Can't remember what SS said he'd do if THAT Poole team didn't win the league??, hopefully he will remember what he posted and honour it. On paper it was the strongest looking side for a few years, but as you know, it doesnt always work out, hence changes have to be made. And if they do, Matt will make them.

Holder was always going to be the weak link and it should have been spotted on the P&P day when the promoter sheepishly announced there was a problem. Should have priced him out of the UK market at circa £50k price tag and waved him on his way. As it happens, it appears the Border Control Agency have done us a favour. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not wrong just that the riders brought in didn't ride to their capabilities. Personally i always said letting Hans go was a mistake and Holder's issues haven't helped but changes have been made and we are riding as a team. It doesn't matter how you start the season.

They might possibly be able to bring in someone who is better around Poole than either of those two to make more of a meeting of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lions had Starke for Auty tonight at Wolves, then swapped him for David Howe .Maybe Starke for the Poole meeting. We shall see.
