Are you drunk Steve?  how would you know Poole would win the league in a canter.?

The are the bookies favourites and with no less than 3 ringers in the team (4 if you include Noddy) - it would be the biggest choke in speedway history if they don't win!

Perhaps BT will react to this snub by not showing Poole - I wonder how Matts sponsors would feel about that if they have stumped up more cash to be on TV......

 

 

To everyone who is worried Poole are in a far better financial citation that in previous years. 

 

They have increased season tickets, a team which is actually built on the cheap compared to what people think it is. 

Yes there was a far more expensive team in the ready.

 

So Poole in great and will continue to be so for the coming years.

Where you getting that from ? totally wrong..

From the Speedway Star.    It says Poole have got rid of Giles Hartwell and racesuits as cost-cutting measures.

It quotes Neil Middleditch saying this.  And to be honest I'm more inclined to believe that Neil Middleditch and the Speedway Star know what they're talking about more than you do.

A very attractive team Steve yes but there are at least four riders in that team that have something to prove play/offs certainly i don't know about winning it though.

Because some Poole fans tell us so :D

Which ones are those mate, ive not said it, nothing is guranteed.. first they all have to stay sound and they all have to come to the party. Yes the team is packed with massive potential but we still have to do it on the track.One thing i will gurantee, the new boys will be getting plenty of laps in on P&P day. Both Neil and Chris can play a pivetable part in teaching the new lads how to ride the poole track properly..

Things are not sounding too good down Dorset way accoring to the Speedway Star.

Firstly Giles Hartwell has been binned in a cost cutting measure.     This seems strange to me.  As a co-promoter I'd have thought Hartwell would be investing money into the club, but it sounds like he takes money out.    Speedway Star reports that Hartwell has been given the elbow in a cost-saving act.

And worse still, the Pirates can't even afford team suits this year.    Poole will look the poor relations in the 2018 PL with racejackets being worn over the top of any old kevlars rather than the smart team suits that the PL usually demands.   However the begging bowl is out and they will wear teamsuits if someone else pays for them.

Big Issue anyone?

 

Another poster who cannot see the wood from the trees. Giles was a NONE  funding/contrabuting promoter, but did a hell of a lot of work for Matt, he's left on good terms and they still have a sound friendship after 20 yrs.  As for the racesuits, Its sound financial common sense, yes its a cost cutting measure which im sure you will find at most clubs now. The measure now will keep us at the top for years to come. Keep blowing those bubbles mate... Don't write something you clearly know nothing about.. Facts pal..;)

Is Gordon Pairman still a Promoter at Poole, and is it correct he’s a Tax exile living in the I.O.M., the reason for the questions is would it not be cheaper to give him the boot.   

Gordon is still a promoter..

If the new track is as good as we are all hoping for, then all 7 Poole riders will have to learn how to ride it.;):D

No Chris Brady josh and shanes will be fine, still the same shape just been a lot better and more consistant on the track. As i said, just needs titivating from time to time, and the four wheel blade putting round every week before prep. then you can do what you like with it..

Just had a look at the Polish Ekstraliga Squads. 1 Question, why are 2 poles in the Poole like up not in any of the Ekstraliga Squads. ????

Because they both ride for Rybnik and they got relegated. 

 

They both got offered Extraliga spots. 

 

Matt S got offered the back up role at Gorzow which Peter Llung now has. 

Woryna basically got an offer to ride for everyone just he didn't want to leave Rybnik and they were asking for about £100K for him and no one wanted to pay that.

Have you tried reading what Middleditch says in the Star then?    Like i said it seems far more likely that the Speedway Star, Neil Middleditch and Paul Burbridge know what they're talking about than you do.

Erm...You seem very confused.   You do realise that the Speedway Star (a weekly trade magazine) and the Daily Star (a daily newspaper) are not the same thing.   They're two totally unconnected publications.   No one mentioned the daily newspaper.   We're talking about the Speedway Star!

Please get someone to explain the meaning of the word irony to you!
