E I Addio Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) 'Nobody is singling out Matt Ford on that front'?? Really?? Are you serious? You've only got to read some of the posts on the last couple of pages of this thread, let alone the others!! Also, just as a matter of interest, whilst I agree all promoters have their own 'local situations', the knack of being a GOOD promoter is to create a management team around you with a range of skills, business sense and experience to cover the majority of eventualities! In addition to the current Poole promotion, I also know and have worked with promoters (past and present) at 3 other tracks, so maybe I might have a little more knowledge and experience about what happens (has happened) at some other tracks, than just Poole. Finally about 'no other clubs getting thread after thread of criticism' - I seem to recall the Panthers, Robins, and Belle Vue promotions all coming in for some stick earlier in the season - some valid, some not, imo, but with Poole it does seem that EVERY thread has the same/similar comments from the same/similar posters whether it is relevant to the topic of that thread or not! As I said a few days ago to Gavan, if he hates MF that much then start a thread specific to that topic rather than repeat the same stuff over and over across all Poole threads. EDITED - ...and as if by magic, post#171 illustrates my point exactly!! Read my post again. Unless I have missed an odd post or two I don't think anyone has said that Matt Ford as a BSPA member is anymore responsible for the collective shortcomings of the BSPA than any other promoter, the criticism of Ford is pretty much restricted to the way he runs Poole. I don't think many would disagree with that proposition. If you look at my post again the bit about telling us how poor the other promoters are was in specific reply to Steve Shovlar as he is the one that continually peddles the line about Matt Ford being the greatest thing since sliced bread while at the same time complaining bitterly (and childishly) when people like Gavan put up the other side of the coin. It his clear from his posts that he knows very little about what goes on behind the scenes in terms of the way a club is run so his comments really have to be seen as an attempt to destroy sensible and informed debate. He is not the only one but he is a serious culprit. In short. people who don't like taking it shouldn't dish it out. Finally, my post that you referred to did get a "like" from The Know so I guess it struck a chord somewhere. Fair play to him for that Edited October 13, 2013 by E I Addio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBee Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Never seen such a one sided final. When I saw the final originallyI I thought it could have gone either way but Birmingham have been abysmal as a team over the two legs. Congratulations Poole.

Mackhammer Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Obviously Screamer edited his post.... Anybody who says we have won it thats their perogative, but i will tell you now, not Matt Neil any of our riders, or any Poole fan will not think that way untill its done. Our boys will still go to perry barr with a job to do, and Neil will be im sure making the riders aware of there responabillities. Nothing, will be taken for granted... Bull!

And to think we've got to watch that in next years GP's. I thought it would be impossible to have anyone else worse than Dryml in the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
