If Poole cannot afford PL how on earth can Kent, add to that their curfew on the finishing time, with the request to move the curfew to a later time and change of racing days refused during 2019.

Presumably somebody (Buster? ) has the money to make it happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From watching Darcy and Noddy to novice wobblers in the space of a few short years is 5hite in anyone’s book. I understand why financially but it doesn’t make it any more palatable. Think the crowd will take a bit of a knock as well. Sorry Steve, but I think you are wrong here. Three quarters of the Poole fans want this or have requested it, so I can't see the crowd going down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The survey asked would the fans support the team in the championship, not do they want to drop a division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
