AFCB Wildcat Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Perhaps worth mentioning the Holes Bay on Sterte Avenue west to anyone visiting Poole. It has a massive car park, a Premier Inn and Table Table restaurant. It is about as close to the stadium as any I reckon as there is a foot bridge over the railway line on Sterte road and a foot path that takes you straight to the stadium from the pits end.

bluejam Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The George Hotel just up the Road from Poole stadium is ok, the Shar of persia up Longfleet road is good for meals, the New Inn on Wimborne road about 3/4 mile from the stadium is also ok, and half a mile further down at Fleetbridge theres a Harvester, and a bus stop right outside, which will cost you a quid to the stadium, which stops just past the stadium entrance.. And if you walk into poole Town centre which is just across the road from the George you have a host of Cafe's and Take Aways. You also have a Holiday Inn just passed the Dolphin Centre and plenty of B@B's in the Area. Then you have Poole Quay and the pubs through the Town centre which also do meals, and if you like, you can sit outside enjoy the view over our amassing Harbour and take in some decent, fresh air... Hope that helps with your Poole situation.. The Brewhouse (was it called The Ship a few years ago?) at the far end of the High St is a class boozer,and Pirate Nick used to work there too.

A ORLOV Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Was he the glass boy. He was the bouncer on the door of the room at the back when the local pre school and W I had their meetings there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 used to be my local.... It's ok really but I suppose everywhere is if you know people.... The pub I'm a regular at, looks like a prison camp from the outside but it's a very good pint and the people are salt of the earth... It's called the scrogg ( has a bad reputation but that stems from yesteryear ) and is about 2 miles from the track I never had a problem at all, even with my hybrid London/Yorkshire accent. I was genuinely surprised when I was told how bad it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 HT just one question - were you wearing your shorts? lol I thought HT ALWAYS wore his shorts. I was talking to him at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely bloody freezing. Couldn't help but notice that HT was still in his shorts. Hope this helps Lioness.

Could well be true Dave.I've never seen HT at a speedway meeting wearing proper trousers. Same could be said for his footwear attire too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
