Then blame Allit as the cause.

That caused all this carnage. Yet Poole are blamed? Joke!

You can tell them until you are blue in the face Skidder. They won’t listen. Haters gonna hate.

Poole had booked Ellis for the second leg. It is not Poole's fault that Kings Lynn booked Ellis in the first leg, causing the issue. Why on earth should Poole be blamed? They did the right thing. But Lynn refused to drop Ellis from the first leg and find another guest, which would have been for the good of the sport. They wanted Ellis in both legs, even though he was booked by the opposition. So Lynn asked Poole if Poole could use Morris in both legs and they could have Ellis. A meeting yesterday morning with the MC and SCB confirmed that this was fair and for the good of the sport. Poole are actually the innocent party in all this. It won’t make an iota of difference to many on here as they will use it to blast Poole. But why do you think Poole gave up Ellis tomorrow night? Should they have told Lynn to take a jump and we would have Morris and Ellis swapping sides? Think that would have been a far worse scenario.

Have to completely agree. Seems Lynn fans were expecting to win last night. That was certainly the vibe to the Lynn fans I talked to on the second bend. i thought Lynn were gifted 6 points when Ellis jumped to two victories.

Quite simple. Both teams have injured riders. To replace them, both clubs use similar quality riders from other clubs. Done.

Absolutely. Adam jumped in every single heat. After being warned he should have been disqualified in the rerun. what I don’t like is it is not really much of a punishment, as they can bring out a good reserve from the tapes. If you are warned then disqualified it should be 3 riders only imo. Just think they are disappointed and lashing out at anything and everything. Suprised someone posted Matt Ford has a phone line to the ref’s box to tell him to exclude Toft! Ellis didn’t need to touch the tapes to be excluded. Said it several times now. He was already warned for moving at the start. A twitch would have seen him out. But he touched the tapes, before Harris as the tv showed, so really nothing to see here.

The alternative was far far worse.

So after last night Pirates take a 16 point lead into the second leg at Kings Lynn. Is it enough? You can be sure that Kings Lynn will be fired up and want to hit us hard from heat 1. The Pirates will be aware of this and will not want any last places. Thoughts?

Nothing to see here. Mods please close thread to save on bandwidth.

Morris is riding. All legal and sactioned. If you go back about 30 pages it was discussed in detail.

Just watched heat 12. You are right. Jakobsen was through into the lead as Toft had drifted off the racing line. People think this is a non contact sport but that’s not true of course. Two riders cannot be excluded in the same race for touching the tapes. Ellis was on a warning and didn’t need to touch the tape to go. edit. Just watched heat 13. Ellis call correct. He definately touched the tapes before Harris. No suprise he was rolling all night.

Ellis is already booked.

Ellis went through the tapes. Again.

I heard they have been Adam Ellis for the KO Cup final meetings against Somerset.

Press conference.

Said he was nowhere near him.

Not against the rules.

Well that reeks of desperation. He never ride over the grass to get to the start. Next!

Ellis had already been warned, so any movement would result in an exclusion.

So why should Worrall have been excluded? Still waiting for a reply on that one.

So you are NOT neutral. Thanks for confirming it. By the way the playoffs are the best bit of the whole season imo. Love them.

Your info is out of date. Thought I saw some passing last night. Heat 12 Jakobsen. I asked Jakobsen in the press conference if he touched Toft. He said Toft left a huge gap and he took it. This is a final and you go for it.

You have been anti Poole in every post since the semi. Ate you going to cheer on Poole or Lynn tomorrow? My money would not be on the former.

Got away with what? Riding superbly? Didn’t expect 16 point lead in my wildest dreams.
