Matt said last night at the fans quiz night that his preferred 1-7 was in place, but still awaiting the return of all contracts. There is one rider who is being a little unrealistic with his financial demands, so reading between the lines there could still be a change of mind.

Matt confirmed that Covatti on 4.70 would be the 'senior' reserve. 

No price increases for admission in 2019 - season tickets available very soon before Christmas.

2 new co-promoters (not owners) to be confirmed soon. They will take responsibility for the day to day admin in 2019. Matt will fly in for home meetings.

He also mentioned that Chris Holder is currently staying with him before flying back to Australia for their summer as he has sold his UK house.

PS. The 'chat' amongst fans, sponsors, mechanics and some former riders last night was that neither Kacper Woryna nor James Shanes are in the frame for a 2019 team place at Poole!

Some thoughts on this.

Covatti - Senior reserve means he could go Shanes (or not reading above) - Maybe a young Australian like Stewart or Pickering or another Young Aussie (well 23) Allen who would all be on lower than Covatti so it's a little ambiguous. Could be another young foreigner below in the 4/4.5 range. Or even a left field signing like Todd Kurtz who wouldnt be expensive living with Brady in one of Middlo's accomodation's.

Ref Chris Holder. One again not so clear. Doesn't actually say he won't be racing UK which would have put closure on it. Doesn't Chris have to go back to Aussie anyway to race in Aussie Champs if he wants to qualify for the GP play offs again as no chance he will IMO get a Wild Card again. If Jack is racing UK he could still get a joint house/flat share rental arrangement. We know he had his UK House sold stc but still doesn't clarify his situation as to racing.

Maybe Woryna is the rider with unrealistic demands ?? - Could also be Jack who is now an up and coming POL EXL rider. We all know Woryna gets paid plenty as he is the star of Rybnik. Not proved himself enough yet if it is him to warrant super star money in our Prem. Same applies if it was Jack. Hope it's not Brady who probably benefits from cheap lodgings from Middlo and also has Todd benefitting from sharing with him.

I'm ok with Covatti but still more questions than answers on  rest of the team.

Surely Shovlar will stump up the £35k from his fine arts garage? He thinks Woryna is the next big thing, a World Champion in waiting.  

 

Not done enough in Prem for me yet to warrant anything special. He needs to show his POL form consistently to prove he worth more money. Even then these guys would be deluded to think UK can pay big bucks.

Woryna upped his average a fair bit in 2018. More than likely done his job in 2018 on a bargain average. I doubt he will be back now his average is over 6.

I’ve just had a look at http://www.poolepirates.co/store.html

There’s loads there although, not surprisingly, some sizes are out of stock. As there’s no pop up shop - maybe Matt’s too busy with his new business - then it’s unlikely they’d have reordered in the hope of an occasional buyer. 

What’s available from other teams?

And when you stop slagging our club off perhaps you should tell us all who you "alledgedly" support. Because it just strikes me you are just a sad jealous mouth piece.
