Then, the following week we start the league campaign. on the 4/4 v Wolverhampton so it might not even be two weeks before Chris returns. Hopefully. so next fridays double header is not a official meeting then just a challenge meeting . matt when interviewed said 4 to 6 meetings kildermand will be riding so since that interview things must have change then ?

Now, clearly, he thinks the time off would be of more benifit to him than riding a bike half cock, which is perfectly understandable, its a dangerous enough sport as it is. Chris we all know wanted to link up with Brov, that is fully understandable, and guide him throught his career, but he seems perfectly happy to be at Poole, he is happy with the track as all the riders are, Glyn has done a great job, and it will be even better when we get a dry spell and he's done the finishing touches Glyn is at the trrack today. Chris was first out last week, he had a spring in his step, he had a dam good practice yesterday, but end of the day he is human.and he's feels he needs to give theses issues his full attention, and providing theres nothing lurking in the background, and as a fan of his i fully agree with it. Kildermand does not weaken us, and end of the day, unless there is something we are not being told,then Kildermand will step aside in two weeks time. not 4 5 6 weeks time....In the meantime, Kildermand will not ride a league meeting. Mate, you will always get those on here who will make a mountain out of a mole hill. Because,,, it is POOLE. Do you know if he's riding the pairs meeting in Poland Saturday or has he pulled out of this? I've just checked Sportfakty Poland & all it say's is that Holder has visa issues which is delaying his start although the translation isn't the best.

His interview somewhat contradicts 'personal problems' too - other than the well reported visa issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Call me wolfie 677 Posted March 22, 2018 Mmm something fishy going on, after last year's shenanigans it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he's trying to engineer a way out. After all it's well known he wanted to be at Somerset with his brother and Doyle this season. Sorry, I know he's had issues but I really think there's more to it, especially if he continues with his other commitments 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knightime 31 Posted March 22, 2018 Chris was suspended until April 13th - isn't that the reason - or did it get lifted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it held up well I will be there tomorrow afternoon to put back into shape. Before the rain comes on Thursday night Friday morning. Glyn Glyn would just like to say, I've been going since the knotts were promoter's, and I think this is the best it's been since they were here, fantastic job mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted March 22, 2018 3 hours ago, Starman2006 said: But they didnt have to cancel it, it could have been moved the other way... So in effect Matt has done you a favour. Why us RR when you can have a tempary replacement who's average will not come into play because he will not ride a league meeting ? Yes they did have to cancel it if there was no chance of practising before Monday. Poole have done the right thing agreeing to cancel. Wolves would have done the same if it was at Poole. There is no need to sign any one if Chris won't miss an 'official' fixture. Just don't get that at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW I can see Killer being here longer than a few weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
