Pirates Of Poole

Team looks strong and the last 2 riders are obvious just down to announcing. Looking forward to an entertaining team on track in 2017.

Welcome to Poole Mr Klindt, bargain signing on that average!

Will be amazed if Matsers isn't in! Will leave around 9.60 for final 2 riders. Surprised to see Howarth on that average. Wells may of been a better option.

Howarth and Clegg confirmed.

Yeah not that Emil though.

A 'fact' can I see some proof then? In 2001 Tony was paid less than Mark was asking.

Have to say the team is extremely poor and built on the cheap apart from Kenny. maybe Horton is saving money for new bits in the stadium?

So the final 3 as expected but potentially no stadium, nice one Horton.

Um nope! Norrie at the time was asking for double what Mark was on the year before because he was world champion! Matt could not balance the books on those wage demands as was not going to put the long term future of the club in jepody.

Garrity, Sarg and Kerr to complete the team?

If Kurtz is the 3rd heat leader he will have good back up. I think Jack will do a lot better than Brady in his first year especially with a weaker league. At present only team that look like giving us a run for our money is Wolves and Rye.

Didn't see that coming 🤔😄 will do a solid job in this race format.

So our number 1 rider for 2017 is announced. KK will do a very solid job in this league structure and certainly match all the other top boys. With Hans to back him up we have a strong top 2.

So Bates is back! Leaked in the Sheffield press when announcing him as a tiger!

Sounds like you know something Skidder 😉😁

Very good signing on a 2.00, similar level to JPB and Smith.

Welcome to Poole James Shane's!

Club news coming very soon! Confirmed by the echo...... And I'm sure it will get people on here talking. Stand by Pirates fans. It's going to be an interesting few days, starting tomorrow #speedway #piratepride

Ah right, please provide proof for these accusations please towards the club that will sum it up nicely thanks.

Batchelor signing for Poole then? 🤔

Ah ok! So what have Poole done any different to other clubs? Building to a 60 team limit compared to 50 for the rest? Wake up and smell the coffee, as soon as ALL clubs realise we need massive change the sooner we will move forward! Let's face it all top league promoters get in a room together for the AGM! Matt isn't the only one in the room.

Nope or the years previously 😉

Or the fact we buy the league according to other club's fans 😳🤔

Think also the Danish fixture clashes were an issue too!

None of the article today states Hans will be number 1! Skipper yes, so gives us a potential option of having a rider on a slightly higher average. There won't be any rush in announcing the full team, will be more to maximise local press coverage.
