Imagine how good the end of the season would be if the play offs didn’t exist. 
 

oh well, another year of the Poole sponsored play offs 

When did we win the play offs without topping the league prior to the play offs? So you say Poole sponsored play offs but we would have won anyway and in 2023 when Glasgow beat us in the play offs, we topped the  league table that year too. The plays offs are terrific entertainment and a great end to the season.

Missing riders all the time could potentially cost us at the end of the day 

Poole have only ridden 2 matches at home where their opponents have not had a guest …… can’t moan about your riders missing

As you will know, winning is never boring!

Depends on your definition of boring. Season after season of gate and go but some fireworks and a shiny trophy at the end of each season, or season after season of meetings with most meetings worthy of season finale standard? Your trophy cabinet might be bursting but your track is far from anything to be proud of. Success at the cost of the sports integrity.

Poole get biggest crowd in Champ, so they will do whatever gets people through the door. Who has the best track in the Champ? Worky? And their crowds are low. So you can have good racing but unless the team is winning, people will not go!

What are you running on about now? 
 

We would be in for an exciting end of the season with around 5 really important fixtures, instead we have to wait for the play offs to be run when it’s probably going to be cold and wet

That made me remember Workington winning the treble…..then what happened?

 Makes you wonder.……If Poole was in Cumbria instead of being a busy south coast resort, would they have the same following? 🤷‍♂️

Probably not.

 

Who knows, Poole have a long history of success in both Leagues so have a big fanbase but like all clubs must keep promoting and make the package attractive especially to the younger fans as most clubs rely on an ever ageing band of fans.

 

I'm not sure even if Worky had more success they would attract even a thousand fans.
