Poole Pirates' Danny Ford 'really proud' of track preparations | Bournemouth Echo
Track Preparations
Danny Ford, of the Poole Pirates speedway team, highlights the extensive efforts undertaken to prepare the track for recent home matches against Berwick and Redcar Bears. Significant watering was done to prevent dust formation in the warm weather.
Positive Outcome
Ford and the track curator dedicated considerable time, starting early in the morning, to ensure the track was in top condition. He expressed his satisfaction with the minimal dust levels during the matches, despite the 25-degree heat.
Upcoming Match
The Poole Pirates' next home match is scheduled for early July against Glasgow Tigers at Wimborne Road.
For both home meetings against Berwick and against Redcar Bears last week, a lot of water has been put down in the build up to aim to prevent dust and ensure the track was in good condition.
Ford said he and the track curator had spent much of the previous day at the track going through preparations – and he was proud of the outcome.
“We it started yesterday,” he told the Daily Echo.

“We did the absolute best we could and I'm proud of the effort we put in.
“There was little to no dust tonight, which on an evening like tonight, 25 degrees, baking all day in the sun was really positive. So, yeah, really proud of the team.”
