Expand No it's not a nice comment. I know what it is like to lose your speedway team but sadly there were a number of Poole supporters on this forum who enjoyed watching Coventry's demise. You were certainly not one of them but it is hardly surprising that you are getting some of these responses now. Poole won't be missed that much because they never did have large number of travelling fans but every PL team being lost to the league is a huge blow to the sport. I sincerely hope you have a successful season in the Championship and I hope the team/club continues for many years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Thankyou, personally I am very sad that Coventry speedway is lost, I very much enjoyed my trips to Brandon including the times when it hosted the GP, seeing AJ rip between Adams and T Rick was a sight to behold. As a fan who does travel to a lot of away tracks, it is certainly something else I will miss as I doubt I will travel as much to Championship tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that the renovations will be mainly complete by February I can’t see how that affects the finances of the club which doesn’t start until March/April. Also both are separate legal entities so one does not affect the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squall Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Absolutely amazing. A championship team reaches 106 pages on a thread in the premiership section. Think a few need to let it go and move down to where they belong. Otherwise jump across to support Swindon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
