If riding in Denmark how is that allowed to happen? Fair enough if he was Danish but obviously he isn't. I thought Poole were supposed to be the most professional team in GB speedway? Sounds like they are just as amateurish as the rest!

Poole are not in control of who else is signs for

I do blame the rules. And I’m also fairly confident in this instance I brought this up and it’s been Poole supporters including you who have replied. So not really a lot of discussion.

Well of course a few Poole supporters would reply, its a Poole thread about a Poole rider!

I thought it was a thread about a meeting between Poole and Berwick. And my opinion on that topic was one team shouldn’t be allowed a guest in this and other meetings. Clearly I’ve misunderstood.

Dear Misunderstood, not sure why you're so upset? As a Berwick fan you ran Poole very close when Lawson was missing with illness (he also missed Ipswich and got a 7 day ban) and Berwick ran with a guest before knocking Poole out of the Cup. Have faith........😇

Poole should be telling Denmark to do one when there is a Wednesday night clash over their British rider! I can understand why Kildermand is missing as he is Danish!!!!!!!!!!! Joke sport.

I’ve never mentioned Lawson and I thought I’d made it quite clear I’d hold the same opinion regardless of team. Narcissism seems to be creeping in to this match thread. Not everyone is out to get Poole.

The long and short of it is do the Poole fans Lawson will be banned for Saturday 

Why is Saturday relevant? Lawson has 2 more meetings before then - Ippo and Poole at Oxford.

Well within the official rules as you well know @lewy 😄

but pilots have managed to keep that underperforming / injured rider on a 5 point average when his true average is just over 3 points, so a decent guest can be used, until another rider takes up the £s offered to ride in lots of end of season fixtures, my guess could be slater lightcap, but not until mid August so he won't get a true average 

If Lightcaps 2 points from 4 rides for Zielona Gora today is anything to go by I would rather not. BTW Cairns scored 10 in the same meeting.

I gather Lawson had eggs and Danish bacon for breakfast, followed by a Danish pastry washed down with his coffee.🤣

Hope he's banned for them meetings as well 😜 surly he is with holding his services in the UK by riding in Denmark, and the rules are a 7 day ban for this type of thing. But rules seem different for Poole

Isn't it Lawsen now? Will be giving the stream of this farce a miss.

And before he had a bit of a haircut he looked very much like a danish viking

Yes so a Poole thread about a Poole rider. I would have said it is up to Berwick to raise objections to us being allowed a guest, maybe someone could ask Stewart Dickson his thoughts.

You could be right there @Fromafar as the above post shows not even sponsors care about the state british speedway is in 🙈😔

And all promoters know they will need to use all the "ahhh but what if?', regulations put together, up to, and including, "in the interests of Speedway" at some stage of the season...

There will be over 200 guests used this season in tiers one and two, with a large percentage down to fixture clashes, and "illness", and not injuries...

A truly incredible way to run what is supposed to be considered (by themselves at least), a professional team sport...

Edit. As an ironic footnote to this, I have just read a Speedway Star from a few weeks ago and in the "10 years ago" section if quotes Matt Ford as saying..

"Its only a matter of time when" (a squad system should be introduced), to avoid meetings packed with guests..

"The one absolute certainty I can give you is that it is going to happen, its just when people finally don't feel frightened by it, for want of a better word, and understand how it would work"..

"We are limiting and strangling ourselves by sticking to the old format of using the same seven men, it can't continue"..

"At no point has it ever been as bad as it is now, and at no point have people being talking so negatively about the sport, the biggest reason for that is the lack of fixtures and continuity"...

Remember this was TEN YEARS AGO!...

It could have been written today...  :rolleyes:
