The dog track was on the outside, then the speedway track, then the football, they used to make the corners with pallets with grass on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike0310 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Is that what it was Arthur I played on it and never new, just out if interest why did the football club move from Wimborne road I’ve got in my mind the original team folded but I could be way off the mark with that.

I think they got booted out by stadia UK, they still play just up the road at the Tatnam, would love it if they could move back to the stadium, makes perfect sense now the dogs have gone, that way the stadium is used all year round, not rocket science is it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 The football club have big ambitions for eventually the Football League????? If they ever get close to it, Poole Stadium would not be acceptable and would need a total revamp as a number of things do not meet FL minimum requirements. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get a 5-1 in heat 2 and 8 I will be very surprised, reserves win meetings and we have in my opinion the best although I can't see Kyle being at reserve for too long. Don't forget Dan Gilkes will be in heat 8! Also Kyle can't move into the team until July at the earliest!

I read somewhere that Adam Roynon watched a load of Darcy Ward's races at Poole on YT as he said he didn't have a lot of experience of the Poole track. Maybe Jake should do the same unless he has done that already. Darcy's second bend cutback was always a good move I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meant as a comparison. Watching videos helped him have a good debut though it seems. Lewy still bitter he didn't choose Plymouth!

If people are bashing Roynon based in the fact he can't do what Darcy could do on a bike, then they'll need to bash every rider in the Championship! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Race day update: Slight rain shower first thing this morning, now bright and breezy with sunshine forecast later. For anybody travelling from the East/North, please avoid the major road closures around the Tower Park routes! Even the alternatives are beset with other roadworks so leave extra travelling time!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
