And what 'attention' do you believe Poole received over and above the final? and from where? Edited October 18, 2019 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have delayed the announcement so I fail too see your point. You like I know that it's been all over the speedway websites when what should be talked about is a final. Plain & simple. I do wish Poole well for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) If they had delayed the official announcement, it would have 'leaked out' from somewhere within the BSPA in any case. Far better to get ahead of it than have to respond to someone else leaking it - standard PR really! Didn't hear Nigel and Kelvin make any mention of it last night - although I did miss several heats after falling asleep!! Our local Echo even carried a report on the Ipswich/Swindon first leg. Just a shame that next season the Premiership Shield will have to be a slightly convaluted match up involving Swindon and.............??!!

Think you are being a bit OTT, I did think this at first, but yesterday on here and across social media, it was pretty much equal with the attention given to both situations. If the final was in the balance then I would have sympathy with you but not much to say about it pre meeting was there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway it's done now & like I said I wish you well for the future. Speedway moves on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it not have been mentioned before when it has been the subject of much discussion amongst Poole's fans and sponsors for days if not weeks? It was timed to be announced after the final had taken place to co-incide with a BSPA meeting. As I said its not Poole's fault that the Final was delayed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Maybe Swindon should email all clubs 'no talking about your club when we have a meeting on..' I mean it's not like there was much to say about the playoff final was there?... 'I think Swindon will win..' ' Oh really?....yeah I think Swindon will win too' 'No hang on a min, I think Swindon will win..' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convenient though......did it get a mention on BT last night? I haven''t watched the recording yet but an audience of 100-150k watching at home, rather than the 10-20k regular speedway fans that follow the sport closely and would have seen the news already on social media or other Internet outlets, if it did get a mention then I'm with Hyabb it achieved Ford's goal of getting poor old Poole's plight out to a wider number and took away the spotlight from the all conquering Robins. By the way you still laughing? back in June when I said we'd all be hailing King Rosco come the end of the season after the usual pessimists were bemoaning another away defeat, you put up a laughing emoji.....he who laughs last and all that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) Josh G Castagna Newman Busk Jacobsen Wells Tom Woolley Nathan Stoneman Pretty good Championship team for Poole? Hang on, Josh G would be 11.66 on a 1.6 conversion, so might have to replace him with Richie Worrall? Does that team fit 38 points?

Fact is, you don’t get much quality in the CL, especially with Josh G, Klindt, Kurtz and Holder not having current CL averages and consequently being subject to the ludicrous 1.6 conversion rate.

Don’t think Josh G can ride championship at all though because he rides on a polish license. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
