    Big Meeting At Poole

    You know what they say about too many Cooks?...

    Big Meeting At Poole

    Well said, Sue. This is exactly the point. It's just some people will moan about anything without having any substance whatsoever. I'm going to the meeting to enjoy what I believe will be a brilliant speedway meeting. If it means the Poole management will profit as a result then good luck to them. I'm fed up with seeing half hearted Elite League Riders' Championships. This is the real deal.

    Big Meeting At Poole

    Do us all a favour and go and invade another sports forum - but preferably not speedway. I'm sure I have seen you on television before. It's called interference...

    Big Meeting At Poole

    Because if you read DC's posting he suggests that Matt Ford is struggling to get any interest in this meeting and so gets on the phone to Jason Crump and pleads with him to speak to the paper and make a story about how big it is going to be. Total nonsense. I'm all for promoting. There's not nearly enough of it these days, but this meeting sells itself.

    Big Meeting At Poole

    Er? I think you must have been deep in hibernation. Without question, this will be probably the biggest meeting in Britain (apart from the British GP at Cardiff) in 2008. Do you honestly think Matt Ford would want Jason Crump to build it up? Get real. The fact is Jason Crump WANTS to win £60,000 and is honest enough to admit it. That's the magic of this meeting. That's why I'll be travelling all the way from Yorkshire to go and watch. For once it will be an individual meeting where ALL the riders will be going for it. There will be no pulling out at the last moment, with "illness" or a "dodgy bike" because that £60,000 prize will be like pound signs in their eyes. I'll only travel that sort of distance if I think it's worth it. Without doubt, this is going to be an incredible spectacle and I'll have no qualms making the journey. I actually think admission is quite reasonable in the circumstances. To suggest Matt Ford is trying to get riders to big it up is pathetic. The meeting promotes itself. The riders want to win it. The place will be packed. Go back and hide under your stone.

    Rosco Your Country Needs You.

    Give yourselves a pat on the back. You'll drive the best bloke out of the job. I wouldn't blame him at all if he walked away especially after reading the drivel on this thread. Roscoe, Chris Morton, David Norris, Gary Havelock ... they won't handle a candle to Middleditch, a million miles better than them all. Ask yourselves: what could any of the above have done better with the riders at his disposal tonight. Zilch, nothing. Sometimes, I despair. Let's pick on the easy target. Why not Chris Harris. Where was his Millennium form tonight? He ran rings round Nicki Pedersen, Bjarne and Jason three weeks ago. Or are you going to pick on him once Middlo has walked off into the sunset? Always look at the alternatives before kicking the man in charge. You'll all be sorry mark my words.
  7. Rabs - I agree with you once again. If I lived near Poole and not in Doncaster I would be at that meeting like a shot. Some great young riders who you know will give 100 per cent and the Poole management have reduced admission to £10. There's some right miserable supporters about, that's all I can say. The line-ups look good and pretty even. Disappointed I'm not on holiday in Dorset until mid August.

    Dave Jessup In Next Issue

    Er...yes CS. Did realise it wasn't ACTUALLY him answering the questions. Simply asked if anyone remembered it. Didn't expect sarcastic replies accusing me of some cheese having slipped off my cracker. Remind me CS: you are the one who thinks Millard is quite good.... have you ever heard of ghost commentators...

    I remember Dave Jessup having a column in Speedway Star called DJ requests, when you asked a mind-boggling speedway question and he would answer it. Does anyone else remember that?

    Tony Rickardsson's Final Lap - Sweden

    One ride was too much as far as I'm concerned. He stated he was going to rest the "injured" leg for the rest of the season and yet five days after his club Poole went out of the Knock Out Cup semi-final without him, he's back in his kevlars again in a knockabout meeting. To quote Andy Millman from BBC's Extras: "He's having a laugh. Is he having a laugh!" Yes, at British speedway's expense, no less.

    Tony Rickardsson's Final Lap - Sweden

    I think it's the final straw if he rides tonight in Sweden. I never thought I would say this, but Ian Thomas summed him up saying he was a disgrace in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks ago. I think the FIM should step in and ban the guy from speedway for a couple of years. He has duped the British public throughout 2006 with his "tiredness", "illness" and now "leg injury". Lindback should be used as an example to stop others picking and choosing in years to come. By stopping him riding full stop, he might understand how his serious his actions have been this year. If he is contractually committed to these clubs, he should fulfil the fixtures. If not, why sign it at the start of the season. To carry on letting Poole down and embarrassing their supporters has just been unbelievable - and I don't even support Pirates. Rickardsson, Jonsson and now Lindback. Picking and choosing when they want to ride in Britain. How many more next year. It's got to stop and NOW.

    Malcom Simmons

    How refreshing that Malcolm Simmons has taken time out to read and comment on the BSF at a time when so many clubs seem to want to knock the anonamous writers on this website. We are the fans and perhaps our views should be taken on board not criticsed out of hand. Well done, Super Simmo, I hope your book sells well.

    Middlo Is Another Sven

    ...I think Middleditch has done a wonderful job as national manager and should be congratulated, not knocked. The difference between Eriksson and Middleditch is that Eriksson had the pick of some of the finest players in the world and failed to make them gel as a team in the world cup. Compare that with Middleditch who has had to work with limited resources and very few up and coming Brits. Its a miracle he's managed to steer the team into the final four for as long as he has. He picked Louis for the final - and it didnt work. So he tried everything. If you asked all the British riders Im sure they are happy with Middleditch in charge. Lets leave him alone and pat him on the back for a job well done. To help GB ahead of Australia, Poland and Ameria in this years world cup is an excellent achievement when you consider how few Brit riders he has to select from in the Elite League. All the criticism and he will knock it on the head and then you will have someone inferior. Get off his back.
