However Poole's success is to the detriment of the rest of the league not least their balance sheets! you seem to know more about the finances of poole speedway .so could you let us know what the situation is we loved to know ?

GiveusaB Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 The sport would be far worse off if there was no 'Poole' speedway! The title of the topic may be better worded if it read 'Why are a lot of forum members envious of Poole Speedway' ? Personally, I don't do 'Envy'! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenMiller Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 The heat at Brandon was certainly way up whenever Poole were the visitors ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I do not hate Poole in fact Poole were one of my favourite clubs as my Favourite rider of all time Brian Crutcher came from there. The dislike some people have for them comes from the perceived antics of latter day management 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbw Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Everything about the Poole Pirates oozes success & I travel as much as I can from my Derbyshire home to support them. I was once asked why I support them considering where I live, simple answer is that they win things. So hate/love em .......I love em! #piratepride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I used the word hate is simply because that's what I've heard from fans . It's not my opinion I really couldn't care how well Poole do. But when Poole came Leicester I was speaking to fans from Leicester, Wolverhampton, Peterborough etc and the word hate was used alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur54 Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 We are hated because we can't stop winning, we collected trophys in the old National league days, we collected trophys in the Premier league and it has carried on into the championship, Poole are just a trophy winning machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 'everybody' hated them anyway or do now, but they are a team people like to beat. And of course they have the best wind up merchant on the forum in their ranks Cleared off, I think you will find although out of the country he still has his finger firmly on the pulse and his puppet on the BSPL board of directors. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the appointment of Junior to replace the old man was one of those moves that you'd more associate with Boris Johnson. Does anyone know was there a ballot, were any other promoters given a chance to apply, or did senior just proxy his position to the puppet?
