Pirates Of Poole Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 So Bomber has a new average of 6.91 with a 2.5% reduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, since his stint in the NDL he's coming along nicely, that 2.5% should see him reach the next level in his development. You taking over as promoter? because that's the sort of 'forward thinking' that'll give Poole the edge again.

Poole will run mainly on a Thursday although for TV it'll be Mondays. There will be the occasional Wednesday meeting due to when all the Thursday tracks are against each other, if that make sense. Poole will continue with Good Friday and BH Mondays. The first home meeting is likely to be around the 10/11 April 2019. The club will announce 2 new co-promoters (not owners - Matt will still own the club) around the end of this month - they are expected to be officially licenced by the end of November. Expect the first rider announcement to also be around the same time. NO mention of a new club main sponsor as yet. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the 2.5% reference is clearly stated on the official AGM statement? No surprise there. We usually have to wait a couple of days for the follow-up statement that seeks to clarify any misunderstandings from the main statement plus anything that they forgot to include. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVEHOLS54 Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Ok - Now the AGM is over and with little changed in Prem i.e 2 up - 2 down and even that not 100% definite as the Swindon situation hardly 100% concrete they will be racing if track not built in time (unless they can still race on the old one temporarily ??). With Somerset dropping down - Chapman taking over ownership of Ips/Peterborough, what chances now maybe that both Poole assets Chris and Jack Holder returning to Poole for 2019. Surely not beyond the reams of possibility. Jack I can certainly see with Somerset dropping down. Chris maybe also ?? if his personal situation finally resolved and he is given all clear to race in UK again ?? I know their is plenty of split opinion on them but ultimately both are decent riders and a lot cheaper if living still living together locally without all the associated costs of overseas riders ?? I am sure Matt already on the case if not already a pre-agreement ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
