I am lucky to have travelled the world for business and in most countries end up supporting the local team, be it football or their own sport. A few years back I spent time in the Czech Republic and it has been Sparta Praha (Prague) ever since. My contacts know that I was football mad have followed the progress of Oxford and for the last two season Poole Town, over the internet. They have been threatening to come over and watch us some time, but I didn't think they meant it. Imagine my surprise to hear that the Sparta Poole Fan Club have booked their flights over for the Bemerton game - All three of them ! They will also join us for the OGRI and the Cafe Racers concert that night. It seems they know what they have let themselves in for, their expectations regarding our ground and level we play at have been set correctly...........and it is Poole that they want to see on their travels, not Man U, Chelsea or Arsenal. Is this the furthest someone will have travelled to watch Poole? On the 10th April join me in welcoming the Sparta Poole Fan Club - Jaroslav, Jules and Libor.

Dear FC Poole fans, we would like to thank you for invitation to see your match against ugly Bemerton team, specially we want to thank Mark. We met him some years ago in dirty Warsawa and again in our beautiful Praha and we had nice talking about your and ours = sparta praha football situation. Immediatelly we recognized that Sparta Praha has small sister in UK, so we go to support u and see real nice game. We NEVER EVER would go to Slavia Wimborne or Hamworthy, we already hate them!, unless it is to see Sparta Poole win there. We are even too sure about Swindon becuase Oxford don't like them, but Charlie is SPARTAN.

First we know Mark as Oxford fan and he dislikes Swindon, so do we, but we know Charlie is doing good job for them. He is true Spartan.

OLE that Jarda. But stfcinbmth is a Poole fan first, same as me (now). Perhaps we could teach him to dislike Slavia. Maybe you can have a beer with him on 10th.
Pehaps we can arrange for a clash of the Spartans next season - Poolve v Praha?

Slepe12 - I will point them in your direction, but they are real footballing people, so as such will be joining the RWA behind the goal.

I used to go to the speedway with my mum and my 'uncle' Bert Steve. I loved it. I bet you can't remember Ken Middleditch, Bert Crutcher, Cyril Roger et al can you ?

Brian, I am only 35!! My father was at the very first meeting when Reg Craven was killed in the very first race at the stadium. We knew Richard 'dicky' Howard who lived 'up the road' in Fernside road. I must confess it is Mandy who is the original fan and since we have been together she has got me really into it and I love it. My favourite rider by far to have ever worn the 'skull and crossbones' is the one and only 'Mark Loram' who incidently became world champion while he was at Poole in 2000. I have never seen a speedway bike ridden the way Mark did. I was in his fan club and attended a few social's with him. Mark was forced to retire due to an horrific crash in 2007: Mandy and I are attending a dinner for Mark in Bournemouth on the 27th April when he is officially inducted into the pirates 'Hall of Fame'.. www.poolespeedway.net/10-website/menu.php

Do the Sparta boys realise we play in similar shirts to Slavia Prague?
...& have they heard of a band called Praguedren?
