hampshire3321 22 Posted December 9, 2018 I know of someone who was looking at Sponsoring Poole before Volvo picked it up as a tax break and after looking at the demographic of the supporters and speaking with another big firm who sponsor another club/riders they decided that putting money into the sport would not reflect well on there company. One thing he said to me was after reading message boards (It was the poole one at the time) was that it was like listening to kids squabble in the playground. I had a meeting with him for some projects i have with them in the next few months and mentioned in passing that the club was for sale - He laughed and said no fool will buy it - Cant really argue with it can you. Hopefully someone will though as it would be a shame to see it disapeer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think its going to have to drastically drop down in sale price for anyone to consider maybe it could be bought for a pound if worse comes to the worse.

thecoombdog 2,367 Posted December 9, 2018 Had a few months off from this place. Can see a lot of the same boring arguements are still going on. But just wondered where Matt Ford Fan is these days? Thought he would be full of it in here after the play offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
