Hans had some massive crashes last year which would take most riders a long time to get over, in fact some would say he was lucky to be able ride again.He is a rider who wears his heart on his sleeve and gives everything for his club so i would expect a big improvement on his current average after a bad year.
Personally i would say Hans must be nailed especially on his current average, be a major shock if he doesn't return,also Oostergaard would be a good reserve especially at home and i would expect Tungate also. The makings of a good solid team with no weak links.
well you say that about the track but the Poole meeting I went to last season was fantastic racing best I have seen in years, apparently that wasn't the norm last season but if they can prepare a track like that once then they must be able to do it at most meetings.
You're not staying in this country then! it is almost impossible for the majority of fans to go to every match even if they could work round holidays , there is sickness, family matters , bereavement, loads of things that could stop you going especially as most fans are not youngsters.
I don't think the crowds will be affected too much, we have a decent team that is successful then it may be a little down but not much. I have been to tracks in the lower leagues before and crowd levels seem good.
