scottyfan 824 Posted July 12, 2019 Heard a rumour the reason Matt Ford won’t run the meeting is because he can’t charge £20 admission!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted July 12, 2019 Kings Lynn are charging £8 on Sunday with children free and £2 for programme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a total lack of interest in British speedway the owners of Poole have shown. How you can even defend this is beyond me as it’s one of the very reasons the sport is on its knees. Not defending it. I think if Poole committed to a round they should make sure that obligation is fulfilled. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chapman could actually open the gates for free and not lose money, other than peoples time and running costs, fuel, electric etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted July 12, 2019 Would have thought that all money taken would be under what it will cost to run the meeting don't know but would have thought the riders would get some help in expenses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No point Poole running a meeting when the team are at Swindon. We normally take a lot of fans to Blunsdon and being top of the league will no doubt bring a couple of hundred fans along. Those would miss the kids meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford has been good for Poole, because it was making him money. Now it ain't he don't want to know. I think he threatened to pull out if it went to one league, not so long ago. Now he can't sell the club, so he wants it. Do me a favour Edited July 12, 2019 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
