Reguardless of killers standing, he didnt set the world alight, Richie will score well for us. And i expect Chris back sooner, rather than later. Then things will change.

Yeh, then watch the mouthy clowns run for the hills. Joy would be overwhelming if we came bk from this... We will not lay down and take it, and im dam sure that Matt wont..

Steve. I sent you a message mate, could you please return.. Thanks.

You dont, ok then..

His attitude was lacking mate because he's had a hell of a lot on his plate in the last two years or so. Not witholding the fact his best mate ends up in a wheelchair, that alone would have taken the wind out of his sails.. It wouldnt have suprised me had he packed it up. He didnt he's keen and he will do well for us when, he gets this visa issue sorted. And i comend him for standing up to it all.

He will

You are both very wrong. You are purely speculating. THAT, is just not, true. You do not know what Chris has been through, and if you had problems i dare say you wouldnt fancy work either. Please do not speculate. He will be back, he was very happy to be at poole on P@P day. Its clearly readable in the star now, Red tape as you will probably know can be a real nusance and very time consuming. IE, left hand doesnt know what the righthand is doing. We see it all the time in all walks of life.

No, we havnt dropped him, he has issue appart from his own personal issue but with his visa to ride here. Its well in the throws of being sorted, hopefully it wont be long now.

You have to say though, Kildemand didnt exactly set the world alight with his scores. Richie has rode well for us, and no disrespect Richie imo is a preference. Everybody is frustrated at Chris situation, but hopefully, it will be resolved shortly.

At least he's not sitting still, he wants the club to move forward and im very sure he wants Chris back. We are not half way through the season, keep the faith, we will come good.

Be thankful, Matt is trying hard to eliviate the problem and get us the best posible option until Chris sorts his little problem.

Pardon ? No disrepect, but thats better. I really cannot fault Matts persistance.

Great, should be about 6-6.30 i would think.

MS has not raced here for at least 5 yr mate.

I don't agree with you that the poole team was built top heavy. If everybody was doing there jobs we would have strength right through the side. MS is a better rider than he's showing, he was 10th in the European stadings, good riders dont become bad riders over nyt without a reason, same as Woryna and Sunstrom, as i said in our aniversary meeting sunstrom scored 13-14 pts after he tweeked something and rode well. Josh is a bit up and down atm Brady appart from the odd blip has done what i expected of him. for me Kildemand was a bit dissapointing and i hope Smolenski is a stop gap. Things just have not gone.. yet. I do really hope Chris sorts out this issue and comes back to us, it will give the team fans sponsors the whole club a lift, then watch us go... The team that Matt put together looked very good on paper with bags of improvement in all of them and kept me going in hospital at that thought, i still have the belief in them, but we need to start finding our feet quick smart. All the foundations have been laid, we just need our boys to sort things out, which im very sure they will. People will moan whatever you do, damed if you do and damed if you dont. Matt was very happy with the side he put together, but its not happening, yet.

Im hoping he's just a stop gap mate. IF, Chris returns and i hope these stumblling blocks/red tape can be sorted he will be fine, and with everybody behind him it will give him and the team a lift, its not gone well and riders are under performing for whatever reason. I felt sorry for james as i said in another post, he went out of his way to fund new equipment and a 2nd nights racing. Before he left he scored paid 11 at Sheffield, he was not going to improve overnight but he would have got there , he is also the type of rider i would like to see John Davis get hold of to impriove his gating tech, like he did the poor late Lee Richardson. James was riding to his average and in time would have improved. But Matt has to do what he thinks is right for the club fans and sponsors in order to make the play off's, the club is built on success, and we dont take failier lightly.

Hopefully is a short term thing untill Chris sorts things out. Its not been a good start for us, not what we wanted.

