Looking back through the Speedway Stars , (Published on 23rd Nov 2017) when reporting on the AGM, it read: ' it appears Matt Ford was the instigator of having Wednesdays as a fixed race night, instead of Thursdays, and every team voted to comply. That's all except Swindon. They have been given permission to run half their meetings on Thursdays in 2018....' I am more likely to believe the S/S, than those fans who can see no wrong in anything connected with Poole Speedway... I thought Ford was more astute than that, seeing the bigger picture, but it appears he is no different than the rest. Buster once said after becoming Chairman, it was his intention to make the sport open and transparent. Seems we are still waiting for that to happen.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Did Matt propose Weds once the Championship teams said they couldn't/wouldn't run on nights other than Thursdays though, that's how committee meetings work..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get in power you do as you think fit , in the way you prefer and end up just like those who went before you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn`t lying when i said that Poole licensed officials lied to SCB officials over the absence of Kasprzak in the Good Friday meetings against Somerset- April 2017 you might remember this thread Edited June 8, 2018 by racers and royals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Whats that got to do with anything? More old rubbish to throw? It really is pathetic. As for the meeting, let’s hope the weather stays dry and we can actually see some racing and a Poole win to close up on a playoff place.

Woz01 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 To be honest they should've kept it Mondays and Thursday and just told Ipswich and Redcar that if they want to name d/u riders then they don't get priority. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) They did have to get a new track curator - not something to be done overnight. Not sure who it is but today was the earliest he could make himself and the equipment available. Edited June 8, 2018 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 They have no other track staff to even make a start on the track in the meantime?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
