Steve Shovlar Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 3 minutes ago, Jaizer said: Glasgow and Edinburgh ride on the same night. Friday is our race night. And do you really think Glasgow have any say over the Edinburgh promoter who does the fixtures. Usual BS we've come to expect 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. Think of the environment and All that carbon saved from being pumped into the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As crescent girl said it was done with Newport because they brought hundred of fans. Sure if you fill 10 buses and approach the facennas they'll be all ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Just now, crescent girl said: What a twit you are! (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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 1 hour ago, 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? 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...
Bagpuss Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 And there you have it, if anyone is unaware of why Poole are disliked then have a read of the last few pages. Wind up or not. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a beautiful part of the country too. I admire their winning mentality.... We all want to beat Poole ...it's healthy competition IMO! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it virtually every season for the last 20 years. 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...
