Poole 2016

[Chris Brown]

Even Matt looks at the bigger picture, but if other promotions do not then they cannot expect to compete.Matt runs poole speedway how he see's fit and runs it professionally. Everybody starts at 0.

Would you tell Leicester City they can't win the league because, or would you tell Man utd you can't sign so and so because it gives the others no chance, Speedway is a club and team sport, it might do other promotions to remember that..

 

Dangerous comparison between a sport which is on the up and up with money pouring into it at a level that the participants could only ever of dreamed of and a sport that is frankly dying on its arse

 

But if you see speedway as a good comparison to football then fair enough. Personally I think its a dreadful comparison when you talk about the bigger picture

No i don't, definately not. But the same comparisons stand, you have to look after your own..

OOOshhhh davey not happy

To use football as an example a team that finishes bottom will be relegated because they haven't had enough money to get the players that the other teams have.

 

Yes Matt has to do everything that is right for his club but the other clubs can't & shouldn't stay in the Elite league if they can't compete.

 

Where will the Elite league stand if they lose more teams like Birmingham, Eastbourne, Peterborough who have decided to ride in the other leagues.

He is right to feel upset with only 5 league matches into a season and he gets axed. Its business and results driven but if he has personal problems its a pretty harsh way of helping him through a tough time.

Agree. If teams do not have a chance of winning a league due to complete domination crowds will suffer. Its happened in football and other sports. It could be a one team league in 5 years. Strength is gained by proper competition.

Any idea how long Newman is out for?

Any idea how long Newman is out for?

A couple of matches it said in a previous link to the local paper re BP in and DW out.

Regarding DW his personal problems are none of ours business.

Kyle will be missing for as many meetings as it takes to recover.

A bit late in the day for that.

Thanks for your input Starman.

Thanks for your input Starman.

I do hope thats a straight post, because the lads had a very nasty experience..

TBH I don't know who posted earlier in the thread and can't be bothered to look.

Let he or she who has never gone to work worrying/thinking about problems etc in their personal life cast the 1st stone.

I've done it and I bet there would be a bloody long line of others queued up behind me.

Really don't understand the negativity towads Poole's succesful business model. Think jealousy is creeping in, I'm very jealous of their success. Sure we would all feel great if it were our clubs status. It's up to the others to up their game not for to Poole dumb down.

 

For the predicted response. Yes within the rules ;o)

[markyb]

so Davey not now having employment - does this mean his visa is revoked and sent back to his native land - or do us tax paying British citizens have to fund his existance ?

He did do one of those British citizen tests, so think he's okay

You need to see the bigger picture and I don't think it's jealousy. Poole are a successful club - of that there is no doubt. However, crowds are going down all over the country and the "I'm alright Jack" attitude will only work as long as there are still clubs in existence to compete against. There is a question mark over Coventry, Lakeside seem to have resolved whatever issues they had over the winter and Swindon need to get the new stadium built before people move into the houses in the pits. The trouble is crowds have gone down significantly everywhere (except Poole and BV), so if any clubs fold, who are Poole going to race against? The BSPA need to come up with a plan (better than the last one which diluted the league year on year and drove the crowds away) that will re-energise the sport and they have shown that they do not have the skills to do it - so unless they solve this speedway will continue to die on its @rse and Poole fans will still be saying "Aren't we the greatest" when in fact all they are is the best of a bad lot!

You are a caring soul - aren't you!

Remember he nearly lost his life at Newcastle when a bike part pierced his inner groin(femoral artery). and he nearly bled to death.

Its rather boring that every third or fourth post you jump on it. Clearly you have little better to do with you time..Added to your beloved Ippo V Somerset thread yet. no i thought not

You really, really don't understand irony do you?

So you are actually agreeing with me. Poole and BV have maintained or increased attendances the way they do business. Yet you think they should follow those less succesful to save the sport? Think it should be the other way round - then we might actually get somewhere.
