Woofy, Bomber, Scotty & Cookie as Team GB (England!) would be in with a shout of a medal as by then Scotty & Cookie should be well dialled in at the National Speedway stadium. Ya never know...

Not true, speedway is exactly the same...huge crowds and followings in the 70's and early 80's so can be reawakened just like those sports were. I was born in the early 70's and watched speedway on Saturday's with my father on World of Sport (or was it Grandstand?) when growing up. A lot of my classmates did the same, but a very high percentage of todays children have never heard of speedway. In those days a lot of folk knew a lot more about speedway than folk do today but that can change. I have been going to Poole speedway for as long as I can remember and have always stood in exactly the same spot with my father as it's the same spot he used to stand with his father - and that's something I'm immensely proud of. Crowds at Poole have significantly fluctuated all the years I have been attending and there doesn't appear to be a stand out reason why. There is absolutely no reason why speedway cannot return to being what it once was as (in my opinion) it's the most exciting motor spot in the world. It just needs the right person or persons with the right vision who are prepared to play the long game. It won't happen overnight or even in a few years, but it certainly can! Why can't Barry Hearn (with his proven track record) be that person?

Isn't this where the 'squads' idea would fit in??

Err....snooker and darts...both at international level. I rest my case m'lud.

Well he was when he rode for us at Poole. Maybe riding for the best team in the country brought the best out of him!

Tungate can be a bit of a firecracker at times, always welcome back at Poole as he is 100% a trier and never gives up. Robins could have done a lot worse.

Again I agree

Not true, you attack anyone and everyone who dares to disagree with the (more often than not) nonsense you post. Your Matt F butt kissing (on here and on our own forum) is embarrassing. The Poole forum itself has been on the verge of closure more than once and is it a coincidence that you're always at the centre of things when these threats by the webmaster are made? You then disappear for a few days to let the dust settle and then you reappear like a bad smell and it starts all over again. Lisa is 100% correct, but she's too polite to say things directly unlike myself.

Are you sure about Magic in that scenario marky? He's no dirty rider.

Nice post Phil and I agree 100%. See my own post a few days ago which said similar regarding the top riders.

Well I for one would be willing to fork out £20 - £25 a meeting if every EL team consisted of the so called 'stars' from 1 - 5 that are now ignoring the UK. I'd rather see heat after heat of say N Pedersen/Hancock/Woffinden/Holder than what we have now and if that costs me £20 - £25 then so be it.

But that's to celebrate the life of a talented and well respected singer/songwriter/producer and actor...not the version we have on here

You jest I assume

He won't respond to posts written well in the Queen's English as that's a foreign language to him

My first criticism by ONE person.....not countless criticisms from countless persons unlike you know who. Not quite the same is it. Oh and if he posted opinions rather than guff then at least that would be a step in the right direction. I'll leave things there on this topic. UP THE PIRATES!

Thank you for your reply Skids, however no matter how you dress it up you're still defending him. The difference is everybody else posts sensible comments which respond to what's being asked, he just says the same old rubbish followed by

Nail and head on every forum he posts on, not just Poole's. If anyone posts anything negative about Poole, they are anti Poole and a clown. If anyone posts anything negative about Matt Ford or Middlo, they are anti Poole and a clown. If anyone posts anything which he doesn't agree with, they are anti Poole and a clown. Starman has single handedly done more damage to Poole Speedway on many forums than any other poster, something which you say yourself shouldn't be tolerated but yet you appear to be defending him. On top of the above he gets in to Poole FREE OF CHARGE and abuses this privilege on forums daily, but you appear to be defending him. He is not the cause of all problems, however both the BSF and the Poole Forum would be far more fruitful without him. I look forward to your counter argument

It appears not and I have no idea why

My cap is a bit larger than Starman's as my grey matter is a touch more generous

If you're referring to myself then.............................................................................................nope

Words fail me.

Starman discusses nothing, kisses Matt Ford's butt and name calls more than anyone else on this forum and then repeats time and time and time and time and time again... Not quite the same is it?

No need to thank us as some of us feel the same. As far as I'm concerned you're free to express whatever you like about Poole on any of our threads as then we have something to discuss....the whole purpose of the forum!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That is all. And I don't need to convince anyone of anything and if stating facts makes me 'sound good' then lucky me

I'm happy to provide links or cut n paste. For once, just don't make yourself look any more foolish.
