SteveLyric2 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Just as a matter of interest, has anyone actually confirmed it was a Poole mechanic/official that spilled the oil on the track? Just asking................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking................ Expand I thought we had moved on from that subject Skidder and now your surfacing it again!!! Quite why, I don’t know. However, I know most of the mechanics and can confirm it wasn’t any of them. I can also confirm it wasn’t Matthew Ford as he doesn’t get his hands dirty. Also the oil on the track was too dirty to be speedway engine oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Gavans gone back into mute mode, wonder why?? You must be honest.... the Poole threads are a lot better without him on them. Plenty of banter and a bit of mud slinging but not his usual garbage which is good to see. Maybe the mods could look at banning him from the Premiership section only, leaving him free to post in the Ipswich topics? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes things could be improved, but you need the man power and the time. And the money. Expand 24/7 is a grossly overused phrase Starman and I don’t personally recall that you keep saying what you’ve said above. However, Poole has lacked reinvestment in the facilities over the last few years and that was one of the reasons I withdrew sponsorship of the club. I was fed up with poor PA systems, an infield start post that looked like the leaning tower of pizza and a track that caused a number of rider injuries. Thankfully, most of those issues have been rectified and we now have a facility that is reasonable (including the track). Hopefully the promoter has learned from his experiences of the last couple of years and, in particular the early part of the season and seen the results (in terms of increased supporter numbers) of some reinvestment. He should not rest, there is more to be done and in the world of “marginal gains” every little helps. Let’s not forget, the club is “owned” by the supporters. The promoter simply makes money from the business that the supporters bring through the gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
