The are pushing for a very large increase in rent with no extra service supply. Bottom line, the council own the stadium and it is sub contracted to stadia UK, if they are being un-reasonable the club are well in their right to take this up with the land owner and get their support! Big problem unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The council own the land the stadium is on not Stadia UK, speedway would have been out years ago if they owned it imo. Get back to the ironing board Lisa. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The council wouldn't be able to do anything though because it's the landlord's property at the end of the day and unfortunately they don't care about our Sport. What happens if they have to build a 1-7 on budget are you going to sit in your house loving it winding Poole supporters up as well just like you want to with Newcastle because we might be run on a budget but it’s still good to see speedway no matter what the team is! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not winding up Newcastle fans, Newcastle fans are just getting wound up. And no because unlike Newcastle Matt Ford will actually build a decent budget side.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted December 22, 2021 Poole are run on a budget. The same as Newcastle. Just that the budget is much higher than Newcastles. By the look of it though, one team is so desperate for the title which seems to always elude them, that the owners deep pockets have come into play to fulfil his desire for the title. Certainly the crowd size they get won’t cover the price of the team. Their fans better have their fingers crossed their team are successful. Thing is, Poole as a club have a winning mentality. Hard to beat, especially over two legs. Add to that if riders are not on their A game they are under threat of their place in the team. No going through the motions. There’s a reason Middlo is the best team manager in the league. He gets the best out of the riders who want to be winners. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ray c 2,299 Posted December 22, 2021 if the stadium goes back into councils hands in years to come it will end up being a retirement village just like wimborne market .will be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted December 22, 2021 We all know the Poole lineup bar perhaps the number 7. we are going to be challenging at the top as usual, guaranteed a playoff berth and if we steer clear of injuries, have a great chance of retaining our title. Other clubs spending a fortune in an attempt to buy the title might find they are beaten by 7 riders, riding as a team with Middlo orchestrating from the pits. Plus a grandstand full of passionate fans cheering on the team. Come on you Mighty Pirates! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,631 Posted December 22, 2021 Matt has just appeared on BBC South Today, repeating his radio interview from this morning. The dispute with the stadium owners is as much to do with justifying the imposed rent increase when Gaming International have let a number of areas of the stadium dilapidate as well as withdrawing the catering/hospitality facilities.
