Dream Team : Jamie Rees

I'm a supporter of the Poole RIAS Pirates and have been for the past 4 years. I now have the opportunity to work at the stadium on speedway nights as a member of the track staff team!!!

Bjarne Pedersen
Bjarne has improved year-upon-year with the Pirates since joining us in 2002. He has been a great influence to many of the young upcoming riders in the Elite League and he is a valuable member of our team. Helped the Pirates to back-to-back league titles in 2003 and 2004.

Andreas Jonsson
I choose Andreas because he is such an entertaining rider and I enjoy watching him ride everytime he comes to our track. I love his riding style, fast and flowing, he is not afraid to do anything as he showed last year in the SWC final at Poole.

Tony Rickardsson
I don't have to say why I choose this man. He's just an unbelievable rider who has done so much for the sport of speedway. He will always be a legend of the sport. It's sad to think that he is retiring at the end of this coming season. Let's hope he wins that 7th World Championship this year!

Billy Hamill
It's nice to see him back in the Elite League, England is where he belongs. He has so much experience in Britain riding for so many British clubs alongside Greg Hancock to make them one of the best partnerships in the league. Last year especially when Oxford won the Craven Shield in Billy's first year back in England.

Krzysztof Kasprzak
Krzysztof has been an absolute revelation with the Pirates, last year in particular becoming the 3rd highest averaged in the team. He is also my favourite member of the team along with Bjarne.

Daniel Davidsson
Won the treble with the Pirates in 2003 as they took the Elite League, the BSPA cup and the knockout cup. All in his first full year in the top flight.

Antonio Lindback
The Swedish sensation he will be a future world champion for sure. He's been an absolute revelation since joining Poole in 2003 and he made an impact straight away by helping us to all three titles that year!!
