Is that another one of the rumours the anti Poole brigade spew out as truth? Yet the winner of tonights meeting walks away with ten grand. It’s strange he cannot afford team suits yet can give away such a large sum on a whim. Perhaps, just perhaps, he can actually afford team suits but has decided he doesn’t want them this season. But that answer probably won’t fit in with the anti Poole brigade. It’s nowt to do with hating Poole or the “anti Poole brigade” as you call it. It’s about making the sport look professional. Wearing racesuits is a step in that direction as Poole riders are in a “team”. I’ll say the same to Somerset as well. If teams in the championship & NL can why can’t teams in two top flight? Imagine how it’s going to look on TV. I think that’s the main issues most fans have. Edited March 23, 2018 by hyabb17 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself believe all teams should wear race suits. Edited March 23, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I personally like team suits and don’t understand why we haven’t got them. Its not a financial issue. Certainly riders are easier to identify without suits but believe a team should look like a team in league meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already so far behind the times. 70th Anniversary meetings in speedway are so 1998. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for wanting to watch your teams on a regular basis, doesnt bother me in the slightest. I live in a city where there is top sports events on nearly a daily basis, missing speedway once a week doesnt bother me as it didnt for the three or four years I didnt bother with it before I left for Australia. Sidney is always the one who mentions me in australia, not me. Sad that he is a middle aged geezer who stacks shelves for a living yet has a pop at my life. Id chose my life over his every day of the week. Believe it or not i quite admire you for having the balls to move away and make a different life for yourself fair play to you.But personally i don't stack shelves but as i have said before nowt wrong with that every job is important.Look maybe i took the banter to far but going back to Ford your points are valid but morally the Kildemand move is so wrong.When they have that meeting in Tennerife do the promoters work together ? do they want to make the sport better or are they individuals who only care themselves and not about the sport as a whole and they will use any loophole to get an advantage.

Steve Shovlar Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Have to say the improvement in the social media and general news side of the club has improved dramatically. Twitter, facebook, website and now instagram being used to put the message out. Speedway portal also putting out good quality footage on a regular basis.
