Some Promoters just haven't got with the times and it's backfired on the Sport as a whole. Wouldn't you agree that if the rumours are true that Chris will pull Ippo if there's no Prem, is as bad as Ford wont move up because he will make less? Have been out for an 18th, but i don't think i'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does Fords only Weds, and Chris only Prem amount to the same thing, making profit. Like i say ive have a few 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long you've been a speedway follower, but Poole won everything there was to be won in the Elite/Premiership days and benefitted from very good sponsorship which helped to fund the likes of the Holders, Kurtz, Ward etc. However they latterly were losing money, and were let down 'big time' by a sponsor mid-season. They asked the fans what they preferred - Premiership on Mons/Thurs or Championship on their traditional racenight of Wednesdays? The latter was the resounding result and as Matt Ford stated publicly at the time, allowed the club to cut its operating costs by around 30%. Since then the club has been 'ticking over' as Danny Ford reported only last week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole have been far more successful and probably viewed as a bigger club than Oxford in recent history, so Oxford not making it work isn't strictly relevant to whether Poole could.

Ben91 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago When Poole decided they couldn’t sustain top tier racing that should have been a huge red flag to the rest of the sport. For the best part of the last couple of decades they’ve been the standard bearers of British Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
