Over the last few years chris has not help himself lets be honest about it Yeh he's had his moments mate, but Chris has tried to get back on track, and he will. distractions are not good on the mind, thats why he's better off having this short break to sort things out, there is no point in riding a speedway bike half cock, the sport is dangerous enough as it is. When he's sorted he can crack on for Poole. He still has a lot to offer Poole speedway speedway in general, and helping jack. Lets face it appart from his personal problems, the Coventry crash could have easily finished his career, no question, and with poor Darcys accident i would not have been suprised had he not retired on the spot. Those two alone would have been enough to send a sane man over the top. Edited March 24, 2018 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Just had a chat with B. Smektala. Seems that he will come across to Poole with Woryna in June. Said he was interested in riding in the UK and with Kacper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June01 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Regarding Chris Holder, he was given a 9 month ban for withdrawing from a meeting which took place on 13.07.17. As far as I can see his ban is still in place, which probably affects his visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm sure I read on this thread somewhere that Frederick Jakobsen has become a Poole asset.....not according to the Belle Vue programme last night which says the Aces invited him over to have a look at him.

Always worth taking a look at a future opposition rider to see what you are going to be up against next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only speculating but he isn’t riding in todays pairs meeting in Poland, so why not? He has issues, granted, but seemed happy enough at p&p on Wednesday. Pretty sure it’s not a state of mind issue, so other than a visa issue, which was mentioned recently, I can’t see what else it could be. He rode for Kings Lynn last season before being sacked. He stayed in the UK. The visa would have been granted for working for Kings Lynn, so once his job was terminated did he have the right to remain in the UK? I don’t know just asking. This might have caused an issue when applying for a fresh visa. Hence the delay in not leaving the UK, for fear of not being able to get back in if he went to Poland. Or, in a worst case scenario, he might be in a position where he would have to return to Australia and apply for a fresh working visa to ride for Poole, a new employer. In which case he would be out of action for possibly months. I am speculating, nothing more. I don’t know what’s going on but the way the club are saying the issue will be rsovd in a couple of weeks leads me to believe this all stems back to last seasons sacking which has had a bad knock on effect for Chris Holder and his new club. Nigel Leahy at Poole is an expert on getting riders visas sorted out. If he can’t do it, Kildemand might well be a long term replacement if he wants the job. If not, Woffinden is waiting in the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
