Depressing indeed to find that a hard core of so-called supporters seem to be revelling in Poole's current difficulties. I wish the club well and hope that these problems can be overcome - and I don't doubt that this is also the wish of the big majority, regardless of which other team has their allegiance.

Well we have the troll Trackrat and the so called speedway fan Lewy from Plymouth who are clearly not speedway supporters. No decent fan would want to see any club fold but it is obvious this is exactly what these two want. Should have their sorry arses kicked of this forum imo.

Or maybe Lisa is feed up with people who keep changing there forum names?

There’s only one person at both Oxford and Berwick, Jamie Courtney, and he is not the money man behind Oxford, he’s just fronting it as they need someone with a license

Maybe Redcar fans aren't deluded and coming to the tapes with a team more than 1.5pts under the limit they're realistic enough to know that winning the league is a bit of a stretch .They also might enjoy watching speedway more than going on a forum bigging themselves up or slagging the team off unlike the other clubs posts on here.

Shovvy gives far more to this forum than you do to be honest. Has been on here since before you were born probably . Hes quality.

Cook not been officially confirmed for Glasgow by the BSPA and Edinburgh yet to declare their 1-7. You're not telling me that's a coincidence?...

I don't even know what she's going on about to begin with.

Heard a whisper - not from a reliable source - that Ablitt is being considered.

I don't think Redcar fans are fixated with winning the league. Maybe donkeys years without a track and now having one of the best in the country does that. And you've got that saying the wrong way round! Half full is optimistic, half empty is pessimistic. I think thats what you were trying to convey

sorry but wanting a club to shut down is not banter

Quite agree, anyone who deliberately winds others up on the BSF should be banned.

By the time April comes around Nicola Krankie will have shut the border and banned all spectator sport due to a new Covid variant which causes a mild bout of hiccoughs so it's extremely unlikely you'll be seeing any speedway north of the border next season the way things are going.

That's good news about the rent issue, we all know what happens when people move into an area with a potential noise problem, even when its been there years! Looking at the developments in and around BCP at the moment seeing how the maximum is being squeezed out of each. As someone who sat through the last Poole FC public planning meeting for the Bear Wood proposal I will be interested! as its part of a 'major development' and that came straight from the chairman. Hopefully when the Pirates come to the tapes next season it will be difficult to improve on this years team not just the results, enjoyable to watch that created a good atmosphere and finally a much improved track to race on, how nice to have a variety of teams. Did I miss the 'top league' no but then again I had some of the best times following Poole in the National League.

I got my popcorn in this is quality.

Now who is making assumptions. Sorry but you can't speak for me, Bassoonthegasso or TTT, which ever one you are going to stick with.

He is a good lad, and really come on this year with MIldenhall. Worth a punt.

Now who's name calling

Surely nobody takes him seriously!

Wow this all appears to have kicked off a bit in the past 24 hours or so!!! Nothing more relevant to report (or spin) from this 'mouthpiece' at the moment (sorry Lewy!), as those of us in regular contact with the club have given all the latest updates already. I can't wait for the season to start to be honest and look forward in 2022 to keeping up with our 2021 unbeaten home record, so in the meantime its back to my Pirates Double-winning 2021 DVD.

The new promotion have been working on this venture for quite a while now & they are rather good at it ,, just look how Berwick is run

I actually got that!! But I thought that others might see it as you wanting Poole to close, but I remember you posting about hoping Poole continue to run, so unless you were completely contradicting yourself I knew it wasn't you wanting a club to close. Even Trackrat doesn't really (he wouldn't have anything to post about!). He just does it for a reaction, usually it's me that gives it, but I am not really wind upable at Xmas time, looks like SS is!

Benjamin Basso for Zane Keleher is not like for like… if that’s what you’re trying to say. What a strange take.

