Arthur Daley Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The facts remain, shovlar, that your opinion would be completely different if it had been Poole who had this meeting stolen from them in these circumstances. And also we all know what sort of bile you would be posting if Coventry had done what Poole have just done. Your bias towards your leader holds no bounds and has very little credibility.

SuzieQ Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I wonder whose back passage you are actually up - it was publicly announced in the Speedway star last week that Newport were able to "continue" running it so WHO then had to make the RASH decision for Poole to get it ? but on the "Newport, Any News" Thread it states "Roger Youngs, the man set to be the new owner of the Welsh club after probate is complete" Now, as nothing seems to have been made official yet that Probate is now complete then how can a statement be made that Newport are able to continue running? Does anyone really know when Probate will be complete? I thought that was like the question: how long is a piece of string? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wheredid you get that CR&P from - can you quote the post from the Newport Pl thread please So tell me oh wise one. Who, other than Poole, applied to run this meeting? Answer is no one! Perhaps rather than shouting out abuse you could have put your hand in yoour pocket and applied yourself. I mean, no other promoter than Matt Ford applied for it. If I say it enough times you might take that sentence in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Who is the new newport promoter, and I have to ask, why didn't he apply to run it? Newport fans are all upset but it's not Poole's fault. If Poole hadn't stepped in there would be no NYC anyway. Where the hell have you been - everyone knows who the new promoter is albeit not yet completed but yet this is just a formality and why should it be assumed that Newport could not run the NYC - its not like its happening in a fortnight and the proceedings need to be speeded up and another promotion needed to step in - and if Poole hadn't stepped in then NO other club would have wanted to take it on - WELL SO WHAT - it would have taken a year out - Of course newport fans are upset but they are not the only ones - The New Year Classic was a meeting that was put on for the whole of the Speedway world not just the newport fans. but it still boils down to the fact that your illustrious leader had the respect for his own gain that prompted him and ONLY HIM (as all the other clubs had more respect ) to jump on the case and BAG the event. Carry on putting him on a pedestal but you will be amazed how many out there that really wouldn't spit at the base of his pedestal - but he will knaw away at his own backbone and eventually his ar$e will make contact with his tonsils and his ears will explode with the sheer impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbit Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 (edited) and if Poole hadn't stepped in then NO other club would have wanted to take it on - WELL SO WHAT - it would have taken a year out - Ok, so let me get this right. If hypothetically Newport didn't run the meeting, you'd rather the speedway world (for whom you say the NYC was put on anyway) didn't get to see a winter meeting in 2009, than it be run elsewhere on a one year deal. Yes, I see your logic there Edited October 16, 2008 by rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I see your logic there Considering everyone knows the take over dealings (and more importantly the BSPA) with Newport would it not have been appropriate for the bspa to have held off their decision until maybe the end of this month before they had awarded the NYC to Poole or any other club it had been offered to. And maybe by the end of this month if newport were not able to offer an official promotion able to take it on then they could have reverted to Plan B ? I just feel that the gun has been jumped. Newport are desperate to have Speedway back in 2009 and the prospects are looking very very good, and i can imagine there are alot of people out there that would be supportive of us in wanting us to get it back but unfortunately sometimes in the world of reality you have to wait for the powers that be to take their time and finalise affairs and these cannot be rushed or pushed through the back door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Yet again how do you know he would ? Because he said so publicly. He announced his intention to run the meeting in the Speedway Star as soon as he was in a position to do so. I still say that if the Poole promotion only took on the running of the meeting to keep it alive then they now have the perfect opportunity to hand it over. We realise that won't happen because despite the spin Steve Shovlar is putting on it the only reason they are running the meeting is to make money.

Saint Charlie Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Professional sport is competitive, people hate winners hence the hatred of Poole. Why not just be happy that there is the opportunity of seeing Speedway well before the season starts? Surely other teams promoters could sort other meetings across the country? Surely better a meting at Poole than no meeting at all? Plus if you don't like it don't go, enough people will so Matt Ford won't be bothered. The meeting is primarily aimed at Poole fans, and most are happy so Matt Ford is happy. Fans of other clubs should ask why their promotion aren't so ambitious and seem willing to settle for the norm.

LisaColette Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Oh look people are still attacking matt ford, now there's a surprise!! Without the full facts being known as well. I think this is the last time i will read this thread as star's comments actually make me feel sick!! Completely out of order, as always there are two sides to every story. But i guess that doesn't stop some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
