Pirates Of Poole

True to a degree and we do the same, we tried it with a none Poole rider this year but it didn’t work for us sadly so have gone back and sponsored a Poole rider for 2026. We have experienced so many times in the past, we sponsor - give the money and rarely hear anything from the riders until the time comes again when they need fresh sponsorship for the next year. Not all riders, we dealt with some cracking riders one in particular was exceptional. But with money not so freely available, riders should probably learn quick on that, how many are driving around or flying daily, how long does it take to send a simple text once in a while? Don’t need to be wined and dined but a personal message would go a long way. I hear the same with clubs too. Appreciation goes along way and we don’t put money into riders for the business we do it because I love the sport and want to help riders progress in a small way and hope it helps.

Oxford haven’t signed him, but like you say that will be put to bed at 7am tomorrow

No!

Think you will be very disappointed come Tuesday

Beau would have arrived on a 4.00 I believe

Thankfully won’t be for Poole 😁

Think once a certain rider named agreed to come here next year and changed his mind about 4 weeks ago, the club had to move quickly to get Dan signed up, the deal has been done and dusted a few weeks I would think 😁

Welcome to Poole, Dan! Great signing and if he can stay injury free he will easily add a point to his average! I’m sure the signing everyone was expecting will be delayed until the week up to Xmas Day and delivered as a perfect Christmas pressie for Pirates.

David has sponsored him for 5 years now

As I said Beau isn't doing UK! he is only doing Poland and Denmark for 2026. It was a tough decision for him to turn down Poole's offer but what he has chosen suits him for now. He will be over at some point in the next year or so. The last 3 are signed and sealed and all will be announced by Christmas.

The last paragraph 😂 clearly your source isn’t in the know!

Do you know differently

Like I say Bailey isn't coming to UK in 2026 and I was told that directly from his camp!

Beau isn't doing the UK in 2026, 100%

As did I! let’s hope he can get his bike reliably sorted as easily an 8 point man in Champ.
