How do you work that out?

Tell you what, such is the anti Poole brigades warped view, if it had been Holder out tonight they would have still said it was tactical and that Poole would be stronger.

People are saying that Bjarne has faked the photo. You couldn't make it up. He didn't have to post a photo anyway! As for tonight, think we will struggle big time to be honest. Putting riders like Buck and Kurtz against Masters and Woffinden was bad enough. Now they have to try and beat Lindgren and Harris. No chance.

We are having some rotten luck at the worst possible time. No Hans, no Bjarne, no Lindback. If Wolves dont beat us on aggregate now they never will. With a full team I would have felt confident of progressing but it needs a miracle to be honest.

Thats that then. No chance of getting past Wolves now. Havent a clue what's up. Disastrous. Guess its r/r so we are a one heat leader team.

Is Adam fit to ride Jonny? I personally think we are 4 points short from the first leg. Sure we have a chance but we need all the riders in form to make the final this year, and it hasn't been the case. Wolves with Harris will be impossible to get close to and you can be sure Woffinden and Lindgren will be right on it, backed by Masters and PK. The Wolves reserves are also a different kettle of fish around Monmore. I am sure the Poole boys will give everything they have got and Middlo will have them fired up. Certainly going to miss Andersen tonight as he can be very good around here, as can Bjarne. Said all along who goes through here will win the championship. Don't see anything to change my mind. Lets hope for a great meeting great atmosphere and riders remaining safe.

So basically no rules were broken. The anti Poole brigade are trying anything they can to say Matt Ford cheated when in truth no rules were broken and no cheating has taken place at all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Andersen didn't race within a week. Where have you go that from? He was injured at Leicester on August Bank Holiday.

Ok can you please show me in the rule book exactly what rules have been broken? I do 't know of a single rule Poole have broken here. If one has, where is it in the rule book please? Hans Andersen was out for a month before attempting a comeback, which he has readily admitted was a failure. And he posted the hand has not yet healed and he couldn't use the hand properly. So he is still out injured. All this utter nonesense about Poole having points deducted and Andersen should ride is quite pathetic, especially as Hans fas said he is not fit to ride. As Grachan said, the more sensible call was to go with a replacement rather than guests. No doubt Harris would have been lining up tomorrow for Poole if Matt Ford hadn't brought in Lindback. Poole would certainly have been stronger. Clearly no rules whatsoever have been broken by Poole. If they had they would have been picked up on it. Instead a few fans have gone Saloms Lot and made fools of themselves y claiming Poole cheated somehow. But without saying what rules they have cheated at.

Harris is guesting for wolves as I said yesterday.

Harris covers and then some.

Jon Cook. "Hello Chris mate. Just heard its off so turn around. Going to be on Wednesday now mate so see you in a couple of days. Bye".

Where? Think his home countries club come first in the pecking order. His twitter says wish Wolves were riding Thursday.

So lets put the boot on the other foot. Lets say buck has the same average as Harris and was riding in the Sedish playoffs. After tonights rainoff, Matt Ford secured the services of Harris for Wednesday. Can you, hand on heart, say 'the guests situation was for tonight only, no long term deal was in place. It's a free for all for the rearrangement. Poole have done nothing wrong'. Never in a million years.

Harris or Thorsell around Monmore? Harris every time. Thorsell has improved but if he misses the start he isn't a Harris coming through.

Has Kings average changed?

Ok wait and see. May have got it wrong........ummm.......errrr.....lol.......hides behind sofa.........someones hacked my account.........er. Clearly bv got Kings sig before anything else happened.

Harris in place of Thorsell virually gaurentees Wolves a place in the final. One of the best riders around Monmore full stop. Have to feel sorry for Lakeside if this news is true.

Harris. Harris bowed to the pressure and as Wolves are his 2017 team. Told you. If this had been Poole doing this the place would have gone into complete and utter meltdown. But more than likely the usual anti Poole mob will praise this move.

Lets wait and see then. So if Harris refuses to ride for Lakeside on Wednesday and turns out for Wolves, will Wolves fans and the anti Poole brigade be happy with that? Truthfully?

Role reversal. Harris is signed to ride at bv. Poole want him at Monmore, and suggest King. Harris agrees to ride for Poole. Que 75 pages about Poole cheating scumbags. Harris is under contract to ride for Lakeside. Simple as that. Whether he honours his contract or not is another matter.

No Harris has a deal to ride for Lakeside in the semi final at Belle Vue. Wolves putting immense pressure on him to back out of the deal. Poor show. Wolves want a rider and he is signed elsewhere. They should look elsewhere.

Been hearing Wolves have put huge pressure pestering Harris to break his deal to ride for Lakeside on Wednesday, suggesting Danny King could ride for Lakeside instead as Lakeside have no hope. All true.

No Poole rider involved. Harris is at Belle Vue.

Harris is guesting for Lakeside at Belle Vue so can't be in two places at the same time. There are other options. R/r would be just as good. Everyone can have a ride. Lindgre, pk, Masters and Woffinden will easily cover Thorsell. Wolves could not ride last Wednesday. Fact. The Wolves promotion asked if Poole would go first because of this issue. Matt agreed to go first in the interests of the sport and Sky. Thats it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
