Forgive me if incorrect but that is exactly how your post reads. I have supported Peterborough for many years, most began with little success (apart from 4TT with home advantage). Then finally after the Hawkins era we became winners, NL and PL. Memories that will stay with me forever, even if the bulldozers eventually move in. Poole have had tough times but found success and a legacy of success. I’ve not always agreed with rule manipulation but it’s been going on long before Poole. Slightly off topic, you are going to love young Benjamin Basso next season, very exciting on track, and very good off track with the fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now and always. Win or lose. Another great post to strengthen respect for the Pirates. You might have took time to construct such a humorous post, but unfortunately discovery of a new COVID variant would be funnier. Your win or lose reference is interesting. The latter is alien to Poole at the moment and when things do dip (at some point they will, it’s called life) I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Poole posters on this forum disappear (perhaps change sports and big up Man Utd when they come good again). I may not support Poole but I do respect the shrewdness of Fat Maud and the way he operates. Unfortunately the continued arrogance of some Pirates posters is creating a time bomb for other posters to have a field day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have my reservations regarding full throttle newby’s. How many times have we said a race is 4 laps then in the fence after 2. Made a big difference to Poole once he settled. Really can’t predict how he will go. Will need to start well with Oyster easing himself back on such an average. Sheffield look the team to beat in my opinion.

Yes we had a rivalry but the sport needs that. I am very sad it has gone. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gloating when they win and bad mouthing when they loose Who exactly reacted happly to the demise of the Bees ? You really are a sad person if that's what you want to happen. It also makes you know different from the so called Poole fans you alleged were gloating when Brandon closed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
