Really, something tells me you are being a little cynical. 600,000 views and contrabutions tells me more fans are interested in what we do that any other club. funny that..

Should be rolled out across the country imo. Kids will get the chance to sample speedway if they dont already go. Adults will pay to get in Kids will want something to eat and maybe a sovenier from the track shop. meet the riders before the bikes are started One would have thought its a win win situation. Something that happens at Poole every week, the pits are open til 7 pm, riders are very happy to sign Autographs and have photos taken before and after the meeting. We also have a post meeting confrence in the back straight bar where again kids can meet the riders and have photo's and get Autographs signed and is very well attended.

Its not over till its over mate..

Will i, perhaps you want to take a bit of a look at yourself then...Never seen you put a decent post up to be honest. With comments like that you'l be the first to drive the last nail in its coffin..

Maybe, but we are in it to win it, and everybody knows Matt. Funny how our thread, Poole has 400,000 more viewings than any other thread, so we must be doing something right..

Never assume..

Who ? And replace him with who ?

Nobody said anything about sacking him in the same week, did they ?

After reading yr first sentance and a half i though, er we go. But you redeamed yourself in the second part. Sensible man..

Why not ?

Its just what we would expect from you lot, still waiting from Brum DC2 and uncle Tom cobbly to chip in as well..

Still couldnt get Scott in mate..

What do you want Steve, blood ? Chris will do a job for us, he still has plenty to offer. I agree with Matt this will all being well give us a good push for the play offs. It all comes down to averages. I to feel a little sorry for Linus, he showed flashes of what he can do, but in that position if you are professional enough you always want more.It proves that Matt will not rest untill that Trophy is back home...

Sadly Speedway is not looked on as the same as Prem football, that is a multi million pound sport, our national sport, when you see packed stands at prem matches people for whatever reason look at it differently, the only time our stadiums get pack is for the play off's and final, otherwise its not appealling to the casual veiwer, could sky have done things diferently ? Can BT do any better ? Im not so sure, could the BSPA have helped, ? Fot whaatever reason speedway has changed a hell of a lot down the years, and personally, i dont think you will attract the type of crowds clubs would get in the early 70's and 80's,. Then you had big sponsorship also national paper exposure, now you have nothing, clubs have to fend for themselves.We at Poole are lucky we are a high profile club that has and can attract good sponsorship thanks to Matt ford and his tireless work, other clubs are not so lucky. And when the casual looker watches speedway on TV and fair play, you have the likes of Pearson and Mr modorbike trying to ramp up 1234 its a bit of a turn off. no matter how hard they try.. Losing the majority of the top boys to Britsh speedway has not helped our cause as a promotional aspect either.

I assume the other person who mentioned it hasnt either then.. but as im from Poole and all that...

Yeh, somebody else did mention this but i also feel Leicesters track would benifit from a bit more banking especially coming out of the turns, it is rather flat and doesnt help the cause of riders that want to go high. some agree with banking some dont. Otherwise its definately gives riders home advantage .

Ha ha DC..

Im very sure she will be pleased to hear you say that..

Dont worry about it Steve, think of it the same as if you are applying for a job, the employer will turn his nose up at an appllicant who writes a book. 4-5-6 sentances long is fine, otherwise you might confuse some of the dears on here..

Your wasting your time mate trying to get a decent conversation out of the majority on here mate. There are a few none poole fans who will contrabute sensibly. Thing is Steve, not being funny although that post you put up was very good it was to long, and nobody reads long posts. Some on here do agree we need massive changes within the sport and a change at the top, but as per usual it soon peters out and the status quo, good band that, remains. Im normally very laid back, but this time i am very worried about the future of our sport..

Well that would count us out then... Fans do not want individual meetings, they want league meetings, otherwise no matter what idea you come up with the stadiums will be empty..

Hans i will make sure the hot water is on at poole for yr next visit .. No problem

Like to think you'l be right..

Of course they have, this is old news mate.. But on the same token both Scott or Bomber would be happy to go to Poole.

Think that will be an odds on certainty
