“I suggested that he took a month’s break and we would revisit the situation in mid-to-late August. 

The above is part of Ford's website statement, so does that mean Harris is signed on 28 day contract?  

Gonna go with no, but ask Chris on twitter, I'm sure he would answer, a bit more politely than some of the silly Aussies anyway!

Can't really sack Richie now, it would be way too harsh especially on a British rider.

Why not ?

Good move, in my opinion. LS not appearing comfortable / consistent on the UK tracks. Maybe away too long. Harris been there and done it, especially at the business end. He is an entertainer, that will give his all - engines permitting.

Why are you bringing me into anything?

my constructive opinion is that I think it’s a backward step.  If true that Sundstrom has stood down then Harris is as good as signing as is possible.

After reading yr first sentance and a half i though, er we go. But you redeamed yourself in the second part. Sensible man..

He has just been sacked by Glasgow, being sacked by both clubs in the same week would just be ridiculous!

Nobody said anything about sacking him in the same week, did they ?

Some people have mentioned it, yes.

Who ? And replace him with who ?

Oh come on Starman, it's not that hard to understand. A few people have said that Harris could have replaced Josh or Richie instead of Linus and I said it would be harsh on Richie as he has already been sacked by another club recently.

When is the transfer deadline these days and what are the regulations relating to it? Did I read somewhere it was moved from 31 August to 31 July? If so, time running out for any team planning changes.

However, I think Harris will do a decent job as a replacement for Sundstrom and often has a poor start but does better as the season progresses.

Yes, it's July now and that's the month when he usually manages to at last sort out the set ups on his bikes so Poole have signed him at the best time.

Is that the same Chris Harris that wasn't allowed to sign for the Somerset Rebels?

As they say:  it's not what you know - but who you know!  

Need to ask the member of the committee who blocked Harris to Somerset deal then.

That’s what I thought but someone corrected me on another thread and it’s mid August - I think it’s around the 12th.

Linus binned and replaced with Harris 

We knew this. 

Matt called the Rockets as soon as BMR asked for help. He put dibs on them and stopped Somerset signing him. 

Linus stood down, made me chuckle that one.

Haha wasnt Matt who stopped Somerset signing Chris.

A member of the committee deemed it not right or would help Somerset a bit too much more like.
