Wow I have heard it all now! A rider attempting to make a perfectly legal pass might have to have second thoughts, in a split second in a playoff final, incase the rider he is passing might fall off. This isn’t tiddly winks. MPT left a big gap and Jakobsen did what any other rider would have done. MPT was at fault for leaving the gap. Had he stayed on the inside Jakobsen would have been blocked.

You would never have congratulated Poole no matter what. At least admit it. We are deserving Champs. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make our victory any less. And Poole fans will not lose any sleep over the Morris situation as it wasn’t of our making. If we had named Morris as our guest in the second leg without Kings Lynn booking Ellis it would have been a different story. But we all know, including yourself, that wasn’t the case. Glad to see a Kings Lynn fan see it how it was. Well done that man. No. Both the Swedish and Polish leagues are playoff winners take all. As are many sports inc American Football. Every year when the table toppers don’t win it we get the usual ‘we are the champs” bleating. Back in 2010 it happened to Poole who were 20 plus points ahead of Coventry. I don’t think we had any Poole fans saying “we are the real champs”. We just sucked it up and came back the following season and won it again. Kings Lynn had a good season but all they won was the right to have first pick in the semi, and the pic for second leg of final at home (with rich financial rewards)

Well Iversen failed to do anything tonight. Been rubbish for Kings Lynn. Iversen let Lynn down terribly. No suprise it was a stroll for Somerset and it would have been a slaughter had Allen ridden tonight. Where was he? Time for Allitt to go? Well done to the Rebels. Looking forward to starting next season against you with the shield opener.

Kings Lynns choice of guest goes down to Dale Allit and perhaps his lack of experience is showing through. Last week he caused mayhem booking Ellis after Poole had already booked him, and now he has gone with a rider who is unlikely to beat either of Somersets reserves. Perhaps he should fall on his sword and Chapman bring in someone with more experience?

AGM November 2018
Steve Shovlar replied to Pirates Of Poole's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
The AGM should have already taken place. November is far too late. Mid July would be far better as teams can then plan in advance and riders/fans will know what the ream is/rules are well in advance. If any issues come up they can ve sorted well before the season starts. With BT Sports very happy with speedway as a product the BSPA need to get some money for their product. £13,000 a year per club is an insult. -
The announcer at Kings Lynn said that Morris was able to ride as the 5% extra for home meetings had been extended to away fixtures as well.
-
Ronnie Russel said when interviewed on BT that he was marking the new track out, which would have been done over a month ago. Has this happened?

I wouldn’t lump down £500,000 in one lump sum. Or even £250,000. My business works differently but is rewarding without tying up such large sums in one go. I am not going to bore everyone talking about my business though.
-
I didn’t say 500,000 was too much. I said My business does well without the hassle going with promoting a speedway club, which would take up virtually every waking hour if it was to be run as a full time business. Not the way I would want to work. Twenty years ago maybe.

I would welcome him back no problem. He’s still improving and thought he looked very professional last week.

Most Poole fans would have been happy for Adam to have returned to Poole the following season.

I am wealthy enough Keith, but it’s not worth the stress in my life. Just look at the crap thrown at Matt Ford. Would anyone want all that abuse? No thanks. My business is doing very well with no hassles, no worrying, no fans to please.
