Gavan 5,050 Posted October 7, 2014 I like what I like and like what is factual! And the FACT is Pooles track was an embarrassment last night as mentioned by decent Poole fans! Or are they all wrong as well??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,364 Posted October 7, 2014 I wasn't at Swindon last night but from what I saw on twitter it looked to me very much as though they had just moved the greyhound track covers onto the speedway track. If that's the case then the "speedway" track covers should have been available for Poole to use unless these are the same covers and Ronnie the Spiv is renting them back to the Swindon greyhound people Swindon used the "BSPA" track covers. There were pictures and a description of what was done on the trackstaff's blog. It seems that there is only one set of these covers. Swindon didn't use the plastic sheeting from the greyhound track. It was said at the meeting that without these covers the match at Swindon would have been cancelled. Poole didn't have these covers so Poole was cancelled. It all seems to make sense to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,274 Posted October 7, 2014 It could have been a gate and go bore fest even without the weather - it could have been bone dry and slick. Why say its a shame for the home fans - clearly it was brilliant for the visiting fans. Swindon, a supposedly very strong team, have only got themselves to blame - not the weather or the track. PS: postponed, not cancelled (as in suspended, not banned). And that's supposed to take place on the first bend at Wimborne Road! It's ashame for them because of the 'racing' that was served up and the vast majority of those fans who stumped up the money to watch it live would be home team fans, thought that would be obvious. British speedway needs all the paying fans it can get to survive and for some that may have been one of the few meetings they'd been to - will they go again? Any fan of speedway should be able to realise that the meeting was dire and would not attract casual fans to watch again on TV either. Thanks also for the rather childish correction when I wrote 'cancelled' instead of 'postponed' - and actually it's p.s. as in postscript, not PS: as in whatever....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,672 Posted October 7, 2014 Let's hope the track is being repaired today seeing as they're having a reasonable day weather wise and the track covers are on there way down south. If none of those are under way questions need to be asked asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,356 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) and your point is? The fact is Swindon busted a gut to get the meeting on and obviously have track staff that can prepare a track. Poole did not bust a gut or have incompetent track staff. Uninformed lol Sorry did you need to be there!! I watched it on tv and listened to the riders. Nobody is saying it shouldnt have been cancelled due to safety (didnt listen to Middlo i turn the sound off when he opens his mouth) What EVERYONE is saying that it was piss poor preparation from a so called big club. If the club and Matt Ford are as successful as we are supposed to believe then surely he should have the right staff / equipment to guarantee the meeting went ahead. Its not hard to suspect Pooles promotion were not to bothered if it did or didnt. But yes its my hatred of all things Poole and not what was actually in front of our eyes. Now that beyond doubt PROVES you are a Troll Gavan, there was no need for you or anybody else to comment on Skidders post, which is totally correct. You just cannot stop yourself from pulling the club to pieces on vertually every post that is put up. You are totally clueless, and you have a massive chip and obsession with this club, mainly through jealousy. You claim to be an Ipswich fan, so go back to your league and spout your guff on their, but i doubt you are any clubs fan, you are just an out and out Troll who clearly is a sad individual who has nothing else to do with his time. You cite me and Steve as being Trolls wind up merchants or whatever, but you are far and away head and shoulders above us when it come to drivel on this forum. Do us all a favour will you. CLEAR OFF. We are sick and tired of your remarks and rambllings. You are everything Speedway doesn't need right now. Edited October 7, 2014 by Starman2006 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
