Crazy robin Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 With Lakeside dropping out of the EL, now's the time for Ford to buy Ellis's contract before someone else nips in. Can't see Adam going anywhere else but Poole if they want him so can't see the point of buying him outright. Â Also imagine Lakeside will want him if they ride next season in Premier League.

GWC Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 In one corner you have Poole Wolves maybe Swindon wanting a stronger EL in the other is the rest who want it weaker. Already lost Lakeside so where does this send a message to ......... Mr Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Â That's what it is now only with less teams! Not quite. There is still quite a jump to the EL from the PL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluTiger Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Not quite. There is still quite a jump to the EL from the PL. I would say it's more like a hop these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Matt Ford says he doesn't want a weaker EL far from it, wants it stronger by attracting top names back. Is he just making a play for his own business or does he see it as being the saving of Speedway in the UK? Â I started going before MF probably ever thought of the sport and my overwhelming desire is to see it survive and live within its means and not put copious amounts of cash into the pockets of riders who seem to have little time for the EL. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole may well be the only team to be able to afford it.If that's the case it will only benefit Poole.There would be a big gap between the richest club and the rest.Poole might get bigger crowds if they field top riders,but it wont do them no good if they haven't got an Elite league to ride in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I'm sure there will be some sort of compromise. While Ford and Middlo get right up my nose, we need a succesful team like Poole as an example of how to run a speedway club, and a bunch of teams that can compete. By that your going to have to have 8 teams who think they've got a chance, which means lower average or limited to one heatleader or whatever.

MrMungo Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 so poole get newman on his prem average , but fords big assets have become worthless crazy stuff With Newman, Kurtz's and Ellis (who I presume retains his old PL average) all on attractive averages, he's not done too bad of it although I suspect it's not the AGM he was hoping for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
