Oxford did that in 1989 aswell.

I don’t think anyone genuine speedway fan will be disappointed if speedway stays on in the Poole area even if they don’t like the team. As soon as people hear the name Clark Osbourne they are then genuinely worried for that club. The man is a cancer to the sport and a habitual liar to speedway fans and promotions.

Tbf when Dan signed up to race the Arenacross series this year I thought he was using it as practice for Foxhall!

Fair play to Poole they have put together the strongest team. As long as they don’t have any major injuries especially to the reserves they will take some beating. Big favourites to clean up but whoever signed Cooper was going to be.

Like when certain Ipswich fans were demanding teams moved up and were going to lose tons of money just to keep the failing premiership going? Were those Ipswich fans going to cover the costs of that team? I don’t think so, so it’s a stupid thing to say about an individual covering costs. I agree it’s his right to do but would he have been selling up if he got what he wanted? He would have been happy if we had another sacrificial lamb in the top flight. Last year’s premiership was basically a 5 team league as Oxford and Birmingham were so uncompetitive it’s not really changed that much. We even had an Ipswich fan on here having a pop at Plymouth because they didn’t win a trophy so the season was unsuccessful. That club had a great season imo as they got bigger crowds and the feel good factor returned.

Or premiership promoters who throw out the toys when they don’t get there way.

Spot on and that is why Poole will be hard to beat next season.

Maybe you shouldn’t be stalking a minor on social media.

But most of the top riders aren’t riding here, Oxford, Kings Lynn and Birmingham couldn’t get one last year. Now Emil has gone we are left with the two at Belle Vue and Doyle, Holder and Fricke and that’s if they all stay. if these clubs come to the tapes in 2027 in the top tier where are the riders coming from?

Tbf there wasn’t many clubs in the premiership with healthy attendances last year. Probaly one club made money so it shows the current format is totally flawed.

But it’s blindingly obvious the premier league is unsustainable in it”s current guise so why force someone to go up if it can mean the end of a track. You only have to look at Oxford and see the damaged done by being in the top flight and then you here about losses made at other tracks and it’s bloody scary. British speedway needs to cut it’s cloth and run at a level that is sustainable and if it means the top boys don’t return and even some of the lesser riders go then so be it.

Nice of you to describe yourself in your post, you really are pathetic.

Well there seem to be a load of happy Sheffield Wednesday fans at the moment and they are certain to be relegated along with having a poor season. Sometimes sport is not about winning. i also know plenty of Reading fans that were not that upset about being relegated as it helped changed the direction of the club. So there’s two for you. I expect a team like Plymouth, not running at a big loss and being able to come to the tapes the following season is seen as a success. Now, teams like Poole and Glasgow this is not the case. Anyway, would you have classed Plymouth winning the title and going bust a successful season?

So if Plymouth had stayed racing on a Tuesday, won the league with low crowds and went bust would you call that a successful season? Most teams in the premiership football league call staying up or finishing in the top 4 a successful season.

Happy Redcar won, it would have been wrong a team that only won one match in the qualifiers win a trophy. Poole still the team of the season and if they have Rushen next year they will clean up.

Spot on, same happened to Oxford last year and Poole took advantage to clean up all the trophies like they will this season.

Polish averages are the best marker to see how a rider is performing. Unfortunately, there is no new riders under current legislation that can be brought into the series that will improve the quality of the field. It has become a borefest but crap track preparation and a rubbish scoring system do not help.

Ashton Boughen beat Doyle on Doyle’s home track last year, do you want him in the gp’s?

Greyhounds on Friday

Incorrect, not scoring more points than Bartosz cost him the title. All riders knew the scoring system before it started.

Nothing to do with you dropping to the Championship then?

I understand that but the circumstances around both call offs are different which you’re failing to understand. Poole because of a forecast and Oxford because of a saturated track.

It was absolutely chucking it down with rain last night and I doubt very much the meeting would have gone ahead even if we had dry day. Much heavier than last week when the meeting with Leicester was called off. it’s also been raining during today. You had no rain and called a meeting off so totally different.

Well we have a new contender for the dumbest post of the week award. Maybe you should look at the Oxford fixture list for both teams and you will see that one of the teams has been riding every week at home.

I said a certain number of times, not an equal amount. So that stat is pointless. it might have changed a bit in the new tv deal as all Sunday matches are now being shown live.
