Who granted them.. I thought Ford was going to fly in for home meetings.Looks like take the big crowds money, and keep the riders happy ,if Skidder is to be believed.. Something wrong here. Poole is a money maker for Ford. He has done a good job over the years ,because it has always been his interests. Now it might be not.

Any business priority is to keep the customers happy and trying to watch a meeting through dust clouds isn't keeping them happy, keeping riders happy is the priority apparently!

Ford wanting out and thinking of dollar maybe. Crock of sh@t. Best team in recent years, great record, not a lot of money spent lately, Don't give a crap for the fans.. I might be wrong and will be happy to be quoted. Edited April 20, 2019 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblueboy Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Was the bowser a mirage? If there are any changes to be made, would Camel Brzozowski fit. Would Wilson, Keppel and Betty be a more appealing heat leader trio? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson,_Keppel_and_Betty Edited April 20, 2019 by theblueboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byker Biker Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 22 hours ago, Skidder1 said: How about an apology from the riders who didn't want the track watered once racing started?! How about the SCB and their Referee get a grip and sort this issue out once and for all and if necessary hold up proceedings until it's sorted. If there is insufficient opportunity to prepare a decent track then postpone before the event and bowlocks to the Bank Holiday big crowd that boosts the coffers. They're saying that anyway by not watering adequately. Whoever walked that track before the meeting knew what was coming, the only reasonable excuse for dust is when rain is forecast around start time but nowhere near like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always prepare a track properly whether rain is forecast or not, if rains arrives and it’s heavy or prolonged it’s off anyway, if it doesn’t arrive or not as much as anticipated you get dust and everyone attending wears the track home. Tracks like Poole produced Friday are just not acceptable. Interesting that the match report mentions dust but no apologies to the paying customers. Pretty much sums up the managements consideration for the supporters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies are acceptable, if it’s a one off or beyond the promotions control. The fact that this is a regular issue is no more than lip service to the paying customer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyfan Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 If Wolverhampton don’t keep Nicholls, Poole should jump in quick, he’s on fire at the moment. And to think no Premiership team even went in for him in the close season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
