It most certainly should be but then pretty much every team thread gets derailed somewhere. It’s just the nature of this forum. I actually really rate this Poole team. It’s full of potential and whether it’s been done on a budget or not is immaterial because they’ve still managed a quality outfit. Not to derail or compare but it looks like the bv team to me. Both have stacks of potential and I think that is the way to win a league. Imo these 2 teams are the benchmark no matter how unpopular that opinion may be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just cant see whats in BVs line up that makes you think we're a benchmark?.... Far to many question marks ..In my opinion of course Regarding Poole , there's the making of a good team there,especially with Covatti at reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the Pirates sponsors is a company - Meridian Lifts. One of its senior employees has made his own personal views public on the issue of illegal immigration - he has tended to be quite outspoken on several issues in the past (no issue with that - everyone is entitled to their opinion) - some of them even Speedway-related!! PS. First round of the Aussie Championships tomorrow. Poole already have the Argentinian Champion so good luck Brady and Jack (and Chris of course) Edited January 2, 2019 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wanting immgraints in the country doesn't make you racist. If you think it is then you have a pretty ignorant view going on here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You aren't telling it how it is are you?It wasn't that he doesn't want immigrants in the country.It was the fact he said they (and it wasn’t about immigrants per se,but specifically illegal immigrants)should be drowned.Let a few die to put others off.Now that is right wing extremist rhetoric.That is what the Echo called him out on.If you can't understand that then that is pretty ignorant and as we have seen there are a few pretty ignorant people who think along those lines.The law is the law and as I have said,we have signed up to international agreements on how to deal with the situation and nowhere does that agreement advocate letting people die as a deterent It then becomes an image problem for Poole.Do they want to be associated with someone who has extremist views?It can damage the clubs image Edited January 3, 2019 by iris123 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
