The most important thing for Swindon is the building of the new stadium at this place in time. The playoffs are Bonus if they mke it. Next season starting in a new stadium would be awesome.

Actually we are off to the West Indies for a couple of weeks at Sandy Lane in November. Lovely. What are you on about now? Weird. I will look out for you next Wednesday on the first/second bend and introduce myself. What's the betting you won't be there?

Gavan has finally realised he was making a pillock of himself and quit the forum. Seriously the odds are in favour of the Poole knockers starting this thread because for Poole to win the title they have a massive task against Wolves, and if by some luck they get past that, they have Belle Vue who have beaten us three times out of four this season. So odds stacked that we will get that thread. Don't forget Poole fans, Adam Ellis is riding in the World U21 final second leg tonight and its live to watch at 6pm.

Thing with Woffinden was, he sulked through the 2014 season making no effort whatsoever. It was nothing to do with lack of ability but the fact he didn't want to ride here after signing a contract. It was his way of making a point to the Wolves management. His excuse was that he was tired.

So he tried a kodi link that he said didn't work, while I and allthegearbutnaeidea enjoyed the 4 semis. How strange. Perhaps he was trying to view the wrong link. Certainly all working for me. Rmc needs to see a professional to sort out his issues. A ridiculous rant. Lol. Judging by the time he made his rant he could well have been on the pop. Trouble is it is completely unfounded and whatever he saw in my posts wasn't there in the real world. I posted links and gave advice on how to watch on Kodi. Nothing more. All strange but I do hope he sticks to his side of the bargain and doesn't post again.

Oh dear what a saddo. Like this post if you agree.

This will go ahead. Theres a band of rain heading east which has cleared Reading and will hit but after that it looks clear unless the rain changes direction. Let the best team win.

Well Poole had no choice. It is an injury replacement, not a strengthen replacement so can't be classed the same as Wolverhampton. The bad luck fell on Poole so Matt Ford had to do the best he possibly could for his club. By the sound of the moans he did just that. But what was he meant to do? Choose a lesser rider when the possibility was there to bring in a club asset who is extremely popular with the Poole massif? Of course not! The injury to Hans is genuine and there for all to see. Unfortunate but speedway is a dangerous sport and these things happen on a quite regular basis. Would I have liked Lindback to have come in in place of Fricke? No but it if was within the rules I would have to accept it, the same as Woffinden for Kylmo. Remember, none of this would have happened if Hans had not been injured.

Yep. Really bad of Matt Ford and Poole to block Richard Hall from riding in the CL. How very dare they.

You seem to think Poole caused Hans injury so they could bring in Lindback. Poole didn't want Hans to get injured. It was a Belle Vue rider that caused it and he is out for the season, or at least the next few weeks meaning he is out for the playoffs. Not Pooles fault. Tungate for bv and Harris for Wolves would probably do better than Antonio. So count your blessings Poole did the right thing and bought in an asset rather than use horses for courses guests. No. We are not doing the same. Bringing in Woffinden was a purely tactical move. Poole bringing in Lindback has been forced on them due to a season ending injury. Well done Poole on not using horses for courses guests.

The rule was bought in to help clubs who have riders with season ending injuries. Poole lost the services of Piotr Pawlicki and couldn't replace him. They lost the services of Darcy Ward and couldn't replace him. Now they can it makes sense. Pretty sure late season injuries have affected other clubs as well. Its not 'doing a Wolverhampton' by bringing a world champion in and booting out a fit third heat leader. It is replacing a rider who is out for the season with a club asset. Better than going into the playoffs using guests, though we would be probably stronger by doing that.

I would say all Poole fans ( with the exception of one or two oddballs) are absolutely delighted Matt Ford has got a decent replacement in. The alternative would have been horses for courses guests. Harris at Wolves, Tungate at Belle Vue if we make it that far. They would score just as much as Lindback, or probably even more.

