He has proved that he can and still does, i agree. I did read about poor out dated tools for the job. The track should of been got at as early as possible. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
-
But not so it seems I feel sorry for all the fans that turned up and were sent home.. It's a funny one. The track has been raced on since Glyn has been doing it. He is no mug when it comes to tracks, but I guess this Poole one is maybe something he hasn't come across..There is clearly something wrong with the base under certain conditions. I don't know if the tide thing has much to do with it, or if combined by very wet weather, it does.. Similar to the trouble BV had at the start, a soggy bottom. I know fans like a bit of banter, me included. Maybe they need to find out who put BV's right quick smart... And now someone's gonna say it was Glyn If there is any truth Poole are loosing £8k a week, I hope they can get this sorted and fans will return. No one wants a club to fold, not even Poole.

I'll take your detailed explanation MMF. Not sure about "decent gambler" Seems to be getting harder this season

No Skidder, she don't . But even at £11 x 1400, then x that by 3, you are still up there. Matt might of meant 3x the profit per meeting, I don't know. It don't matter, I was just trying to show it wasn't 3 x the gate money, thats all. I do know, that back in around 2010 a good young rider that is still riding now (no names) told someone i know ( another rider who has retired now) that he earned " About £30K a week" from Poland, Sweden and the UK put together.. Probably before tax, it wasn't mentioned. The money might be different these days, i'm guessing less in the UK.
-
You don't get a 1000 paying at £17 plus the rest making up to £20k. You say the Poles want 3x that...Just a joke tbh. My 6 year old Granddaughter could work that out
-
Do you believe that Steve...….. If you do you are talking rubbish,or your maths ain't no good.
-
yhat's £60k .Wrong.Im pretty sure ant GP rider would ride hear for £10k per meeting. £60k is just a joke and a lie...
-
Any comments on the £60k Gp star Steve ?
-
You know "Treble the gate" money is crap. Pooles gate money is at least £20k.You telling me the big guns want £60k a meeting ?? in the UK.Im pretty sure if £10k a meeting was offered, you would see some GP riders return. You need to forget 3x £20K lol... If Ford could afford £10K, you would see a top gp rider, riding for Poole. He wants to win so bad.
-
We know that's not right Steve. I accept that they are not cheap, but what Ford said there can't be right.. Lets say 1000 paying abults @ is it £17 ?. So we have £17,000. Add kids etc and £20,000 That's the "gate money". Matt said 3x the gate money per meeting..I make it £60k !!….That's probably at least 3 x what they get in Poland. Or am I missing something ?
-
I think he might be, but funds just don't allow any more. We know this because of the race bib thingy. His ruthless attitude might have something to do with it as well. 4 or 5 years ago you could get some GP riders willing to ride over here over for a £2-3K guarantee. There might be the odd one still, if based here. I heard that it could take 6-7k for some to come over these days because they get paid silly money in Poland. Not saying they don't deserve it though. But the UK just don't have the crowds to pay that kind of money .
-
They would have developed into the same riders.It's just Poole signed them at the right time..
-
Nah Magic was on the cresp of a wave.

I think Lynn did. But money talks. Well it did then.

In the TV meeting the other day Lambo was praised for his big points return, and he said " I don't know what the others where doing" I guess it's gonna be more of the same tonight apart from Kerr.. I wonder how long it will take before Lambert gets pissed off -

Masters...No replacement for NKI Ty poor by his standards. He's been great, so is entitled to one. MPT. Expected a little bit more. Kasper.. Getting a bit worried about him. We got 5 for NKI and 8 for TJ. I think Neils would of got HT 15 so 10 from 5 is not out of the question.TJ isn't going great, might of got 5- 6 at home, so overall I think we lost out a tad there. Lambo scored big and we got a lot from Kerr at reserve. Middle order and no NKI cost us -

Explains it now. Localised flooding. Pissed down on half the track, the other was dry
