Gaming International - not Poole Speedway - charged £2.50 per car on speedway nights. They run the car park on behalf of the Council as part of the stadium lease. The car park is used for office workers, shoppers and hospital workers during the day. Edited December 30, 2021 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 So seeing a paragraph on the Speedway Star website on the Basso interview, seems there is going to be no war of words or falling out. Pretty much said Poole were good to him and has no problem with the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it the lease holders(Osbourne-Clarke) that get the money? Surely the greyhound people are similar to yourselves, a 3rd party? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could use one of those 10ft high nutcrackers he has outside the chateau as a boat for one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Browsing on championship pages, noticed that someone on Redcar thread wishes that Glasgow and Poole should both move up as we are stinking out the championship with our desperation to win at all costs, although Glasgow haven't won league since 2011 and KO cup 2016. We are the 2 most hated teams in British speedway, jealousy is a terrible thing. Looking forward to our rivalry next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They paid riders on time without fail, and yes initially they overpaid to get riders to come , as the travelling was an issue, but since the guarantee with a previous rider who let us down on numerous occasions, we no longer give guarantees, riders are paid on performance. Glasgow were not the top payers in the league. We are just trying to raise the profile of speedway nationally. I hope no more teams are lost. Happy new year to all speedway fans and all clubs, hope we can get rid of this covid virus and get back to some sort of normality. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worse for us in the Premiership! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
