Essex

Thanks Mike for your reply, if he lost that amount of money that's massive and you need to be rich to continue will he won't he well we'll soon find out. As for Poole getting it right I wish all clubs would maybe it's money or the pull of riding for Poole, always had good support because it's a speedway town always has been.

I suppose it's a question of can the promoters afford to run next season.Mike 0310 do they own the track if so that's half the battle let's hope they do run, a lower points limit will dilute the quality but may make it affordable to promoters and keep tracks running.

If he has he must be over the moon even with my Poole hat on it must be what a lot of riders aspire to riding for Poole, maybe the reason Anders Rowe was not kept on for next year, but with four presumably heat leaders which Tom would be ( no Russians around ) leaves the bottom end not so strong (if you are right ) but what do I know I'm sure the Ford's have some surprises lined up and aside from that up the road Arena Essex landowners have given up plans to build houses and sold the site Thurrock Hammers Limited all over it and hoping to bring back speedway.

Just another point who has suddenly become available to let go Anders Rowe ?

Don't follow speedway in Poland so can you shed some light on these two please.

Many different opinions but at the end of the day it's another meeting fans can attend may or may not be a proper trophy at stake but a final chance to see speedway this season enjoy it while you can.

Lots of excellent points made to my initial question and the first point in your post has given me a different view to my thoughts on why reduce the points limit.Poole could run in the top league big enough crowd,Wednesday an issue but chose to drop down to save money I believe so as you say certain controls are part of the deal however as another point made all teams build to the same total so all a bit baffling.

Maybe a silly question but why is the points limit as has been mentioned coming down surely it's better to go up and allow better teams to be built don't the promoters run speedway or am I deluded

What an excellent statement you have made in reply to this person who clearly is not a speedway fan just someone who likes making random comments about Poole mainly derogatory because his or her team and do we know who he or she supports are not as successful as Poole.

I guess Glasgow owners wanted to win desperately and saw this Russian chap as the golden ticket, agreed he didn't win it on his own but allowed Brennan to go at 2 making their 1 & 2 very strong and by all accounts they are quite rich no idea what they do but it allowed them to pay his wages which I assume we're quite substantial.Still they won and to be fair some of their riders were quick away from the start which looked like a bucket of slop on the live feed.We move on and we've still got a trophy and one more final to go.We made 3 finals this year still lots to celebrate and I'm sure the Ford's will build a good side next season I just hope all the other teams do.

Move up to the few sides left in the "prem" but championship is the breadwinner for lots of riders.

Let's hope the Monarchs are still at the tapes next year and not another track to fall by the wayside.Assume Pickering has been tapped up by another team and can't blame him if it's a club who may be near the top and winning trophies although when I mentioned this is the aim for riders earlier this season was shot down by certain contributors on here,still as a Poole fan I don't think he's heading for Wimborne Road.Lawson is nailed on to be here next year and assume Worrall is although someone said he's going back up north next year if that was the case Pickering maybe or an alternative would be Ryan Douglas flies around our track could he resist the lure of Poole or am I deluded you decide.

No secret at Poole they just build winning sides every year and as I have said many times I wish all teams could do the same your often on here clearly a fan why do you think Poole always get it right and other clubs don't is it money because of it was surely Glasgow would win only going on comments on here.

Who gets the first leg of the final ?

Absolutely I'm sure the Ford's were on it if we were in need of a change something about it isn't right but rules are rules so good on Glasgow for getting it done at whatever cost.Never heard of the chap myself but can he ride other play off tracks only time will tell but certainly makes you stronger well done to the owners or whoever was on the ball to sign him.

I imagine the Ford's and the senior riders have already decided who we play good to finish top though after building a new side this year is it money that makes us build good teams well I suppose of it was by all accounts Glasgow would be top or just the Ford's knowledge and the chance to ride at Poole.

Well I suppose there is no chance of Poole picking Oxford or Glasgow let them two play each other as regards to this Tarasenko chap what a good bit of business that could be straight out of Matt Ford's cunning plans not sure he ever got a premier rider on a 5 average but we'll done Glasgow but can be ride Oxford and Wimborne Road time will tell.

I thought this was a fan site for some honest and light hearted fun but clearly your comments and many other relating to Poole are not.I have said before I wish all teams were equal and any team could win the title and I still wish that could happen but after all the nasty and negative comments on here regarding Poole I hope we win the the title for the third year running

Don't label all Poole fans as numbskulls I certainly aint one.Supported Poole all my life just because they win a lot of trophies makes people envious.I would love to have all teams equal and all having a chance of winning the league but that ain't possible I wish it was.How lop sided this league has been this year 4 teams cast adrift that's no good for the long term speedway.No clowns at Wimborne Road if all clubs had owners like the Ford's how exciting the league would be just remind me when did Ipswich win a league title yes 1998.The way teams are folding with Peterborough and Wolverhampton closing we'll be lucky to have a league next year let's hope we have and as for digging people out like you have and I don't know you and you may be a nice person just remember and I may be wrong but didn't Starman has some serious health issues be lucky you don't walk in their shoes or maybe you have

If Poole are on first or second I don't think it will make any difference to the result Poole are like Casey Jones and the Cannonball Express for anyone who's old enough to remember there's no stopping them now well had a few San miguels ,love them or hate them and why would you the Ford's know how to build a winning team be honest would you not have wanted them to rock up your team years ago I will be honest I don't want Poole to be as has been said a gaters track and it was not years ago when Fossengen,Eide,Preston (remember them ) etc were doing there stuff but reading the comments there was loads of passing v Redcar so summing up who knows who will be top probably Poole after Edinburgh meeting after that who knows just so long as the final whoever we play (only kidding) is a good fitting end to the season

They may be successful business people and good for them making money can't fault that at all but successful speedway promoters clearly not yet, money doesn't buy trophies/win leagues etc Poole have the knack of building winning teams and winning trophies.

Surely when they do the track walk they can all see the start line and set their bikes up accordingly.You can't hide the dirt and must be able to clearly see what it looks like so why do people moan about it when it's common knowledge that apparently Poole is a gaters track of which I have no idea I don't ride bikes but are people saying only Poole can gate at Wimborne Road if you look out the window and it's pouring with rain you don't go out without a coat so it no surprise when you get wet

Lots of comments across these posts about the Poole track but if all the fans know what it is like surely these riders who ride tracks for a living should adjust their bikes to fly away at the start like Poole are said to do.Not sure our track is as bad as certain people make out otherwise Poole wouldn't get such big crowds as no one wants to watch processions every week.Darcy,Chris and Magic were racers was the track that different when they were riding Wimborne Road every week or back further when Super Simmo,Ron Preston were flying round the track.

Mike0310 you are a very honest chap and always like your Frank opinions about your team do you think there will be changes and if so who would you replace,read a comment Plymouth being where it is makes it a long trek for riders and maybe that is a problem.No fun for either set of fans tonight winning by that margin is hopeless only winners were Poole riders bank accounts

Was out tonight so couldn't watch the stream and well done to Scunthorpe for pushing the pirates all the way not such a cakewalk some thought it would be but if Tom Brennan allegedly didn't answer his phone maybe he didn't want to drive to Poole and earn a few quid ?
