If you put someone on ignore then you don't bother to read their posts, but if you're going to read them anyway it's not worth having anyone on ignore. Curiosity obviously gets the better of you.

Chris Brown Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) How would Ford get £60k of sponsorship for a meeting just to raise funds for a conference team, and what riders would show up for that? Poole cannot run a conference team anyway as they do not own the stadium. Plus weren't Poole one of the few EL teams to take the acadamy league seriously this year, giving invaluable experience to youngsters just starting out in the sport. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  Not sure what owning the stadium has to do with running a Conference Team  Not sure that Oxford, Boston or Weymouth for three examples own the stadium but managed to run in the Conference League  As for Poole taking the Academy League seriously, yes they did, just a shame it has taken 10 years of the current promotion to finally get round to doing ANYTHING to promote up and coming British speedway riders. Lets hope they stick with it then Edited January 2, 2008 by Chris Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Not sure what owning the stadium has to do with running a Conference Team <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â It has everything to do with it at Poole, Chris. The stadium owners wanted double the amount of rent for running conference meetings as opposed to an EL meeting when this was mooted a couple of years ago. The Academy League meetings have luckily been the break that Poole have been able to make use of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course 2nd half racing could always have been done at Poole. Shovvy used to argue that there was no time for youngsters to have races after the meeting. Glad to see that time has been found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe some places charge extra to hire the track to run 2nd halves as it's extra to the original contract!! So the same could still apply.

So section 2 is in front of the starting gate. Hope that helps. Â Weather wise who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posh panther Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Thanks for that so i take it section2 would be the better bet then?its only the 5hour journey that gives me the weather worry!..fond memories of poole,last time i was there panthers hammered you with zabik the star of the show and my earliest speedway memory ermolenko doing wheelies at the back in what i think was his first meeting over here!

Trees Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I still cannot believe the Poole management have left Chris Holder out of this monumental meeting, his first season in Poole colours, a rider they hope to hold on (hehe) to for many years, has won every round of the aussie championship so far ........... odd!

Steve Shovlar Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) Think he has always been in it. Though I may be wrong. Â Riders booked include Nicki Pedersen, Jason Crump, Leigh Adams, Hans Andersen, Greg Hancock, Andreas Jonsson, Scott Nicholls, Chris Harris, Bjarne Pedersen, Krzysztof Kasprzak all of whom will be GP competitors for 2008 along with Danish international Kenneth Bjerre, and Poole Castle Cover Pirate duo of Australian Davey Watt and debutant Karol Zabik. Â Thats only 13 riders. Who are the others? Edited January 6, 2008 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
