Starman2006 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 probably lower points limit to reduce costs and most promoters would support the move,i would guess poole crowds down around 20% this yr so need to control the outgoings Matt will still push for the higher points limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 probably lower points limit to reduce costs and most promoters would support the move,i would guess poole crowds down around 20% this yr so need to control the outgoings This forum is like a vacuum for intelligence. The crowds are down because of the last cost cutting exercise. The crowds will only go up when we spend money and increase quality! Why can't anybody understand this basic fundamental? If we reduce costs again next season, we'll have to reduce them again the following season and then again the following season... Eventually there will be no costs left to reduce as there won't be any sport left! Cutting cost = Reduction in quality Reduction in quality = Reduction in attendance Reduction in attendance = Reduction in revenue Reduction in revenue = Cost cutting required. If attendances are down 20% this year alone, imagine how screwed this league will be in 4 years time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Matt will still push for the higher points limit. i was responding to skidders post where he indicated matt ford had said he was hoping for a lower points limit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dump that clutch Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Surprisingly, I was told that MF was overheard to state he would be hoping for a lower points limit to start next season??!! Matt will still push for the higher points limit. hmmm, who to believe.. there's only one way to find out 'to coin a certain catchphrase' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I agree with BurntFaceMan. If you want to attract people to the sport then you need the best riders. The GP series has quite a good viewing on BT Sport. And people only see that and want to see that on a regular basis. Not convinced that Matt wants the points limit to go down. Be better to put the limit up to 50 and with fixed race nights that could see GP stars in all teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Nope. When Timo moves into the 1-5 he will end up struggling just like Klindt and Starke. He didn't struggle in the 1-5 vs Leicester!! I agree with BurntFaceMan. If you want to attract people to the sport then you need the best riders. The GP series has quite a good viewing on BT Sport. And people only see that and want to see that on a regular basis. Not convinced that Matt wants the points limit to go down.

Maybe Matt is doing some reverse psychology! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattfordfan Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 He didn't struggle in the 1-5 vs Leicester!! I know but that was only 1 meeting though. Just my opinion. I would like to see this top 5 1. Janowski 2. Woryna 3. C. Holder 4. J. Holder 5. B. Kurtz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 So that leaves about 18 points for the two reserves!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Fair point. Lets see if I can guess. Skidder could you answer the following questions please. Does this rider currently ride in Britain? Has this rider ridden in Britain in the past? Is the rider a Poole asset? Is the rider a HL, 2nd string or reserve? Is the rider British? As you are clearly overcome with excitement and anticipation I'll give you a clue by answering one of your questions.. The answer to one of your questions is YES! I know but that was only 1 meeting though. Just my opinion. I would like to see this top 5 1. Janowski 2. Woryna 3. C. Holder 4. J. Holder 5. B. Kurtz You might be lucky with 2 of those!!!!?

poolebolton Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think it's just a rumour flying around. I don't buy it for one second. Considering 2 weeks ago he said he wanted fix race nights because more GP riders I've had other people involved with Poole. That this is rubbish. It's a rumour flying around no evidence. Let's just see what happens. Let's see if we can still get in the top 4 this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
