Now they pull out. Don’t care who is right or wrong or who said what and when. The fact is this is a huge stinking pile of cow muck. Not surprised it’s gone like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Wow. Its all got a bit deep hasn't it?! Judging by Poole's trophy cabinet it looks very much like the ambition is still to win every competition Poole are in - whether it be Matt's or Danny's ambition? Or both?! As well as to make a profit. Trophy-winning teams, very decent sponsorship and continued strong attendances on your chosen preferred racenight are a great business model. So why change it......?

I didn't agree with you coming to join the Prem party. But once you were invited, i thought that Ford would of wanted to give his many loyal fans a treat, with the chance of seeing some top riders. I guess calculator said no.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems nobody wants to put their head above the parapet and take on the chairman's job, including your Promotor. I think you will find current chairman runs a speedway club that does not go beyond its financial commitments. He also runs a thriving garage business. Lastly the back end of Lincolnshire must be over the border, since the EWR is in a completely different county of North Lincolnshire. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly clive ,as you say the ambition is to win the competition they're in,not the top competition ,that would be ambition.I fully understand all the reasons for staying where they are and if it was my decision I would do the same however going back I don't think matt would have been content with lower league speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also very involved in the successful 'Save Coventry' appeal hearing as potential promoter/co-promoter of speedway which he stated would return at Championship level. Anyway changing the subject, the Poole R.E.F. are holding a quiz night on Weds 15th Jan at Broadstone Royal British Legion Club. Special guests will be William Cairns and his father who are travelling down from Aylesbury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
