Says the person who coments on every thread of every team.

 

She likes speedway, that's a good thing, no? And at least her comments are usually insightful.

Seriously ? You don't think a 34 point deficit will affect the size of the crowd ? Or are you just trying to be a smart arse?

I think he’s trying to make a point. Most Glasgow fans have been bleating on about how they’d rather have exciting racing at Ashfield than worry about winning silverware….so why wouldn’t they turn up to watch the ‘exciting racing’?

Yup. Cause they gated 

Which makes it all the more embarrassing knowing that's what they had to do and yet managed 3 all night. Remind me did the Poole riders pass in any of those heats?

But their fans also didn’t whinge about the track like the Glasgow fans have. The Poole track didn’t suddenly become much worse for that one meeting. Which tells you what? Basically that the Glasgow fans - although not directly blaming the track for the loss - are simply complaining so much because they got hammered.

Even most Poole fans - bar Shovlar and Skidder no doubt - would accept their track isn’t the most exciting, but good grief, not a single set of opposing fans have moaned about it like Glasgow.

I would guess Oxford get bigger crowds than Poole. And they are a bigger club.

High praise from a Swindon fan! While it’s great we all get along these days, would be amazing if they can re-open and we get the good old-fashioned rivalry going again.

The poole track has always been rubbishe, sooner it’s closed the better 

What sort of speedway fan wants to see a track close? Disgraceful

Most Glasgow fans struggling with the simple concept that their team just weren’t good enough.

Oxford have a lease in place until at least 2031.

I presume that it can be extended as well…hard to see the stadium go back to how it was.