A voice of reason. End of the day the injury is genuine, occurred at Leicester, the riders season is over and we needed a replacement. Lindback fits and even better is a Poole asset. Interestingly when the news broke yesterday, it was also mentioned that Zmarzlik, Vaculik, Dudek and Laguta have all been given the same average as Lindback. So next season we could be seeing these riders starting in the uk, if a deal can be reached, on a 7.

Trying what on? Andersen is out for the season so Poole need to get a replacement in. Who should they get in the list of riders that fit and are willing to ride? Common sense would say the best they can get. And even better Lindback is a Poole asset. No brainer. He can't he is out. Poole didn't decide Lindbacks average. MF is not on the MC. Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of Woffindens average, his signing demonstrates that Van Straaten stil nurtures this 'must win at all costs' mentality. Whether that's right of wrong is up to individuals to decide. Suffice to say that in my own view, the euphoria around his inclusion at this late stage by 'the gold rinse brigade' really does leave me somewhat gobsmacked. - Can you honestly feel any sense of achievement; bringing into your team a 'mercenary' that has not bothered riding for you for a couple of years; and has done nothing whatsoever throughout the 2016 to contribute towards your current position? - Does winning the league title really mean so much to you? Sadly, the answer to these two questions from the Midlands are probably 'Yes'. How very sad - not only from a speedway supporters' perspective; but possibly a sad indictment upon the values that you adopt in life generally. Nothing against Tai as he's an exciting rider. But any subsequent wins that you achieve with his recent inclusion would, for me anyway, have the depth of a grain of sand. Lol. Funny how we didn't read a post like this from you when Wolves chopped out Kylmakorpi for the world champion recently, after Woffinden ran out of meetings abroad. But your hatred of all things Poole goes back years. This is a sport. Of course we have a win at all costs mentality! In it to win it! There would be no point otherwise! And regardless of this injury to Hans and Antonio answering a call, Belle Vue are still favourites for the title and Poole will really struggle to make the final.

It is a big one. If Matt Ford said Poole are going to ride second, what will Woves do? Wolves would not have been able to fulfill their obligations and therefore the semi would be over one leg only. Matt Ford to the rescue of Wolves. And people have called him a cheat? Wolves fans should be applauding his very sporting behaviour here. I know the Wolverhampton management are grateful to MF for helping them out of a big hole. As for bv signing a replacement, it was their rider that caused all this in the first place! The rules were changed so this could happen. Poole lost the services of Darcy Ward and Pawlicki just before the playoffs and were unable to properly cover for him, in one case gifting Swindon an easy final. Now sensibly the rules have changed allowing an injury replacement. They certainly are but Lindback is going to find it hard to be hitting the ground running. Hancock on his return wasn't banging in big scores. The rules were recently changed to allow injury replacement so teams didn't have to go into the playoffs weakened. Of dear there goes all the conspiracy theories. It was a genuine injury after all and Hans season is over. No cheating from Poole whatsoever leaving egg on all the Poole haters faces. Expect page after page of apologies now from the anti Poole brigade as Poole have not cheated at all but followed the rules in place.

Matt Ford did not set the average for Lindback.

The big one where your club asked the Poole promotion if they could go second or they were in trouble, because Monmore is not available next Wednesday.

Tis but a scratch. Poole cheats!!!

Wolves could not ride next Wednesday and the reason they asked Poole if they could ride the second leg. Matt Ford agreed to help out the midlands club.

He said it is getting better daily but he could be three weeks away. That xray shows the bad damage. Hardy a tip of a finger. Andersen isn't a meek and mild guy who would say what he is told. Its pretty clear he is not fit to race in the playoffs and has confirmed it. If he was pissed he would say nothing. People like SteveO have screamed insults and made dicks of themselves but its all cleared up now with nothing left to see. Time to move on.

Think you had better apologise to Poole speedway for your comments. Have you just read what Andersen has just posted?

All approved and done.
