jim3751 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 This playoff madness is now showing how pointless it really is. The real winner has to go into a competition against the also rans who can take advantage of foreign leagues completing their fixtures to bring in ringers. That's effectively what they are. So the playoffs are nothing more than another competion. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Reports on the Poole website are saying Hans is out for the season! Poole, like Wolves can still make changes due to injuries even tho the deadline for changes has now closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am afraid that allowing a guest for Holder re migraine or toothache or whatever the reason shows Speedway up as a Joke. Â The man won his last three races at Belle Vue and then suddenly isn't well enough to race in the evening !!!!! Â I am not having a go at Poole but the ridiculous rules tha allowed a guest in these circumstances 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzafl Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 i was trully amazed that hans and holder wasnt at the second meeting they both looked fine.. Â hans to be out for the rest of the season is rubbish.. pay off so they can get someone else in i guess.. stinks of cheating.. Â cannot understand how that can be allowed at all...

foreverblue Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Reports on the Poole website are saying Hans is out for the season! KK guests this week so hopefully that can continue, more than happy to have KK as Hans replacement for the play offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I agree that this nonsense is getting out of hand regarding riders making up any excuses not to ride in the UK.  Ever since Poland have been throwing outrageous amounts of cash about , riders have been taking the urine out of british speedway. Either commit to a full season right until the end, or dont bother at all. Even Iversen is taking the mick now , its getting pathetic.  What these riders dont understand is as soon as they areno longer world class, they wont be paid top dollar in Poland and will want to come back to the uk to build up a retirement fund.  Holder has shown little interest for poole all season, hasnt missed many meetings but his form for someone doing so well abroad is poor. Iversen is struggling everywhere this season in fairness.  Something must be done this season, plan fixtures around gps and riders sign a contract that if they miss a meeting without a doctors note or a very legimate reason, they are fined say £5000.  Or just ban gp riders full stop next season and re shape the leagues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be amazed no longer because Hans was definitely there and came a very poor last in his first ride. In his second he was unfortunately knocked off by Max Fricke and took no further part in the meeting. I don't know what his injuries are, if any, but I'm sure they'll be a good excuse for Poole to bring someone else in. As for Holder ~ taking the p*** as he doesn't like the Leicester track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes could be good news for Poole as Hans wasn't riding well so guests could be an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Poole could well be stronger with Hans out. Already Kasprzak is in and if that continues in the play offs then Poole will be favourites.

Gp riders with the possible exception of Doyle (who lets be fair is a newcomer to the gp's really) dont put full effort into this league an havent done for a while.  Holder is flying everywhere bar for Poole. Iversen is struggling and has missed meetings , same wtih Jonsson and Zagar  Wouldnt surprise me if Doyle is the only gp rider here next year though this may change if he feels he could be world champion.  Our league will always be considered last resort for most riders. Hence no Janowski, Pawlick or Tai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder rode pretty well at Belle Vue and i am sure he will ride well in the play offs, just need Buckowski to get his act together and we could get back on track.Hans being out could be a bonus, never want to see riders injured but could be a blessing in disguise.

True, maybe i should have said riders with a chance in the gp's lol Holder rode pretty well at Belle Vue and i am sure he will ride well in the play offs, just need Buckowski to get his act together and we could get back on track.Hans being out could be a bonus, never want to see riders injured but could be a blessing in disguise. Holder can do well at Belle Vue might struggle at Wolves. Â Nice to debate with a proper speedway fan and not a blue tint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all at Leicester last night just imagined Fricke spearing Andersen then? As has been reported elsewhere, it looks like Andersen is out for the season, and will miss the GP challenge on Saturday.

damosuzuki Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Genuinelly think the only issue with GP stars not riding in the UK is the travelling. Would expect to see Belle Vue and Poole both running with top #1s next season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaColette Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 So Hans has broken finger rather than a broken hand and a head injury. Also said in the Echo that Matt didn't sign anyone in time. So it is just whether we need to sign someone in place of Hans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is just whether we need to sign someone in place of Hans. Hans rode for Coventry after he had broke his finger against Swindon so he might not be out long.
