The White Knight

I'm glad you put that bit. I was about to go off on a rant. :D

SCB that is a super Post. You have covered my feelings exactly. I am not ante Poole (though after Monday night - I must confess to having thoughts that way). Everything you state is correct. All this slavish devotion to Ward is, in actual fact, not doing him any favours. As for the Interview - he should have stayed away from the cameras - I can see why SKY wanted him on screen - but he should have simply said NO.

Just flutters around does he? :D

I suppose the view you take depends on whether you are Poole Supporter or not. :sad:

All looking very positive Aces51. Looking forward to next year already. :approve:

Let's hope that the return of the glory days are just around the corner. :approve:

Poisonous in fact.

Dead right!! :shock:

Ouch!!

Are you taking the p*ss E I Addio? :unsure:

Thank you grachan. It is why I no longer go.

Really!! I like Tractors. :D

Still be interested in his Reply though.................

orion - do you actually go to Speedway and who do you support? Genuine question.

So someone else has called it a day. One day there will be nobody left and you will all wonder why.

I must admit that I did expect Cook to progress faster and further than he has done. We all have limitations, perhaps Cook has gone as far as he can perhaps not - only time will tell. A bit early to be writing him off yet I think.

Probably too busy with Football. :rolleyes:

I'll drink to that!! :drink:

In this instance, to my mind, Havelock was quite right. Just imagine that there had been all four Riders in that Final Race. The way Holder skidded across the Track would probably have taken out both Coventry Riders and his Team mate as well. As it was he apologised to his Team mate. The Meeting should have been abandoned after Heat Eight I believe. Once again, as at Belle Vue, the only beneficiaries are Poole 'Pirates'. I've always taken this ante Poole thing with a pinch of salt. Now I am beginning to seriously wonder if there is something in it.

What if you cannot afford to invest the amount of capital to achieve the performance/success level you are talking about. These days there are no guarantees that folk will come - even for a successful Team - though I do admit that you have a better chance. Give up - or - go bust - it has to be one or the other. Would you put your money in to the Promotion because I wouldn't. Credit should be given to those who do. We are going through some very tough times at present and I suspect that the austerity 'cuts' made by Government has affected our Fanbase. No amount of investment will bring people in if they cannot afford to go. I think that the Newcastle Promoters are right to build and maintain a Side that they can afford - any other way would lead to disaster.

Actually - I quite like that idea. It could work it seems to me.

Yes - but they do seem to be showing less Speedway this year. Perhaps it's financial - they've spent all their money on Football?

League Matches are already pointless. If you win the League - you can then lose it in the Play Offs to a Team finishing SIXTH!! As we know to our cost........................

SKY losing interest perhaps?

I notice you never mention, or indeed quoted the other Section of my Post. I thought someone already stated, and I agree with them, that a Guest for a Number One is to be expected - Guests for other Team Members should not be. I really would appreciate ii if you would refrain from misrepresenting my Comments.
