dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Surely Poole cant flop again this season? The Holders, Kurtz, Gomolski, Newman, Shanes and Woryna should all put at least a point on their averages.What if less than half that list are at Poole 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I rest my case then! So all the reports suggesting he had said it was Matt was a load of rubbish and some on here well out of line. It's pretty obvious it was a majority vote and it's clear that Swindon and Wolves were in the minority. One would assume the aces the 3rd. It may be obvious to suggest that Poole and this year's bottom 4 promoters voted in favour of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Matt Ford offering a deal to Magic for the number one berth in 2018? I doubt Ford would have voted for one over 8 when it messed up his team building plans.

I thought the Aces (new promoters) weren't allowed to vote?! Even if they were and it was 4-4 then the Chairman would have a casting vote (remind me again who the Chairman is????) :wink: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just like appeared to happen with Eastbourne on several occasions, I suspect Chapman or Somerset said “One 8 pointer or we’re out, take it or leave it”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattfordfan Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 So you would suggest 4/4 split vote with the benefit given to the 4 weakest? can't see that IMHO. BV wasn't allowed to vote. It was 4-3 in favour of yes. Poole, Swindon and Wolves voted NO. Read or listen to the promoters comments. Matt Ford, Rosco and CVS not happy with the ruling. Somerset are potless without a TV deal so they cant afford top riders. Should have stayed in the Championship tbh. Leicester already had a No.1 so the rule didn't effect them. Hardly any top rider would ride for KL unless they was desperate. R. Lambert will and then they are banking on Doyle otherwise they will not get a No.1 and would probably end up with Thorssell unless K. Bjerre or NKI can get around the Poles and sort out there Danish contracts. Rye House will go with Harris, Nicholls and Kasprzak as a top 3 imo. Apparently they already signed riders before the AGM so the management would've known which team they wanted. No plans to sign an out and out No.1 imo. Matt Ford was more than happy to let Swindon sign Doyle and Morris. Likewise at Wolves regarding Lindgren and Thorssell. Just blaming Poole again as per usual.

So all the reports suggesting he had said it was Matt was a load of rubbish and some on here well out of line. Ford the instigator of last season's gp riders being given 9 point averages according to CVS. Looks like it was directly aimed at wolves and belle Vue - pawlicki, woffy, Zafar all on sub 8 average or would have been...

Of course Ford can say he was against it, of course he can vote no in full safe knowledge the vote would go the other way. That's called being clever, which Ford most certainly is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
