Poole 2017

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.

 

Also imagine Lakeside will want him if they ride next season in Premier League.

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

matt is entitled to his opinion on how british speedway is run same as any other promoter i am afraid he may have accept changes he may not like

You cited Matt, what about Wolves and Swindon as you said. So what do you want, a PL style EL ?

That's what it is now only with less teams!

Not quite. There is still quite a jump to the EL from the PL.

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?

 

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.

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.

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.

 

The SS said they were releasing some AGM details this PM.

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

kurtz has a 9.22 prem average , how can ellis revert to his pl average he rode elite in 2016 and doesn't have a prem average from 2016 so has to use his 2016 average x 1.4 (he's been well and truly shafted) he was crazy not doing premier and its come back to bite him on the bum
