Jonny the spud 2,281 Posted January 2, 2014 Stop moaning, and go and find them... They won't come to you.. Wow. Those 100+ letters , phone calls , emails and discussions must have been a figment of my imagination. Tell me, what's it like to be perfect ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kester 3,036 Posted January 2, 2014 Wow. Those 100+ letters , phone calls , emails and discussions must have been a figment of my imagination. Tell me, what's it like to be perfect ? You're getting it all wrong. Just say you're from Poole speedway, they have all the best sponsors who are quite literally falling over themselves to throw money at the club. At least that's what a couple of posters on here are always telling us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least that's what a couple of posters on here are always telling us. Quite right, in one of the most attractive places in Britain and it is a wonderful area.But what are they're real competition?Poole FC ( doing well) and Bournemouth Fc that's it i would be worried if they can't attract support.I am not Knocking Ford as he is one hell of a promoter but if we are honest Ford only worries about himself. And not the overall picture of British speedway a win at ALL COSTS mentality nothing else matters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the gauling thing is, he goes find the sponsorship, he doesn't sit on his backside waiting for the phone to ring, and he looks after his sponsors very well, He also signs good riders, and finds good riders, we also have a very well run club, from the bottom to the top, that does help.. But he is also ruthless. He's a very good businessman and promoter.. We also have a very good Team Manager, who is highly respected by many riders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColinMills 1,728 Posted January 2, 2014 I am no ford fan, I just admire what he has achieved..who wudda brought greg hancock in with the wage he clearly commands..what promoters would of taken that gamble? winning equals sponsorship---larger crowds---more sky air time.---.trophies----atmosphere in stadium---bigger crowd attendance to any track they visit----which mean bigger income for YOUR club 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm on the point of giving up with you lot on here! I pose a question that I hoped would provoke some interest at the start of a new year and it sure did by soon developing, as I might have anticipated I suppose, into yet another would-be battle between those intent on slagging Poole off versus those determined to defend Poole to the hilt, both sets effectively saying "blow everything and everyone else!" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
