Jaizer Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 5 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: Poole are run on a budget. The same as Newcastle. Just that the budget is much higher than Newcastles. By the look of it though, one team is so desperate for the title which seems to always elude them, that the owners deep pockets have come into play to fulfil his desire for the title. Certainly the crowd size they get won’t cover the price of the team. Their fans better have their fingers crossed their team are successful. Thing is, Poole as a club have a winning mentality. Hard to beat, especially over two legs. Add to that if riders are not on their A game they are under threat of their place in the team. No going through the motions. There’s a reason Middlo is the best team manager in the league. He gets the best out of the riders who want to be winners. More shovlar BS.

ray c Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 if the stadium goes back into councils hands in years to come it will end up being a retirement village just like wimborne market .will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 We all know the Poole lineup bar perhaps the number 7. we are going to be challenging at the top as usual, guaranteed a playoff berth and if we steer clear of injuries, have a great chance of retaining our title. Other clubs spending a fortune in an attempt to buy the title might find they are beaten by 7 riders, riding as a team with Middlo orchestrating from the pits. Plus a grandstand full of passionate fans cheering on the team. Come on you Mighty Pirates! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Now is the time for Poole fans to email Drew Mellor head of BCP council and show your support for the club in the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Matt has just appeared on BBC South Today, repeating his radio interview from this morning. The dispute with the stadium owners is as much to do with justifying the imposed rent increase when Gaming International have let a number of areas of the stadium dilapidate as well as withdrawing the catering/hospitality facilities.

Supersub Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Just have to wonder whether Stadia Uk are in breach of any of the terms of their lease with BCP? Apart from car park what income do they receive to pay their rent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he was out of order on the Newcastle thread yesterday I thought. Obviously boring on the Peterborough thread Seems to enjoy other clubs getting into trouble. Sad.

Do you really think Poole are in trouble or just in negotiations for a cheaper rent surely they will still run even if the rent can't be changed? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Time to give Poole council a nudge I believe. Nothing wrong with making sure the council know the fans are worried about the leaseholder. A short and clear message that Poole fans are a little worried that the leaseholder is asking for ridiculous rent increases when it is not prepared to run any sports themselves would suffice. This guy is leader of the council. Drew.Mellor@bcpcouncil.gov.uk I sent this short message. Dear Mr Mellor, I am hearing rumours that there is an issue at Poole Stadium and the continued use of the stadium by Poole Pirates Speedway, due to the lease holder trying to increase the rent by an amount far beyond the regular annual increase. Whilst all businesses are struggling at this difficult time, for a lease holder to try and exploit the situation is frankly unacceptable. The lease holder seems unfit to hold the lease, considering all it does is charge for the car park and offer nothing else. What benefits does it offer the people of Poole? It does not offer any sports at the stadium. If it were not for the speedway the stadium would be classed as obsolete. The speedway is extremely popular with the people of Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding areas and the crowds have held up well at a time when covid has been a hard felt issue. It brings kudos to the town, brings in fans from other clubs who spend money in the area, and the team has a reputation as being winners. Now is the time to back our club, stop these nonsense demands from the leaseholder and make sure the sport continues and goes from strength to strength in future years. With kind regards and a Merry Christmas, Steve Shovlar 4 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt first mentioned this rent issue in the meeting vs Brum on August BH Mon and now we are in Dec, so slightly worrying how long it is taking. But maybe he is just standing his ground more than other people would? A poster earlier did mention that it is a case of crossing the t's and dotting the i's. Hope that is correct! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because bringing two rider's over from Australia and putting them up in a guest house comes cheap. Signing one of top rated young British riders was done on the cheap? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no because unlike Newcastle Matt Ford will actually build a decent budget side. You quoted you are going to sit in your house and wind the Newcastle supporters up! My point is teams may struggle with cash I’m not saying Poole will as they are a well run club but to slag peoples teams for being weak is pathetic. I tell you now I’d watch any team at brough park every Sunday just to get to watch speedway and the riders would get my full backing good or bad. Embrace it yourself enjoy it good or bad don’t just sit behind a phone or computer slagging clubs because it could easily happen to the team you support one day. And believe me it’s not a nice feeling going to your last meeting last season to support the club you have followed since 1992 thinking it was the end forever. I’ll have the weak team any day no problem. Edited December 23, 2021 by Shearer09 Spelling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
