Now c’mon Steve, there is a bar at Gosford, in fact there are two temporary
ones, but this just goes to show how difficult it has been for Terry Poole
to stage a professional show there. He has been hamstrung by the
Showground Trust in every aspect. Trust me, I know, I’ve been with Terry
since before Gosford opened and I am very aware of the the difficulties he
has had to endure. A weaker man would not have survived. When you are
dealing with members of a Trust and a group of council aldermen (who had no
knowledge of speedway) you are up against a brick wall. Fortunately the
council came on side despite issuing heaps of rules and regulations but the
Trust and the Greyhound people NEVER made life easy for Terry and quite
frankly it was an embarressment at times to host international meetings
there. Add these problems to those created by MA and MNSW and you can only
admire Terry Poole for surviving. I sincerely hope David Tapp is
successful because I would hate to see Gosford close because of the
dedication of a great bunch of people who have been associated with the
track for the past 8 years. It’s going to be a very, very sad day on June
11th.

Subject: Grass Track Off
Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 11:14:41 +0100
The Grass Track scheduled for Ugly, nr Stanstead, Essex on Sunday is
off. Not sure of reason as I was left a message but probably due to a
waterlogged track as the Dunmow club events are usually well supported.
That's 5 out of 5 meetings lost so far.
This is bad news for club riders and the sport in general in the Eastern
Centre. Why get a licence and have money tied up in bikes & equipment if
there are no meetings? I seriously fear for the long term future of the
sport in this area. The number of riders, clubs running meetings, fields
available, continue to diminish and it's hard to see how the trend will
reverse. Let's hope everyone can be patient and look forward to the
British Championships @ High Easter on June 18. The next scheduled
centre meeting is the Woodbridge clubs on July 8 (Sat).

I agree with you Jan, from what i have heard and seen of Terry he has had
his back up against it for some time and the dedication shown by him and the
loyal bunch of workers, officials and even the average Joe Speedway fan
sitting on that wet, grassy knoll on turns 3 and 4 who pay their gate fee
month in and month out regardless of the venue conditions. They just to want
see some top flight speedway at the only accessible multi purpose 360 meter
bike venue for Speedway devotees on the central coast, Sydney and outer
areas, bar other smaller bike tracks, Where else are you going to go.....
Parramatta and watch Sprint cars???....know thanks (no disrespect to Dave
Lander).
Steve, has put up some valid points though and only time will tell if the
proposed improvements are going to enhance Gosford. Though i think he was
only pointing out some of Gosford's short comings to Thilo, who asked the
question if a G.P. round was going to be staged there,wouldnt that be a
lovely thought!!!. (though i think i am looking thru rose coloured glasses
at that prospect).
I think though alot of Tapp's regular band of knockers and hecklers should
adopt a "lets wait and see posture" for a change and instead of jumping the
gun as usual and rubbishing his plans, he may just pull the "rabbit out of
the hat" yet. I hope he does not for his sake, but for the speedway and all
those involved.
I think he knows the depth of emotion involved with the venue and if he is
as shrewd and savvy as a promoter as he has been a entrepreneur, i then i
would think it is not just a case of big promises and high expectations on
his behalf for Gosford.
Anyway we shall see, I wonder how he is going to deal with the various
bodies that made life hell for Terry?. Whilst June 11th will be a day of
high emotion and sadness, i think alot of people will reflect back and
remember the good times and be thankful that Gosford had Terry at the helm
for all those years.

Subject: overseas final
Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2000 22:03:51 +1000
The riders list for the 2000 Overseas final has been released and their is 4
Australian riders with a real chance of progression through to the
Intercontinental Final. The winner of that meeting progresses automatically
to the G.P. for 2001, whilst the other qualified riders go through to the
final stage of qualification the toughest of them all, The G.P. Challenge
held in Lonigo, Italy later this year.
1. David Howe
2. Nathan Murray
3. Paul Hurry
4. Mark Lemon
5. Sean Wilson
6. Mike Faria
7. Scott Nicholls
8. Josh Larsen
9. Jason Lyons
10. Sam Ermolenko
11. Lee Richardson
12. John Cook
13. Craig Watson
14. Steve Johnston
15. Shaun Tacey
16. Martin Dugard
At a look, one would have to say that the Aussie band should all qualify
going on current form. But Craig Watson who is returning from serious injury
could struggle. He has been practising at Newport in recent weeks in
preparation and what he may lack in fitness he may get through on his
natural skill alone. Out of the Englishmen, Martin Dugard has been in
sparkling form for his Yang Eastbourne Eagles and he could do a "Stoney"
this year and go all the way. Scott Nicholls, Lee Richardson and perhaps
Sean Wilson should be specials as well to progress. Out of the Americans,
Sudden Sam Ermolenko and Josh Larson could force their way through. A
sentimental favourite, Sam Ermolenko at 40 would be a popular fans choice to
force his way back to G.P. qualification status.
This years meeting should prove to be another cracker event as usual as the
European speedway calendar starts to really swing into action with the
G.P.'s already underway and the world under 21 final, World Team Cup Finals,
Golden Helmet and G.P. Qualifiers to come, a spectacular feast of topflight
speedway for fans across Europe and the rest of the Speedway world is
assured.