Amen, very much so sid thank you. I met a girl at the brain injury group last friday who had the same op as me. She spent 11 days on ITU, then when she came out of hospital didnt leave the house for 5 mths. she had all the same post op symptoms concurrant with this op ie the panic attacks the extreme tiredness fatigue. She has half an eye on her right side . She could not believe i was sitting there like i am. I have so many people , poole fans coming up to me, shaking my hand and asking as to my welbeing, fans say they pray for me its humbling mate. I have OT's drs consultants my surgeon who is always, happy to talk if he's not in theatre. my GP who i have known sinse he was a medical student. As i have said before, the tumour was 2 inchs in diameter totally benign, it was a very deliacate operation. Some patients come out of this and not able to eat whole food, it has to be liquidised, i went straight on to solids without giving it a second thought. the following day i was up out of bed talking to the other patients My surgeon says it is highly, unlikely it will come back, they got it all out what they could see with the naked eyes, ie microscoped glasses, and the CT scan the following day backed that up. I have all my faculties i walk a lot, but have done no proper exercises for 5 mths, i have a physio coming to my house in 2 weeks time to work with me to sort out what i can do all arranged by the brain injury OT team. atm my nose is bunged up and my ears are going mad, the fluid sits then runs like a waterfall, you think its running down your face, but its not. Nothing is set in stone mate, so i want to do what i can, bucket list while i can, we are only here a short time in reality, so you have to do that, this has changed my life outlook big time, i will have MRI scans for the next 4 years, they will be a worry, everytime. But, i say to all those suffering from depression and axniety, ask yourself the question, why ? write it down if nessercary ask questions, believe me, ive been through hell and back but, there are a lot worse than me, and those that sadly dont make it. You are alive, you can go out you can do what you want to do. Theres a 43 yr old lad who comes to the headway group who is confined to a motorised wheelchair, his car was hit by a lorry 20 years ago whist the prat in the lorry was on his mobile, imagine what he went through, i wouldnt like to guess. There are many selfish people in this world, take a walk round the cancer wards or the Neuro surgical wards, they might just think differently. I owe my life to my surgeon, and a very dear friend of mine jayne, who i have known for 37 years who was before she retired senior Nursing coo- ordinator of poole maternity unit i went to see her before christmas she took me to cas, had she not been there, because she worked odd days gawd knows what might have happened to me. Whilst in poole general, i had a massive panic attack where my blood went wrong that was very scary, i lost hair in the op i have a numb righthandside of my head, but, im here im living walking talking seeing hearing and am very very greatful for that. It could have been oh so much worse. and i will always, remember that.

Thank you Aces 51. still a long way to go though.

Quite right Danny. it doesnt always work for a lot of people, but you will find some who will say, oh its worked for me to save face. As you and a lot on here know, ive just had a major brain tumour op in the last five months, im still recovering slowly. and its still very scary. I also suffer from Tinitus, im finding it hard to get it back down to the level it was before the op, hopefully it will but its not going to happen in 5 minutes. Axniety comes in different forms, mine stemmed from my panic attacks concurrant with this operation, id go to bed worrying if i was going to have one that night, they are not nice. Depression lives here, this is very hard, although ive come out, fairing better than a lot do after this op, its still hard and worrying, believe me, ive heard some stories from people who have had this op, ive been very, very lucky and had a very, good surgeon. but you have to occupy your mind to take it away, go for a walk in my case look at some racing form and breding or go for a walk, go and look round the shops, put on a DVD you know, you will watch, do something to take your mind away from any negative thoughts, take on positive thoughts. Not easy but it can be done. Willpower. Sometimes its good to talk to somebody who doesnt know you, but it would be far better to talk to somebody who does, providing they are re-assuring have patience and helpful. We all know what a problem it is getting an appointment with YOUR GP, but if you have questions you must ask, and your Dr will listen. make an appointment to see him/her as many times as you like, dont feel guilty, but you have to ask, it wont get offered., the same as if you speak to a specialist. Its also good to speak to somebody that has been through the same thing that gives you an insight, to hopefully, deal with it better. fight or flight, it works, but you have to make it happen. I am now in a position to talk to anybody who's had this op, i can give them an insight as to what to expect.. re-assurance these panic attacks do subside, the titainium pins will not move, dont do to much, you do get fatigued its normal. try not to get stressed , very hard nowadays, enlist as much help as you can from reliatives and friends/neighbours. but in my case you have to do it all, by the book, you dont bugger about with the Brain. Everybody has a different reason for there Aniety and depression, you have to find a way of dealing with it. In the meantime, my ears are singing like bloody canaries, and the head fluid is driving me round the bend, 1 2 3 and four...

I dont really get that one, or are you just trying to be funny.

Funnily enough Steve, Brady made his two worst starts off the two worst gates.

If thats the only pleasure you get then i feel really sorry for you.

Plenty of trolls and nasty people on here mate. Several have gone on ignore. I can count the decent posters on two hands nowadays sadly. there was some good conversation and banter going on today, sadly ruined by the mindless few.
