Even if the Council have a developer ready and waiting with a Plan that would require approval, I cannot see anything happening until 2024 at the very earliest - and thats without any formal protests, objections and/or legal challenges!!

Arthur54 1,302 Posted April 4, 2022 The stadium was given to the people of Poole for sports, and Poole have always had the full backing of the council, so fingers crossed there is a place there for the pirates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamonds85 700 Posted April 4, 2022 As far as I'm aware the speedway is the biggest sports team in Poole?? So why would the council just let them go without a fight. Is Poole the last 'speedway town' in the whole country? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the speedway owner owns the stadium makes it a lot easier though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted April 5, 2022 This thread will soon become 'which club will fold next' prediction.... I guess 'we' (bham) will most likely be favourites. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the stadium is owned by the Dugards( Eric and his wife?), but last year's speedway business was 'run' by primarily Ian Jordon. That's why everything should be back up and running next year, stadium still owned by people who want speedway to continue, will need some good promoting from Trevor Geer etc though, but at least the people involved next year will be Eagles through and through. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
