The reason why we remained with r/r for so long and our replacement was low key on the cheap. I really believe Matt saying the club was up for sale affected attendances. A lack of enthusiasm from the top filtered down to the fans. Well, if Ford can’t be bothered, why should the fans? A watered down league, not enough clubs for variation, the success of AFCB 5 miles up the road and it’s not difficult to see why crowds dipped. The best solution could well be one big league. Variation of opposition would help ease the issue of lesser quality teams. I understand that a sponsor not paying is massive for any club. I just wanted to understand if enough promotion was being done? Swindon for example use insta, Twitter & the local paper for promotional work. Lee Kilby goes to local schools, fates etc to promote the club. When we were on TV against Pboror it was 2 adults for £20....Posters are put around the town etc Edited October 16, 2019 by hyabb17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Doyle won't like it but tough, the league is more than one rider. What on earth are you on about? Doyle won't like what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted October 16, 2019 Surely Poole's falling attendances has loads to do with the track. Despite the denials of a few it was clearly rubbish and why would you pay £18 to watch speedway on that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massive sign on side of A338. On the side of United taxis (think they still do that). Didn't they have a sign on one of the roundabouts in Poole, not sure if they still do it now though.
