Interesting cos a fair few Poole fans on here knew not using Hans was a mistake. We are only doing well now as Harris can fill the Holder shaped hole pretty well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it looked like a mistake when CH couldn’t ride but it was the right call imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Too many times last season Hans settled for the position he was at after the second bend. Rode within himself to stay safe an maximise earnings around all leagues with the minimal of risk (overtaking) hugged the inside all too often to be picked off.

He didn’t call in with as many “sickies” as Holder did in his last year with us either. “I feel sick, I’ve got a headache, I’ve got toothache” to name just a few. Don’t recall him playing the same tricks with Torun or on GP weekends!!! Just an observation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t recall him playing the same tricks with Torun or on GP weekends!!! Just an observation. No that’s true, but he wanted to ride in every single meeting available anywhere. Hans is an older rider knowing he only has a short period left in the sport and is trying to make as much as he can, and rightly so. That means not taking undue risk which could put him out of action for a period. But it also means costing teams a win like Somerset at home last season.

SteveLyric2 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Not quite sure how a discussion on setting up donations for Bomber has turned into a who was better - Andersen or Holder' debate? Poole won nothing in 2016 or 2017 when Hans was in the team. Not saying that was down to Hans or any other individual rider but it might well explain why the promotion went for a very different 1-7 this year. One thing is for certain - if Chris Holder had managed to get his visa sorted and was included in this year's Poole side - then the attendances would have shot up far earlier than they now have with Bomber! ( and I'm not a particular fan of Holder either)! Anyway almost £800 donated for Bomber so far by 53 fans - not bad for the week after the SRBF collection at Poole Edited August 6, 2018 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe give us a list of things we are allowed to talk about then Skidder! Also, Hans was discussed plenty at the beginning of the thread!

Steve0 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 If only Poole fans were as generous to their injured riders as Glasgow fans were for Lewis Kerr (£2,014.53). Glasgow fans are a different class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that L-C, but it suddenly went from raising money for Bomber to why wasn't money raised for Hans when he blew an engine to Poole should have kept Hans - the latter being perhaps relevant at the beginning of the thread/season but hardly now?! Still, as i've said twice already - each to their own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
