    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    No when people resort to posting what I have they are p*ssed off with the anti Poole venom that spouts from certain posters mouths...........yours included...........if you don't like what I have to say it is not my problem it is yours for being one of the most vindictive and aggressive anti Poole posters I have ever come across in my time on here................ Like I said if you do not like what I post that is not my problem.............you need to grow up a bit........... RP

    Chris Holder Sky Interview

    Oh dear oh dear................. Everyone knows that Aussies will tell it as it is...............does it ever occur to any of you that Chris Holder may just be right................the sport in this country is lagging behind the times.................and we need to move with the times............... Oh but of course he is a Poole rider so that makes him wrong............oh dearie me forgot that................. The whole sport needs to move with the times.........we are way behind Poland, Sweden and for that matter even the Australians in how we bring the next generation of riders through...................that is why we are lagging behind so much at international level................... We need to be in the 21st century but the BSPA/SCB want to live in the past in the hey day of the 1970's and 80's.............until they start moving forward and looking at the real world the sport is going to decay even further than it is now..............

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    No worse than some of the other promoters.................especially ones who cannot keep their mouths shut and spout off crap about Poole...........Matt has tried to drag the sport into the 21st century with some of his ideas but they have been thrown out because the sport is still living in the past............and people complain that the sport is lagging behind the rest of Europe in particular yet when ideas to move with the times are put forward its a NIMBY attitude from those on the committee............a lot of promoters could learn how to run their team as a business from Matt...........instead of sitting on their backsides waiting for the world to come to them..............and its funny how some of you are still slating Poole yet there are other more pressing issues that need to be looked into like the New National Stadium.............why are you not slagging them off.............oh of course it is nothing to do with Poole that is why....................(for the record I do have views on what is going on with that but if I post them I will only get slated again) Some clubs actually get better crowds now than they did but the reason crowds are dropping has nothing to do with Matt Ford or Poole..........the reason crowds are dropping is the costs involved and people simply cannot afford to go as much as they would like to because it is a choice of speedway or put food on the table................its about getting your priorities right..................I cannot go every week because I a) work shift patterns and it is not cost effective..........I cannot afford £75 per meeting it would cost for us to go as a family so I have no option but to pick and choose my meetings.............its not ideal by any stretch of the imagination but its a fact of life...............not all of us on the south coast are rolling in money..............something has to give somewhere..............and sadly for a lot of people its the sport they love that goes by the board................

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    Did I mention Mark Loram?????????? no so get your facts right..................I have always said that the press cannot be 100% reliable............. Blue tints?????????? I see things for what they are and say it as it is..............if you don't like it not my problem........... And what they are is that you and others are bending the truth to suit your purpose which is not just detrimental to Poole but borderline slanderous in some cases..................you take every opportunity to slag off Poole but I have never slagged another club off in 40 years of following the sport.............and I do not intend to start now............there are some promoters out there which I do not like but I do not go round posting anything that could be defined as borderline slanderous..............

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    I find it very amusing that some people are coming out with stuff that unless they were a party to the conversations between Matt Ford and the people who were involved in person have nothing to base their so called facts on............. No team is perfect but you seem to like to rip Poole apart............ The items in the press which I would have read at the time mean nothing...........we all know that the press bend the truth to suit their purpose...........its a pity some so called fans like to do the same.............. There are two in particular that have posted stuff which in no way is factual..................and tantamount to libel.............unless you were involved in the conversations between Matt Ford and the parties involved then you know nothing............I doubt that those involved have ever spoken to Matt direct about these allegations............and would not have the guts to question him either.............so either put up or shut up............ Some people need to put their own teams in order before trying to knock ours down............ RP

    As if we do not remember all these headlines being local but then again you know how the press like to twist and turn things as much as anyone............. You must have an interest in Poole or you would not have gone back through the Echo archives to find all this crap................ Yes there have been times when Matt has done things that have angered other promoters but then other promoters have done things in the past that have probably angered him too..............I think the current venom being spouted by Havvy who for the record is I believe still a Poole asset because why else would he have his Farewell meeting there is worse than a lot of the things that Matt has come out with.............. We do not cheat...........we use the rules to their best advantage............and at least riders who ride for Poole know they will get paid..........is Hans still waiting on money from Coventry does anyone know............

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    Why would he want to see every club shut down...........that is not what the article says at all.............what he is saying is basically that the clubs start on a level playing field yet some are better managed and put together better teams than others................ RP

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    Classic example and ironically it was against Poole was when Belle Vue faked the burst water main because some of their riders could not get back from Poland............funny how a picture of Matej Zagar in his Manchester Hotel room was posted on FB shortly after............. Like I said they use the rules to their best advantage so now tell me why that is cheating............. RP

    Lakeside V Poole Ela. 8/04/16

    Uncalled for comment................. Holder has been ok til last night.......... RP

    Matt Ford - No Sympathy

    So tell me this then...........why is it when Poole allegedly break the rules all hell breaks loose yet its acceptable for other clubs to do it................ Poole use the rules to their best advantage rather than break them..............other clubs could do but do not appear to............we can put out a good team year after year and people still complain even when they have done nothing wrong........... I think Matt is right in the sense that ALL promoters have the same level playing field to start with.............some take more advantage of what they can do than others who just sit on their backside expecting the world to come to them.......other teams could have come in with offers for any of the riders we signed this year but did not............ Having one league will never work...........it did not before and will not now..........what is needed is for the BSPA to start thinking in the here and now and not live in the past as they seem to.............

    Edinburgh Vs Berwick Fri 8th

    Hang on..................did I read an admission that Glasgow will win at Edinburgh next week there.................. Oh wait...............its one of Blobby's predictions so anything is possible............ RP

    Lakeside V Poole Ela. 8/04/16

    To be fair it does not bother me if we win or lose.............having followed Poole through the good and the bad times and believe me some of them were very bad for the last 40 years it would not bother me if we never won another league title.............its a nice thing to do but its not the be all and end all............... Lakeside with Kelvin Tatum on board I think are going to give a few people a surprise..........would not be surprised if they make the play offs............ RP

    Lakeside V Poole Ela. 8/04/16

    Well done Lakeside..............I had it down as within 10 points either way............... Shame that Chris and Davey had off nights..............I know Davey has a lot going on but I would have thought both would have scored more............but now is not the time to be talking team changes............ Its only our third league match and you cannot make changes based on 3 matches...............Chris has had good meetings up til last night but from what I recall he is not a fan of the Lakeside track................ RP
  22. I was in Weymouth on Tuesday................shame there is no racing there at the moment but there is a group trying to revive the track........... First attempt to share with the football club failed...........they are now looking at a couple of possible other sites........... RP

    Kyle Newman

    I thought that they both could..............there has been a lot of questions over that I know but the way it came across both could move up and down though not necessarily at the same time............. RP
  24. There was an announcement about that on the Speedway GB website last week.......does not surprise me in the least........ RP
  25. To be fair Poole always get good crowds.............even in the dark days of the early 80's we had good crowds.............they may dip off a little if we have a bad year but not by as much as has been implied................ Hopefully there this week.................and I think its going to be closer than most people think.............Lakeside early in the season is usually close and could go one way or the other............. A win for us but only by about 10 points.................... RP
