There you go - you even know the rules - but want to relax them because it’s Poole?

It’s not about Poole - it’s about the rules - those very same rules that you often hide behind. If the same happened to a Swindon rider i’d Be saying the same. The “fairest” thing is that Poole follow the rules. If they use RR then Scrabble gets a 28 day ban and if they use a NL rider then he can ride in the next Poole meeting - it is that simple and the federation license he holds is totally irrelevant!

Polish license or not - UK has priority on Mondays. If he rides in Poland and Poole use a facility for him - then it’s an automatic 28 day ban!

Well it will be interesting to see who replaces him in the Poole line-up. If anything other than a NL rider then it will definitely be wrong!

Yes I would - all in the rules!

I agree. Monday’s are priority for UK teams and if riders choose (or forced) to ride elsewhere (whatever their nationality or license issuing authority) then no facility. If Poole use a facility then it should be a 28 day ban for Josh!

You don’t have to keep saying it!! We all realise that Jack isn’t scoring and I’m sure both he and Rosco know this and his time in the team must be under scrutiny. Max Clegg is no better than Jack so no point in replacing like for like. None of the top 5 will be replaced - especially Morra - unless injured. So looks like Jack will be staying unless someone of the quality of Stefan Nielsen comes available on a 2 point average!

The referee disagrees with this view!

The rule was used “referee’s sole discretion”. Time to move on...

It's like watching speedway in the fog FFS! Can't believe how poor the track prep has been!

Nothing wrong with that start - Muesli made a good start and ref called it back!

Tropical!

The referee certainly took a dislike to Lambert - both decisions against him were wrong!

A bargain average

Surely they would be shouting it from the rooftops to maximise the crowd? We’ve heard nothing! If true - what a great signing - what’s his average and surely it too high to replace Jacob?

Do trolls have feelings?

The press conference is on social media for all to see/hear and realise if they didn't know already, that you are a troll.

You can just see SS has been waiting for this! At least there are reasons for Swindon getting beaten - injuries! Whereas Poole riders had no such excuse for earlier in the season. Anyway - it’s not going to change my life but has made SS very happy.

You were there were you to see them under perform or is it that their Swindon opposites were better?

DC2 has been winding him up all season so hardly surprising. But I think you have hit the nail on the head

It’s buts and maybes - we will never know because Bellego didn’t ride! I agree the two reserves were poor but that’s injuries for you and Smith is clearly not ready for the PL!

No surprise with Bellego out and no adequate cover. Add to that Zach out and poor reserves. Well done Somerset.

It’s totally wrong and they even managed to out-Poole Poole

If Mountain (or anyone else) has an equal or lower average than Smith then he can be replaced - and needs to be because he is showing little or no improvement in his scoring ability.

I am very surprised that Swindon are still persevering with Smith. There was an ideal opportunity to replace him with Mountain (especially with Zach being out) and really surprised that Rosco has not made a change - although there are no better options now. They will continue to slide down the table without sorting out the reserves IMHO.
