lisa-colette Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 9 minutes ago, Aces51 said: We don't know how many responses the club received so how meaningful the result is. If 70% is a true reflection off those who will attend CL meetings and the poll in the Echo may confirm that to be so, then to what extent will a 30% drop in crowd numbers, maybe paying less to get in, eat into the hoped for 25% cut in running costs? But how many of that 70% couldn't do Thurs? Anyway Sheffield prob want Thurs and Poole want Weds, swapping seems like a logical solution. And a team close-ish for BV!!

Ovalman Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) The death knell for Swindon crowdwise was when they went from Saturday to Thursday, then spending years scratching around outside the top league. Shame to see a famous club like Poole dropping down, not good for League speedway. Those eagerly awaited Knobs v Moonrakers clashes no more. Another derby gone.

I think people underestimate how much the majority of Poole fans need Weds nights back. Edit - I'm gutted we won't get Josh next year, but I'm not gonna say 'stay up' cos of one rider! Exactly that.

Aces51 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Remember the 1.5, or is it 1.6 next year, multiplier to convert PL averages to CL for riders without a current CL average. Richie Worrall could be a ready made CL no.1 for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to put into writing what you wanted. The echo poll came at a similar time to when it was announced we would be applying to drop down. I still think it's just Ford trying to get something to go his way.. More to this than meets the eye.. I will hold my hands up if i'm wrong and Poole do drop down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are many I have spoken to either. The question in the echo was loaded. And a third of Poole fans said no to that as well. A good percentage of fans will be lost if we ended up with someone like Harris or Worrall as a number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few people might be affected on any particular evening. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, It makes no difference. Midweek is midweek. Poole used to ride on Tuesdays in the NL. Had a good crowd on a Tuesday. Would we get a bigger crowd on a Sunday afternoon? Possibly but then some would say something else is a priority. I really believe Matt Ford announcing the club is up for sale affected crowd levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
