Maybe not abusive, but some of it has been extremely harsh but i think feelings were running high among some fans and maybe they have calmed down about it now.

I think maybe he was misquoted or its just a mistake as i don't think he meant poole fans.

I only had one drink!! and i'm not sure putting lemonade in a blue wkd is a good idea!

I have got such a thumping headache i would rather not do it but the main points were when he did mention tim stone he got a bit emotional about it - you could just tell in his voice. So all this stealing it from tim and disrespecting him is a bit out of order as they were good friends. Also he mentioned 5 other clubs were interested in having it but only poole applied for it in the end. Poole applied for it in september. Also that it is costing a lot of money just to run it. Those were the main points.

TBH hearing what matt said tonight as he did talk about this meeting, i think i'm gonna take his word over anyone one's on here.

Riders announced so far: Daniel King, Lewis Bridger, Olly Allen, Stuart Robson, Eddie Kennett, David Howe and Emil Krammer. Come on, 6 out of 7 brits is pretty good for us!!

Not sure if matt is planning on saying anything about the NYC tomorrow night. But if he does i'm sure someone will let you know if your question gets answered.

Don't think there will be one without the other!

May you should ask matt yourself, that way you'll get it straight from the horses mouth.

If anyone's interested the first set of riders who are riding in this meeting are to be announced on weds.

Yeah, it would be - but there's only one person who can change the name unfortunately!

Yeah lets call it the champion of champions when not all of them are champions. That makes sense!

Can't see any reason why anyone should have a problem with that.

Yes, i am surprised. I thought it would be the newport fans that wouldn't be impressed with us calling it the new year classic after the champions idea didn't quite work out.

Fair enough, i do actually agree to an extent. But i think people are trying to make it more of an issue than it actually is.

Sorry can't help but laugh at that when its coming from the grim reeper!

That is what it is being advertised as on the poole website

Yes it is. Its just some people are never satisfied, so i'm off to put some cotton wool in my ears before the moaning starts!

Sssh! You'll start all the newport fans off again! Or even worse CC! Oops too late....

Its not a champions meeting anymore, so you could be the only champion there!

I don't think steve is the one trying to cause trouble. Dave69 knows poole won't give the meeting back, think he's the one trying to cause trouble!

Not really, as if he wanted to be in it next year he wouldn't have said that. Bomber being in is a shock.

Bit of a long way to come just for one meeting! Is it champions from 2008 or former champions as well?

There isn't one this year, well thats what everyone keeps telling me anyway!

Holder!
