Pirates Of Poole

Hans will be missed great team man off the track awful on it, very good at nearly taking his team mate off at times last year. That's the only area Hans should look at - his team mate on track. I would class Hans now as a journeyman, will he add to his 7.75? I don't think so will probably sustain that but won't improve. Sometimes it's better to look ahead, getting a younger rider in who will improve year on year is a good option.

Welcome home Chris Holder on a 7.16 average.

Tomorrow signing number 5 being announced. Middlo will be announcing the news on radio solent tomorrow morning.

Bit unfair on Josh who was Somerset number 1 last year and finished with an average of 7.34! I would certainly put him as a very good 3rd HL if not 2nd.

So Lambert has said his plans will be revealed next week, will we see him rerun to KL? I would say very likely as can't see who would be able to purchase him on a full transfer.

Bet BV management are happy! announcing 2 members of the team.

I honestly think the Polish 3 club rule is the issue here.

Glad to hear you would be happy with Hans

So how many points are left for final rider?

I will third that a lot of updates to be done!

Doyle number 1 - Chris Holder meltdown on here was expected lol

Must be a 4 so Doyle plus Holder won't fit from my calculations.

All will become clear tomorrow I'm sure.

Yes I think so too. Maybe Doyle and Hans will be at Somerset? but that would mean no room for Charles.

Sounds like Somerset will have some more team news tomorrow.

Yeah lol good one - Swindon were doing exactly the same with Batch as Poole were with Adrian! It's very simple both clubs made illegal approaches to a rider after not having permission! So next time Adrian is used as an example Troy should also be used too! Peterborough offered terms to Batch as Swindon did to Adrian so there is no difference at all!

My point is Poole were accused of causing this issue following the Adrian M issue, clearly Swindon got the ball rolling long before and illegally approached a rider with out permission from the club that owns him, similar to the current Holder situation! But a lot on here say we set the example with Adrian which is clearly incorrect! Im stating clear facts, Poole are constantly blamed for everything going wrong when at the time other clubs do the same and never get mentioned! Everyclub does it including Poole so for people to say otherwise are incorrect. Swindon fans harp on about they wanted to use Adrian like Peterbrough planned to use Batch.

Think some on here have a very short memory!! December 2011!!!!! Um sounds similar to Adrian M but at that point he had not signed for Poole at that point!!! http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.1470 So just to confirm 5th Dec Swindon announced Batch 2011 - Adrian was announced 19th January 2012 - so who set the ball rolling then????? Robins?? Funny how some people forget this little chestnut!

No definitely not!

Matt didn't want to use Hans as has another option that should be announced this week. With regards to Chris I can see him lining up for Poole in 2018.

Good luck to Hans, had a decent couple of years but the right decision not to have him back, cant see him putting much on his 7.75 average.

Anyone have any ideas when this could finally be dropped? I'm sure this is holding up teams signing riders.

If Chris does not want to ride for Poole then that's fine, I don't want a rider who isn't 110% committed to riding for the Pirates. There is plenty more riders who we could use if not, although Chris is sat on bargain average. The Poole fans want him back but why go for a rider who wants to ride elsewhere.

Good luck with Jack! We do ok if his attitude is right.

In a lot of cases yes but not all!!
