bluebee 199 Posted August 6, 2020 If this isn't a warning to the BSPA then I don't know what is. I do feel much sympathy for the employees and for many decent Poole supporters but I can't say that I feel much for those who regarded the interests of Poole as the be all and all as far as speedway was concerned. Still, hope they do keep going as I fear that if Poole go then the avalanche will follow! It's getting to seem like ancient history when I went to a Bees v Pirate match.

Not sure what responsibility BSPL can have for a classic Landlord and Tenant issue?? By all means blame the BSPL for problems in their area of responsibility but this is strictly linked to a Stadium, The Council and the Landlords and Tenants and sub tenants 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not quite the same is it?! we're talking the whole stadium now not just the speedway. Lots of options for additional usage if you have 7 days a week including weekends without dogs.

Revert track back to the old style on the outside. training events at Poole. Of course after the school have finished. would enable Poole town to move back in. It would be a big area again. Concert venue in the stadium would be helpful. Poole doesn’t have one. with the use of the big area. You have options for car boot sales, drive in cinema. im sure some people could use the space.

therefused 819 Posted August 6, 2020 It is sad to see any club go, but I think I just have to look back and see the reaction of a select few poole fans when Coventry closed down and I have to admit I don’t feel at all sorry for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really? I don’t recall a single Poole fan or fan of any club happy with Coventry closing down. No speedway fan wants to see a club fold, regardless of being arch rivals or not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be ideal model for Poole to follow. Make the stadium a community hub. Poole stadium is perfectly placed to do that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
