No guarantee Chris starting well, it took over half the season to get going last year, if that happened again then we would lose a lot of meetings. I'm sure Matt had a team down that included Chris, he obviously didn't think it was worth it.

I would have thought Chris would rather have other tracks in mind first.

Horton hates Poole so of course he would! Possibly. But lots of teams would be after Jack if we didn't sign him, Swindon and Somerset for starters.

Oh you know our team, care to post it then as I would like to know what it is. Thanks. Edit - heaven forbid you were a Poole fan! One way to empty the stadium,I suppose.

At least he let him know early so can get fixed up, rather than making him wait. Gavan - you were slagging Ellis off at the end of last season saying he wasn't good enough to be in top 5 cos he was struggling away from home and now you say he's the best thing since sliced bread? Is this your anti Poole stuff again?

So can the 8 other clubs But supposedly not having offers from any of them, says a lot to me.

Yes, it could well have mattered. What if he struggled more in PL than EL like Kyle, might have been able to fit him in then.

I would have thought it was between Brady and Ellis for a team place imo. Seeing as it has been said last few years Brady and Jack are the future of Poole, hardly surprising Ellis misses out. Interesting that Brady and Adam's averages aren't that far apart but Brady would have easily got a team place at another team but Adam is struggling to?

No I don't think so.

He was average in at least first half of season, hence why he was second string at one point and almost a contender for reserve. Go and have a look at his scores before August. Coventry are very good at wasting points when team building.

Wasn't 12 in EL was it? Plus I said apart from last two months, there was a point just before half way through the season when he was nearly reserve! Lol. Swindon are free to sign him! He hasn't been screwed over, he made a decision not to ride PL and it backfired.

Exactly. Poole isn't exactly top of his priorities, form was good in Poland as well yet apart from last 2 months he was pretty average over here. Hans was our best rider up to June.

Should have ridden in PL then!

Brady on 7.65? No wonder he's in then. Bargain average!

So that's five riders. Who are the other two then?

This is what happens when trying to fit Chris Holder in! Even though Chris ave is 12.53 not 12.01.

What does that mean? Is he another Garrity??! There should only ever be one of those!

Maybe? It will. You would have to be very clever on who to pick in the other team places. But Matt has done it before, so it is possible although I would prefer more strength in depth. I thought Jack Holder's Ave was over 7?

Possibly with the brother. Were they at Peterborough at the same time?

Only if he agrees with Mick!

Thought he moved back to Denmark last year, but could be wrong! Probably confusing him with Nicki

NKI was very interested in what was happening with the AGM when it was going on and was in England at the time as well.

Exactly. I would fear what the rest of the team will be!

Well i'm surprised we are having Chris back, thought he'd be off tbh.
