I said this before, to have such a problem with a visa for work, must be a criminal matter. 

That's the only thing I can think of.

Maybe to do with his break up with his ex Mrs? I think it all started around that time?. I don't  know how it works tbh. 

Who knows, but it's very odd that a pro sportsman of his standard and former world number 1 can't work here..

Not sure making fun of a club who is struggling financially is the way to go but hey ho. 

It wasn't either when Coventry were going through their problems but it didn't stop some Poole supporters - hey ho!

Bald Bloke still think we are staying in PL?!!! 

As I had said before, i'll believe when it happens.

If you do drop down , I can't see how it will make much difference, if any myself.

Ford said it's 25% cheaper running CL.

If you loose 200 fans a meeting, that's £3,000 a meeting at £15 each.

Entry prices will go down. 1000 fans at £1 each, is another £1,000 a meeting.

Will you attract the same sponsor money, not being on TV ?

With the new TV deal, you will loose a chunk of money there as well.

I know Ford knows his stuff, but I think the 25% might be swallowed up if the above is anywhere near the mark ?

Maybe just my way of thinking is off?. Wont be long now and we will no for sure :)

That 25% saving is probably on riders’ wages alone (15% from replacing a PL number one with an NL reserve and 10% across the pay rates of the others).

But it does not take into account the reduced revenue from

no TV money,

lower crowds,

lower entrance fees,

less sponsorship and

less advertising.

Poole will just be chasing more losses.
