I think it’s a bit disingenuous of you with regards Gavan so you must be on the mend. Just my opinion and back to speedway - if Poole don’t win the league at a canter then I will be very surprised. Are you drunk Steve? how would you know Poole would win the league in a canter.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To everyone who is worried Poole are in a far better financial citation that in previous years. They have increased season tickets, a team which is actually built on the cheap compared to what people think it is. Yes there was a far more expensive team in the ready. So Poole in great and will continue to be so for the coming years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted February 22, 2018 Is Gordon Pairman still a Promoter at Poole, and is it correct he’s a Tax exile living in the I.O.M., the reason for the questions is would it not be cheaper to give him the boot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says Poole have got rid of Giles Hartwell and racesuits as cost-cutting measures. It quotes Neil Middleditch saying this. And to be honest I'm more inclined to believe that Neil Middleditch and the Speedway Star know what they're talking about more than you do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A very attractive team Steve yes but there are at least four riders in that team that have something to prove play/offs certainly i don't know about winning it though.

Firstly Giles Hartwell has been binned in a cost cutting measure. This seems strange to me. As a co-promoter I'd have thought Hartwell would be investing money into the club, but it sounds like he takes money out. Speedway Star reports that Hartwell has been given the elbow in a cost-saving act. And worse still, the Pirates can't even afford team suits this year. Poole will look the poor relations in the 2018 PL with racejackets being worn over the top of any old kevlars rather than the smart team suits that the PL usually demands. However the begging bowl is out and they will wear teamsuits if someone else pays for them. Big Issue anyone? Another poster who cannot see the wood from the trees. Giles was a NONE funding/contrabuting promoter, but did a hell of a lot of work for Matt, he's left on good terms and they still have a sound friendship after 20 yrs. As for the racesuits, Its sound financial common sense, yes its a cost cutting measure which im sure you will find at most clubs now. The measure now will keep us at the top for years to come. Keep blowing those bubbles mate... Don't write something you clearly know nothing about.. Facts pal.. Edited February 23, 2018 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really the star has it wrong and i do not recall Neil saying that. Tell me, how much truth is there in the daily papers nowadays ? and you dont clearly know what your talking about.. DUH..

No Chris Brady josh and shanes will be fine, still the same shape just been a lot better and more consistant on the track. As i said, just needs titivating from time to time, and the four wheel blade putting round every week before prep. then you can do what you like with it..
