The main team sponsorship is a tricky one I guess, but we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not local but I'm surprised they haven't considered a tie in with these guys.....http://www.fastonepizza-smethwick.co.uk/ The Poole 'Fast One' Pirates would resonate with speedway fans all over the world giving both parties global exposure.

I would think that with all the stunts pulled by Poole over the years surely a tie up with Evel Knievel would be more appropriate? The Evel Pirates? Looking at the hole on bend 1, Pollyfilla could be a shout but I'm not sure they do a tube in that size.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 We are not liked due to our success, says Poole boss Ford 3 Sport 22nd October We are not liked due to our success, says Poole boss Matt Ford By Ned Payne nedpayne_echo VIEW: Pirates chief Matt Ford PIRATES boss Matt Ford believes the club is "not liked" outside of Dorset due to its bulging silverware cabinet. 3 comments Earlier this month, Poole secured their eighth top-flight league title in 16 seasons thanks to victory over King's Lynn in the SGB Premiership play-off final. Team boss Neil Middleditch has made a habit of jokingly welcoming new riders to what he terms as "the most hated club in Britain". And Ford told the Daily Echo: “I know we are not liked. I know myself and Neil are not liked but I think that to a degree it’s people who haven’t met us who don’t like us. “It’s part of being at a club when it’s successful. It’s the way it is. All I can do is build the club as we have done for the past 20 years. “From bringing in Mark Loram and Gary Havelock, securing the continued service of Lars Gunnestad and then going to another level with Magnus Zetterstrom and Tony Rickardsson. “Then it just flowed. Leigh Adams and Antonio Lindback joined, Jason Crump came, Chris Holder came, Darcy Ward came and Maciej Janowski came. “That’s the great part of the club – that we’ve never stopped trying to improve it." Well he's half right there, they are disliked but not for their success . Just the underhanded, rule abusing approach used to gain it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Dyer Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Today’s Speedway Star has an article showing that Pirates co-promoter is to retire from British speedway and will also leave his position with the SCB. Cites travel from his home on the Isle of Man as being one reason as well as not wishing to be an obstruction to progress. I had a lot of time for Gordon and wish him well.

Hmmm, I wonder if someone has made a decent offer to take over then..? Edit- new promoter to replace Gordon could be announced next week, maybe..

I hear they could be interested in getting involved in owning a Speedway club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
