I must admit I thought in might be a good idea to drop down more teams more meetings I am not sure that is correct .I am a little disappointed about the whole thing to be honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I can see is one asking if people would watch Poole in the Championship. That is not an indication of whether or not they prefer it. If this was the only poll, the fans have been stitched up by a loaded question that doesn't let them give an opinion on which they prefer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford isn't stupid. It's worded in a way that fools the BSPA into thinking it's serious... and in a way it can be got out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the glory days of the top riders coming back will return, perhaps not. As long as the sport survives I'm happy. Shame Ford hasn't take that attitude during his reign.

If he wants to move down then let him do it I say. Poole want the one thing Buster can't give. Weds nights. They did more than just poll results. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Tbh I think having the club safe and financially secure is more important than watching Doyle 3/4 times a year. 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!

Aces51 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 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?
