Poole Quay 7 616 Posted January 18, 2014 When you bypass the banter etc and contrary to what a few think of us (Poole) on here - we know the world of speedway doesn't revolve around Poole and without all the other teams there wouldn't be a team in Poole for us to support - so well done to all the teams mentioned, and those that haven't that are trying to ensure the future of British speedway and encourage the youngsters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,843 Posted January 18, 2014 This is a clever move by Ford, for whatever reason NL speedway is unsustainable at Poole and the stadium is unsuitable for training schools so he has decided to invest in arguably the best training set up in the UK and reap the rewards, probably prompted by the new draft system. FWIW I think we need more clear pathways for youngsters from NL to PL to EL. We have already seen a good relationship between Lynn & Newcastle with regard to the two Lewis' and it would be nice to think that more can be done by our authorities to get our riders opportunities abroad too. Of course the acid test is whether the riders who come through this kind of system are selected over the next hot young foreign prospect who comes available..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,663 Posted January 18, 2014 Great move initiated by MF. It will be very interesting to see this develop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,971 Posted January 18, 2014 Fair play to Matt Ford who has secured future success for all included in this initiative & whether it's mainly for Poole's benefit he's gone out & done it which has to be applauded. Just a shame the teenage girl from Bridport forgot the other clubs in the Elite League who already run a National League side though & what Lakeside were also doing.

E I Addio 15,862 Posted January 18, 2014 When you bypass the banter etc and contrary to what a few think of us (Poole) on here - we know the world of speedway doesn't revolve around Poole and without all the other teams there wouldn't be a team in Poole for us to support - so well done to all the teams mentioned, and those that haven't that are trying to ensure the future of British speedway and encourage the youngsters. That is true and to some extent it is also going to be a bit of an unbalanced playing field with some teams better placed to do some things than others, some better placed than others to sign certain riders, and some in a better position to attract larger crowds than others. For example nobody could have worked harder or put more money in to Peterborough than Rick Frost but it seems clear that whatever anyone does top league racing is just not going to be sustainable in that area. That's no reflection on the club or its fans. Its tragic that all the effort Gary Patchet put into Swindon only resulted in him losing a lot of money rather than getting big crowds back and getting near a break-even figure. Time for fans to stop some of the "my clubs better than your club" comments and recognise that all clubs need each other, all clubs want to win and whenever you have winners there will always be losers, but the bottom line is its all one sport and without losers there wouldn't be any winners. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebrum 6,835 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) No but others on here are very quick to jump on any rider Matt happens to pull out of the bag, and scream foul, whether rightly or wrongly.. At least you agree that no one is Poole bashing with regards Milik`s assessed averaged. Its just the usual blinkered view bluenoses. so much paranoia its laughable!! its not poole bashing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone is saying that Poole acted fairly with Milik and within the rules. we are also saying that based on Kurtz its not beyond the realms of possibility it could be reassessed! can you comprehend people????? The sensible Poole posters get it Gavan. King troll Shovlar and his band of hanger-ons Home Straight and PooleQuay/Internetman love to turn it into something it isnt in all instances. How long before some turnip, (probably with the initial SB) turns up accusing MF of nefarious motives? MF has played it by the book no one is accusing him of not doing so over Milik. You don't get that tho do you clearly. Edited January 18, 2014 by stevebrum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pay attention SB....We was talking about Poole's new link up with Scunthorpe Stags and other clubs projects....At no time have Home Straight or I ( Poole Quay 7) even mentioned Milik......But of course that wouldn't suit the agenda would it. As per usual, you give us a post full of ill thought-out nonsense, hypocrisy and Poole insults. And yet again, you have disrupted the flow of an interesting debate on a teams thread with back pedalling, petty one-liners that only you seem to find intelligent and in other embarrassing posts, silly one-liners that only you seem to find funny ....But of course, that's nothing new as many team threads have found out on this forum. Back on the ignore button for you and if nothing else - thanks for reconfirming why you are there. Edited January 18, 2014 by Poole Quay 7 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
home straight 290 Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) MF has played it by the book no one is accusing him of not doing so over Milik. You don't get that tho do you clearly. This should be fun. Stevey, could you point me in the direction of any post where I have said anything about Vaklav Milik? The sensible Poole posters get it Gavan. King troll Shovlar and his band of hanger-ons Home Straight and PooleQuay/Internetman love to turn it into something it isnt in all instances. You do make me laugh Steve. In what way am I a "hanger on" of Steve Shovlar? (Being a Poole fan who thinks you talk bollocks doesn't count, that's just a fact, just so you know....) We're all well aware that you like to wear your ignorance as a badge of honour, but now it seems you've taken leave of your senses altogether, We're not even talking about Milik........

Gavan 5,067 Posted January 18, 2014 Shovlar is the only Poole fan most of us have a problem with. The rest stick up for their team but can have a debate. Shovlar trolls plain and simple. If he doesnt like anything you are Poole bashing or he simply twists words to suit himself. I have praised Ford for the Milik signing as the rules quite clearly say he should be a 4. What i said was it could be changed re the Kurtz scenario but apparantly im anti poole saying that. Im sure decent Poole fans will agree the Poole track was poor in preparation last season. Nope thats anti-poole again. We say Darcy Ward didnt have as good a season as Tai Woffinden - anti poole. He is the reason a lot of you get tarred with the same brush He is the issue why a lot of you get tarred with the same brush. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is so difficult to work out what you and some of your fellow Pooleites are on about at the best of times. It was you that mentioned my name when you talking about the link up. The only discussion i have been having on this thread was in regards to the possibility of Milik being assessed because Brady already has been. For some reason you like to throw in a line that includes me on a subject i havent even made an opinion on. To be honest i can barely tell the difference between the 3 of yours posts at the best of times - you 3 all seem to follow a theme. Anyway finally now the nonesense that you started is out the out way i can at last comment on the link up between Poole and Scunthorpe. Its a great idea and what a savvy move that is. Scunthorpe have unearthed some gems to be stole by other clubs. MF has played a blinder in linking up with Scunthorpe. Feel free to have a rant against that opinion like you 3 usually do. I know i wont be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
