Steve Shovlar Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I recall this. So many Poole fans made the trip up, possibly outnumbering the locals. Some good racing as well if I remember. One to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersub Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Yep I was there having gone up on coach with Andy Wilson, John Stokes & we couldn’t get a drink when the match finished, quite early as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 So many messages on Poole Speedway's social media platforms regarding the passing of Gordon Day yesterday. Tributes from promoters, managers, riders, journos, sponsors, mechanics and of course the fans from many clubs from all around the world.. Sadly missed. Rest in Peace Gordy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 A very sad loss. Such a nice chap. Hopefully a lovely tribute to Gordy will be coming when speedway returns to Wimborne Road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pints Or Points ? Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 So with news that Greyhound racing around the stadium has ceased is it still viable as a sporting venue when possibly only used for less than 20 speedway meetings per year - You could get a heck of a lot of flats on the stadium plot ..... or a substantial supermarket !! And rest assured if we ever come out of the other side of this pandemic the local council will almost definitely be looking to bolster its dwindling coffers and if its a contest of selling the plot against a handful of days rent per annum well that’s not much of a contest is it ?

Yes, I thought the agreement with Poole Council was that you had to have both greyhounds and speedway running. You couldn't have just have one or the other. Though it may have just been to stop the greyhounds trying to kick speedway out? Unsure how the council are going to play this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only ceased until they can reopen with a public crowd. - "Poole Greyhound Stadium closed until further notice, until public is allowed to attend" They can't run at Poole behind closed doors due to the financial loss involved.

Rumours of Poole town looking at a return, could be a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
