Never ever spoken to me perhaps if he had the b*lls to i might not feel so bitter(yes i would!)just shows what kind of a person he is.

Understatement....Club went bust and took all my testimonial money along with many other riders wages and various companies who could ill afford it .Yet a certain gentleman?? was still running around in a Rolls Royce living in a large house living the high life.I gave ten years racing to the club fans turned up at my meeting to show their appreciation.I got nothing! Perhaps you can see why i am a liitle bitter.

Entrepeneaur???? not a word i would use for him.If he is so good at being an entrepeneaur ask him to use his entrepeneaurial skills to get my testimonial money which dissapeared while he was promoter at Poole.Then i would be impressed!!

When i start paying the wages i can say who we have until then sorry cant do a thing about it, sure we speak about selections but at the end of the day he pays them and he pays me.Do you tell your boss who to hire and what to pay them? I think not,unless you are the boss of course.My employees certainly do not have any say in who works for me .

apology cant read left school early to ride speedway!!

I am the manager its what it says in the word manage.Matt employs the riders I just look after them at the meetings.I would love a team of Brits but I am afraid there are not enough in the Elite League to go around all the teams. Why do you doubt my patriotism?? I will be very interested in your reasoning behind that statement.

I'm sorry am i missing something what has Matt Ford got to do with Team GB? Juniors are not my department suggest you phone the stadium and ask them. We are talking about getting behind Team GB riders management etc not your personal vendetta against Poole speedway. You do get easily distracted.

I'm sorry am i missing something what has Matt Ford got to do with Team GB? Juniors are not my department suggest you phone the stadium and ask them. Dont worry you wont have to use your real name.

Oh sorry I didnt realise I was not allowed an opinion!! Oh and the knockers on the forum dont try and tell riders,management what to do.Please!!! Just because i stick up for the riders through thick and thin and always will I am sorry if that does not agree with some people.Its called patriotism...look it up. Some people on this forum should hang their heads in shame the amount of cr*p they spout about riders,managers, promoters etc is truly laughable.

AHA!! ALMOST A COMPLIMENT!

Ok peeps gotta sleep got a paper round in the morning!.Look forward to Thursday for some more friendly banter. Take care and whatever you think about Team GB support them.

PHEW!! thought you were getting soft!

Was that a back handed compliment?

Never had a bad day at work ?

Not a prob,just like to get my point across freedom of speech and all that.Does surprise me somewhat tho,all the negative vibes from people, thought this was for people who actually liked speedway correct me if i am wrong.

Oh please is that the best you got?why do you people bother going? its all negative, pick another sport, i am bored with the same old suspects slagging off our sport which the majority of people on this forum actually enjoy

OH sorry didnt realise you were such an authority

why? And you are an expert?

Dont you worry about me, i dont have a problem with people slagging me off what i have is a problem with is people who have never been on a bike or managed a team passing judgement on riders doing their best.Speedway is not easy believe me do you honestly think that team GB wanted to have a mare tonight? Hello!!! reality check i dont think so.So back off from the boys unless you can do better we all have off days and whatever happens on Thursday you can bet your house that they will all give 100% whether it is good enough we will see. But do not sit in judgement unless you have been there and can understand the emotion and pressure they are under. On that note a very goodnight to you all. MIDDLO

Remember racing with Speedy and him being my Team Manager a great guy one of speedways good people R.I.P. my friend

Just a quick thank you to all the fans who turned up at Coventry and supported us last night the boys were so pumped with the crowd reaction,I know I often say it but your support really does lift them. Now onto to Leszno for the big one we will give it our best shot of that you can be sure. Thanks again Middlo

I think last night they did, they were all racers, that is what you need, gaters are great but they miss the gate and in the world cup with the quality of riders on show they will struggle.

Ghostie it is me ask Bryn, I have done the whole spectrum in speedway supporter,rider,manager and anyone will tell you I am just one of the boys who loves this sport.I respond because I feel strongly about being told how to do my job which i do to my best ability not everyone may agree but that is there right and i am entitled to my opinion as is everyone. I know how to win the world cup give me five riders with JCs ability job done! Thanks,they were awesome all of them, we will be giving it our best shot come Thursday
