Matt will only sell it if he has a buyer at the right price!! He's brought his son Danny and colleague Tilley in as co-promoters so that they can take the brunt of the day-to-day running of the club with Matt keeping an eye from abroad. This season Matt is flying in for most of the Pirates home meetings but its Danny that is being shown the ropes and becoming the 'front man' - hence its Danny that is now quoted in most news stories and publicity. I think this is season is one of transition - not forgetting that Danny and Tilley also have their own day jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the same thing earlier in the season before he got his Polish 3rd division place, BUT he does fit, he is a Poole asset but will he cost more than the club want to afford?

Only if he is prepared to bring his own stuff over, from the start. I don't know what his form is like abroad but he didn't do that well for Lynn last time he was over. That said I would rather have 7 riders than r/r, if Richie isn't making a return this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might sound harsh considering they are 'learning the ropes' but half the time the fans have no clue what is going on at the club! Only get answers when Middlo answers questions at the press conference after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either stay and invest into the club again and that includes the track or pass it on if he has lost interest. Poole fans are worried about the future as it is when they are saying things like 'I'm going whilst the club is still running...' Okay rant over!! Can you tell the situation winds me up!

Well yes it would wind up anyone the longer he leaves it the more it decreases in value, but I can't for the life of me see what it's worth apart from the Poole Speedway name as I know and you probably do the asset list means Jack squat, so then you have the dirt on the track, fences and tractors I don't know if Poole Speedway own them or lease them, they don't own the stadium so I cannot see how you can put a value on it really apparently it's up for miles apart from anyone is prepared to have a dabble with.
