Kester Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think you could count the times opposing fans have let off air horns at PB on less than the fingers of one hand, that's over 7 seasons. Why do think this is the case? Could some fans be a wee bit more respectful than others? And isn't it noticeable that the reaction of Poole fans on this forum, even to this issue, is arrogance and paranoia about jealousy. What an odious bunch. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And isn't it noticeable that the reaction of Poole fans on this forum, even to this issue, is arrogance and paranoia about jealousy. What an odious bunch.

No, their (your) reaction to the airhorn business has been arrogant - read the thread. I've given up explaining why I'm not jealous of Poole but object to the methods of your promoter. I've noticed plenty of other reasonable, intelligent posters doing the same in carefully worded and considered posts but still all we're faced with is boorish 'your jealous' garbage. Is that really your best argument, as it belongs on the school playground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an odious bunch. The lack of respect by some from Poole for anyone bar themselves is actually quite nauseating... As for the 'Jealousy' card - it's rather pathetic and childish in the extreme... But heh ho, they do get to go to Florida and think they live in 'Nirvana'.. La Di F*****g Da BTW..., Florida is soulless - go and see the real USA 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry The Cat Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) The Mic man is not connected to Birmingham and was a last minute replacement so why would he have sour grapes? He did congratulate the Poole team over the Mic but got moved out if the way by sky. The music was picked by the guy in the box and was again nothing to do with Birmingham. The guy playing the music on Tuesday night had nothing to do with Birmingham Speedway? You 100% sure on that GA? Must have been an imposter posing as someone with a very close connection to the club.

stevebrum Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 If there is I certainly didn't notice it. Perhaps the signs are like those in private car parks. Tucked away so they are not easily spotted and then when someone lets one off the air horn police turn up to rollock you. The arrogance knows no boundaries. must admit when I've been I've seen the signs as clear as day , probably some poole fans were so far up fords backside they didn't see them Funny if it weren't so true. The air horns ban was imposed by Birmingham City Council as a condition of the planning consent. Bells, rattles and fireworks were not banned so there is no point in making comparisons in noise levels between these and air horns. The chief planning officer at Birmingham did everything he could to persuade the Planning Committee to refuse the planning application and one of his reasons was that "the supporters use air horns." When it was suggested that their use could be prohibited he claimed that this would be unenforceable. Fortunately for us, the Committee over-ruled his recommendation and approved a planning consent subject to a total of 68 conditions, one of which was that air horns would not be used. It was made very clear to us from the onset that if we did not comply with all of the conditions then the planning approval could be withdrawn,so those people from Poole who adopted such a boorish attitude last Tuesday will have put the future of Birmingham Speedway in jeopardy if there should be any complaints made by local residents. For what it is worth, I think the air horn ban is nonsensical and would only cause a nuisance if they were to be sounded in the streets around the stadium which have residential homes in them, but the request not to use them was reasonable and made politely and there was no need for the kind of ill-mannered reaction that resulted. It might be logical to say as an earlier poster did "Oh come on - it was a cup final" but the sour faces in the planning office wouldn't see it like that - they would just see it as being a vindication of their claim that the air horns ban can't be enforced. I would emphasise that what I have written is aimed at a comparatively small number of Poole supporters and that the vast majority were happy to put away their horns when asked to do so and had no difficulty in making their presence known by their cheering. There are no "sour grapes" intended. Poole were very worthy winners and although I would have liked to see my own team win, I have no complaint about the result or the conduct of the majority of Poole supporters who were fully entitled to enjoy their success and to celebrate accordingly. Well said Brian. Not one Poole fan have shown any respect other than `well it wasn't me, too busy enjoying myself, sour grapes, sore losers` with no respect at all for the situation. I dont buy the bull that they didnt know. I doubt very much it was most first trip to Perry Barr which makes some of the obnoxious behaviour on here totally odious. To them Brum were simply poor losers and you were trying to steal their fun, as sad as that is that is what some of them really believe.

foreverblue Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 We are not all going to florida! Personally as I dont posess an air horn I dont think I need to apologise, perhaps some should have shown some respect to thj when he fell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Whoever the idiot was he/she was in cloud cuckoo land. The traditional music at the end of the play off final is the obvious Queen track for whoever has won.

Is that really your best argument, as it belongs on the school playground. how many times must we or I say, not interested in what you think about the Poole promoter. He uses the rules to ouur best advantage. Yes he spends money on top riders and why do all the top riders want to ride for Poole ? They get paid, have a chance of winning and ride for the best club in the uk. Every promoter and rider uses the same tactics to try and win just pointed out when it's Poole. I don't own an airhorn or know anyone that does as there for kids. So I suppose we won because we cheated, the track was rubbish, we had the best riders, Matt spent the most money, we have the worst maneger, sky favor Poole, the bspa turn a blind eye to Poole, bla bla bla.

Re your last sentence, where have I said any of this? Yet more drivel to replace anything you might have in the way of an argument. Ford's indiscretions have been well documented on here, I'm not judging him on this season, but over the many that he's shown his true colours.

Gavan Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 people just give up! you are never going to get through to the usual Poole suspects on here ive realised its not worth the energy! everybody has congratulated Poole on winning the title yet the sam old same old jealousy stuff keeps coming up. Why cant you realise that we are Speedway fans who just want to see fair play something which we all know is seriously lacking. The attitude to the air horn issue from some fans on here really just shows why fans of most other clubs see you as sore losers trapped in your own bubbles. but hey ho just keep telling us we are jealous if that's what suits you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 The reason the airhorns have only been a problem this time is because normally there would only be a few away fans at Brum at any one time. On Tuesday there were hundreds and hundreds of Poole fans in attendance. Many didn't have a clue about no airhorns ( I am guessing 95%) so there was bound to be some noise. No excuse for abuse though. And no excuse for Brum fans cheering THJ's fall, not that we have gone on about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirateandi Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 So the top heavy Pirates win. Yet it was the form of their two reserves,Josh n Kyle that won it for them. Huge congratulations to everyone concerned. Any team with strong reserves will do well my old man proved that when he promoted the long eaton invaders to there title winning season he always said the most important part of a team is to have to good reserves to back the team up and still to this day it's still happening !

guitar_art Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have no idea what the speedway tavern is, so you will win your bet!! Incidentally, on another thread forum members are being asked to give one positive and one negative about speedway. A Brummies fan (I presume) has already listed 'lack of atmosphere' as a negative! I know it doesn't answer your question but maybe Poole fans are so used to having a great atmosphere at Wimborne Road, that they do have to be reminded - in every way possible - that other tracks have their own local issues!! Despite what some will have you believe, Poole do have many, many sensible, enthusiastic and regular fans who are able to understand sensible requests, especially on issues that are so sensitive. I presume there weren't any issues at the league meetings, so as stated maybe it was just the euphoria of reaching the play-off final (again). Maybe there is an argument for having the final on a neutral track that has no restrictions?! Firstly I agree that this was a minority of Poole fans. Secondly we have had the finals at Birmingham but this has not been an issue. Edinburgh came down with eight coaches to celebrate winning ths league. They were noisy. They were loud. They were well lubricated. No problems until Poole came to Like an idiot I forgot to put the Web address for the tavern. Still you can listen to the podcast.

If a birmingham rider had been cheered when falling it would be 10 pages on how disrespectful we are, as it was thj nobody says a word.

The Florida dolphin has asked for time off next month - too scared of the diarrhea We're all used to it though... Hope you're not sat on a park bench somewhere shouting at the locals 'it is Krug and I'm going to give George W a big kiss when I get there'.
