Pollyanna 1 Posted May 23, 2009 The reason I came to the conclusion that Harris wasn't the most popular winner was before the final the announcer said who is cheering for .... and both Kennett and Woffinden got a much better reception than Richardson and Harris. Most seemed to be rooting for Woffinden, due to being a youngster not affiliated with Coventry, and then Kennett. Harris was warmly applauded on his win but it certainly wasn't the people's choice of who they would have wanted to lift the title. A very good meeting overall though. Strange, because I thought that Bomber's win was very popular in the Stadium and among the Poole supporters with and around us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Just the usual Shovlar stirring because he rides for Coventry, Pollyanna. I've been to Poole and I've always thought their fans are very fair, like Ipswich's, and appreciate and applaud visiting riders as well as their own. I can't imagine why any fan wouldn't like Chris Harris and want him to do well. I'd like to bet he got a good reception when he won the British Final so I'd rather believe you than someone who is known to tell lies just to wind people up.

lisa-colette 6,018 Posted May 23, 2009 Steve is right in that kennett and tai got a louder cheer when the lineup for the final was introduced to the crowd. Tai got the loudest!! But bomber did get a good reception when the trophies were handed out but not as loud as i expected as bomber has been one of the most popular away riders at poole in recent years.

lisa-colette 6,018 Posted May 24, 2009 Not over our side side he didn't Well a friend was screaming whenever tai came out, so that may have clouded my judgement! I was cheering for all of them apart from lee (only cos i wanted to see one of the younger riders get the wildcard, nothing personal against lee!), but when i was cheering for kennett i was getting some crazy looks, like i was insane or something! .......As if!
