PIRATES DECLINE PREMIERSHIP KO CUP INVITATION

9/01/25

Poole Speedway has made the decision not to participate in the 2025 Premiership Knockout Cup. While the invitation was both unexpected and exciting, several logistical and financial challenges have made it unviable at this time.

A key consideration was the significant cost of bringing top riders to the UK for a standalone competition. Additionally, competing in the Premiership KO Cup would require us to start our fixtures much earlier than planned, which isn’t ideal for our overall schedule.

We have also reached out to potential new sponsors, and while there has been some interest in supporting the Pirates for a potential Premiership return, the uptake has not been sufficient to make participation in this competition feasible for 2025.

Our focus remains on building on the success of our treble-winning 2024 season in the Cab Direct Championship, MAXiCab KO cup and BSN series.
