poole keith

Kerr wasn't that happy,said he hit a hole in ht15 and threw his chain off !!

pretty much agree pinny, also the thinking would have been that cairns would score big enough that it wouldnt matter to much what the other reserve did in their three rides,and of course cairns may still very well do that,(need to keep him at reserve come play offs!)

And they'll know that however they perform will always get the full support of the fans----oh hang on!!

Totally agree,but I can't believe poole promoters and major sponsors didn't know the right people,but it's all in the past so let's enjoy every meeting

Correct clive,but you must agree its a shame that Poole speedway never done anything to secure its long term future,cmon mate you must concede that point haha

Where is it where my statement is not fact alan

I said it was speedways own fault,no comment on any particular promotion, could extend it to say its british speedways own fault we've lost so many stadiums.I take a monthly steam magazine interesting article recently saying many british steam and vintage rallies were struggling financially due to higher costs particularly rents they compared it to USA and Australia where 30or 40 yrs ago they had a policy of using profits to purchase and develop there own showgrounds so now they are healthy and have no rent or landlords.british speedway (and some fans haha)always make excuses and blame someone or something else.Some Poole fans on here instinctively jump to defend the club in the face of the slightest criticism when this time they should surely agree it would be great to own or have a long lease on our own stadium and it's a shame someone didn't have the foresight to do this year's ago

Guessing 20 /25 years ago

That's the speedways own fault, the stadium was up for grabs a few years back they chose to go for the easier cheaper option and let Clarke Osborne take the stadium , do the required work then rent from him, no good whinging now,fact.

very good post,but does mean cynical old poole supporter ie me will say you should have picked better 2 pointers!! purely hypothetically,woudnt have happened mainly because of racenight ,if glasgow had managed to sign cairns you would now be championship favourites,so really the team was only one signing away from being champions(i am assuming the young dane will do ok)

best crowd of the season,good to see,lets not get carried away with the attendance figure mentioned on the forum that was a wild guess and wrong

I guarantee a lot of last nights crowd won't be back in a fortnight they will have gone home, but there will be a fresh set of holidaymakers in,lot of people commenting last night how busy the area is at present with visitors,great for poole speedway but they're definitely not avid speedway fans and certainly not poole fans

Glasgow great racetrack brilliant owners,but it's no good trying to put a sticking plaster over your teams problem,it's all down to terrible team building truly terrible,assume matt ford to be one of the best if not the best at putting a winning team together in either league he would have never ever had a team with two reserves so obviously poor as this Glasgow team,he would work on the elementary rule of one strong reserve.im hoping Glasgow can still somehow make a big challenge for honours, better for the league

Can't imagine insurance costs would be much cheaper,and can't imagine the poole landlord for example would take much reduction in rent,and like skids says would be real concerns about crowd levels,so can't see those type of meetings being an answer at all

Let's not everybody go overboard on Cairns performance on Wednesday,in the grand scheme of things it's not that important for the lad
