I have been spectating at ovals all my life, 4 wheels more than 2, and have seen some terrible lighting over the years. However, having been fortunate enough to spend a few years on the dangerous side of the fence, I can assure you that the riders won't be having the same issues as spectators as the visibility is far better on track than looking in from the outside. Worst track I raced at was Crewe which literally had light and dark patches on the straights and very little (if any) lighting on the bends.

Shambles because it was announced Poole were in. Now they pull out. Don’t care who is right or wrong or who said what and when. The fact is this is a huge stinking pile of cow muck. Not surprised it’s gone like this.

If the Fords feel it wouldn't be a financial gain then we have to respect that, if it's right or wrong. Some Poole fans want us in the Premiership some want Championship and that is the way it is. I won't hide the fact I feel we should be back at the top table, where we spent 19 years but that's my opinion. The club lost money in 2019 for the first time in that period, down to a race night change, a main sponsor that never paid (maybe more checks should have been done on the business and I'm sure that would happen now) and the fact for the first time we could not attract top riders to the UK to ride for Poole, we ended up with a very young Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz at 1 & 5 which was too much pressure on young shoulders, against a team like Swindon who had Doyle, Batch, Jensen, Musielak. That would of had an effect on the gates as people support winning teams and that applies in every sport sadly, your winning everyone wants to get involved! I know Matt at the time was trying to get a top GP rider in but they wouldn't come for the money offered and that may of got the fringe supporters to make the effort to go and watch the side then. I would say when Matt first took the club on in 1999, it was all about getting the club back to winning and doing all he could to do that as well as making money like every business should ! the last 5 years it's more making sure we/they make money and a decent profit based on riding in a lower league, as he isn't willing to put his own money into the club to rescue it if it got into trouble. Personally if it was me I would look back at the past 24 years and the life style the club has given him and maybe look at not willing to help if required.  I know the club was up for sale 5 years ago, no one come forward hence why Danny got more involved, reasons why? valuation of the club maybe? But if some people want Premiership then I feel that won't be with the Fords in charge now, it would need to come from a new person getting involved and the club being valued at a 'realistic' value to take it on to make that happen. End of the day it's Matt Fords business, he can do what he see's fit to make money and run it how he wants. Supporters and potential sponsors also have that choice to invest or watch the team weekly based on what's being put in front of them or they choose not to invest or go on a regular basis.           

Same question we are asking, nothing on our fixture list sadly

Do you mean the Poole Pathetic ?? Asking for a friend
