WalterPlinge 657 Posted February 27, 2018 Considering how skint Poole are, and how they can't afford Giles Hartwell and any racesuits, I think Matt has done well with the new racejacket design for the Poundland Pirates. 7 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt's looking for 7 good size cardboard boxes. Now I know why. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted February 27, 2018 Don't see the point in race suits anyway. Cost clubs money when the spectators know what riders are riding in what race and what colour helmets your team is wearing in those races. Race suits just add a bit of bling really. Good decision by Matt Ford imo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true.We know all the clubs are struggling, and despite what some on here say that Poole are better off this year than in the 5 previous seasons.. I think they are feeling it now,the same as every club.No shame in that at all..Lets hope the crowds at least stabilise, if not increase in 2018. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted February 27, 2018 Matt's searched down the back of the sofa. He reckons he's found enough money to pay for some budget racesuits for the Poundland Pirates after all. 6 1 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DWP 320 Posted February 28, 2018 Just sent in completed designs with sponsor logos for Kevlar suits for Polish and Danish team. Not surprised Matt Ford and possibly other teams not doing race suits. A Kevlar suit with sewn leather logos from Maliniak, KW, WK etc. Handmade in Poland is well over £1000 each. Can buy cheaper printed suits but don’t like as more like pyjamas.

poolebolton 464 Posted February 28, 2018 Last season Matt spent about 12k on racesuits. Hell of a lot of money. Wonder if anyone would wear old pirate Kevlars?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
