21 year old Czech International Matej Kus is one of the new faces that Pirates fans can cheer on when the club are involved in some end of season challenges against Eastbourne and Ipswich next month.
The original idea of a mini-league concept has not come to fruition and so the Pirates will be pitched against the Witches in the Coastal Windows Trophy and the Eagles in the Drapers Tool Trophy.
Kus, who has had experience of British racing having been a member of the Berwick Bandits side in 2007 and he made newspaper headlines when recovering from unconsciousness after a track crash. Kus, 18 at the time, woke and astonished the medical crew as he began talking in fluent English rather than the broken English he had been getting by on before the crash.
Kus, who scored 2 points for his country in this season's SWC round in Vojens, is one of a number of young riders that Poole boss Matt Ford has been following with interest, and he told www.poolespeedway.net "When we had the early season news about Jason (Doyle) and Kyle (Legault) being long term absentees I contacted Matej with a view to bringing him in for the season but he couldn't commit for a full term at that stage so we put the arrangement on ice at that time and Matej is certainly keen to come back to ride in Britain this year. Our matches against Ipswich and Eastbourne provides an ideal platform for us to give Matej a trial and I am pushing hard on trying to sort out formalities with a couple of other promising youngsters as well."
It is well known that father-to-be Bjarne Pedersen will step down from these meetings and spend more time looking after his partner Lone ahead of the birth of their child due on October 9th but it remains to be seen which of the other current crop of Pirates may step aside to allow the Poole management the opportunity to trial some new faces for prospective 2010 contracts. _________________ click here for the latest front page news
Great news as I can't be there for the Ippo meeting I haven't seen my last speedway yet! _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...
How about the powers that be trying to get Nicki P as a guest for this meeting. It would raise the profile as he is still the current world champion, and maybe would help to attract someone to promote next year.
totally agree , especially a true number one eagle , even for one match only , not a failed number one that we would not travel to see . be a BIG crowd for that one , waata way to go out , wow
Agree it would be nice to see Pedersen back. It is about the only thing that would lure me to an otherwise pointless meeting. But I guess it isn't going to happen. And the Aussies (if they have any sense) will have fled the oncoming English winter by then. So the teams will be patched up a bit. No thanks. For me, season 2009 is dead, buried and best forgotten. I'm far more interested in how the BSPA plan to cope with 2010. Sadly, I doubt if their plans will include Eastbourne, and frankly, I doubt if they care very much. Why oh why is it that so many sports seem to be run and administered by total incompetents. Governments too. Oops, sorry for the rant guys. Got a bit carried away -again!.
Yes it would be nice to see Nicki P back in an Eagles suit but as it been said it will never happen. I mite be going to this meeting depending if I can find the funds for it. If this is going to be our last year then it sad to go out with a bad season and this is our 80th too which is sad. _________________ The mighty Eastbourne Eagles

That is probably the best idea I've heard all year... _________________ Check out my Pic's site. Click on WWW below...

I just think that this would show potential interested parties that Eastbourne can (still) attract top riders. Nicki has always said he enjoys riding the track at Arlington, so what have we/they got to lose?
I'm no expert on marketing or promotion but I'm convinced he would add enough paying customers to cover the cost of his fee.
Surely they've got to do something out of the ordinary to make this a worthwhile and attractive proposition.
I'm not sure that I'd be making the journey just to watch the usual suspects in a meaningless meeting... especially if a certain Mr Watt is still wearing our no.1 race suit.
think emjay , as usual , is right . if " they " make no effort to have it special then many of us will not bother . gotta be worth the time , journey and cost . think cam will be on his way back to oz so simon and lukas , maybe ricky too , are worth it --- but poole team will be a shadow . intrest now is in what , hopefully , may be happening next season . but as others post---- nicky would get me there too .
Bob agreed to this fixture to see what support there will be for next year. To me that means if you want speedway next year be there for whatever is on offer. It will be the riders' end of term speeches in any event and may be the last chance to meet old friends.
