Grachan Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Stevie, calm down, ya blood pressure wont last till March. Well done to Poole to do something positive for once, but it is a big stretch to say the meeting in itself means much to anyone outside Poole. Sure it will be packed with such a field, but cant see many travelling so early in season for what is after all a open meeting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Would it not be a better idea to make the meeting an 80 year celebration of the whole of British Speedway rather than a 60 year celebration of Poole Speedway. I know you'd get exactly the same meeting, but just that in iteslf would make it more appealing outside the area. Stick Maloclm Simmons and Peter Collins out for a match race in the interval on 70s bikes and your sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if next year they want to do that meeting, with a 100,000 for the winner, it would be a tremendous way to start the Poole season.

Start of the season is the ideal time to catch the punters. It's near enough a GP line-up and it is a lot cheaper than a GP and riders are likely to be there with the prize money on offer. I would even expect a couple of supporters come overseas to see a taster of their favourite riders before the GP season starts again. IMO it should be huge.

Adder Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 So at a time when the sport is supposed to be cutting costs Poole lob £60k to the winner of a Mickey Mouse event that will take place in nadger freezing conditions in early March. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Er i would hardly say it will be a mickey mouse meeting!. Providing the Weather is ok, it will fill Poole to capacity!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 It would seem like another supporter with some freshly sour grapes to squeeze....not Eastie's flat mate by any chance are you? If your team held a meeting of this high quality to celebrate a jubilee, I am sure you would jump on the bandwagon and scream from the rooftops 'This is the greatest invention ever since the Lakeside track'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not sour grapes at all . Look at what has happened to the English football and all the money thrown away on foreign players and nothing on the English players of tomorrow. Its exactly the same with English speedway, obscene money thrown at the top dozen riders and nothing for grassroots speedway . We then have Matt Ford getting riders from abroad moaning there is no up and coming English riders. That is the point I was trying to make but then again I was replying to a Poole poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
