Pirates Of Poole Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Massive shame Steve if confirmed. Club will be I’m sure will be looking around for a decent 4.00 rider that will come in and strengthen the team, especially as Sam and Tobias are off the pace at the moment.

We must have done 75% of our meetings if people saying Oxford have and we have done one more meeting than them according to the league table. So will have to be guests.

lbw Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 (edited) Ben Cook scored 13+1(5) in Leszno's final league meeting of the season. I'm not sure if Leszno are involved in the play offs? https://ekstraliga.pl/en/se/match/4857 Well done Ben, he's had a fantastic season in Poland. If u click on his name in the scorecard u will see his stats for the season. Excellent 👍 Just hope we hang on to him next season.

But, im not sure both Matt and Dan would want to move back up, unless, 2-3 more clubs joined the top league. Then, it would become viable .

Pirates Of Poole Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 1 hour ago, Catalan said: Keep saying it but can't see them wanting to move back up and bankrupting the club Believe me if Poole are struggling, well around 12 clubs won't be coming to the tapes next season! Poole are making a 'business decision' based on maxing profits, which as a business model makes sense. Massive potential to attract more NEW sponsors to the club in the area, which would allow us to move up. Personally for me we pay £19 all other clubs in the champ are £20.00/Glasgow is £22.00 for a grandstand seat that I used a few weeks back. Put those costs against Oxford Premiership team £22.00 or Sheffield £23.00 to watch some of the GP riders. Not a massive amount in it and a higher level of rider to watch. Poole won't be moving up sadly, but my concern for the business model next season will likely see lesser quality come to the tapes as we have to let riders go due to the team average. IF that does happen I already know a few that won't be attending, over the past 2 years I have seen our group who attend dropped by 8 people! the reason not interested in going to watch Poole in the championship which I respect as their decision and choose to part their money into other activities in the BCP area. Everyone has an opinion on this and mine will always be, the fanbase and sponsors Poole have they should be sitting at the top table of British Speedway as they did from 1997-2019. But it wont be happening! Poole will be championship in 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it might mean Ford makes a bit less profit. He might make the same or even a bit more. Would he chance that for his loyal fans, if they wanted Prem. I have my doubts.

Skidder1 Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 3 minutes ago, Pirates Of Poole said: Exactly! If Premiership fixtures were on Wednesdays and 2025 were to be Poole's final season and Matt sold the chateau then it might be an option? But it won't. Imo the issues that Premiership teams are experiencing this season, with foreign riders not turning up or feigning injury despite riding abroad the day before a UK fixture will only get worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
