Poole Quay 7 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) VIDEO:ACTION AND INTERVIEWS FROM WIMBORNE ROAD 15th March 2018 Catch the action and interviews from the extra behind-closed-doors practice session which took place yesterday at Wimborne Road. Chris Holder, Brady Kurtz, Josh Grajczonek and James Shanes put themselves through their paces under the watchful eye of team manager Neil Middleditch and Matt Ford. With winter work having been done on the circuit by Glyn Taylor the quartet of Pirates at the testing session gave it their thumbs up. video courtesy of Speedwayportal.com http://www.poolepirates.co/news/2018-03-15-video-action-and-interviews-from-wimborne-road.html Edited March 15, 2018 by Poole Quay 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had visa problems in Poland that’s why he is not there. But the fact he liked the track and was first one out is a good sign!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris just needs to ride his bike, his demeanour was very positive y'day and some good scores early on will do his confidence the power of good.

speedflash Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I would like to thank all the track staff, they put the air fence up yesterday which was a massive job in the conditions. The track held up ok. Needs a week of good weather to harden the surface up. The guys helping yesterday were great, a lot of knowledge so they were telling me where there are small problems with the surface that appear during a meeting. The rakers are there week in week out and see things with the track that most don't see, so working with them will be good. Glyn.

Just Torun put up a post yesterday saying that he was having visa issues. But the most important thing is a happy Chris Holder and a fast one.

Ford never found him, he found Ford (via Mick Poole). Mick Poole contacted Ford when Peterborough failed to do anything about signing Chris after he'd had a couple of after meeting spins round Alwalton on machinery borrowed from Jason Crump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fools peterbourgh. if they had the chance to sign him they messed up big time. It seems Poole was always on the agenda, who knows how that conversation went and befored hand. That wouldnt have been the first time Mick had contacted Matt... Edited March 15, 2018 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon.c Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Still a concern that Holder has not appeared in any interviews in the local Echo and didn't take part in the interviews from yesterdays practice. To me it is saying that there are still issues behind the scenes, I hope I am wrong but that is the impression being given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
