Poole 2018


Recommended Posts

Not sure if the new media company working on Matt Fords behalf is doing this but I have noticed that even in these dark depths of winter the club are putting out news on twitter and other social media on virtually a daily basis. Matt has never been one for the net so perhaps he is finally grasping the bull by the horns and starting to exploit its potential.

Also hearing the pop up shop has been a huge success in the Dolphin Centre. I said years ago that the club should have a permanent presence in the high street. A well positioned cafe/bistro serving good quality drinks and food tied in with large screen tvs showing Poole speedway meetings from the last couple of years, and selling merch and tickets. A good meeting place for shoppers and putting Poole Speedway in front and center of Joes Publics eyes.

Likewise,  wouldn't wish ill health on anyone.  Having gone thru a health trauma some years ago I know how tough things can be. 

Can only echo the get well messages of others too.

At the end of the day it doesnt matter what you think of someone you wouldnt wish ill health on them. The guy isnt a murderer or a criminal, he just a bit out there with his posts. Hope he gets better soon.

I was struck down with strep 'a' pneumonia in November 2013 and ended up in a coma for 4 weeks and my wife was told twice to come and say goodbye. But i got back to full health and hope the same for Starman.

It was the time when my work colleagues changed my picture to Lily Savage and started a topic that speedway needed more corners! All done in jest but i left the Lily pic!

Well done!!!!! to you lot. I'm very proud of the Speedway fraternity. Some of you dish out some personal garbage, but when one of its own hits a bad time, everyone rallys around and for that, you've revived my faith in this Forum. Get well soon Starry and look forward to seeing you selling the STAR around Wimborne Road.

Great post and speedway has made me meet some great people over the years and make some great  friends speedway has so much going for it .This forum has shown with there concern for Mike that we have a terrific speedway cummunity and fingers crossed Starman is back well anough to watch his beloved Pirates come the start of 2018 season.

I've known Mike ( Starman ) since the late 70's and I also know he has a heart of gold when he feels he can help someone out.

Get well soon mate:cheers:

I met Starry some years back now when the Bees were visiting Poole. A very different guy when you meet him. He certainly knows how to wind people up on here though.

Best wishes Mike, hope to see you back causing trouble soon :P ;)

Starman!!

 

Before posting this, may I request only comments of a very respectful nature!  I know many have expressed their opinions about Starman and his posts in the past but would ask at least on this occasion they remain polite.

Starman's mum has today advised on one of the (many)Poole threads on Facebook that Starman is currently in Poole Hospital having been diagnosed with a (non-cancerous) brain tumour!

She doesn't go into any further detail about the prognosis, but will pass on good wishes from any Speedway fans.

 

Get well soon Starry.

Just a quick update (from Facebook) from Starman's Mum, June - Mike has now been moved to ward c4 in Poole Hospital.

She also thanks all BSF members for their good wishes.:D

Matt Ford on BBC Radio Solent this evening (albeit the interview was recorded earlier)  said he's still hit the 'stumbling block' with one potential rider   He is now seeking others which will depend on the confirmation of the Polish relaxation of their 'maximum 3 league' rule'

James Shanes cannot definitely be confirmed until the 'top end' has been finalized.

 

Expect one more rider announcement before Christmas!