Hope it's next week otherwise no one there to receive it

What a load of rubbish, nowhere have I said I want to see Poole to fold. What I did say was I hope the situation can be resolved favourably and Poole will run next season and for many seasons thereafter but I feel we have been misled about how serious the situation is and given skidder a bit of ribbing about being the Ford's spin doctor which he gives right back at me just banter as far as I'm concerned. As for being kicked off the forum, Shovlar you are head and shoulders above anyone else on the bsf your posts are generally odious, arrogant, ignorant,bigoted,lies and vindictive usually trying to belittle other clubs tracks, facilities, supporters, promotions Glasgow and Plymouth being good examples, your posts are embarrassing for your team and promotion and even your own supporters try to distance themselves from your rubbish do Poole a favour and a whole load of Speedway fans and dissappear. Here's hoping Poole come to the tapes and Happy New year to all fans of Speedway.

Haha, probably out with Lewy toasting our demise.

Amazing!!! You've spent years baiting folk on this forum and had plenty of bites, now who's biting? Were you ever kicked off the forum for it?

I disagree. Perhaps they just like a bit of tribal banter. Nobody really likes seeing clubs go to the wall whatever they say. I think it's completely over the top to say that they should be kicked off the forum.

Matt Ford told me last week that he was hopeful of the rent issue being sorted shortly after Christmas. As soon as he had received written confirmation which had been delayed due to 'people being away on holiday'. I would expect the rider announcements to begin thereafter. It'll be very interesting to see the football club's stadium plans next month as well as the BCP Council's revised 'big plan' to regenerate various areas of the conurbation with reduced housing targets. The previous Poole Council had earmarked a section of the Poole Stadium Car/Lorry park and vacant office block backing onto Wimborne Road for housing development, which could have been achieved without having any major impact on the Stadium itself.

I'm sure messrs Campbell and Harkess can sort that out.

Your too late,Send for one then,I’m sure they will send it when available for next Christmas.

Don’t think the Stadium situation is any thing to do with the Edinburgh situation.

I expect you will be celebrating Poole (Paul) running next season

video update from Kevin Boothby the leaseholder https://fb.watch/ac3XYVQv7T/

do you have to spoil my Xmas....

I've got no idea what you're going on about to be honest.

Mickie Simpson back!

Steve has been far more reserved in his comments in recent times I believe.

Its all about opinions and you're entitled to yours.

Well the reaction you posted on Skidders post which was the same reaction as Trackrat and did infer that you were both happy with us apparently struggling to find a solution to the rent issue and therefore wishing our demise. Trackrat has stated many times of his hatred for Poole and wanting the demise of the team.

Ricky Kling it is then....

The forum needs characters to keep the site ticking over in my opinion.

Torun does have an airport, it's just hasn't been used for a long time! And never for commercial flights. I confess I didn't initially look deeply into it.

Hopefully they've done their homework they may well have some decent sponsorship on board , I wish them well this coming season and many more.

BWD should score well in the Championship until he gets hurt, unfortunately that’s his Achilles heel he gets injured regularly. But whilst he is fit and well I don’t see a problem.

Lets give the guy a fighting chance. All Horton had to do was convince the BSPA that he could host speedway. The new bloke had to present a business plan to the council to obtain a ten year lease. The stadium has stood empty for 14 years he will have some issues & if we make them bigger than they already are who is left to support him in this quest I'm sure your knowledge of greyhound racing is unrivaled. Your quote told us that the grandstand would not be open for dog trials. I'm sure that everything has to be inspected at a dog track from the surface to the jumps, the preperation equipment & the kennels this will also involve dog trials to insure the safety of the equipment. Only then can an application for on track gambling be submitted. So for April there will be no requirement for the grandstand to be open as there will be no racing.

Hope it's good news for the monarchs ,hoping to get up to Edinburgh next season.

Gating tuition from Chris Harris? Surely not

Is this confirmed anywhere? Would have thought Dan had out grown this league already. Give Joe anther season maybe.
