Ain't gonna happen any time soon unless its announced that a future season will definitely be Poole's last?!

Even if the Council have a developer ready and waiting with a Plan that would require approval, I cannot see anything happening until 2024 at the very earliest - and thats without any formal protests, objections and/or legal challenges!!

Arthur54 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 The stadium was given to the people of Poole for sports, and Poole have always had the full backing of the council, so fingers crossed there is a place there for the pirates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds85 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 As far as I'm aware the speedway is the biggest sports team in Poole?? So why would the council just let them go without a fight. Is Poole the last 'speedway town' in the whole country? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the speedway owner owns the stadium makes it a lot easier though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 This thread will soon become 'which club will fold next' prediction.... I guess 'we' (bham) will most likely be favourites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier not impossible though as don't Eastbourne own theirs too? But if Matt owned Poole Stadium i'd be pretty confident it would be around for a while.

I think the stadium is owned by the Dugards( Eric and his wife?), but last year's speedway business was 'run' by primarily Ian Jordon. That's why everything should be back up and running next year, stadium still owned by people who want speedway to continue, will need some good promoting from Trevor Geer etc though, but at least the people involved next year will be Eagles through and through. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(theyd probably prefer a croquet lawn on the site lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
