tanya Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 They have held the WTC? They have held the ELRC? That's what it's based on and that wasn't what all my message was about. Slanging matches are not appropriate at this time. Good luck to Poole with the NYC, I hope they enjoy it. Obviously Newport can do nothing about it now.

El Fantasma Jinete Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Rob, no other club other than Poole applied to run it. Several clubs showed an interest but didn't apply in the end. Hmm maybe all the other clubs showed a bit more respect then! I was a regular attendee to the NYC at Newport, but as for going to Poole, well no thanks.

Â If you're referring to my post, which I believe you were, then no, I'm not interested in a slanging match either and that wasn't my intention. But sometimes when these things blow up people do let over-reactions get in the way of facts. Edited October 16, 2008 by rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Get one thing straight Newport are NOT a defunct club, I resent your asumptions they are. They are tempoarlily inactive due to tragic circumstances, they will start up again. It was to be in January , but Poole jumped in before Tim was even buried, Matt Ford quite frankly gives not only Speedway, but the town of Poole a bad name. Â Who is to say the new guy at newport would or would want to run the new year classic ? as you say it was tim stone brainchild . Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar 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? Â Newport fans are all upset but it's not Poole's fault. If Poole hadn't stepped in there would be no NYC anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 A bit of a ridiculous statement. If Poole hadn't held it it would not have taken place. And it's only for one year. Newport don't have a current promoter and until all legalities are sorted there won't be any speedway at Newport so why be bitter?.  YOU dont have a clue what you are talking about - what do you mean "If Poole hadn't held it, it wouldn't have taken place" Newport are in the process of tying up loose ends BUT hey - look !! The grave digger gets his request.  I quoted last night "No smoke without fire and got slated for slagging off an innocent man - well - today has turned up a whole new story, he was guilty and for all you Poole fans that defended him - EAT YOUR WORDS - for anyone that really knew what he had planned would have known what the announcement was gonna be this morning.  Interestingly enough - how many of you Poole fans DISAGREE with the decision that has been made ?  NEWPORT were well prepared to run the New Year Classic in all ways but OH NO - yet again Newport have been robbed of another meeting and there was no need for a rash decision to be made as to who would hold the New Year Classic but it seems like a case of who you know rather than what you know and who can kiss the right arse for the right price.  It sickens me immensely - like I said a grave digger for his own financial gain and i wasn't wrong.  The only RESPECT that man - oh sorry - what an insult to the male species - the only RESPECT that person has got is for his wallet.  Hang your head in shame Fat Maud and your promotion - one day it will come back and bite you in the AR$E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Interestingly enough - how many of you Poole fans DISAGREE with the decision that has been made ? Â The honest truth? I really don't care to be honest. If it had been at Newport, I wouldn't have gone. Now it's at Poole, I'll be working that day. It could have been at any other club and I'd have the same opinion. Â Just think people are getting carried away without knowing all full details about timings etc, and exactly who has done what. All I've read so far is that we've applied for the meeting and got it, and some hearsay and rumours based on when an application was supposedly made, and that some bods were supposed to want to put it on at Newport but no-one is really sure whether they'd contacted the BSPA to say so. It'll be interesting at some point to finally get some facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you now feel better.  Tell me, if everything was in place, why didn't they apply to run it? The BSPA told all clubs to come back to them before September 30th.  Only Poole bothered.  Rather than aim your venom at an innocent club and promoter, perhaps you should be venting your rage at your new promoter for not getting his tender in on time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 All I can add, is that when I was told of this on Monday, it was said at the time that no objections to the plan to hold the meeting had been received. I've no reason to doubt the integrity of the person who told me this so this might indicate that no other promotion or concern were planning to go ahead at Newport or anywhere else. At the moment a lot of the anger appears to be based on rumour and heresay over timings and possibilities. Â Â WHO had the opportunity to object ?

star Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Although I can understand some of the bad feeling towards the Poole promotion, if anyone should be blamed then it should be the BSPA whom (according to the press release) ratified Matt Ford's application to run the meeting. As a Reading supporter now living in Dorset, I'm actually looking forward to this meeting and hope it will be a success. Although Matt may not be eveyone's favourite promoter I have far more confidence in him putting on a good show than the current Reading promoters. If you compare the line-up for the Poole Jubilee meeting with Reading's last ever meeting on Sunday (when the Racer's greatest ever rider won't even be there) then you perhaps some of you may objectively appreciate the reason why the BSPA awarded this meeting to Poole.    who was available - this is nothing to do with the promotion - get a grip - you are blatently slating the Reading promotion  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want t blame anyone blame the BSPA they are the ones that sanctioned it. Matt Ford is only doing what all good promoters should be doing instead of sitting on their ar$es.

Â That article in the Star was completely wrong. I have known about this meeting at Poole since the begining of the month when Poole got the nod. Wasn't much of a battle seeing Poole were the sole club who applied to run it. Â I can understand frustration but you are aiming it at the wrong people. Â Its a one year deal and Newport might get it back in 2010 if they are up and running. Â But they don't have a god given right to run it anyway.

star Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Butu here's the problem. No one wanted to run it at newport. Reading through the Newport thread in the PL section, it seems someone asked the Reading promoters to run it at Newport, but they obviously didn't want to otherwise they would have applied. All this libellous BS about Matt ford applying for the meeting before Tim Stone had been buried is garbage and the writer knows that as well. Posts like that are just set in inflame rather than look at the situation sensibly and logically. Big bad Poole trample over the small fry clubs. Not true is it? All Matt Ford has done is make sure the event continues whilst Newport find a new owner and once they are back up and running, the chances are it will return there.   Wheredid you get that CR&P from - can you quote the post from the Newport Pl thread please   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
