Team Gb V Team Australia Test Match - 1st August 2012.


Recommended Posts

 

Not controversial at all. I reckon I speak for millions of Englishmen. Nothing wrong with Murray being a Scot, but to say "anyone but England", was enough to alienate himself from many English, and his demeanor is dull as dishwater. One of the most boring sportsmen in the UK.

 

You weren't the journalist who got this remark from Murray by any chance were you Steve? just you appear to have put the same little spin that he did at the time. I have a feeling you know the reason Murray said ABE and the manner in which it was said..

 

But hey never let the truth get in the way of a good spin (winks with invisible emoticon as i appear to have none now lol)

Oh come off it, Holder and Ward excel at most tracks so it doesn't matter if it's in Poole or where, the worst thing about it being in Poole is it's bloody 6 hours drive away from me :( Come on Buster, can we have one

 

Strewth Mother T! You ARE on the warpath on this and other threads this morning! :shock::wink:

Well - I am certainly not a great Supporter of Matt Ford. I do not agree with a number of the things that he has done. However - it must be remembered that Mr. Ford is first and foremost a Speedway Promotor, he is there to Promote Speedway. He has seen a chance to put on a big Meeting, a Test Match between England and Australia and has grabbed the opportunity with both hands. He is a Businessman and he knows that putting on a Meeting like this will pull in Supporters from all over the Country. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who rides for each Team - it is ENGLAND v AUSTRALIA - that is always a battle.

 

Mr. Ford is doing what a lot of other Promotors should be doing - Promoting his Track/Business. More strength to his elbow. What we need is more Promotors to follow his example in this particular instance. What we should not be doing is criticising Mr. Ford for doing his job, and in this case, doing it well.

Poole team boss and GB manager Neil Middleditch added: “Great Britain and Australia Tests are legendary in sport and they remain, in my opinion, the most prestigious in speedway.

 

 

Well Middlo is talking crap here....how on earth are Great Britain and Australia Tests legendary????It is England and Australia Tests that are prestigious,both in speedway and other sports.There is a long tradition of England v Australia....what sort of tradition is there with GB v Australia?Not one i have noticed

Should be interesting...obviously England would have had more of an advantage at Brandon, with Harris Nicholls Kennett Roynon. The Aussies with Holder Ward Watt Bratch Doylo will be favourites at Poole, but anything can happen as England won last time there. Woffy King Auty Bridger Barker Worrall(if fit) and hopefully Steady will be in the squad with the Cov quartet.
