So once Ford goes, he goes to save face and gain unworthy legendary status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will go because there working relationship has been so good over a long period it will never be quite the same with another party.Ford/ Middleditch have been great for Poole speedway and it will be a hard act to follow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they finish top and we bottom you might have a point but it would be better to stop worrying and see what results the actual speedway racing brings before jumping to conclusions.

Middlo will have a very worth legendary status, they are a team who have worked very well together over a very long period of time and deserve all the credit they get. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ford and Middleditch have achieved a lot and done an outstanding job for Poole. It is understandable that after working closely together for so many years that Middleditch may not want to continue when Ford leaves.

HGould Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 If every team was as well and professionally run as Poole the sport would not be in the mess it has got itself in to. Matt Ford would have made the perfect long term supremo of British speedway about a decade ago, build a 10 year plan, sadly won't happen now. The question is - who and where are the guys with a vision and a plan to take British Speedway forwards with the Business head and Speedway heart Ford has.?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more to do with Birmingham making an offer Poole found hard to refuse as Birmingham need assets on their retained rider list which is a bit bare from memory and will save Brum from forking out money to BSPA to make it up to required £15,000. They have a nice asset and he will get better and better and they will get a loan feetoo from Swindon. Excellent work from Dave Mason.

Gavan Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Be nice if Middlo went and managed another club and see if he can be successful without firstly Fords money and without changing large numbers of riders throughout the season. If he can do it at another club then maybe he can be mentioned in the same breath as Rosco and Adams.....until then he will only ever be seen as a good manager rather than a great one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had the best financial backing over the years at Poole and has been able to change riders as and when Poole need to. In my opinion Rosco and Adams have proved they can do it at other clubs with less resources. Lets see how Middlo can do at a different club is all im saying. Poole fans will quite rightly feel he is the best because he has managed their club but i think any manager could have managed Poole..............he was awful as Team GB boss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
