More than what we have anyway. As my 11 yo would say 'i am sure he is trying his best..' Anders Rowe could get a max against Kings Lynn at the moment!

Cast1rn Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Ooh Roynon 0.38 short for Tate, but never mind he'll only be getting 3 heats when the power houses of Birmingham Edinburgh and Berwick come to town to bump that up.

Zach is scoring well for Poole and Wolverhampton. The Poole Captain is only scoring well for Wolverhampton!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve always says how much he likes riding at 3 and feel Ben would ride better with the reserves imo. Though it would mean splitting up the Cook partnership You would assume most heat leaders would prefer riding at 3 to avoid the difficult heat 13 (helping their earnings) they could try Ben at 5 at home & Steve at 5 away? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 No keep the Cooks together. Steve to 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Article on Dorset Live from Matt Ford. Has confirmed Poole certain to run in 2024 and fans should enjoy this season and next. No certainty for 2025 or beyond. Very frank words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlords can be so fickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidder1 Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Reading the whole article rather than just the headline, Matt Ford expects to continue for at least the next 2 years! The future of Poole Stadium will unlikely be decided until late 2024 at the earliest. Thereafter if its then announced that the site is to become housing it will take at least a year - probably longer - to deal with all the protests, approve a scheme and price, agree a developer/builder etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No certainty" beyond end of 2024. 2023 and 2024 he asks fans to "enjoy" as there is no certainty beyond that. It may well be a window could open for 2025 but give people credit for having read the whole article about which Matt Ford HAS BEEN incredibly frank!

Having worked for BCP Council (which is now under a new administration) for over 16 years, I have some understanding of how the forward-planning for major schemes works. BCP have inherited from the previous administration a 'Local Plan' for the 'regeneration of Poole Town Centre', which currently does NOT mention Poole Stadium at all - except for an earlier suggestion about building on the part of Wimborne Road which backs onto the Stadium Lorry Park. Also there is no developer proposal lodged with the Council's Planning department, quite apart from no agreed sale of the whole Stadium site!! Such an agreement and proposal would be subject to a huge public consultation for which there would be considerable objections IMO even if all those objections were to be overcome and any stadium development for housing were to proceed, it would take a minimum of several years to reach fruition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a local council and have dealings with the Planning team and I concur with the above If anything, I'd say 'several years' is possibly a little optimistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true see Arena Essex. As with Arena though there is absolutely no certainty that speedway could/will continue whilst it all plays out.
