I was there that day and Nielsen went into the third bend pretty much mid track which gave Tony the chance to move out wide and then coming out of the 4th bend able to swoop up the inside as Hans was basically just lost in mid track. Hans in my mind played it safe round turns 3 and 4 and left himself open to a move like Rickardsson made. Nothing against Hans at all just feel in that race he didnt ride the race properly

There are none so blind as those who cannot see

To this day i still cant believe the conservative way Nielsen rode in the run off against Rickardsson in the 1994 run off.

Poole over the years have made more changes than most. Sometimes it works but then like last season for Poole it can go horribly wrong. Swindon have weak reserves maybe but Poole look like having the weakest number one so it evens out

Not moody at all...................just hoping that a rule Poole used to get AM can be the same rule that means Holder goes to Somerset. Funny how some Poole fans dont like it when it happens back to them!

I can only think 2 things on this: Ford wanted Hans and Chris and circumstances means he gets neither Or he has some other big name lined up. Cant see who is available in Europe that would make Poole stronger than having Hans or Chris. Ford could be cutting his nose off to spite his face. After 2 poor seasons by Pooles standards he needs to deliver a team capable of challenging this season

Ah bless you Differences of opinion is trolling is it? Have a little look at Shovlar and Matt Ford fan on Swindons thread my dear! A team was put up on here by DC2 and i thought it looked poor.......it probably wont be the Poole team. Hans has said he isnt coming back....Jack has already gone.....and Chris looking less likely..........so please tell me how that is trolling??? Oh and please can you tell your own fan , Rayc, to also stop trolling as he also though that DC2 team would be bottom. Thanks for your time and insight into Pooles team

Be lucky to not be bottom with that team. No Holders and no Andersen and so far no Brits................all isnt well down Dorset way i would say

Its well known what Shovlar is, he is told by all members often enough

Looking great for Poole. You got 2 Poles who may or may not show their true form. You got a half decent number one in Kurtz. Josh G would be solid enough but hardly a stellar signing. Holder trying to dictate to the club so unlikely he will be back. And you named about 40 riders who might ride for Poole yet so far none have signed. Could be worrying times does nobody want to ride for Poole anymore On the other hand Swindon have named 6 solid riders meaning they in all liklihood will never be beat at home

Obvious that both Holders are bad news.

Rye will always be strong at home. Couldnt see a team that weak at reserve romping the league. Doyle will be solid but Nicholls and Harris only going one way, KK unpredictable as well. Good team, play off material but romping the league....no

Spot on Either reassess everyone or nobody its not difficult. No issue with Woryna on his low average but then leave riders like Tai and Zagar on theirs! Not rocket science

Swindons top 5 is very strong especially at home and with Zach in reserve even more so. Im struggling to see how ive had a sly dig at Poole? I feel Swindon and the rumoured Belle Vue team will be strong. Poole look to be building a decent side, but there is a doubt over Holder now and nobody can say with any certainty how the 2 new Poles will go. As i said last season Poole were hot favourites but it all went very wrong.

spot on as always! why the forum puts up with trolls is beyond me

Not sure there will be a stronger top 5 in the whole league. That team with Zach at 6 will be pretty much unbeatable at home i would say

Woffinden has genuine reasons not to ride here. Lambert is nowhere near Tai's level so no idea why he isnt doing Britain

very strong looking team would have the best 2 reserves in the league for sure. Lambert and Holder a good a top two as there could be. Can one of Holder , Lawson and Riss step up. Riss has looked so good everytime ive seen him at Foxhall

If thats the top 5 for Swindon and Zach in reserve then they will be favourites for the league along with Belle Vue

I remember in 1990 he hitchhiked all the way to Lvov when Chris Louis won the world under 21 trophy. 3rd that day was a certain Tony Rickardsson ....whatever happened to him! Saw Noddy at Ipswich at the cup final.....truly a superfan

At the end of the day it doesnt matter what you think of someone you wouldnt wish ill health on them. The guy isnt a murderer or a criminal, he just a bit out there with his posts. Hope he gets better soon. I was struck down with strep 'a' pneumonia in November 2013 and ended up in a coma for 4 weeks and my wife was told twice to come and say goodbye. But i got back to full health and hope the same for Starman. It was the time when my work colleagues changed my picture to Lily Savage and started a topic that speedway needed more corners! All done in jest but i left the Lily pic!

Wouldn't wish ill health on anyone been in a similar position myself just over 4 years ago. Get well soon Starman

Exactly my point! they look decent signings but only time will tell. And who is this Arthur Fry thing? Never posts about the team just has a go at me!! Bit of a saddo I guess. it just cracks me up how he and Lisa and Gater1/MattFordFan just jump on my posts without reading them! Made themselves look a tad foolish this time

Right so ive come on the thread and made comments on the Poole team 1. Woryna is a good signing 2. Not sure on the other Pole 3. Always a danger Polish form doesnt translate over here 4. Some Poole fans were cocky this time last year 5. Pooles team LOOKS GOOD If you have issues with any of those points try having a debate!!!
