Scunthorpe, Redcar and Lydd have already run amateur meetings. Hopefully Scunny have shown what can be done. I feel more at risk in a supermarket than i did last Sunday.

Sweetman . as has been said no unban myths or conspiracy stories at. all the rules brought it was just anti cov and everyone could see that and the text messages that were sent just confirmed to me what was crystal clear . It was in the sense that when Coventry were down at the bottom it would have given them more chance to make the plays offs with Pawlicki riding, instead of being in Poland. Do try to concentrate. I am putting forward the argument that it was not deliberate rule manipulation by Coventry, you now seem to be saying it was. To be clear, are saying Coventry manipulated the rules or not ?

If you can keep winning with or without Pawlicki and make the play offs with him at reserve then its a perfect storm . little point in making plays off if you cant win them . Did Cov break any rules ? no Edited August 11, 2020 by orion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris4gillian Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I'm not Ford's biggest fan and certainly don't agree with some of the suspect antics he's carried out over the years, BUT he's now doing everything he can to save Poole Speedway. So no matter who you are or what you think give the guy some credit. Losing our beloved team would be a huge loss, not only to me personally but to UK speedway. We've lost enough teams in recent years for goodness sake!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example I asked whether you n thought Coventry manipulated the rules and you replied that they didnt break them which obviously not the same thing as manipulating them. Anyway Cityrebel who I like and Phillip Rising are saying its all in the past now so we wont bore them any more and move on.

cityrebel Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Speedway as a 'professional' sport has produced so many farces over years, it would make a great soap opera. Having no team to support helps me deal with this. I've had plenty of disappointments with the sport, i am now battle hardened to it. I still enjoy the racing and the social side of it, Scunthorpe on Sunday was a perfect example of this. Speedway isn't worth taking too seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noaksey Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 The good thing is that Ford will work very hard to try and ensure the Pirates survive otherwise any hope that one day he can sell them (might be a long shot anyway these days) will be gone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clemens Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Reading the thread it's like a de ja vu unfolding. You feel you have read all these words before. The situation unfolds in an inevitable manner has it has done regarding other clubs that have ceased to exist, despite each clubs 'certainty', it won't happen this time around. Let's hope it doesn't happen this time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 On 10 August 2020 at 4:44 PM, Dave Jones said: I think EIA needs a reminder of what was going on around that time.Ford was unhappy that Coventry had managed to keep Shamek at reserve for so long, IMO they used the very same criteria that Ford himself used many times (ie they played Ford at his own game)and he didn't like it .Pawlicki's 16 +1 did for Poole on the second leg meeting and Ford reacted by taking in his firework display, turning off the hot water to the visitors shower room & removing the Champagne from the bar area. Hardly the reaction expected from a mature person. Then came the sudden rapidly arranged meeting by a select few who connived a change in the conversion factor for lower league riders moving up, effectively screwing up bees deals for two riders already in place. I've seen comments that the teams shouldn't be selected before the AGM but we all know that it was the accepted way of doing things for years ,and probably stilll is now. We also had the re assessment of Pawlicki's average, another very unfair decision. Despite all the protests to the contrary it seems blatantly obvious that Ford was the Prime Mover in all that went on in the winter of discontent, & to add insult to injury he then proceded to register Kildemand as a poole rider whilst the bees were in the middle of a team shuffle mid season 2011. Kildemand went public and stated that he had no knowledge of his transfer to Poole as he hadn't even spoken to Ford. But it did have the desired effect as it stopped Coventry using him again.Those are just some of the moves of a very underhanded & bitter man. Wasn't Ford also having an affair with the admin lady at the BSPA at the time as well? I recall a new account was set up on the forum which spilled all the beans over the episode but was quickly removed by the moderators as it didn't paint Ford or the sport in a good light.

No. There was a rumour involving two speedway administrators, but Ford was not one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
