One thing he said to me was after reading message boards (It was the poole one at the time) was that it was like listening to kids squabble in the playground. I had a meeting with him for some projects i have with them in the next few months and mentioned in passing that the club was for sale - He laughed and said no fool will buy it - Cant really argue with it can you. Hopefully someone will though as it would be a shame to see it disapeer. I would think its going to have to drastically drop down in sale price for anyone to consider maybe it could be bought for a pound if worse comes to the worse.

But he'll be wearing a Belle Vue racesuit as he leads the trailling Pirates riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps. Edited December 9, 2018 by scottyfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm You sound like a very jealous person who just cannot get over it. Nevermind, keep going it will be March soon, 8 will become 9.. Let's wait until we see all teams line ups.

thecoombdog Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Had a few months off from this place. Can see a lot of the same boring arguements are still going on. But just wondered where Matt Ford Fan is these days? Thought he would be full of it in here after the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to correct you He posted an avatar of the 7 riders that Poole had in their team He changed it over halfway through the season to the top 7 riders in Pooles history I ribbed him early on in the season about it I’m sure he will come on here and call me a liar because it’s easier for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only magnificent seven avatar I used was of the poster featuring the 7 riders voted for by Poole fans over the decades. https://goo.gl/images/kJ1XMi Edited December 10, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
