But it does not take into account the reduced revenue from no TV money, lower crowds, lower entrance fees, less sponsorship and less advertising. Poole will just be chasing more losses. That's how I see it tbh. Hence the doubts I have of it happening.. Mind you Matt is a lot cleverer than me, business wise, I guess Edited November 12, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't think Ford will be any better off. Just my opinion, hope i'm wrong with the money side,and it works out well if it happens.

Crabba59 156 Posted November 12, 2019 Matt Ford will be a lot better off 50k TV money will only cover 5 meetings in premiership so work it out 25 percent savings in championship bet his crowd will not go down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shock horror Poole have gone bust because DC2 says so!! What an idiotic post. If you are so concerned with Poole's future you might try reading all the reasons Poole lost money last year. They are well documented even for those on some sort of twisted wind up. Terry Russell has already changed his 2020 budget several times to try to find ways of replacing the income from 2 lost Poole home meetings Edited November 12, 2019 by Skidder1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
