Interesting too to find out that he only took up speedway in his mid 20s after a successful MX career. He's had one season in UK and done as well most could have expected. Christ knows what flak he'd have had to take from Poole fans if he'd actually have been accused of something serious and faced serious charges in Court after arriving from Australia and bringing shame on himself and the sport. . Strange world where money and favour rules. I take it you're on about Darcy Ward, why bring something up that happened over 7 years ago, something that he was cleared of by the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had an issue with anyone on here - agree or disagree - treat and treated with respect. Then one day challenged something about Poole Then it starts drip drip drip, the name calling, the false accusations , the bullying, the attacks. Some people lie down and curl up and run away, just like the bullies want. Some of us stand up and give a bit back, Guess what - the Bullies don't like it. Be interesting to meet some of you bullies one day and have a frank discussion. See how brave you are then. I'll bring a few of my Front Row Vets XV mates with me. We can have a nice chat and a pint or 10. I don't understand this 'bullying' thing. How can it be 'bullying' when one is merely presenting true, factual information to contradict the falsehoods being spread by others?

But thanks to the usual suspects, particularly HGould, Poole have romped ahead and are currently 125-122. So the Poole promotion and it’s supporters should give a big clap to HGould for helping to promote the Pirates. It seems everyone’s a Pirate at heart…..or wish they were! I look forward to my annual visit to Ashfield where the welcome is always warm and friendly. Meanwhile my last 2 visits to Poole, and my last ever ruined by abuse for sitting in a Unreserved seat that various bone heads didn't want a speedway fan to sit in and then disgusting cheering whilst an opposition rider was carried off.

If they sign for Poole, there is a good chance of a lot more meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives Poole fans a reason to have a mini northern break, saves riders two journeys to Scotland in two weeks, costing lots in time and fuel. A shames as it’s a missed opportunity.

Merely pointing out , given that others including Poole fans raised the issue of ZK once again, that his 2021 record was VERY COMPARABLE with both Cooks and especially the one he outperformed in the same team for most of the year including when he smashed a Track record held and challenged by such established riders as Craig Cook, Richard Lawson and Ben Barker and now by Richie Worrall. To be comparable to those at that venue clearly indicates wouldn't you say that he is far better than the complete waste of time and space some of you bullies are making him out to be. Your point in the context of the number Poole comments on ZK are hypocrisy with a capital H! He may well of out performed him, but which one has moved up a level now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only a missed opportunity if both teams have a full 1-7. I believe all Glasgow's home meetings are on Fridays - even when clashing with Edinburgh. Also don't forget Poole's 2 senior riders also have Polish commitments this year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes why can't Glasgow and Edinburgh bow to the mighty pirates and they can have a fixture list tailor made to suit them, possibly with a bit of flexibility the rest of the league could let Poole pick their own fixture list and the rest of us fit in around it. Maybe the position on the mc has been abused to often hence the 40pt limit and one or two other things that are coming to light that is not to the liking of the not so special one 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newport's Northern tours were always Glasgow thursday, Edinburgh friday and Berwick saturday. Glasgow used to switch from Sunday afternoon to Thursday evening to accommodate us so yes its fair to say with a bit of common sense fixtures could of been rejigged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow have 4 riders and Poole have 2 that have other weekend (Sat/Sun) commitments. That's why no Sunday meetings are an option at this stage.

In these happy days, the Wasps would bring over 250 travelling fans north! A bit different to Poole's current small band of camp-followers, and certainly not worth switching off a regular Friday night at either Ashfield or Armadale for...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many miles is it from Poole to up North and I seem to remember the Berwick and Edinburgh away meetings being streamed on BSN, so prob affected some of the numbers I don't recall many Glasgow or Berwick fans at Poole. Edinburgh fans seem to attend in numbers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Poole always pay their riders on time so money no object. Plymouth have to make a one of trip to Glasgow aswell and we are further away than Poole are,so stop whinging.

Friday is our race night. And do you really think Glasgow have any say over the Edinburgh promoter who does the fixtures.
