The Know Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 No this is not for us at the present time, after stepping back for a while we are really enjoying our speedway as fans, its far better than getting to involved. We shall be doing various things for 2014, club, riders and maybe sgp. That's a pitty would be great to see Meridian Lifts back with the Pirates again. . We shall be back helping Poole in 2014 no doubt but as a smaller sponsor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I don't hate Poole Speedway Club, but I do despise every single moron that cheered each of the last two weeks when a rider fell, and I do have a sour taste for the way Poole Speedway go about their business of winning, I.e. Lakeside call-off. Despise away, you are the one with the problem then, perhaps you should seek help for it. There is nothing wrong with cheering when a rider falls, its an instinctive reaction from passionate fans who want their team to win. As you despise it then you must have the opinion that said fans would like to see riders injured.. which is far far from the truth with 99.9% of fans and just demonstrates that is YOU who has the problem, not others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YerRopes Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Matt Ford said in last nights program that it's pure jealousy. How right he is. he said if he was liked he would be doing something wrong as success always breeds jealousy. If that's what Ford said then he is obviously an egomaniac as well as a fool As for last night Poole thoroughly deserved their victory against a very poor Birmingham side. Poole have proved to be the strongest and most determined side in the Play Off's and once again have proved Mr Shovlar wrong. It was a shame though that the meeting was so boring, obviously not helped by that 'cow pat' of a track.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Oh dear! If only Matt Ford had followed this advice in 2010 when Poole finished top and 4th placed Coventry had the cheek to not only beat them at Brandon but on their own track as well fair and square. Unfortunately toys out of the pram time at the end from a bitter and twisted promoter intent on getting his own back. So excuse me if I don't join in the celebrations because I could never bring myself to congratulate Poole on being champions this season. Signed.........A.N. Elephant from Leicester. Suit yourself. As for last night Poole thoroughly deserved their victory against a very poor Birmingham side. Poole have proved to be the strongest and most determined side in the Play Off's and once again have proved Mr Shovlar wrong. Why have Poole proved Steve wrong? He's always been 100% behind the club.. Edited October 8, 2013 by Starman2006 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob tatum Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yes I am 51 & maybe losing it a bit but as an ex marine I do keep myself fit & healthy with an active mind ,but reading on this forum that a human being thinks it is ok to cheer when another human being falls or crashes is absoloutely disgusting. I am totally shocked by these comments by people who should no better as speedway is a terribly dangerous sport & sometimes innocuous looking tumbles can result in life threatening injuries. Isn't it strange when if someone abuses another regarding there skin colour or sexual preference there is uproar yet we allow cheering when a rider crashes ,for all we know that rider could be dead. I am saddened & shocked I really am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 The Master strikes again . And where will you be next Monday night??? Bit dark at the Abbey this time of year, so i understand!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Nick Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Great meeting last night, with the Pirates in imperious form. Wards pass of Harris in ht6 was amazing to watch from the track, it looked like he just went straight through Harris and out the other side (watching the replay on the screens in the glass stand dispelled us of our opinion the he was using the Dark Arts though)! MOM JG was very good value, great race with Rebels team mate Jason Doyle and will do well in the Elite (if there is one) next year. God knows what happened to Smolinski, definitely not the same rider the rode in the GP Challenge. Looking forward to a great night out with Bluejam next Monday (not so much the hangover that is going to come with it though ). Of course the most important point is obviously that the Gavan and Shovvy show will be here for another week! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummiestormer Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just like to congratulate Poole on winning the Grand Final for this year----only one thing i didn't like was the Poole fans cheering wildly when Danny King fell off---apart from that well done!

TheReturn Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 There is nothing wrong with cheering when a rider falls, its an instinctive reaction from passionate fans who want their team to win. Seriously? That is rather pathetic and really childish to try and excuse such pathetic behaviour. It's funny though, I followed my team home and away for many. many years, and not once did I, nor the fans I travelled with do it, nor experience such vociferous cheering by home fans on my travels as we heard at Poole. Riders risk their lives, and the least us fans could do is try and keep our big fat mouths shut for a moment when they fall, to ensure they get up. FFS, are you for real? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant have seen many fall. or you havent been to any of the tracks I have been to or your just lying to make a point, the laughter and cheering of darcy at eastbourne was deafening, it happens at every track unless its just against poole riders when we are away!

The point he seems to keep banging on about is that it only happens at poole which we all know is garbage. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
