Both used the British league to suit themselves. Both equally as guilty of using our league for their own means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So now riders cant come back to ride over here unless they are replacing an injured rider...........laughable. Both Hancock and Woffinden came back to help sides try and win the league while at the same time keeping them fit for the gp's as there was less meetings elsehwhere. Yes Joonas was doing his job but they had the chance to bring in a better rider....its a no brainer. Im sure if Poole could have replaced KK with a Woffinden or an Iversen they would have done.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted December 27, 2017 I believe that the club could benefit from a permanent shop in the town. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted December 28, 2017 Has to be said that I think Ford is losing interest in Poole and is just ticking over these days. Doesnt seem to want to spend the money on the club that he used to. Whether its because the rumours of the stadium closing in the near future are actually true or he has just lost interest altogether, who knows. But the past few seasons things havent been their usual self at Poole thats for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well he has just had a hugely successful popupnshop in Poole with tons of new merch, plus employed the same designer that Man City use, plus a new company for internet promotions/ twitter/ facetime/ etc. This years team looks like its going to be the team to judge others by and be very exciting. So I disagree that Matt is losing interest. I think Pirates will be back with a vengeance next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it gives you a presence in the town. I am sure most towns have shops for the local sports clubs. Speedway is Poole's primary sport so why not have a permanent shop, I'm sure Peterborough has a shop for it's primary sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
