Yes maybe I do get too involved and the posts are sometimes long, but sometimes a post needs explaining hence why some do go on a bit. Will keep short in future in the hope that some engage in sensible response like you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icicle Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yes but quantity does not always tally with quality. A large %age may be (& in this case is), total drivel &/or bitching attacks & in-fighting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However even if you strip all that out (incl similar on other teams posts), think you will find Poole still way out in front on posts read/replied.

Dont worry about it Steve, think of it the same as if you are applying for a job, the employer will turn his nose up at an appllicant who writes a book. 4-5-6 sentances long is fine, otherwise you might confuse some of the dears on here.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we all agree on one thing. Speedway needs some major surgery and replanning on how it goes forward or it really will die. Hopefully something can still be salvaged even if not at the top level of Poland. Let's hope Matt doesn't walk away as we need visionaries like him. If he goes then we really will see problems.

Another view is maybe other fans don't participate in as much inane drivel, that has nothing to do with speedway as Poole ? Is that a possibility ?

To be fair, Starry, you confuse us with four or five words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes then we really will see problems. So, the “visionary” Matt Ford walks away and we see problems; surely that means we are all visionaries or he has been pulling the wool over our eyes? Hmmmm sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing wrong with friendly banter as none of us want it to be too serious on here. Some of the comments are partly true though. There seem plenty who only use the forum for the sake of having a go or being rude with snide comments. To be honest since I joined nearly 2 years ago I am becoming disillusioned with the Forum in general. I made the mistake of still thinking there was sensible debate to be had and an exchange of views on the team where we can take the sport forward to help it survive. It seems the majority don't see to give a toss and certainly don't want to engage in sensible discussion. Yet they are only to willing to indulge and keep indulging in petty snipes and insults as if they have nothing better to fill their day. Many of whom obviously retired with nothing to contribute. Apologies in advance to the minority who do engage in sensible discussion, especially Poole which is my main Speedway interest. An example last week where I did an in depth post on Poole 2018 about MY views on a way forward. From memory - Not one like or anything as a dislike. In fact I can't remember one view as to a constructive alternative to a way forward other than I think one poster rolled out the old chestnut of not enough riders. Believe me with 5 main riders and say 2 N/L riders per team there probably would be or even if we went with 6 man teams incl using N/L riders. Anyway think I will keep my views on the future of the sport to myself in future and let's just see which direction (if any) the sport takes.
