Arthur54 1,302 Posted October 18, 2019 1 hour ago, DC2 said: Agreed, but the standard of teams is poor, and how many Poole fans thought they might keep Josh G, Klindt, Holder and Kurtz, or be welcoming back Chris Holder, Freddie Jacobsen, Magic or Madsen when the truth is none of those will be anywhere near a CL team next season. You try and pick an attractive CL team. I'm sure what ever team Poole put together, it will be challenging for honours , it's what matt demands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its what the club as a whole demand You can be sure us dropping down will turn a few heads, and have the Championship promotions running for cover. We wont be going down to make up the numbers thats for sure.. Edited October 18, 2019 by Starman2006 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he did he wouldn't be doing this. For a lot of Pole fans, I'm sure competing to be the 8th best side in the country isn't their idea of honours. I apreciate they had a problem with the sponsor this year, but if he still had enthusiasm for the club he would be out and about trying to get a new sponsor rather than doing this. I think it's a terrible thing to do considering the success Poole fans are used to. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problems of sponsorship were not the only issue - it was also a 20% drop in attendances (40-50% for TV meetings) due to the enforced change of race night. The current list of club sponsors are all on board with the proposed changes and I expect further companies to join once the new co-promoters finally know what can be offered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why did attendances drop 20% just because you raced on a Thursday rather than a Wednesday? Please explain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just factual. Doesn't bother me what day they ride. I gets me season pass whatever out of my pension, which guarantees my grandstand seat and will continue to do so. If every club could fix every reason why fans stop going then speedway might be saved. Undoubtedly there can be different reasons for different clubs.
