Just had conversation with a 2016 Poole rider. Each rider was supplied with ONE set of Club kevlars. As he said “ why would I need 2 sets” 

Well that's sorted then..And I don't by that Ford did the bib thing in protest of the TV deal in 2018 as posted either.It's up to each promoter to do as they wish. Money must be tight, and if Matt had to pay for the track work,then maybe that's why ?

Matts not short of money. 

 

He he has a 100K deal sorted for Dudek. I promise it’s not money.

 

Pity the 8 point rule scppered that. Don’t care which team you support dudek in the league would have been awesome.!

We all know how ruthless M F is when it comes to choosing who rides for his Poole team. If as you say "He has a 100K deal sorted for Dudek. I promise it’s not money." Then why would he choose a none GP rider,over the world No 2 who would put more bums on seats for his No 1 rider.

Brady's deal was done before he went back to Australia last season!!  Dudek was a definite target last season, but I seriously doubt whether he could be comfortably afforded this year.

Poole, like most clubs I presume, run to an annual budget which will be based on expected achievements, crowd numbers, sponsorship etc.  Its no secret that Poole have had 2 successive seasons of 'under-achievement' by their own high performance standards - made even worse by injuries and dramatic under performing by certain riders!!

That said, there has clearly been an unexpected financial strain on the club's budget which MF is attempting to address for the coming season and is cutting his cloth in selected areas accordingly.

Fortunately sponsorship and advertising income is still very buoyant, whilst turnstile income will no doubt be swelled when the team are successful again - eg season ticket sales have already been reported as being the best for 10 years!!  An improved customer experience has been promised with track work and grandstand seating improvements already done and other racenight/presentation tweaks underway.

Personally I can't wait for the team fixtures to begin on Good Friday. Bring it on.:D
