It's been at Poole before and the attendance hasn't been terrible but has the event been promoted properly? I didn’t even know it was on tonight at Poole until I saw Cook had pulled out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I guess the BSPA will continue to run this meeting until such time as they cant turn a profit on it. How times have changed from the days when riders had to battle hard to even get a place at Belle Vue for that end of season Finale. Really meant something to even get there, let alone win it. I guess thats the World of Speedway in The UK in 2018. Amazing what the punters are prepared to put up with these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes last in the final and because I said he blew the final I’m having a pop! Your a little bit to precious sweetie In the Aussie champs he blew every final and again he came last here. It’s not having a dig it’s just factual. What do you want me to say lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I found it a very boring event last night. Poor racing, a terribly dusty track for the last half dozen heats, while the first 8 heats were the same as Swindon on Monday with little to no passing. All played out in front of a small crowd. Only saw one visiting Swindon fan sitting behind us. Not sure how Gavan can say Brady blew the final. He was on one of the worst gates with the World champ on the best gate! I have to say the program was excellent though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbiter Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Waste of money when I saw the price I thought yeah ok whatever, that coupled to riders pulling out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) You had to be there to see why Brady finished last in the final and last in heat 17 if Brady had gate 1 or 2 in the final he may have just won it .some people just like knocking our team or rider's all the time sad really and the person knocking Brady hasn't said a word about josh performance ?

I've been a Poole supporter since the Sixties. I read this forum quite often, and get cheesed off at some attacking the poster. Gavan always comes in for a lot of criticism, as he chooses to make his opinions known about Poole. That is his choice, and I respect that. A "forum" means discussion. He raises many valid points, the majority of which have merit. If he gets his facts wrong, he admits it. I value his contributions, although it is apparent that many don't. As for Matt Ford Fan, I don't care who he is. I am interested in his contributions. Similarly, he raises many valuable points that I find worthy of discussion. gav 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
