dave69 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Now Newport are back I`m sure Poole would like to help out the new promotion by handing over the January licence so the NYC can be run to bring some funds in ,thus helping British speedway.Or maybe they just think of themselves.

cometsfan2k4 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Good idea, one which would certainly satisfy alot of fans on here, but cant see Poole giving it up that easily somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am sure the new Newport promotion can apply for it next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Run the meeting the last weekend in December and apply for the December license. No need for more swiping at Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect they will,in the meantime could the moderators run a poll to see if the board members think we should have it in Jan 09. Should be fun.

rabbit Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Fun? For whom? Seems like just an attempt to stir up further bad feeling. I'm delighted that Newport are back, I truly am, but this constant niggling isn't doing anyone any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we`d have to call it the Old Year Classic then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, stop stirring things and causing more trouble for the team you claim to support. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't think steve is the one trying to cause trouble. Dave69 knows poole won't give the meeting back, think he's the one trying to cause trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackie Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 A meeting the last weekend in December would be good and no need to worry about returning to work the next day as will be the case for many people with the Poole meeting.

I'm delighted that Newport are back, I truly am, but this constant niggling isn't doing anyone any favours. But Just imagine Rabbit-a few short months ago it appeared Newport had no hope-and now they do-No New year classic at the time apparent so Poole stepped in to run a meeting in January for the fans.What a wonderful gesture that was at the time-however,now Newport are running again,above speedway politics if the guys from Poole would hand it back to Newport now they are confirmed as racing again on this occasion do you not think it might be a good idea??--Would be wonderful if they could find it in their hearts to do so imo and the guys at Newport could run it and make it happen. Business aside,but speedway wise would be a wonderful gesture to the newcomers from one of Britains most succesfull teams now that the underdogs are declared as running again when a few short weeks ago it seemed they were dead and buried.

Blazeaway Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Apply for the Feb licence. More time to get yourselves sorted, run it the first weekend in Feb. Can just about get away with calling it the NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Apply for the Feb licence. Telford already have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 It isn't going to happen and now Newport have a new promotion they will have to bid for it the same as every other club I should imagine. Whilst the NYC was Tim Stone's baby, it has little to nothing to do with the new Newport promotion and now any club has the right to put in a sealed bid to run it. Personally I believe it should be shared around, with a different club running the event every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowmix Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 yep now it's a good money spinner, lets stuff the club who established the meeting in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Poole have rescued the event for 2009, I would like to see another club run it in 2010 and then pass it on to another club the year after. One club shouldn't have sole rights over the meeting.
