semion 2,192 Posted March 30, 2019 Sad really when you see a club like Poole who once had the reputation of signing all the top riders and being the one club allthe big guns were desperate to ride for. Probably the most professional run club for a good number of years. Now reduced to looking like Ragbag Utd. Couldn’t the Poole fans on here set up a crowd funding to buy some team Kevlars. The likes of Shovvy, and his love for Piratesshould be good for a few K How about it Steve ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New co-promoter Danny Ford explained that there was the chance of a new sponsor set to fund team kevlars but the deal fell through at the last moment - BUT hasn't ruled them out for the future as they are still seeking new sponsors..

It must be expensive to fund 14 kevlars over the season for the merry-go-round of the pie rats 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 30, 2019 In 1998 teams wore suits over their kevlars... couldnt they do the same. Ipswich and Coventry had their own kevlars though, think other teams did too. If a guest was needed then they wore the spandex onesie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks much better for guest riders and would be a much more affordable way for the lesser clubs than race jackets, whilst looking better too.

semion 2,192 Posted March 30, 2019 Why not go back to the old days when on a wet day riders would wear a boiler suit over their leathers. Each club could wear a different colour. Thats me saving all clubs a few K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was being chased very hard by Richie Worrall and tried to cover his run round the outside of bends 1 & 2, unfortunately he got the exit all wrong and bailed off just in time at high speed into the fence at the start of the back straight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted April 7, 2019 Good to see someone from Poole admitting the holes are there. Credit to Josh, even if it does make some others there look a little economical with the truth. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
