Steve Shovlar Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 RIP Pete a very sad loss indeed. Remember back to the mid 80's when Pete 'n Merv bought the Wildcats to Poole to save the sport to the town. A really nice guy who will be sadly missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couchy Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Will depend where the rider in question will be riding in Poland but fingers crossed he will agree to return to EL racing in 2016. Can I ask what outcome is needed with shamek in Poland for him to sign for Poole ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packerman Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I would also like to mention the efforts of Alan Hodder to the above as he seems to of been forgotten as if it wasn't for these three Poole Speedway might of disappeared back in 1985. Thank you for helping to saving speedway in my home town Pete Ansell. R.I.P. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I would also like to mention the efforts of Alan Hodder to the above as he seems to of been forgotten as if it wasn't for these three Poole Speedway might of disappeared back in 1985. Thank you for helping to saving speedway in my home town Pete Ansell. R.I.P. Fair point Packerman, Alan Hodder was of course the 'supremo' of the old National League set-up which had its Admin HQ in Weymouth. Richard Loder was also very much part of Mervyn Stewkesbury's set-up and they and their families all became regular attendees at Wimborne Road in those days. Great times with huge, huge crowds even in what was the 2nd division of British Speedway. Edited November 24, 2015 by Skidder1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 So Darcy tweeted that he knows who Chris is riding for next season and is stoked about it. So according to someone on twitter that means it's not Poole?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob VDS Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 So Darcy tweeted that he knows who Chris is riding for next season and is stoked about it. So according to someone on twitter that means it's not Poole?! I saw that. I took it to mean it was Poole actually. Why would he be stoked if it wasn't Poole? Assuming my understanding of stoked is correct 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming my understanding of stoked is correct 😆I thought exactly that!! I'm trying to get why someone would think it means he's leaving. Don't get it.

Pirates Of Poole Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Chris was always going to be at Poole deal done and contract signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Kildemand to Poole ? Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 That sooooooo doesn't make sense, it's gotta be Poole and\or Torun? If he's signed for Torun again then it means either Doyle will be leaving or Hancock has not been signed as they can only track 3 foreigners and have already secured Vaculik.

Couchy Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 So I'm assuming the hold up is shamek?? If he says yes we go with him if he says no we go with watt? And I read that Matt says we have to wait for the right media vacation to announce each rider? So I'm guessing that's why they are holding the holder signing back?
