Morton & Gordon (forgot his name before) did so flippin' well, only the very last part under their stewardship, the opening meet & leading up to it, went a bit pear-shaped.... Granted, they did do well, but its come at a hell of a price... Ask them.. At least it got them out of Kirky Lane..

Why did Zagar and Woffy say that were coming back but said that 9 point reassessed average meant they couldn't. Riders lying as well I suppose. Woffy has been caught out a few times so I wouldn't believe everything he says! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to never getting a penny from costal Aluminium and readypower paid in assets. Now we have a large amount of finance and MAtt actually built this team on the cheap.

In many ways Ford reminds me of the late Ian Thomas as both tend(ed) to upset people (but not worry about it) due to: pushing rules (which are the same for everyone) to the limit, signing the best riders available to them and wishing to do the very best they can in order to promote their club(s) and make them successful.... Very well said Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Coastal Aluminium became the main title sponsor of Poole Pirates after signing a six-figure deal in 2012, worth more than £200,000. Thats taken from a ECHO article which shows how much money Ford missed out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article in the Echo said he would look at a longer period for Poole but not this season and it is expected he will do 4-6 meetings.
