Recommended Posts

Thought Matt felt the way forward was the likes of Screen, Stonhewer and Piszcz . :wink:

 

 

 

You forgot Eriksson... :unsure:

Also when did he confirm this, cannot find it anywhere? :unsure:

 

Confirmed in todays echo. Looking forward to this, just hope a line up with top class riders is put on show.

Excellent news. There used to be some great individual meetings years ago. Brandonopolis, Silver PLume, Internationale, Blue Riband, Spring Classic etc.

 

Hopefully the chance to see Emil at Poole again before he becomes a full time Pirate in 2010. :P

I'm sure Kramer is happy at Somerset thank you very much! :lol:

Always like this idea, because this meeting is going to see plenty of good young foreign riders on show who we will be building the team around next season.

 

Yes, great idea, take money that could be best used on BRITISH youngsters and give to the foreign riders

 

Why bother with these individual meetings, Ford has had a crap year and thinks he may as well put on a money spinning inidividual meeting and fleece all the mugs who can be bothered to go

Hmm, am wondering if the legacy of the barely believable decision to have no cut-off date for the bottom positions in the Elite and so Poole threatened with the relegation play-offs, may well have done for this proposed individual meeting... :unsure::cry:

 

According to Speedway Star this week Matt Ford has confirmed there will be no Blue Riband this year.

A combination of rider availability and some over-expectancy on the part of some of the Poole fans as to who should be compting seems to have done for it this year. Having said that, we have a very full month ahead with Buccs and Pirates fixtures (4 home meetings confirmed with up to 3 more with the NL KO Cup final, possibly the NL Play-Off Final and EL Relegation Play-Off) so I don't think it will be that much of a big miss.
