In a racehorse handicap, if you have 10lb between top and bottom over 7f on decent grd the lightlyhood being they should all finish in a heap If you have a simular senirio of the averages you will get a simular result.

It’s my opinion based on the side or an atypical side Poole will put out. I don’t need to see the actual side you are putting out. What difference will that make! You forget, that people aren’t going against better sides but suddenly with a team in the Championship they will hold up or improve. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that will make me go ‘Wow, I was wrong. That was a good decision by the Pirates to go to the Championship’ Edited November 17, 2019 by theblueboy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what do you base that assertion? In the CL you have 2 pointers racing against a 10 pointer (Craig Cook). In the PL you have 3 pointers racing against a 9 pointer (Jason Doyle).

I well remember the last time Poole were in similar league and yes I know it's different now but it's all about the regular racing on our preferred racenight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediman Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Everyone looks at things differently . For me at least we have speedway . The club was up for sale and nobody came in , as a sponsor for a few years now I could not see a way of making it work and I completely understand why Matt decided to open up a new business opportunity, however he could have just closed it down but didn’t giving us fans a chance to watch the sport we love. Now it’s up to us to support it or if we don’t then accept it could be the last we see of it. the sad thing is that the sport as a whole needs a revamp or the closure of clubs will continue. whoever you support just keep it up Save our Speedway 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering how much money Poole lost last year and then you tell Poole fans they shouldn't bother going?? I hope Swindon don't have a year like that, otherwise they would be completely screwed!

With how Poole fans drop off when they ain't at the top of the league, I wonder how many will support you in div 2. It has to be no more than 25%.

In the 'eighties, the Fearman regime had ground the (big league) club into the ground, the track was awful and entertainment nil. They folded, in came Stewkesbury & Ansell with their National League (as was) competition, racing was close and going to Wimborne Road became a pleasure, not a chore. And the Pirates are still sailing! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad about his dad but surely you need a 100% commited team manager and im sure these outside issues (dad/business) will affect Muddlo so he should do the right thing and step aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
