Starman2006 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) A proper name. So we are now know as Volvo Cars Poole Pirates. Better than Poole Volvo Cars Pirates! Matt Ford said last week he had received 4 offers for team sponsorship but didn't want to undersell his brand so held out. Guess Volvo have come up with the asking price. Rain has finally stopped but it has been very heavy and prolonged. Not sure if there will be enough time for it to dry out before 3 pm and practice. And your point is Jones... Matt will NOT, under sell Poole speedway, so he was either going to start the campaign with no sponsor or wait for the right one to come along..

BurntFaceMan Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I could sell a Microsoft PC, doesn't make me Microsoft. Matt Ford would have sold the sponsorship for £10,000 if he had no better offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherborne Green Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Does it really matter to anyone outside Poole who their sponsors are. To me it appears it is a local Poole firm and they are backing their local team. People outside Poole must be happy that they may have a little less money but Matt Ford is happy and he is the Pirates boss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hang on this is a fund raiser. The money raised goes to Darcy. Do you not think he is worth £20 fir the entertainment he gave during his short career? The idea is to raise money. Wont raise much if its free to get in. Get your hand in your pocket and pay an extra 20 for the good times he gave Poole fans for crying out loud!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Nobody is moaning about adult price's which is good value for 23 race's people are concerned about children pricing which for families is a rip off just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as most of the remaining attendees are pensioners they should probably just remove the Adult fee altogether!

Pirate Baz Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Seeing as most of the remaining attendees are pensioners they should probably just remove the Adult fee altogether! There's no reduction for pensioners tonight and so far as I know no complaints. As Steve say's it's for Darcy's foundation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Is the track as bad as people are saying on twitter? Few people saying it's breaking up. Then Poole twitter tweet this: @Poolespeedway There has been a request for more track grading ahead of heat #6 so there will be an additional delay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Track is utter sh1te. An embarrassment. What a shambles. Holder is hating it. Holder hates just about everything to do with British racing at the mo. What do you suggest Poole should have done different with the track? It looked perfect before the meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
