Costs will be cut .. which at this point in Speedway is required. The championship leagues seems a more viable stable option , and I believe promoted right the correct way to go. Commercially it is a more interesting league from a sponsorship viewpoint.The sponsorship can be sold , at a more economical price. More of them at a more viable price..Relying on a large main sponsor whilst good is also as proven not always a good thing, especially in this current economic climate. The club would be able to link to the current crop of sdl/mdl riders and bring riders through the ranks at reserve level. It worked under stewkesbury back in the day, and I feel actually it was more entertaining. Anyway just my thoughts excellent post anyway welcome to the forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was laid out for over two weeks in bed and affected for well over a month Totally exhausted before slowly recovering. It is true to say that line that if a 50 pound note had Wafted past my bedroom window I would not have got up to pick it up. It really can be a life threatening illness for the weak and elderly. If a jabs available for free from the doctor don’t hesitate IMO. Sorry you had this awful experience and if you are happy to have the Flu jab then that's your choice and I would probably change my mind if I had the same happen to me. I am definitely elderly but not weak ~ probably due to the fact I am out every day in the fresh air so don't really come into contact with anyones germs like if I worked in a hospital, school etc. Obviously doctors are going to push people to have the jab as they are being paid by the government but the text reminders I have on my phone are just deleted. Fingers crossed now that I get through another Winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is wrong with being old ? Obviously taking over from SCB who was always going on about old people. I'd rather be old than have a mind like his. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMessiahOfTheBSF Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 20 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Yes you are right. I was a bit quick off the mark and very disappointed to read and hear there was a risk of us dropping down. Hasty is the right word. I have always much preferred the highest quality racing, as I prefer top league football. I went to Swindon Town v Newport recently and what a load of crap that was. I did enjoy Poole when they were in the NL as I didn’t have anything to compare it with. But the sport has changed completely from the 1990’s. And when we moved up the racing was just so much better. I might not feel like it now but if Poole do drop down, by March I will probably trundle down the road to the stadium. It’s in the blood. That's the spirit.

The Dog Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Regarding rumours of Poole dropping down a league, as great as it would be for the Championship, Poole are a club geared up for the top league and need to be in it in my opinion, but if they do drop then that might just be the massive wake-up call the authorities need to see which way our great sport is heading. Lets hope it doesn't come to this tho 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope it doesn't come to this tho Poole, sadly, are no longer geared up for the top league. When income and sponsorship was on a high, it was wasted. We are now facing a dilemma and, to move to a much larger league (not made up of superstars) might just give us better speedway on a more regular basis. Hopefully the idiots at the “top” will also put an end of September end date on the season and give us a break that drives the season back into the spring and summer, instead of this autumn rubbish that they currently dish up!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
