Pretty rotten for fans of northern clubs, hardly be more southern!! Always felt these things should be held at neutral venues personally. Sheffield was ideal, pretty central for most clubs and guaranteed good racetrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield not really central for southern clubs, would have to be a Midlands club like Wolves.

Be interesting to see what day it is on, if they have it on a Fri, Sat or Sun, people from a long distance can make a weekend of it seeing as it is a holiday destination.

Poole fans alone fill the stadium. Add in fans from Elsewhere and the stadium is capacity. A fair track that racers love and it should be a great event. And Trackerman on here now looks after the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah hadn't seen that part. But with both champ finals being Poole and Oxford bit harsh in the majority of fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I would say Glasgow had the GB test match and that isn't very central either, so I think it is only fair that a Southern club gets an event as well. Be it us or Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Ideally you'd want it somewhere more in the middle of the UK but it is what it is, get it streamed for those unable to attend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, can't say I have looked into the Glasgow owners too deeply! Poole have hosted the Prem one a few times and seem to be well attended. But I guess there are more northern teams in the Champ, we shall see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the reason why we have held test matches last 2 seasons and assume look to hold one next season too. Pairs might be ok as night before Cardiff and Somerset was always well attended. As a stand alone meeting, obviously be well attended by home fans but not the only thought in these decisions. Of course we don't know who else volunteered to hold it if anyone so there's that as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole could have also drawn the short straw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that was always good imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you will discover Poole is the gateway to the world renowned Jurassic Coast, and along with Bournemouth is the UK’s premier holiday resort with 7 miles of golden sands. A mecca for the rich, with lots of famous sports stars past and present living here. A beautiful area that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. (Sometimes way too many as was seen in tv last year) Hardly the arse end of nowhere, considering we are just 90 minutes from London. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
