Baldyman Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 And I bet it was ford that put forward 9 assessed averages cos it doesn't affect his team...but watch the rule change next year if it does affect him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 So Ford votes for the 1 over 8 only to dump on Kurtz, unlikely but anything's possible in speedway. I thought only the non-play off teams from last season voted for that rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tellboy Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I thought only the non-play off teams from last season voted for that rule? Does anyone on here really know who voted for what.I think people are just guessing what promoters voted for whichever rule changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 FB I think you may have mis-heard or misunderstood the comments in the video. He was talking about naming the first 4 riders in the 70thAnniversary meeting during the week and then the next 4 at fortnightly intervals. Brand values and brand awareness are much more than simply a new logo. PIRATES and POOLE are the brand and we all now look forward to see how they are marketed, promoted and publicised - especially through social media, the website a nd the traditional media methods. Partially right - but to have PIRATES POOLE on the new logo is not in line with the current brand no matter which way you look at it.

BWitcher Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 So it now seems that Ford is the driving force behind a new rule that any GP riders who didn't ride in the league last year will be re-assessed at 9. Who does that effect? Zagar.. Pawlicki.. Kildemand.. Ah yes. That's Poole's three biggest rivals again. Got to hand it to him, once again he pulls the strings to ensure his club are up the top... but once again taking the sport down with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVEHOLS54 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 ame="Arthur Fry" post="3064209" timestamp="1511892747"] Substitute would for the word in bold above and it is more accurate Speedway is not much different to some other sports who have had success. Take Football - Man U fans loved Ferguson while most other teams fans either hated or disliked the guy. You will always have those that like the guy and some who hate Ford. The important thing is that near enough all Poole fans and Supporters think he is the best Promoter in the modern age of Speedway Promotion. That's all that really matters to those who like the Club. Others can, and on this forum certainly do voice their opinion. His success over the last 10 plus years is unmatched. His team selection other than what happened in the last 2 years has been good with plenty of young and exciting riders having ridden for the club. Even Ferguson didn't win the league every year, but judge Ford on Poole's long term performance and what he has brought to the club. Just have to accept that many not associated to the club will not like him for whatever reason they deem fit, which wont list here as one can only smile and admire his long term record and even today what he is trying to do to keep the club one step head of the others. If he could get say Woryna at 4.65 GSA then good luck to the guy for having the foresight to sign him so early as certainly no other club made the effort to go and sign him. Of course some will scream and shout UNFAIR but that's just typical of people envious of a promoter having made a proactive move. If it backfires and he gets higher so be it as still a decent signing despite the fact he has NO experience other than as a young 20 year old in his first season on UK tracks where like a lot of young guys be it a Brit or a foreigner he was learning the ropes. Who knows how he will ride UK tracks again. Cant help also thinking that maybe had he signed for say a Somerset/Rye House or Leicester, then chances are little to no noise would be made as those clubs would not be viewed as serious title contenders. Anyway the snipers wont stop and all Poole fans can do is let them have their Forum moment if it makes them feel better. Fords record of success at the club is all that matters as well as the supporters who turn up to see the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 You have to have little to no knowledge of the sport to not realise why Ford is disliked and its certainly not for the success of his team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 You have to have little to no knowledge of the sport to not realise why Ford is disliked and its certainly not for the success of his team.

Mattfordfan Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 So, tell us all why Matt is disliked ? He isn't. They are just jealous because our promoter knows what is best for British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 You have to have little to no knowledge of the sport to not realise why Ford is disliked and its certainly not for the success of his team. It is partly the success of the team and partly pushing the rules. But others must have voted for it, I can't see Leicester doing that as i thought they were going for Dudek and Vaculik in the same team? Of course others voted for it. Its just people trying to have a go at Matt Ford again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
