    Trolling is defined as 'the act of leaving an insulting message on the internet in order to annoy someone'

    Not sure how you think 'playing along with a troll' isn't insulting or annoying to them. Was leaving an emoji of a clown, for instance, a nice thing to do?

     

    The clown emoji is well within forum rules.

    You seem to have a bee in your bonnet that Poole have a number of folk that troll on here, well I've yet to see much evidence of that even though many Poole supporters are subject to it daily.

    Now back to topic, COME ON THE PIRATES :cheers:

    Since you specified you don't have any trolls, I assume you agree with the other part of my sentence Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense 

    So you're saying Poole attracts sad people and it's these folk (not Poole supporters) that spout nonsense, yes?  If so you've provided evidence right there that Poole supporters do not troll.

    So thank you for agreeing with me.

    I'm not going to name names on here, they know who they are.....but one person I can name is yourself. You've even admitted doing it in the past.... how's that for proving you wrong?

     

    That is a load of utter tripe.  Never, ever have I trolled or said that I have.  Let's see this fictitious evidence...oh that's right, we can't as it doesn't exist!

    I await your apology ya :icon_smile_clown:

    Hmmmm, not sure you can claim that. You know all the constant gloating is a form of trolling right? While I agree Poole are probably the most trolled club, there are certain individuals that bring that on. I can't deny Poole's success is impressive, but there are quite a few fans who like to make sure everybody knows about it.... a lot.

    I can and have claimed it.  We certainly don't have a Trackrat or a phillipsr at Poole, two posters who just troll Poole for the sake of it!

    Who do you suggest is a Poole troll?  Nothing wrong in being a passionate supporter defending one's club (and themselves) when required.

    'Most' Glasgow fans don't bother with speedway forums. There's probably less than 30 on this one and yes some of them would rather watch good exciting racing than win trophies. The majority of Glasgow fans are like most fans they want to see their team win at home. The difference at Glasgow is that they also get good exciting racing as a bonus. Most fans also realise that not every team can win trophies and teams that win  trophies don't always attract big crowds. The Ford's model works for Poole and they are very good at it. For example, they signed  and kept 2 of the best gaters in the league who are also apparently very good at  manipulating their averages. Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense and who enjoy trolling, 

    We don't have any trolls at Poole.  We may have one or two odd posters, but I've never witnessed any trolling from us like the trolling we receive!

    Poole is without doubt the most trolled club in speedway.  Success obviously breeds contempt.

    Personally I prefer to block the major trollers as I refuse to give them airtime, however fellow Pirates supporters are free to do as they wish and respond to whom they wish.  That's the whole point of a forum my dear fellow.

    You got to love Poole threads because their fans talk absolute crap it makes for great reading 

    Shovlar …. Says that Glasgow has a team of gaters and couldn’t race ….. thick or trolling??

    Poole have a team of gaters hence last night they led after 20yds and Glasgow weren’t good enough on an absolute shocker of a track to try and pass and let’s be fair Glasgow were poor

    The track just leads to poor poor racing and yes Poole get decent crowds because they are doing well the fans don’t care about the racing …. It’s well known the Poole fans disappear when their team struggles 

    At Ipswich we know we don’t have a great track and doesn’t lead to great racing we just have Emil and Doyle which is great when they miss the gate 

    Why Poole fans can’t acknowledge their track is crap is what leads to their threads being the longest on here 

    The track isn't crap at all.  I've been going to Poole for over 30 years and have witnessed countless classic meetings.   I will admit that it's currently not as good as it has been, but it's certainly not crap.  Our boys cope with it very well and so do most other visiting teams.  Yes they may lose, but they don't endlessly bang on and on about the track.  Last night the Tigers were just woeful.  Couldn't gate, couldn't race, couldn't do anything.  End of.  Therefore they got a good tonking.

    Oh and not all Poole supporters go missing when we have a poor season :nono:  I have supported them through the good and not so good times and I will continue to do so as long as thery exist....which I sincerely hope is for many years to come :t:

    Yes we were crap because we could'nt gate. We knew this going into it but came out worse than ever. This time last year we had Ostergaard who made us respectable by gating and by default winning races, despite not being the fastest of riders no one could pass him.

    I'll disagree about Lawson & Worrall revelling in the outside dirt, they revelled in the 20 yard dash to turn 1. On the one occasion Lawson didn't gate quickest he couldn't get near Basso over the remaining 3.5 laps despite Basso also not looking the fastest. It is what it is, Glasgow aren't a bad team but can't blame anyone else, it wasn't a mystery what the track was going to be like.

     

     

    He couldn't get near Basso because Basso placed his bike on the edge of the dirt.... the dirt which apparently doesn't exist at Poole.  Basso is no slouch and knows our track.  That's the reason why Lawson couldn't 'get near him'.

    Isn't it funny that all those moaning and whining about how 'bad' the Poole track was are Tigers supporters.  One awful rut on bend 1 which was swiftly sorted is no excuse for such a poor display.

    Just admit it guys, your lot were just cr@p.  That's the real reason why you lost so badly.  There was plenty of dirt around the outside, but none of your lot fancied it.  Lawson and Worrall revelled in it.

    Well done the Pirates, that's how to do it :t:

    Oh and well done Ace P, a great effort from a young Brit/Scot/Dutch :D

    Having worked for BCP Council (which is now under a new administration) for over 16 years, I have some understanding of how the forward-planning for major schemes works.
     BCP have inherited from the previous administration a 'Local Plan' for the 'regeneration of Poole Town Centre', which currently does NOT mention Poole Stadium at all - except for an earlier suggestion about building on the part of Wimborne Road which backs onto the Stadium Lorry Park.

    Also there is no developer proposal lodged with the Council's Planning department, quite apart from no agreed sale of the whole Stadium site!!  Such an agreement and proposal would be subject to a huge public consultation for which there would be considerable objections

    IMO even if all those objections were to be overcome and any stadium development for housing were to proceed, it would take a minimum of several years to reach fruition.  

    I work for a local council and have dealings with the Planning team and I concur with the above :t:  If anything, I'd say 'several years' is possibly a little optimistic.
