Trackrat 444 Posted November 5, 2021 Hilarious Paul fans justifying the lower league as better than the premier league, didn't even have the lower league play off on TV, that's how much it matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,032 Posted November 5, 2021 Good to see Darcy got some footage of last night to watch at home in Aus. Also good to see some ex Poole riders supporting our win last night from Klindt and Freddie Jakobsen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Virtually the same riders and more teams. What’s not to like? Roll in 2022 and let’s do it all again. Fair play to you Steve for owning up to that. I just hope that something can be rescued from the Eastbourne / Kent situation next year otherwise it’s a sad story for speedway in the south east, non existent, and many supporters won’t return in future.

Noelinho 922 Posted November 5, 2021 Overall quality in the Championship is lower than the Premiership, but they’re not miles apart. I hope Poole stay. I certainly wouldn’t be keen on Glasgow going up. It’s nice having more teams to face off against. On Glasgow, a lot of people get fixated on the amount of money the Facennas have spent to “buy the trophy”. I’m sure they would dearly love to win it - why wouldn’t they? - it they aren’t spending money just to win it. They want to invest in the area. They want to expand attract new supporters. And they want a stadium/racetrack that can host meetings outside of the domestic league and individual championships - as having two Test matches and the Speedway GP qualifiers shows. I’m sure that’s a more complex mix of wanting to do a great job, forge a reputation for high standards, wanting to achieve success and have the satisfaction of having a local speedway team to watch. All good things. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to hear! A lot of love between Poole and Glasgow fans that attended last night. On twitter a few who work within the club saying how you are a credit to your club and how easy the Glasgow management are to deal with! A new experience, as in the Premiership everyone definitely hated us and would not attend our track very often! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We noticed the hatred against Poole and Poole fans when you were in premiership, but I have been to Poole for both Glasgow matches this season and found the fans to be lovely. Since the Facenna's took over Glasgow, we have became equally hated in the championship and get a lot of abuse from rival fans. Poole has been a welcome addition to the championship and as a lot of your fans are realising, the championship is the best league, see you next season 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its success envy mostly, if Poole stay in the championship again next year and do the double again that may well creep in again maybe? When my team Eastbourne we're in the Elite league with Poole, we never hated each other (well I didn't ) but it was so good to beat them at Arlington which we did more often than not even in your title winning seasons, different story at Poole obviously, but long for the day's of Nicki Pedersen winding up the crowd and being wound up by the Poole fans.Shame we didn't see what would have happened in meetings this season, but the last heat decider early on was pretty good. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole's local paper the Daily Echo have stated that 'they understand Poole will be in the Championship for 2022'! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 6, 2021 I don’t think there’s a doubt that Poole will be in the Championship next season. Six team league is not good. I visited six tracks for the first time this season. Glasgow, Berwick, Newcastle, Kent, Scunthorpe and Plymouth. Was hoping to visit Edinburgh but rained off. Next year will hopefully tick off Edinburgh and Redcar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
