I find it sad & insulting that Poole announced this during the league final. Almost like, look at us, we need attention after stuffing up the semi finals.

Hardly Poole's fault that the final was delayed?!  The announcement was timed to be just prior to a pre-AGM meeting!! And what 'attention' do you believe Poole received over and above the final? and from where?:blink:

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.

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.............??!!:o

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?

My point is it shouldn't be equal, it shouldn't have been mentioned at all. Anyway it's done now & like I said I wish you well for the future. Speedway moves on.

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!

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..'

:D

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 :drink:

Laughing? No, but smiling definitely yes as Rosco and Doyley as well as CFS are mates of mine!!

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?

That’s an awful team and those reserves wouldn’t get you many points.

true but dc2 is not a poole supporter wooden spoon team from him

 

OK, OK, how about:

R Worrall

Castagna

Newman

Busk Jacobsen

Wells

Stoneman

Hume

 

It’s just over 38 points but might fit with Brit reductions for the reserves?

 

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.

 

Happy Days!  :)

At least Shovlar will save £1 on his admission fee.  :)

I think the limit will be higher in the championship next season. 
 

Don’t think Josh G can ride championship at all though because he rides on a polish license.
