Come back tomorrow I say.

About 35,000

Shame they cant run it tomorrow. A much drier say.

So Poole have to dumb down? Read it all now.

Seen so much of that type of post from Kings Lynn and Coventry fans. Funnily enough never hear it from Poole fans. Wonder why? Lots of rain about. I hope they get it on but theres bands of the stuff heading eastwards.

Who cares what he is doing in the PL? It means nothing to Poole fans as long as he doesn't get injured. All that matters is what he does for Poole. And in that respect he has been excellent.

Cloud Cuckoo Land, lisa. Just the usual anti Poole drivel. Just a couple of posts back he was on about Newman not doing well away from home yet his scores prove otherwise. He was trying to say the inclusion of Bjarne over Watt negates what Bates will score, yet he completely misses the point. Watt no longer rides for us so comparing Watt and Newman with Bjarne and Bates is meaningless. What should be compared is what Bjarne and Newman would have scored compared to Bjane and Bates.

If this is the case then why did you agree with a poster earlier on who suggested Watt should be rested for a couple of weeks?

If it was aimed at me I am certainly not touchy. I am happy with the team and its potential for continued success. What I don't like is idiot posters coming on to the Poole thread just to throw made up abuse at my team. Gavan has been told on several occassions over the last day that Poole were within the rules at the time when booking Robson. Alan Jones posted this on a couple of occassions yet Gaven still accused Poole of cheating when it was clear to any level headed person that the club were clearly working within the rules. Because of his hatred of Matt Ford he is incapable of rational debate on the Poole threads and so therefore is only here as a troll.

And there you have it. I make a post about the situation clearly and thoughtfully, and the reply from you is based on agression, bias and hatred. Your moronic reply sums you up perfectly and why many on here take your posts as meaningless and just plain bitter. It is impossible to have a discussion with a blinkered person with no other objective other than to throw about abuse on the Poole thread.

The whole country is plastered in heavy shower clouds. Be very lucky to dodge them. Looks like a really heavy downpour due any time now over the town. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile

Rick Frost is main team sponsor so the Club benefit there. But he has no say in how the club is run.

Based on last year. Newmans scores this year are excellent everywhere.

Matt Ford expects and normally gets 100% from his riders. He pays them well and on time. In return the rider commits to giving his all to the cause. How other promotions work with their riders is their concern. When a rider signs for Poole he will know that anything less than full commitment will not be tolerated. Middlo demands it in the pits, and Matt demands it for the fans and for the sponsors. Any slacking will be picked up on pretty quickly. Dave Watt brought his personal problems to work. Yes of course it is hard to switch off your feelings but most of us in life have had painful breakups. It's part of life. There will always be someone else to share your life with a little further down the road. You just have to man up rough it and the pain does ease with time. The trouble was his performances cost Poole at least 6 points. He rode appallingly at Lakeside, a track he should have scored double figures at, and at Brandon scored a measly two points. If Poole had somehow managed to win both meetings he might have had a stay of execution, but he cost the team and Matt won't tolerate that. People on here moan and curse about Poole's win at all cost mentality but Matt Ford is not in it to make up the numbers and until another promoter comes along who has the money and ability to compete, Matt will keep doing what he is doing.

So basically you have been proved completely wrong but still accuse Poole of cheating even though they have played in completely by the book! Your blind hatred of Matt Ford makes your posts meaningless because they lack subjectiveness.

Look at Newmans scores. Look at Bates scores. Tell me now it doesn't weaken us. If Bates scores what Newman would have, say 9-10 points tonight, then he would have covered Newman. Any less and we would be down on points.

I would liked to have come up for this but its just to risky to make such a long journey with the weather unsettled as it is. At least if it does go ahead I can watch it on tv. The track got the best possible watering yesterday with the rain and that always helps produce good racing. Lets hope we dont get one of those very heavy showers I experienced yesterday in Gloucestershire. One thing is guarenteed if it goes ahead. It will be the best meeting so far this season on Sky. It can't be as bad as the first meeting we saw. I think we are in for a thriller.

Eh?

Get yourself down to Poole. Great crowd, good racing, a real buzz about thd place. Plenty I would change at Poole as well to improve things but I am not the promoter.

A strange post. You are angry ay Poole because Leicester have a weak team? What the hell has that got to do with Poole?

You seriously think Bates is better than Newman? Good god. Thats all I have to say on that. As for Robson, they have just added an adjustment to the rule AFTER Poole booked him. So Poole did nothing wrong. However, I do see the reason why this was done and agree with it.

True enough but he should have moved faster.

So the use of Robson has been over ruled even though it is in the rules. Bates for Newman takes the pendulum firmly towards a Kings Lynn victory as Bates doesn't have anywhere near the scoring potential of Newman. If its rained off I wont be minding as we will come back full strength. 47-43 ish

Not quite irrelevant as it means we have Brady at reserve with the option for seven rides.

Agree with that. His charity work has been exemplary. My only gripe with the guy is he cant be arsed to ride here. If he is tired, then drop Sweden. Riding for the right EL club would not only raise his profile but also attract quality UK sponsorship. As it is he is almost an unknown over here.
