After seeing the pathetic way Chris Holder conducted himself last season im surprised any side would want him. Has the ability but the ego is way to high and he is on the downgrade and somehow kept his gp place. KK is not exactly Mr role model either but after his performances for Rye last season i can 100% understand why the Rye fans would want him over Holder. Half a season completely dire, half a season more improved. I see it too but a full season? ?? Good luck. At least Holder has been fully committed to the top flight until this season. Personally wouldn't really want either on those averages but if it had to be Holder I could live with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 441 Posted December 27, 2017 Holders a t0sser, wouldn't want him. KK enjoyed riding a properly prepared track, riding with good blokes & under a management that like to build a good spirit. Couldn't fault his attitude at all at the end of last season & should be a no brainer to claim the last spot on his average. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure same guy does Poole and Rye House. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 441 Posted December 28, 2017 ^This wally trying to patronise, but just making itself look silly. Bless. So what the same guy does the track. Completely irrelevant. One is billiard table smooth, the other a motocross track. For a so called glamour club, the track at Poole is an absolute embarrassment. It's like Man City having to play on a Hackney Marshes pitch at the Etihad. Ford can't be bothered to invest in it. Clear to see. Must be a massive reason that crowds have dropped alarmingly over the years at Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

therefused 819 Posted December 28, 2017 I find it funny how people come in here and defend the Poole track, yet everytime it’s on tv it’s awful but it’s labelled a one off. The Poole track is an embarrassment every week everyone knows it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted December 28, 2017 It is fair to say the track has had it's ups and downs! It was much better last season though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,050 Posted December 28, 2017 I dont go to Poole and havent since the Mark Loram farewell. I was there at the world cup when Havvy and Rempala had that race and Jonsson was unreal. The track everytime on tv is just awful and the riders dont like it thats facts not opinion. It was once very good and is now poor unless its good for the non televised stuff. That said the track at my club Ipswich doesnt lend itself to great racing either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame, I used to look forward to my visits to watch racing there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was also there and whilst I agree matches on the TV have looked really bumpy, it must be said that it was completely smooth the night we were there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
