Starman2006 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 So a Coventry fan starts it all off and yet no one is allowed to reply to it! I'm sure there's logic in there somewhere. Horton will do whatever he wants anyway no matter what is discussed on here.. No no no Lisa. No Poole fan is allowed to reply to it. Get it right..

Popular Post The Voice Of Reason Posted January 1, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) At the end of the day I'm not a Coventry supporter. However, as it's my local track, and a couple of my drinking mates are, I have an allegiance towards them. And whilst fully believing in the freedom of speech, I'm not venting my spleen at Poole Supporters for having input; simply the fact that a number of those comments are completely unrelated to Coventry Speedway. Indeed, it is clearly obvious to many on the BSF, that a number of teams' threads are similarly hijacked with completely irrelevant information relating to Poole. Indeed, if the regular Poole contributors cannot see that fact, then they are clearly either extremely blinkered; or worryingly delusional. And even more ironic is the fact that those individuals continue to accuse others of being jealous of their success; when the primary concern (and point of discussion here) should be about Coventry's very existence. Again, it's a display of pure hypocrisy to venture onto another teams' thread expressing 'concern'; when, in reality, the primary objective appears to be blowing smoke up your own Promotion's @rse. Let's just hope that 2017 enables us all to demonstrate GENUINE concern for others; and in particular the fans of those teams who are facing such a worrying future. Because I can tell you this from the heart. I lost my Hackney Team/Stadium a few decades ago now.....and it still bloody hurts like hell.

stevebrum Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 So Stevebrum and the self righteous see themselves as some defender of the "right", while none Coventry fans are now not allowed to post on a Coventry thread unless its to wallow in self pity. I have every right to post on this thread as others have to post on the Poole thread. My posts were not gloating, just responding on topic to to a post from a Coventry fan about social media. If others don't like debate and the topic of conversation then don't reply. Its simple. To say my post was wrong about having a successful website and online presence is frankly laughable when using the argument that Coventry might not run. My point is relevant regardless of club, sport or business. of course you have every right to post on this and any other thread whether it's your own teams thread or not. likewise people are entitled to point out it comes across as poorly timed! and more promotion of his own club than the plight of the club who's thread it is. And point out it comes across as having a dig as well. We are all entitled to those opinions as well. So a Coventry fan starts it all off and yet no one is allowed to reply to it! I'm sure there's logic in there somewhere. Horton will do whatever he wants anyway no matter what is discussed on here.. It's funny it's mostly Poole fans having a say in reply. Funny that.

And point out it comes across as having a dig as well. We are all entitled to those opinions as well. How can it be poorly timed when its replying to a Coventry supporters post? What you expect me to do? Not reply to it for a few weeks so that the post is not relevant anymore? You couldn't make it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Lol! This started because a Coventry fan was moaning about the lack of an online Bees presence, and I responded to the post by stating what Matt Ford had posted just the day before on the poole website. It was a direct response to the post and bang on topic, yet its jumped on because its a success story and that can't be allowed on a Coventry thread. The point being that if the Poole website can have 100,000 hits week, so could Coventrys with some serious work. But success has to be frowned upon, right? I'm sure if an organisation were getting 100,000 hits a week, Sponsors would be lining up only too willing to come on board to join the venture...... Yet Poole are still looking for that company , .. .. .. .Strange that!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deal could already have been struck for all you know, and as usual Matt Ford is waiting for the right moment to announce it in the press for maximun exposure. If the pattern follows then it will be a large deal on 6 figures a season and won't be Dave's Pet Foods or Heather's Poodle Parlour. Oh but wait. More Poole chat on the Coventry forum! Shock! Horror! Probe! Steve Brum Should I have waited several weeks before answering to not upset Coventry fans? Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) My original post did say 'IF' we run. We will need to improve our social media presence if we want to get decent crowds especially with new clubs being established in the City. Not sure why Poole fans are being all high and mighty about it, their social media presence isn't great either and the website is awful. Who says Poole are still looking for a sponsor?

To be fair your reply was basically look how great Poole are at doing it when in reality they are not so great.

To be fair your reply was basically look how great Poole are at doing it when in reality they are not so great. Actually it wasn't. It was a direct cut and paste from the Poole website. And I agree the Poole website is functional but dull. Years old and needs a big revamp to bring it into 2017. I personally rarely go there unless there's a big announcement.

Midland Red Posted January 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 What niggles members most, apart from the Blue Rinse clan taking over virtually every thread on here, is their continued total denial of their management's year-in year-out manipulation of British Speedway in their favour There can be little or no admiration for their on-track success, the way it has been achieved One also remembers comments like "it is a contact sport" from their muddling team manager; his unbelievable support for the misdemeanours off-track of Darcy Ward; their reaction to losing in 2010 to Bees Oh, and by the way, have the trophies for the Blue Riband 1-2-3 shown up yet? Bees and others are not jealous of Poole's success, just p155ed off with seeing how they go about obtaining it Stick to your own threads on here, or your own forum, and we'll join in their discussion - leave everyone else's threads on-topic and join in accordingly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not reply to it for a few weeks so that the post is not relevant anymore? You couldn't make it up. how can it be poorly timed?? Let's see. Their future is up in the air, rumours of a million pounds worth of damage to put right, no positives statements forthcoming that anything is solvable since the rumoured police involvement. Still its great that one fan queried their website and you were able to post a positive message on behalf of the Poole club at just how good great they do things. I'm sure your post is awfully reassuring to all Bees fans. Steve Brum Should I have waited several weeks before answering to not upset Coventry fans? Lol! Post what you want when you want. You are well known for disliking Coventry and their fans so it's no surprise that you can rub a little salt in to their wounds while you can. flange forgot to like this post of yours, he must still be a bit sleepy. Almost every thread veers off topic for one thing or another. You lot making a big song and dance about it, carries it on more! Funny that the most outraged person is a Wolves fan!It's as funny as Poole fans taking over every thread.

Bagpuss Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'd say the last thing that Coventry fans want to read on their own thread at the moment is trumpeting from fans of their deadliest rivals about how well they think their club is run. Not particularly sensitive. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
