Gavan Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 I don’t think Poole have financial troubles but they obviously have an issue going for riders like Worrall and Josh rather than Woryna and Jacobsen. I guess Matt Ford must be saving his money for when he can make changes which with this 1-7 must happen I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact he won't have to do that for any of the 1-7 next season. Merely cutting the cloth accordingly for 2019. Losing some sponsorship probably only puts Poole on a similar level to the other 6 clubs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates of Poole's post saying Allen was down to money. books have to be balanced = Financial difficulties. We cant even afford a reserve who is British based. PROOF is in the Christmas pudding. He is just sensible with his money, maybe he should let Glasgow know how it's done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich offered more money the same club who are struggling to put a team together for 2019 due to a number of riders turning them down and they're not even top foreign riders of GP boys. According to Falcon1983 we're talking about Nicholls and co. That should tell you Ipswich are offering riders poor contracts. Yet that same club offered Allen more money than Poole did so that is alarming. Not really. Most clubs offer more money than Poole do, has always been that way in the past.

Sounds like Matt has been paying himself plenty out of the club and the rich sponsors making up the wages of the riders..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but other clubs have offered that rider more than Poole but some have still chosen Poole cos they know there are no late payments!

Yes other clubs offered Rickardsson ,Holder , Ward, Hancock and Janowski more money I’m assuming by Lisa’s comments. Poole are a very well run club for sure but there is no way other clubs offered these riders more then Poole to ride for them Edited December 26, 2018 by Gavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason.C Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 It is well known that Poole used to lure big name's due to the amount of sponsorship the club attracted. I do recall Adam's was offered more money in 2003 to ride elsewhere, but the deal was better at Poole that year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
