I think he'll be a better rider than Chris and Doyle and Garry will sort out his attitude. I doubt anyone will do that with Chris. No, i dont think he will be that good. But he should turn out a useful rider. If he stays sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I figure that if you fake a track problem because you've got riders missing then you deserve all you get, especially if you do it so poorly. But then competence was never high on the agenda for the Chuckle Brothers in charge at the time was it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted March 19, 2018 I agree with you and that’s why it constantly baffles me that other teams get away with it. It doesn’t really, I know full well why The Aces got punished again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally believe he can put on at least a point and a half on his average this season tbh. Just needs to keep his attitude in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand what you mean and I criticised our management at the time. On the other hand nobody guessed that the Poole meeting was cancelled so that it couldn't adversely affect the intended team changes. Well to be exact, apparently nobody in authority did, the rest of us had no difficulty catching them out red handed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So it's okay to penalise a team that can't practise because of the weather when others have?? Matt Ford has agreed to it so there is really nothing make an issue of. I see that Shovlar has his wooden spoon out, it's quite funny tho. Because its on the same day as a re arranged P&P. surely you are not allowed to do the. The BSPA must step in. Surely Wolves should be punished for this. Edited March 19, 2018 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better put it out to everyone then, though I can’t find it on the Poole website. Steve Arthurs post was tongue in cheek mate, in reply to Stevebrums post. Surely that is not right, you cannot postpone a league meeting in place of a P&P day. Thats not right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sidney the robin 4,735 Posted March 19, 2018 I really rate Jack Holder as a rider and i think he can be a great signing for Somerset last year was a learning curve for him and i believe he can kick on now and average over 7 this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack has the POTENTIAL, to be a good rider but like Kyle Newman, he has to stay clear of injuries, thats what stopped Kyles progression. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DunRobin 465 Posted March 19, 2018 Poole the team that never do anything wrong. It's only the other league members that do. Seems to make sense to me to delay the Wolves/Poole meeting due the present conditions of the track & Wolves not being able to run the P & P day. Imagine if Wolves hadn't done it & Poole got turned over. There would be furore from the old blue tints. Why should we have to ride on a sub standard track? Everybody knows Holder's love of wet tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everybody knows Holder's love of wet tracks. Wolves have changed there P&P day to the same day as the meeting, and posponed the meeting, they cannot do that. Nothing to do with the track nor conditions. Im sure you lot wouldnt complain if they did the same to you ??? Edited March 19, 2018 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
