I'm sure he'll remember 2009 when Poole were shyte, finished one from bottom and their crowds were awful. Still way more than what Lynn get now though.

Most Glasgow fans have been bleating on about how they’d rather have exciting racing at Ashfield than worry about winning silverware….so why wouldn’t they turn up to watch the ‘exciting racing’? 'Most' Glasgow fans don't bother with speedway forums. There's probably less than 30 on this one and yes some of them would rather watch good exciting racing than win trophies. The majority of Glasgow fans are like most fans they want to see their team win at home. The difference at Glasgow is that they also get good exciting racing as a bonus. Most fans also realise that not every team can win trophies and teams that win trophies don't always attract big crowds. The Ford's model works for Poole and they are very good at it. For example, they signed and kept 2 of the best gaters in the league who are also apparently very good at manipulating their averages. Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense and who enjoy trolling, 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Success didn't increase crowd levels for us. Same in 2011, although racing was better but crowds dwindled as the season went on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We may have one or two odd posters, but I've never witnessed any trolling from us like the trolling we receive! Poole is without doubt the most trolled club in speedway. Success obviously breeds contempt. Personally I prefer to block the major trollers as I refuse to give them airtime, however fellow Pirates supporters are free to do as they wish and respond to whom they wish. That's the whole point of a forum my dear fellow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I agree Poole are probably the most trolled club, there are certain individuals that bring that on. I can't deny Poole's success is impressive, but there are quite a few fans who like to make sure everybody knows about it.... a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) I watched the meeting back last night on BSN. Yes, it was the utter trouncing I saw at the stadium. Track was very good, except for a rut which was quickly dealt with on the first bend. Racing wise it was dull, as Poole were completely dominant. From the start to the finish. An unfortunate emergency in the crowd gave the track staff to make the track ultra perfect, and the Glasgow team plenty of time to make all the adjustments they needed to get back into the meeting. They completely failed and it had absolutely nothing to do with changing setups. It was all to do with rider mentality and who wanted it. One team wanted it far, far more than the other and were operating at a completely different level. It had nothing to do with the race track. Once Poole were in front, they left Glasgow in their wake. Glasgow fans and others who were cheering on the Tigers moaned and groaned but they need look no further than the body language of the Glasgow team and manager. Beaten before a wheel had turned. For Poole fans there’s the old saying. When you’re Winning, you’re Grinning! Edited July 7, 2023 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
