DC2 Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Now I’m not a big fan of Matt Ford but this quote from the Bournemouth Echo takes the biscuit: “The situation with Chris Holder has damaged us severely, especially when the club has assets like Hans Andersen and Kenneth Bjerre at Leicester, Troy Batchelor at Swindon and Krzysztof Kasprzak at Rye House. Clearly, these riders would have been a great help to us at this point and yet they have not been available due to the rules and regulations.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t Ford have included at least one of those assets instead of Sundstrom and did he expect the others to sit around, waiting for Poole injuries, rather than sign for other clubs? Could he have included club asset Ellis Perks instead of Szzzzpaniak? A selfish, spoilt attitude! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 How do the contracts work in speedway, is it like football where when a player (rider) is loaned out, the parent club approves the loan? However no sympathy, there was issues with Holder at the end of last season anyway, so it's his own fault for risking a spot on Holder.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Poole own the registrations - the use of the term asset is a misnomer It simply gives them first chance to offer the rider a contract for the season and to collect a loan fee if they dont This is exactly what Ford gas done so cant see why he is whinging An 'asset' just waiting around to be used may well expect a retainer (possibly £50k+ each) As Poole cant see the value in racesuits I dont expect Ford would fancy the retainer situation too much! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Not sure if Batch would want to ride at Poole, anyway how is he a Poole "asset"? Was this because he was a so called "asset" of Peterborough and was sold to Poole along with most of the Peterborough riders and what say did the riders have. Have they ever been paid anything by Matt or the owner of Peterborough for being sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PHILIPRISING Posted June 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 ASSETS are a nonsense. Unless a rider is under contract he should be free to go wherever he pleases. Works everywhere else. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i agree to moan about assets like Hans riding elsewhere when he could have used them its his own fault for not using them. Crazy not using Hans. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs are not loyal to riders they are treated as jockeys.. I personally dont wholely agree with it, but, in this day and age its all about averages. and if you want to win anything, you have to be competitive. Simple as that. Same as football clubs have to keep improving there squads, otherwise you just go backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nowadays its getting harder with the big boys pretty much calling it a day in this country.. I mean, we took your lot to two points, so it doesnt really say a lot for your team, does it..

Valid points about the big boys calling it a day here...however Ford was whinging about assets already riding here. You reap what you sow... very apt in this situation i would say. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
