sommelier Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I thought about 800 but the figure was about 1100 Yep think your about right about 800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 the darcy ward meeting done immence damage to the image of poole speedway,you cant turn people over and not suffer the consequences,at the grasstrack on sunday i was wearing my poole cap and several people came up to me saying they went to that meeting but have not been since.however the terrible dust problems would certainly have deterred casual punters and the threat of rain at a few meetings hasnt helped,and the new procedure for entering the stadium will further deter some,but crowds are certainly low 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Crowds at Poole have been poor this year no doubt about it. The Darcy meeting fiasco, huge gaps in the fixture list, poor weather and now horrendous and unnecassary anti terrorist searches when entering the stadium all add to people not bothering. Oh, and the weakening of the product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I know for a fact that the early evening rain showers put a number of people off. Â However the gap in fixtures in May caused by no Coventry fixture and the BV meeting being deferred to June 26th for TV certainly hasn't helped.

LisaColette Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 800-1100 is really bad! Hasn't been that low for a while. Some regular fans must be keeping away from as i thought with just the regulars that would be 1500. Hardly playing catch up we are currently second! Â Why are women always Right!! Â Yes I know I thought Gomolski would be a good choice and still maybe but obviously not to replace Brady I also said if Swindon didn't sign Morris then we should! Another one i got right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) The main (old) grandstand is licenced to hold 1100. I would estimate there were around 800 in there. No idea how many in the glass/restaurant stand and only a sprinkling of hardy regulars around the bends as the video of heat 15 shows, so I reckon it was closer to 1100 -1200 in total - possibly a few more!!

BWitcher Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 At Poole it may be more to do with the Darcy Ward meeting farce and having a team which some think needs strengthening. I suspect that the long gaps between meetings and the ever increasing numbers of guests and r/r are at least as significant as the lower standards. I can't speak for anywhere else as you can't tell from attending away meetings but crowds at Belle Vue seem slightly up. I can't say that the absence of Zagar has had any affect. Â Crowds have been falling at Poole for a long time as they have across all tracks. Â Belle Vue is an exception as you have a brand new stadium/track..

Gavan Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 And your point is. ?that he rides for you as well as us. He has so far only beat riders who have fallen off in front of him. Lack of effort as well. If Poole makes changes he has to go and I don't think we will have him for to much longer Crowds have been falling at Poole for a long time as they have across all tracks. Â Belle Vue is an exception as you have a brand new stadium/track.. Â To be fair Poole usually get good crowds......but they are fickle and go missing very quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt scan everybody, just random people. This will be an ongoing thing. Im very sure other tracks will follow suit. Why did you not vote then..
