And do you really think Glasgow have any say over the Edinburgh promoter who does the fixtures. Usual BS we've come to expect Expand If there’s no clash with riders, and Glasgow have no issue with riding on a Thursday, then it would make sense to move the fixture to the day before the Edinburgh fixture.

(Forum police changed "a" for "i" there) You really think Glasgow (or Edinburgh) should move off their regular racenight, causing inconvenience and lack of continuity for their regular public, to serve the convenience of you and a couple of your pals taking a jolly boys outing? Oh, and maybe you forget that Thursday is reserved for the Premiership -- won't your paid-on-time Pirates be racing for their real clubs that night?

LisaColette Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 On 1/12/2023 at 8:55 PM, Steve Shovlar said: I should imagine that northern teams will be riding at Plymouth the night before they come to Poole. So when Glasgow are due on 5th July, swap the fixture with Birmingham coming instead, and put Glasgow back to the 19th July. That way they can make two long journeys down to the south coast in a couple of weeks. Sounds fair as that’s what Glasgow want Poole to do, right? Expand I'd say it hurt Glasgow more if we don't let them come down in July, considering they have two Dane's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it virtually every season for the last 20 years. Expand Sure, a part of it is definitely envy. Who wouldn't want to win the trophies that Poole have over the last 20 years or so? But a big part of it is also the way the club and the fans conduct themselves. There are plenty of examples of successful teams in sports that weren't universally hated because they (and their fans) acted with respect. (I'm not saying every Poole fan is like this, there are some good eggs on here - you know who you are) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
