If Matt put a good side together which he will fans would still turn up , sponsorship would still be there. Ok, no BT, but is that really a loss ? Slightly reduced admission for the fans, maybe. Still have the play off's and final. Personally i think Weds is good but Friday would be better. Anybody who remembers the National league of the 80's will know it wasnt so bad. You will never get the big boys back here permanantly, the costs are out of bounds. League should be run April to Sept, play off's in Sept done. None of this dragging them right into October when we all know it will rain. But the powers that be need to take the blinkers off and take the ear plugs out and listen to the fans. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted October 14, 2019 Friday would be the best day for me from a selfish point of view! i'm sure 90% of Poole fans will want Weds though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thecoombdog 2,367 Posted October 14, 2019 As a Swindon fan, I would be disappointed to see Poole drop down. Yes they are a bunch of cheating f*ckers (!!!!) but the best meetings and biggest crowds at Swindon are normally when they are at Blunsdon so we would miss them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted October 14, 2019 Putting insults ribbing and banter aside Poole have set the benchmark for the upper tier and it would be a great shame and very hard to get used to it they drop down but it could also open up a big can of worms as other PL tracks may think if they are going then perhaps so should we! Could end up a Buster mini league or 3tt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You lay into me about calling people weird but nothing about someone talking about a stadium being on fire? Kinda makes it look like you think it's okay otherwise surely anyone would say it's out of order. Excuse me ? You wrote this "I'm not sure I would want to meet anyone who thinks it is okay to talk about a stadium being on fire" That's a little different from the rather back-peddling reply above. So are you saying that a person has to lay into every previous post on the thread before posting themselves ? Just admit you got the wrong person in a frankly borderline defamatory accusation there regarding arson. oh and @foreverblue i'm a reading fan, so how is that not neutral ?

TheMessiahOfTheBSF 84 Posted October 14, 2019 Sounding like Poole are dropping down. Go along and support your team. Times like this is when they need you the most. Some fans don't have a club to support at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent racing from riders who just seemed to want to entertain themselves and the fans!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
