Starman2006 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 It’s funny when the Poole fans say “it’s not our fault, all the promoters make the decisions” or “Matt Ford is just more astute” Many years ago Belle Vue signed Jason Lyons after a particularly bad year with Poole. He came to us on a nice low EL average and to complete the team we had local lad Ricky Ashworth lined up. We were then told we couldn’t fit Ricky in as the average Jason needed to use was his PL converted average and not his most recent EL figure. Ricky then went to Poole “enjoying” a 500mile plus round trip for home meetings. At the time a video clip came on the web of a pre-season fans meeting at Poole with Matt Ford and Terry Russell on the panel. The Ricky/Jason situation was mentioned and with laughter all round Russell said perhaps he should have known the rules better. The he in question was Ian Thomas, a man who throughout his involvement with the sport knew the rule book backwards. The ruling had been made it was just a little slow in getting around to everybody. T his is by no means the only occasion for such “shenanigans”, anybody remember when Matt Ford was astute in his signing of Peter Kildermand? All promoters are created equal, it’s just some are more equal than others. How many weeks and sheets of paper did to take for you to put that together.. Hope you didn't forget to do your homework first though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BV offered him more money than us apparently. Riders and Sandhu probably get most of the admission/food and drink money to be honest.I'll go if I can give it straight to them!
