EDDIE Howe has thrown his support behind Pirates ahead of tomorrow's high-stakes clash with Swindon.
The Cherries boss is keen to see the Wimborne Road club back in the play-off final having missed out last season.
Howe told the Daily Echo: "I wish Poole luck.
"I know Matt Ford very well so I wish him well and I wish his team well."
The first-leg fixture is due to get under way at 7.30pm.
