Of course it matters! The second question was all about the race night, Matt said many wanted Weds night. He has seen all the emails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and Shov are in the minority, that's why CL has been applied for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedtiger 327 Posted October 17, 2019 It’s a brave move by MF but also clearly a desperate one with the club losing a serious lump of cash....it could be the last roll of the dice. I hope it pays off but no guarantee it will. Don’t think it will be the only bit of big news in the coming weeks!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R87 476 Posted October 17, 2019 5 hours ago, Odds On said: another nail in the so called top tier of British speedway, arguably one if not the best away supported teams in the league. This whole situation sums up the whole "fly by the seat of their pants" attitude of British speedway. If Poole drop down, the BSPA will scramble and try and coax some teams up from the Championship to make the numbers. While they continue to desperately prop up the league. Its short-term, quick fixes all the time, which you can only get away with for so long 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Poor old Middlo. He gets his benefit meeting the same year as Ford takes the club down a level with smaller crowds. Middlo is always getting shafted Edited October 17, 2019 by semion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

89buttons 759 Posted October 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Clearly the near £40,000 shortfall from losing the main sponsor had a serious affect in finances. Add to that no money from TV and BT wanting to show us at every opportunity also added to the attendances. We were moaning a couple of seasons ago about there being only 9 teams. The league should never have run with 7. A change should have been made last winter. It will be a very sad day if Middlo is calling it quits. Best manager the club has ever had and impossible to replace a speedway man with a wealth of experience. It was £20000 the other day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
