Plymouth (42) v (48) Poole

[Gavan]

Not Pooles fault but that’s 3 meetings in a row now where they have benefited racing against a weakened injured team 

Plymouth with a fully fit Lasse would be winning this and now struggling is helping Poole hugely in the race for top

Hi Gavin, give it a rest mate. Your obsession with Poole is not only weird but the fact you think thst they always gain advantages from other teams. I don't understand why.

Don’t think this ref likes Kerr, he’s been excluded twice and done nothing wrong in either of them

Without wishing to be a pedant, I can't see any regulation that provides that,  without SCB approval in advance ( under 0.10.5 p)

Reg 011.4 c then sets out the reduced facility provision, but, to my mind, that presupposses that a facility is applicable under reg 010.5 in the first place. 

Is there a diifferent reg number you are thinking of? ( I appreciate that it's not your responsibility to satisfy my curiosity! I might e-mail SCB to ask for its view)

If SCB doesn't have to approve in advance what's to stop a rider not going to a track he doesn't like, and for the club to get a 75% reduced facility guest who is a track specialist ( and therefore an improvement on its own rider?)

 

Lol, don't waste your time mate... I emailed them twice asking which regulation Workington breached that got them a 2 league point deduction, as it's normally stated in their press release, never received a reply!

I'm wondering why Barker got the IRR ride in heat 3. In normal circumstances it would be used in heat 12 - to avoid both reserves having to go out together. 

While Barker win the heat, so it looks like it worked, as Plymouth knew Kerr was excluded from the re-run, I wonder if they would've put Spencer out, guaranteed at least a 3-3 using your weakest rider?

As it turns out, with Kerr excluded from heat 12, they've got a guaranteed at least a 3-3 using their weakest rider in that heat anyway.

I guess that means if a rider was genuinely ill, but his club couldn't find a similar averaged rider to guest & best option was actually 75% of his average, the club could then say "he's not ill, he just can't be bothered" so he doesn't get a 7 day suspension for a non-speedway injury / illness?

You dont know what would have happened and it was Lasse's fault, Kerr should not have been excluded and he should not have been excluded in his next race either, Tom Soencer just had horrific crash, went over the air fence.

[Bluekevin]

Need Poole track staff to show how to replace fence.

You comment on every Poole meeting and its always in a negative way. Its not like Ipswich raced against a weakened team in their last meeting!

Please read what I wrote …. I said it wasn’t Pooles fault how is that negative it’s fact

You have lol 

Plymouth lost a heat leader tonight and there number 1 is missing 

Plymouth lost Barker early on the other night 

And Oxford turned up with Scunthorpes number 7 riding at 3

At Ipswich we faced Oxford with no Tungate and and weaker number 4…. We got lucky …. It happens in speedway 

If you can’t acknowledge that you have had the rub of the green recently I find that a bit strange

If Poole win this league featuring two riders well past their sell by date then it just proves how weak the Championship has become.

[ASpeedwayfan]

Feel for the pirates, few shocking decisions and they end up some how losing on the night. 
glad all riders appear to have gotten away injury free.

Id have gone Kerr over Thompson in heat 15. The form of Zach and Anders is a worry

[foreverblue]

How did we throw that away. Zach was rubbish all night and got passed by Joe T in heat 14.

Yes Zach and Anders had bad nights, Barker was incredible. 

[Weeyin]

Barker riding through the pain barrier wanted the win so badly, fair play to him, that was some effort
