Obviously companies can change there ways. And they probably have. But I wonder if Ford would have been associated about if he knew. Or if he did they must have give Ford an offer he couldn't refuse Considering the current family-run No.1 UK Carpet Cleaners in Christchurch wasn't incorporated til 2014, I find that difficult to believe!! Maybe you should delete your post as at the very least its defamatory!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted February 7, 2019 There have been plenty of rogues involved in running speedway over the years ( and there seem to be now ). One of the perennial problems in speedway is the secretive nature of any information released to supporters. It would be very easy for the current company to identify itself as previously NOT being the one under the Rogue Traders spotlight. Why leave the possibility open that they might have been? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted February 12, 2019 Poole P&P day finally confirmed for Thursday 4th April at 1.30pm for media, sponsors and season ticket holders. 3pm for general public when the riders can take to the track. (Not allowed track time before 3pm due to being next to a school!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems a good idea as several of the "Poole Posters" wouldn't be able to attend if the practise was held during school hours. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway this 'Poole Poster' will be there from 1.30pm (probably a bit earlier in fact!! ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted February 14, 2019 Incidentally a great turn-out last night for the latest Poole Supporters (R.E.F.) Quiznight. 17 teams taking part but modesty prevents me from naming the winners. During the evening the R.E.F. Committee - ably led by Stan and Val Vatcher - were commended for their fund-raising efforts on behalf of the riders since 2002. It was announced that over £67,000 has been raised and presented to Poole riders during this time. The next R.E.F. night will be a Fans Forum on Weds 20th March involving Matt and the new promoters plus some riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidently, anybody seen or read any reacent posts from Steve Shovlar, ? he's not been to any of the REF functions nor has he been seen on here for quite some time. I hope he's just gone quiet, as its quite concerning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
