Peterborough Panthers 2017


Recommended Posts

Poole will have pressured Peterborough to ensure Holder doesn't get banned so Peterborough allow the absence. There will be no 28 day ban, just a fine for Peterborough. Holder will be missing for 2 away meetings and no idea how many home matches, if any.

 

Hopefully Peterborough are not allowed a facility and have to use a NL rider. That should affect Peterborough more as there will be less attending.

 

Started visiting Peterborough as a result of the lack of fixtures at Rye but doubt I will if Holder is missing.

Let's hope the BSPA get to the bottom of it and grow a pair and find the missing page from the rulebook which deals with exceptional circumstances. I know that speedway promoters are a law unto themselves but I don't think Rathbone would bow to Poole, but who knows?

 

As Chapman seems a bit upset and it's a Holder, how about Chris having a plan to p' him off as well? (That's my conspiracy theory :) )

So let me get this right...

 

We received £££ from Torun in order for them to use Jack Holder.

We won anyway.

 

Isn't life great? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

In an ideal world the fine will probably be in excess of the bung.

Torun were relegated today so perhaps they will not use Jack and he will now be available for our two Sunday fixtures. That may have been part of the agreement.

 

Edit: Torun aren't actually relegated as the club above them is actually on the same amount of points when you factor in their points deduction.

 

The next two fixtures are still crucial for Torun and I suspect Holder will be riding for them on Sunday if required.

If that's correct ( a £10k bung ) then a £20k fine for Ged Rathbone should be about right. But don't worry the club will not close down because there will be a Strong Reprimand and Demand for Future Behaviour instead as the BSPA close ranks and continue to care little about the fans.

Can anyone tell me why as he was definitely named in the team for today- why Jack Holder cannot be banned under this SCB rule

 

3.2.10 Failure to attend, withdrawing (or threatening to withdraw) from a Meeting duly listed on the
Official Fixture List: In a Team Event this applies equally to Promoters and Team Managers as
well as the riders. It also includes, but not limited to those occasions where a Team fails to
meet the 2-minute time allowance on two occasions for the same heat, without just cause

Because Jack Holder didn't fail to attend and neither did he withdraw.

 

The Panthers released him.
