I also have some sympathy for Neil given the issues with his original testimonial. But if we are going to have testimonials (other than for riders) then why not start having them for fans? If the fans don't think Middlo is deserving I guess they won't support it and he won't make any money. Has it only been granted because of the loss of revenue from the first one?

Has it only been granted because of the loss of revenue from the first one? When Middlo had his previous money nicked by the Reg Fearman promotion, he left speedway altogether and didn't even visit as a fan until the likes of Joe Screen and Steve Johnston were staying with him at Baillie House and enticed him back. Matt Ford took over later and asked Neil to become team manager and promised to hold a benefit meeting for him while he still owned the club. Its not a 'testimonial' as such, its a 'benefit' meeting proposed by Matt Ford (first mentioned at the recent fan forum to unanimous applause) which I'm sure will be well supported by riders, fans and sponsors - and rightly so.

Bagpuss Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I’m not really fussed either way about Middleditch but like Chris Harris and all the grief he got for his Go Fund Me idea it’s entirely up to people whether they get involved or not, nobody is forcing anybody nor should anyone be made to feel good or bad whatever they decide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a longtime fan and then a long serving team manager should he have an extra chance of getting one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Not a big fan of Middlo....dont think he is a great manager to be fair and his comments on social media are plain daft at times But you cant deny he is Poole through and through and dedicates himself If Poole want to run a meeting for him thats up to them and so be it. Dont think you will get fans of other clubs being bothered to come and see it though but thats there choice....will be a bit of a Poole love in. Has the greatest manager in Peter Adams had a benefit meeting for all he has done for a variety of clubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put in for my testimonial meeting now then, August 1949 and never missed a season ( or part of one ) of The Stars since then. Man and boy ( and now dinosaur ) at Norwich and King's Lynn. Is there a form I need to fill in? Please let them decide quickly or the older of us who might be eligible may pass away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 have a feeling it will be very well supported not necessarily because everyone is a middlo fan but think it will be a high class field with some of our favourite riders returning for a one off spin,eg love to see magic again,even nikki p would be agreat draw! (hope they dont go silly and charge 20 quid or more,perhaps under 16s free!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I still can't get my head round the fact that middlo is sponsored, as per his tweet thanking all of them, mind you Poole appear on TV more than most other teams so they obviously get plenty of coverage for their money. quite wrongly I assumed the names on his shirt, cap etc were team logos not his own personal sponsors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simply down to the owner (CVS) as to whether they wish to give him a benefit - as it was down to Matt Ford to grant one for Middlo.
