Unfortunately our first meeting is at Wolves so I am not expecting much from him there.

I agree but he will get a good reception at Poole especially after a couple of good meetings, he may not get a great reception elsewhere especially Kings Lynn but he deserves a chance to put the past behind him. He has been a terrific servant to Poole over the years and will do a great job for the team.

Yes that sounds good, Matt Ford liked the bouncy track because it gave us home advantage, personally i prefer a smooth track so we get better racing

That is what i call an example!

I don't think it is fair to compare anyone to Darcy.

Oh I see resorting to abuse now. We can tell your feeling better!!

You start by saying Holder had a lot on his plate, then go on to say if you were ill what would you think about, all of your post is about Chris Holder so why is it so strange that I thought you meant Chris Holder was ill even with the extra apostrophe!

In the context of the sentence it infers you were talking about Chris Holder being ill.

Clearly you don't know what an example means. If you write Holder had been ill that isn't an example.

You said he was ill, that is a statement not an example. So next time I don't like my conditions at work, I can down tools and my boss will understand that I have had a lot on my plate lately will he?

Dry roasted?

When was he ill? I know he has gone through a lot, I was at Coventry the night of his crash and at Kings Lynn the night of his refusal to race. I just said in my opinion he isn't the rider he was.

Well I think from the first post, this thread is about averages, Holder isn't the rider he was, we all know that if we are realistic but he performed so badly last year that he will improve his average but I have my doubts that it will be a massive improvement as some seem to think.

I completely agree, obviously should be a steal on his current average but he lost a lot of respect that night and if Matt Ford had allowed it probably would now be at Somerset with his brother. He has been a fantastic rider for Poole and always liked him as a person but he will have to work hard to get the respect back, a rider of his quality should have, especially from non Poole fans.

Really!

He won't improve his average this year maybe drop a little

Bates and Newman will be fine, good riders with plenty of potential.

Yes I agree it's going to be a close contest this season which can only be a good thing, personally like the look of the Leicester team has a lot of potential.

Personally think Belle Vue will be behind Leicester and Poole.

Haha good one!

Does it matter who was coming for this season, why do we need Dudek when we have a fantastic team to look forward to watching and rightly installed as favourites. I would love to see Dudek here but that won't happen anytime soon.

We are favourites every year but we certainly have more chance of winning this year.

Don't think Kurtz is that far behind at the moment and i expect him to outscore Fricke in England once again.

Kurtz has a higher average which means he was the better rider last season in England and in my opinion more room for improvement. Whether either can be a regular GP rider is very much open to question.

You may not like this season's normal quite as much!
