Steve0 Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Strange, the Poole website says Bucowski is a Peterborough asset. Still, I guess you know best Apologies for the incorrect information. I meant that they were not assets of the team currently running Peterborough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunRobin Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 The trouble with the "blue tints" is that you are not allowed to remember the past & all their previous demeanours. It must be the sea air, it causes memory loss. If Leigh Adams says you cheated, you cheated, I know who I am likely to believe!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past is irrelevent to them and the damage they have caused the sport. But hey ho they have won 3 on the trot and in the words of their main fool 'its only winning that counts' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey ho they have won 3 on the trot and in the words of their main fool 'its only winning that counts' Oh no we remember the recent past very fondly! Unfortunately i don't think the crowds will be flocking this season due to a lack of riders like Janowski. We have done some dubious things in the past but what damage it has done to the sport , if it has is difficult to know Most people go to watch a decent meeting and have a good night out, they don't concern themselves with forum's or what goes on behind the scenes.

However they are not the sole cause for people not going which seems to be what some are saying.  I go to 5 or 6 meetings a season at Ipswich mainly due to work commitments but also the fact a meeting costs me around £50 a time so i have to pick and choose what i think will be a decent meeting. Im sure many more are like that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwatcher Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I like Gav have to pick and chose which meeting I go to, now my Grandson has reached the age og 11 we now have to start to pay for him as well the last meeting we went to at Leicester was the final meeting against Poole. With the cost of addmision a programme a couple of raffle tickets a couple of coffee's each, plus my fuel cost for the 25 miles each way, I have no change out of £60, and to be fair I don't think that this was good value for money. We both love our speedway and have been going to BP since they where in the PL. Next year I am having second thoughts, about how many times we actually go, I have been looking at the cost of going to watch the road racing at Darley Moor, we can get in there for £ 10 the Grandson is free until he is 16, it is only 2 miles further than going to BP plus you get to watch over 5 hours of racing. So we will give it a try and see if he likes it as much as his speedway. May just go to a couple of meeting after following the sport for over 50 years from going to Long Eaton as a young teenager on my pushbike, I am just starting to get a little bit disillusined, with speedway, it has now started to lose some of it glory, the way that the FTr riders have been the ones that have been winning the meetings with double figures in most meetings and some of the riders who may have just as well not bothered turning up, plus all the guest and missing riders, where you had not got a clue who was riding for the team until they named all the changes before the meetings started. Times when there was only a couple of riders who actually rode for the taem the rest either guest or R/R. So we will see how things go, but I don't think that speedway will be seeing very much of my money during the coming season. Shame really, because the way things are going they are managing to ruin on of of our countries great sports. Just hope they manage to keep it going for the next 10 years that is the EL because there will always be speedway at the lower levels.

Poole have always been well supported in recent years due partly to our success but i would suggest not solely, i think the continual exodus of quality riders will eventually do more harm than any damage Poole may have done in the past. I think most people pick and choose meetings due to work or just can't afford to go to every meeting. I also think Poole have better crowds than most due to their locatiion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the " lets guess when the Speedways on" that does it for me .. Sometimes a couple of weeks without a meeting , then three in a week !

Many many fans pick and choose there meetings now, its not an isolated case, many at Poole do the same thing. Although our crowds are very good we do have a very good fan base. But people can no longer afford to go on a weekly basis nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes a couple of weeks without a meeting , then three in a week ! Being treated with contempt by the powers that be also gets in my grill ! I would agree with you on that point, doesn't happen much at Poole but i know other teams that happens and fans can't afford 3 meetings in a week, you could say it is the same amount of meetings but it easier to budget for one meeting a week.

baldinhio Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Apologies for the incorrect information. I meant that they were not assets of the team currently running Peterborough. The concern for speedway in Peterborough could be the strengthening of the Poole/ Readypower relationship and it ultimately suiting both parties to transfer the assets of Peterborough to Poole. Should this transpire, the benefit to Readypower continuing their financial support of Peterborough appears questionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Other assets have moved from Peterborough to Poole but that is down to the club to announce if and when is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Other assets have moved from Peterborough to Poole but that is down to the club to announce if and when is required. so when is the Brady announcement going to happen or has there been a hitch?

SteveLyric2 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 If and when an asset is transferred or a new signing made - it doesn't necessarily mean that the rider will be in the team for the next season?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
