I saw plenty of Havvy during his spell at Coventry & concluded he wasn't cut out for the job , I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only person to think that either. If he failed before because of his shortcomings of not noing the rulebook properly If will address that problem no doubt.Havelock also is a bubbly character good for moral and he will get the respect of the riders mainly because of what he achieved as a rider.

I think most teams have sorted their main sponsors. Also on that subject, and please correct me if I m wrong, but I am sure i saw on the Poole website until recently that Medicare Systems Poole were one of the clubs major sponsors for some time. Looking at the site the last few days Medicare no longer have their logo running across the top like the others. Is this another decent sponsor we have lost similar to what happened with some others over the 2018/19 seasons. My apologies IF I am wrong. If you look at the number of Peterborough sponsors compared to Poole's then I would be more concerned about the Panthers. But then I guess it's more about the amount of money rather than the number of sponsors. Poole are offering 4 levels of club sponsorship - a bit like Gold Silver Bronze etc each offering different levels of publicity and branding I imagine. Maybe it's just Danny getting all his 'ducks in a row' before updating the website sponsor pecking order? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of get angry that my team - based in an affluent part of the Country should be getting more support/sponsorship if so rightly deserves. There are plenty of reasonable well heeled individuals and companies in Dorset area who should be doing more to support our club. I really hope they do secure a good main team sponsor plus as many smaller sponsors as possible. In fact I am about to enter the said arena with Poole myself for the very first time in my own smallish way. I hope that many others follow as it all contributes to a successful club that also allows us fans to participate in. I live 3.5 hours away from Poole in Essex, but this team is my team of choice and I want to support in a way i can even though retired early (by my own choice). Appreciate not everyone can but there are a good few who could. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Matt Ford to announce the final 2 riders 'in the next few days' according to their website www.poole-speedway.com Accommodation is being sought for the two riders as MF no longer has his big house locally to offer them, having now moved fully abroad.

Judging by his Berwick antics he still doesn't know the rules and fell out with more than one rider there and down the road at Redcar but he will be good for your bar profits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 would have preferred one manager for the whole season myself if neil could not then he should have stood down .still If its only for a few meetings on the northern circuit it don't really matter a managers role is not so important as it was many years ago when the manager could pick gate positions and tact subs etc just my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 There have often been occasions during the season when Middlo has not been available - even at home - and either the likes of Matt or Garry May and even Jim Lynch or A.N.Other has stepped in!

ArthurRudge Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Maybe Havelock is the future Poole manager and there getting him involved in this kind of capacity before full time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the quoted text below from the website doesn't intimate home and away being separate then i think your illness has affected your visual skills a little more than i previously thought. Poole Pirates will be operating a home and away management scheme when they take their place in the SGB Championship for the 2020 season, with two club legends, Neil Middleditch and Gary Havelock, spreading the race day team managerial duties between them. Middleditch, who has masterminded eight top flight league titles and steered the Pirates into all the Elite league play-offs 15 times (from the 18 seasons in which the play-offs have been in operation), and will be honoured, at the start of the campaign. with a special meeting in his name, in recognition of his services to Poole, will be at the helm for the Pirates' home meetings whilst former club captain and 1992 world champion Gary Havelock will be handed the rulebook when the Pirates are on their travels. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I don't know why people make such a fuss about who the team manager is, now you can only do one tac sub per meeting there's not much tactically they can do! Obviously they can try to motivate the riders in their own way, but you'd expect getting paid per point should have them motivated enough anyway!
