LisaColette Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Because Lisa when the tender was put out for the January meeting the future of Newport was still in doubt. I am not a great supporter of a meeting being at Poole. Not because its Poole but because Newport IS a Premier club - slightly rough at the seems and an up front, stand by the fence touch and feel meeting (shale in hair etc). Pooles meeting will be yet another manicured event where polite applause and over paid, over rated riders will be attending. That is not a dig at Poole, that is how they wish a January meeting to be held but I dont think its for me. Newports New year Classic is unique and in a way I am pleased Matt Ford is not trying to copy it. No one should - its a newport meeting and cannot be copied. I am sad it wont be happening this year but I pray to god it will be back in 2010. From a financial position I am sure the lost income from the classic can be made very easily in a special memorial meeting as a first of the season fixture in Tims memory. This bitching is quite upsetting really when you think back to how it has all come about. Poole have a meeting this year and so long as he doesnt try and block Newport in 2010 then I think it should rest there.

Sandie Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Who are these "Over paid over rated riders" then? Sorry to interpupt this postie love-in - shouldnt you just say it in a letter!!! Blazeaway, Im sure you have either seen the line up or maybe attended the NYC and as such you will understand that Tim didnt exactly go for the high average, highly paid riders (sorry Bomber!!) and I really enjoyed the rawness of the New year Classic. As the January meeting is now to be a Champions (or something like this) meeting I used this analygy to highlight the difference between the two meetings. I have not picked on anyone in particular obviously as I havent heard any line up yet. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
