The riders shouldn't have been granted their wishes, most of our team rode they didn't want to be there anyway. 

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.

After how some of their fans behave its comical to see such a poor start from Poole again but then need to remember what happened last season!

 

I don’t think there are enough riders available and willing to ride for Poole - on a budget!

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.

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.

Apologies were given over the tannoy.

skidder youve got to stop trying to defend the indefensible, youve got to be honest and admit it was disgusting,the people that will presumably look for credit when things go well must have the  nuts to take and admit  responsibilty for the "cock up"Spoke to two significant sponsors in the last 48 hrs both totally disgusted,one says he went into the pits to ask middlo who won heat 13 cause he couldnt see!!them and me will all be at the next meeting,thats what we do! but if certain people put their hands up and were honest it would have helped

And yet Poole keep winning title after title after title. Go figure.

Before 2017 Swindon didn't win there for 8 years. Obviously since thenThe Poirates haven't been as strong without The Turbo Twins, and the title winners. of 2013/4/5
