Fromafar Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 . That can't come as a surprise can it? He earns more in a race in Poland than he would in a match for Poole. He is returning from serious injury and would be faced with 36 matches in the UK alone. If I was him, I would do the same. Maybe so,but he would have never earned such easy money as this season in GB.Shame he isn't riding here though other clubs will suffer on gates as he was a crowd puller.

speedibee Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 With the NEW league set up we have now it will be near on impossible for Holder to get back into British Speedway. His only chance will be to replace Ward or another injured number one with a similar average.. He may reget the decision he has made and I suspect it wont be too far in the future when he does... And I hope your'e right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Doesnt want to ride in Britain because of the workload and definitely wont ride for anyone other than Poole but would quite like to take someone elses place in a few early challenge matches so he can get fit for the GPs and other matches all around the world!! Whilst wishing him all the best for his recovery healthwise he cant have his cake and eat it as they say. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't think he is turning his back on Poole in any way, it suits both parties as with Darcy and Chris in the side makes it very top heavy with the new points limit and it seems to me a completely mutual agreement and if Darcy were to get injured i am sure Chris would be only too willing to replace him.Oh the arrogance. There's more to British Speedway than Poole. Just because Poole don't want him doesn't mean British speedway doesn't at done other club.

lukasdrymllukas Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Not bothered one bit At least we won't have to hear how 'stoked' he is about everything every sentence 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbee Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Could be Ward will say he is tired halfway through season then Holder will do the other half they have been on about it long enough (squad system)but not official 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 . After his injuries a year with far less travelling and fewer meetings makes perfect sense. Sure we will all see him back riding full time in the U.K in the future. Like to wish him all the best for a successful injury free 2014.. Fewer meetings yes but how is it less travelling, isn't he based in the UK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Will he be fit to race in March ? Maybe thats part of the deal. UK starts earlier than the rest. I think he'll turn up like Hancock did late in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 To be honest what really is the point of the worlds best riders now riding in our so called Elite? Theres no competition for them in so much as the vast majority of their rides are against far inferior riders, beating these riders is like taking candy off a baby most of the time, thats certainly not going to hone the skills needed for the GP,s racing against the world best in poland and sweden is going to be key to maintaining that edge. Imagine a european championship? would be like a nationwide division one team entering the champions league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Holder is due to ride in Havvy's Farewell meeting which - as the article says - is Poole's opener on 21st March 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 His injuries were terrible hes going to do well to come back anywhere near his best and it could take a while, perhaps the lesser work load will help him to click back into gear without any danger of any type of relapse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Oh the ignorance Holder doesnt want to ride in the uk next season.I know. And ignorant you said he was not turning his back on British Speedway because Poole couldn't fit him in. i pointed out that even if Poole couldnt fit him in someone else would have done so he IS turning his back on British Speedway. Just because Poole may not have wanted him doesn't mean he's not turning his back on Poole. What you meant was he may not be turning his back on POOLE SPEEDWAY as they'd struggle to fit him in. But you said British Speedway because down in Poole speedway starts and finishes in Poole, screw the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy jimmy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 So what if it is. Would you work longer hours for less money if you had alternatives which paid a lot better?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 He may do what Greg did and join a club late in the season if a number one gets injured. Maybe Matts idea about a shared number one spot is a good idea, if financially viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 The only way he is coming back is if Ward gets injured or fired (unlikely I know!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Can he stay in the UK if he's not working? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
