Spl77 337 Posted October 12, 2018 If you take the riding assets away then what is actually up for sale? as the stadium is council owned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for a brand then that aswell must have little worth. The ironic thing is the BSPA have spent the last 25 years at least running the sport to suit individual agenda's of various promotions to 'protect' their financial interests. Those actions now make those investments almost worthless when coming to sale.....who would spend thousands on a knacked old tractor and some dirt? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted October 14, 2018 Half a million The only person to fork out that kind of money would be a pro footballer looking for a new toy to play with. Any sensible, professional, self leveling business man wouldn't go anywhere near £500,000. Unusable rider assets and the Poole Pirates name are the only things up for sale. So total value to start with a new owner will be around £600,000 to £700,000 once BSPA bond, rider contracts etc etc are taken into account. Total madness, only a mug would take that on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
