Ford doesn't like to run against football and its only on the TV. He wants to try running a team with two of the biggest clubs in the world on your doorstep.

England aren't on tv though on a Wednesday.

Their fixtures are on a sat, Thur & Monday

Must be difficult working around Man United and Droylsden's fixtures.

Now await some optimist claiming England may get through to the play offs, or is it there are a lot of Romanian and Albanians living in Poole who go to speedway?

The reason is two fold. First of all the football, but secondly not enough fixtures. Poole want more meetings and in last nights program Matt Ford said that if the support was there he would run more meetings this year and wants feedback. He would rather run every week during July and August when the holidays are in full swing than in June when kids are at school.

Poole were trying to rearrange their home meeting with Leicester for Monday 20th June - everything agreed between the 2 clubs and no objection from Wolves (the senior Monday club), BUT it was then pointed out that England are playing Slovakia in the Euros with a 8pm start!!

 

If Poole's opponents had been anyone other than Leicester, I'm sure MF would have taken the risk?! ;-)

Just to give a slight clarification to Matt Ford's programme notes referred to by Shovy - What was actually printed was

 

"This is our last home meeting for a long time and at some point later in the season, we plan to gather the thoughts of our supporters as to whether or not you would like to see more speedway.

 

...Of course, we realise there are financial implications. If we ran more often, would people be able to afford to attend the extra meetings? I would be interested to gauge the feeling."

 

To me this reads more like sounding out the fans for next season rather than this. Maybe all clubs will be seeking their fans opinions as to how speedway might be structured in the future.

 

Many have been questioning the longer term sustainability of the EL in particular - maybe fans views will be fed back to one of the BSPA's pre-AGM meetings.??

But will they get listened to mate ?
