Pirate Nick Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 starman didnt say it was your fault. didnt say there wasnt some competition. i have praised Matt Ford in the way he promotes Poole Speedway. Matt Ford would still do a good job at any club. But the fact remains that ther simply isnt as much sport in the area. Its not an anti poole or anti Matt Ford topic. what i dont need is jumped up nomarks like the know having a pop for no reason I'd hardly class The Know as a jumped up no mark. He's done quite a bit for speedway in the past and has done quite a lot for a young Brit this year. So a little more civility required I think even if you don't agree with any of his posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Gavan, The Know probably knows more about individual and team speedway, domestically and internationally, and has invested in the sport more than you've had hot dinners!! To call him a 'jumped up nomark' is totally out of order!! People get annoyed about your posts because they are so repetitive, often insulting, sometimes lacking facts and usually blocking up every/any thread that is remotely to do with Poole.!! We do get it - we just don't need it thrust down our throats threads quite so repetitively. Despite not being 'anti-Poole, anti-Poole riders, anti-Middlo' etc etc blah blah, why not go on some of the non-Poole threads and give yourself and us a bit of a break!

Bagpuss Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I've already stated that Ford is a very good promoter, but for balance it must be said that there are far less affluent and more sparsely populated places to promote speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have our poor and deprived areas too, as a comparison why does eastbourne suffer with poor crowds wheres their nearest top sports competition. Why does coventry have better crowds than peterborough. Edited October 12, 2013 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just face it Poole have turned a bad year into a good one. All this mumbo jumbo about this and that is sour grapes no matter how phrase it. Other promotions and fans are jealous of Poole not matter how you try to hide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 It' not just Poole fans either. Gavan it's boring, it has been for a while now! Every bloody day, same old same old....Most of us understand where you are coming from, but we don't need to read it time and time again But where would we get our daily laugh from? His rants are hilarious. When I see that Gavan has posted I know almost word for word what bile he is going to spew and it always makes me chuckle. Like an old 45 with a stuck groove. A bit like Stevebrum actually. Having a pop for no reason, your facts are wrong. Just face it Poole have turned a bad year into a good one. All this mumbo jumbo about this and that is sour grapes no matter how phrase it. Other promotions and fans are jealous of Poole not matter how you try to hide it. Completely and utterly true. Matt Ford summed it up perfectly in last weeks program. If they are not talking about you, you are doing something wrong. I expect now to read from Gavan a list of all the things Poole have done to "cheat" this season. The calling off of a meeting. The Belle Vue meeting Darcy getting injured making Poole stronger. Holder getting injured making Poole stronger. Blah de blah de blah. ad finitum. Truth is, come 10 pm on Monday night, unless there is some catastophic pile up, Poole will be Champions this year. And whether other fans like it or not, us Poole fans will be celebrating our fabulous clubs success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys, Gavans alwight, he just hates everything poole! I'd hardly class The Know as a jumped up no mark. He's done quite a bit for speedway in the past and has done quite a lot for a young Brit this year. So a little more civility required I think even if you don't agree with any of his posts.

Gavan Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 how is it anti poole to talk about promoting the team in one area is easier than others? where have i said Matt Ford isnt good for Poole? its fact Poole got into the play offs by somewhat dodgy circumstances. That is fact not anti-poole. Just love the old tiresome jealousy line. 95% of Poole fans on here are ok. You just got the clown Shovlar that needs to learn debate. The Know i apologise for calling names. I get frustrated when all people think is its anti Poole all the time when you have a discussion. But where would we get our daily laugh from? His rants are hilarious. When I see that Gavan has posted I know almost word for word what bile he is going to spew and it always makes me chuckle. Like an old 45 with a stuck groove.

Truth is, come 10 pm on Monday night, unless there is some catastophic pile up, Poole will be Champions this year.

AFCB Wildcat Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 ah right on cue. if you think Poole is a bigger place for sport than all of the other places ive mentioned that have speedway then just shows your knowledge. ok so Bournemouth is close by, its irrelevent of league position its crowd levels that count. Wigan were in the premier league getting less crowds then Sheffield United in League 1. The simple fact is Poole speedway have no other crowd pulling sports in the town. So according to you Championship football in Bournemouth can't pull crowds but it's easy to promote Speedway in the area. Ok fair enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 So according to you Championship football in Bournemouth can't pull crowds but it's easy to promote Speedway in the area. Ok fair enough! jeez how many times do i have to say this. Poole Speedway is in a catchment area where there isnt many other big sports around. Im not saying Matt Ford isnt a good promoter for his club!! Why do some of you just want an argument for arguments sake. Its an observation!!

Manchester has bigger clubs Ipswich, my team, get bigger crowds, Birmingham, Coventry all bigger crowds. Im not saying its easy to promote Poole as you need to have a good product. But it is in a better catchment are. Are you saying people in Poole "settle" on speedway through lack of variety? No. No. What im saying is crowds are dwindling everywhere partly due to people spending on other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said " it wasn't hard " which amounts to the same thing, that's why people have taken exception to your patronising inaccurate comments.
