ouch 1,191 Posted June 15, 2019 Just hoping the track is good enough for the lads to perform flat out as previously, this season even when taking it easy it’s claimed a few victims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are up with the dearest for a family( top prices for u16's). Best supported in the league, and still loosing money so Ford said.

waytogo28 2,054 Posted June 16, 2019 Did he spend the PILE he made when crowds were much more substantial? Whatever he did with it, he clearly did not re-invest much of it in Poole Speedway especially the track. "Love the sport" is the cry of all the current promoters - I don't think so! Short termist, grab the cash ( when there is some ) and run. They cannot be losing hand over fist as some claim, no-one would do that for more than a season. You would sell up for 30 bob ( £1.50 for the younger members ) just to get rid of the debt liability. Do you really expect us to believe that they truly feel that the UK sport can be turned around and have few spaces on the terraces. Not going to happen under the "forward thinking - more of the same please" BSPA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broadcasting these events from an empty stadium shows the sport in a bad light. Surely the promoters want the casual viewer to think that Speedway is still popular in this country. A big crowd might encourage a few people to return to the sport, or some newbies to give it a try. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul666 2 Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hi guys. Sorry for bothering you all. Trying to get hold of the Poole fan I met at the Prague GP last night. He helped out Darren who was showing us around the pits. We were on the roof together. I got the stuff you lent him back after you had gone. If he sees this can he send me an email and I will post the stuff back to you (afraid I got back more than we lent out). Paul (a cheetahs fan).
