Sir Sidney Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) 2 hours ago, Catalan said: He doesn't own the land, more akin to Torquay situation Don't forget he already has a new company set up https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/15294058/filing-history What purpose could he have for a company called Poole Motorsports? Who knows, but I'd be astonished if he built a replacement stadium for Poole Speedway Edited 16 hours ago by Sir Sidney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why Poole Speedway and BCP need to be on their toes, they are preparing the ground work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osborne and Lewis are both Directors of Steel Life Group. Also, are you aware they set up a 2nd Poole Motorsports company in September this year? Poole Motorsports (No2) LTD. This one has Osborne and Lewis in it, whereas the original Poole Motorsports was Osborne only. Edited 15 hours ago by frigbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading, Swindon, Birmingham, Coventry and Poole - my message would be, you come for Poole but you will be up against one hell of a fight, we won’t be push overs. We need to keep winning trophies and be well supported, get a commercial manager in place and attract some big money sponsors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to keep winning trophies and be well supported, get a commercial manager in place and attract some big money sponsors. Plus Milton Keynes and Torquay United. They'll play every card going, so it's critical to get Council and MP hearts and minds on your side and paint a very clear picture of their back-story.

LisaColette Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago 17 hours ago, Pirates Of Poole said: If Cala homes win a bid to build on the stadium site, they must find an alternate site for the stadium built before any works can take place the new stadium would need to be finished. We all know what will happen with Osborne involved if that didn’t happen. Sounds very similar to Swindon. Only key difference is council own land the stadium is on. Fingers crossed can keep them on side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be all part of the story that'll be fed to the Council when the time comes, regarding sourcing a new 'home for the Pirates'!! Incidentally, in the recent 'Call for sites' by BCP Council to come up with its revised Local Plan (the original being turned down by the Local Government Office!), The Poole Stadium site was one of 118 sites (yes, 118!) suggested for possible development, This was a development suggestion by Cala Homes for 200+ homes!! This process will take some time eg. 3-4 years, even assuming the Council accept the proposal and include it specifically in the next Local Plan submissions. In the meantime Danny Ford is predicting a far more 'open' Championship in 2026 and he is 'excited' at the 1-7 he is looking at - even better than the 'strength-in-depth 7' in 2025!! Incidentally in his latest Echo interview today there is the suggestion that the BSN series will be an early season competition!
