Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Not sure if announcing a team sponsor is particularly exciting for fans. Good for Matts coffers but there the excitement ends. More exciting to hear that Poole stadium is going to be redeveloed into a stadium similar to Toruns. Edited March 21, 2017 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 22, 2017 Welcome to Volvo as main sponsors of Poole, great new addition to the 'sponsor family' at Poole.A proper name.Welcome to Volvo as main sponsors of Poole, great new addition to the 'sponsor family' at Poole. So we are now know as Volvo Cars Poole Pirates. Better than Poole Volvo Cars Pirates! Â Matt Ford said last week he had received 4 offers for team sponsorship but didn't want to undersell his brand so held out. Guess Volvo have come up with the asking price. Rain has finally stopped but it has been very heavy and prolonged. Not sure if there will be enough time for it to dry out before 3 pm and practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted March 22, 2017 New Sponsor is done but does anyone know anything about the new website. Â I would like us to see us have a speedway portal site as well. Â Any thoughts?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj350z 2,266 Posted March 22, 2017 If it is a Volvo dealership as opposed to Volvo Cars UK I will be amazed if it is a lucrative sponsorship deal. Dealers have very thin margins these days and I can't see them putting a lot of money into a speedway team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be paying somewhere near 80,000 I imagine to sponsor the team. Edited March 22, 2017 by poolebolton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 22, 2017 More than that. I heard Matt won't do less than 100,000 a year on the main team sponsor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Countershaftcounter 360 Posted March 22, 2017 More than that. I heard Matt won't do less than 100,000 a year on the main team sponsor. In that case I can't wait to see him splash the cash on some British assets for once 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BurntFaceMan 413 Posted March 22, 2017 More than that. I heard Matt won't do less than 100,000 a year on the main team sponsor.  Does quite clearly state a 5 figure sum, so clearly not as much as £100,000. Matt Ford said last week he had received 4 offers for team sponsorship but didn't want to undersell his brand so held out. Guess Volvo have come up with the asking price. Rain has finally stopped but it has been very heavy and prolonged. Not sure if there will be enough time for it to dry out before 3 pm and practice.  And I'm guessing by the fact it was made last minute doesn't exactly sound like people were chomping at the bit!  A five figure sum could be anywhere between £10,000 and £99,999 so it doesn't really give much away. With previous sponsorship deals being six figure sums and the league currently struggling, its anybodies guess as to how much it really was.  Still, a sponsor of any form is better than no sponsor at all.
