i've already seem plenty of carthorses on the pitch

[url=http://www.beverleypoloclub.co.uk/Yes there is![/url

well to be pedantic, its actually in tickton, but yeah its been there for over 10 years. also one just outside mkt weighton on the north cliffe road (well to be even more pedantic its not exactly on the road, that would just be dangerous)

I bet it will be packed out, horses and anything horsey are huge hobbies in our area. Maybe not in the of Hull but head out into the East Riding and there are stables everywhere.

don't introduce knowledge and logic, it confuses the thick people

you'd be surprised at how many people who do horsey things are not in the least bit interested in polo, equestrian events yes, Polo, very much in the minority even in the dedicated horse world.

TBF if the pitch is going to be ripped up then it's an ideal time to host it, if they get more than a thousand paying punters I'd be surprised.

The thing I'm curious about is how many people would need to come through so it isn't a loss, or is that another part of Allam's ploy to run the SMC at a paper 'loss' year in year out?

I'd suggest that the little profits in the past and 'losses' of more recent times are entirely due to very effective accounting to the huge benefit of the owners of SMC and certainly no-one else.

It is free to get in.

see you there !! tally ho !!

So it is going to be another deliberate loss making venture then..no wonder they can't afford to put paint over the rusty bits of the stadium

Has anyone thought about the under pitch heating elements/pipes which l can't think will will be buried very deeply.ponies turning/stopping at speed surely will cause deep pivots,especially after rain

Its all coming up anyway



As for the event, it costs £50k to hire the KC, whos paying that?

It coped with Michael Weighman so half a dozen horses should be fine.
