The "Poole Business Model" is based on success... Probably more than at any other track... Spending another ÂŁ100k (and maybe more), to not be guaranteed (unlike pretty much now), at least, a top two finish, would be a big question mark for them.. At Poole it appears that the success of their business is about winning, with little regard as to the level who you are beating... Losing against Belle Vue, Ipswich, Sheffield etc, whilst watching genuine World Class talent, won't be a crowd puller for them based on their current model.. If it aint broken don't fix it must come to mind for their promoters... Unless, of course, those tier one promoters deliver their division as clearly the place to be for financial reward, and prestige.. A hell of a big leap needed for that though isn't there?.. Â

Ah so it was just your opinion then, got it.  Was just curious as the way you worded it it seemed you were stating a fact and had knowledge of the situation.Â

appreciate the costs are going to be higher but Poole currently have 4 premiership riders in there starting 7, not including Kerr who has done mulitiple seasons in the top flight and still could do a job. -
Clubs often don’t get the support to finance top flight racing. Only one club has maintained the level required to stay in the top league. Even Ipswich have had to drop, like 1989 or more recently in 2011, when support  would only cover second division meetings. Those times though pale into insignificance when compared to 1962 when support couldn’t cover any speedway and the witches shut down completely. Sad times with the only silver lining being Peter Craven’s Ace world championship win. I’m sure Ipswich wouldn’t have wanted a barrage of criticism during their too often times of struggle so be a little more mindful when having a pop at others please.

Again, no. He was specifically talking about British Speedway, not the GP’s.Â
