A shame Poole were not riding against Oxford this week. Yes I know Oxford are riding v Plymouth on Wednesday, but next Wednesday clashes with the PSG v Arsenal match in the Champions league. Might have been an idea to ride on a Friday or Sunday as it’s a holiday weekend?

How many fans are planning to go to the football.

Why Steve?

Attendance isn't that noticeably down when Bournemouth play let alone Arsenal.

Certainly is down when Poole clash with Bournemouth. There are many fans that go to both.  Champions league next Wednesday. A shame there’s a clash which could have been avoided.

Not sure a Arsenal champions league game played in France would have much affect. 

Seems like it only affects Steve! If anyone wants to watch both just go to speedway and watch the football on the phone in between the heats sorted! 

Definitely not worth moving a meeting for imo.

If anything they should be moving the Arsenal match, so it doesn't clash with Poole :party:

Steve seems the only person who is bothered.

Most speedway fans aren't bothered by football

My daughter and I are heading to Arsenal on Saturday to see Cherries win. Not an Arsenal fan but support English clubs in European matches.

 

Right, we get that. But you are expecting a fixture change because you want to watch football of a team you don't support 90% of the time. 

You will just have to choose which you would rather watch! 

It is May 1st and not April 1st right?? 🤷‍♀️👀

I meet up with Gary May and quite a few speedway fans at Vitality before every home match. I see dozens of recognisable Poole fans at AFCB every home match. There is a big crossover. There are plenty of Cherries fans sitting around me in the main stand at Wimborne Road.

I agree there are many that see both, I sat next to a Kings Lynn fan at a football match in London last week but it isnt Bournemouth playing next Wednesday and I wouldn't think too many Poole fans support Arsenal. It should be a good game to watch though, PSG play some amazing football and I fully expect them to win. I understand you think some may want to stay home and watch it on tv rather than see the Pirates live.
