Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted January 2, 2019 Personally if the sponsorship tie up was the reasoning the the Plymouth Cobra's sounds a better name but whichever. As long as there isn't an influx of polystyrene columns appearing and the water car towed round by a couple of horses im sure everything will be fine at the Eastbourne coloured Gladiators 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcons50 12 Posted January 2, 2019 At the end of the day Plymouth will continue to have a speedway team next season something which was much in doubt at the end of last I think. New sponsorship or actually any sponsorship is so difficult to get so my thoughts are WELL DONE to the Mark, Stuart and Mattie. Paul is working hard as well. I am pleased to sponsor a heat for the season as I have done the last two years. It's a relatively small amount but if it helps keep my Friday nights going, we as spectators just need to get behind the team and give them the support they need and deserve. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted January 2, 2019 Mattie Bates as a Gladiator - hope he marches out in front of his team "in costume". The mind boggles.I would pay to see that!!!! Seriously, good luck Plymouth and, of course, good luck to Richard Andrews, who is fondly remembered by many in Sussex, and Mattie - he put in some super shifts for the Eagles. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't say I like the changes much, but there you go. Just hope they bring you better fortune than when my old team changed it's name to Gladiators.

Byker Biker 469 Posted January 2, 2019 Please don't knock this initiative folks it's not that long ago that Plymouth didn't have a Speedway Team and of course it's an even shorter period since it's continuation was threatened. Whatever it takes to secure the sport for Plymouth and it's lovely supporters has to be welcomed and embraced. Well done this is an opportunity to be taken and made the most of, which all the other clubs at death's door would welcome. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can't afford to lose anymore tracks. On a lighter note the name Gladiators will be Plymouth's sixth nickname in it's history after Tigers, Panthers, Drakes, Bulldogs and Devils. This must be a record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are not the first team to have six nicknames. The team I'm thinking of can also count Panthers as one of their nicknames. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
