Any buyer should say they want to run in the NL then, to get the cheapest price! In terms of valuation, I’d guess there might be: a premium to pay for the remaining years of any lease of the stadium, although that would be minimal unless there is a clear more lucrative use, the value of any equipment, a sum for the rider assets, calculated against their likely loan fees or cost to acquire a similar rider, a sum for the “goodwill” (the fan base that Poole have built up), calculated as a percentage of the average attendance for the last three years or as a multiple of the average profit for the last three years (and I would not want to pay more than one times the average profit if it is falling).

ray c 2,299 Posted November 2, 2019 I find it quite sad when you see all the clubs having end of season events and our club don't have anything not even a rider of the year award .just shows how the interest has faded over the last couple of years 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daz9100 270 Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I heard that we also made a loss the year before too. Hence why another year of losses would have seen us close down. Edited November 2, 2019 by daz9100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only year they made a loss was this year! Every one of the other 20 years the club has at the very least broken even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure but I think MF bought a hotel somewhere abroad and maybe he needs the cash? So that’s why he wants out of speedway? He’s smart bloke and he can see Poole going down the tubes fast in Premier League and he think Danny can not cut it! Move to CL is a brave move or a desperate last ditch effort to shore up the club and sell it and get some money? Trouble is no one in there right minds will buy into a speedway club. But maybe there’s some idiots still out there! Time will tell.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No reason it can't become so again. Or, if it loses money and you have other business interests you can use the losses for taxation advantages potentially.
