More fools peterbourgh. if they had the chance to sign him they messed up big time.  It seems Poole was always on the agenda, who knows how that conversation went and befored hand. That wouldnt have been the first time Mick had contacted Matt...;)

Course they were. That's why he had several spins round Peterborough and stayed with a Whittlesey landscape gardener when Mick Poole (not Poole Speedway) brought him over here. Mick's intention was for Holder to sign for Panthers. Yes, more fool Peterborough, but don't make out every rider coming to this country that Ford gets his mitts on is discovered by him.

I think you will find that the only reason Chris wasn’t interviewed was simply because the i/v’s were not pre-arranged and done after all the riders had finished on track. By the time the video guy went to get Chris, he had already left the stadium. Nothing sinister at all.

Maybe he's still bitter about being at Poole and not at his preferred choice of Somerset?

He did mention when interviewed pre-season last year that he could stay at Troy's or a friends in Whittlesey.

I also don't recall Matt Ford taking the credit for Chris's original appearance on these shores back then. He was instrumental in bringing him back over when he started riding here though. It wouldn't be impossible to confuse the two issues ten or so years down the line.

Unfortunately our first meeting is at Wolves so I am not expecting much from him there.

Last 6 scores of 8, 8, 3, 14, 3, 7.

Only  2 are below his current average and his score of 14 proves he can ride it if he wants too!

Yeh, but when you think about it, Magic couldnt grasp Wolves for love nor money, but once he got the hang of iit he was away. Chris has had more practice, Kyle Newman soon mastered it, im suprised that they didnt make a play for him. Wolves is not rocket science, Chris should have figured it by now.

You don't score 14 points if you haven't figured it out.

Seems he isn't consistent enough on track at Monmore tho.

Thats true Steve, but you would have thought Chris would have figured it out by now.

It's a weird one . I've seen him ride it really well. I guess he just isn't a fan of racing on it most times.
