Aviator Posted November 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 3 hours ago, Skidder1 said: The site was closed down on the club's official website because too many were bad-mouthing speedway in general and Poole in particular and posted nothing other than negative comments which didn't go down too well with some of the club sponsors, as they felt it reflected badly on them!! Thats why the 'unnofficial' Poole fans forum was started. One thing you can't ever say about Starman is that he is negative about Poole!!! No, he just knows everything about everything, most of which is usually rubbish.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct Aviator, but a lot of the comments became abusive and far too personal, with nothing to do with speedway and shed a poor reflection on Poole Speedway itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 So no celebration for winning the league, ridiculous situation to be in really. Surely something should have been organised earlier 'in case' we won! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably cost Ford nothing at all.. It wouldn't of hurt to chuck a few quid and have a little get together at the stadium though. After all if its his last season at Poole, the supporters have lined his pockets for a long time and he may stand to cash out with several hundred grand.

One of the most overrated riders over here in recent history. Unless he is in a reserve berth he would struggle to match that average imho.

Not excusing him - just saying! When you’re in business you have to take the rough with the smooth and, any self respecting business will plan for that. It is unforgivable to “pledge” something (especially in a service industry) and then not deliver on it. I’m sure it won’t be overlooked by next years diminishing supporter base.
