Confirmed here that Holder will miss the meetings at Newcastle and Scunthorpe, for which IMO Peterborough should receive no facility.

Total farce all round and all of British Speedway's own doing!

 

Doubling up a good idea in principal but proper fixture planning required, teams don't ride for weeks on end then we get a fixture clash to deprive fans seeing a rider!

 

Ref: Holder, if Ged Rathbone was one of the BSPA's favourites - something completely different would have been conjured up, but he isn't! For him, makes business sense - Holder not riding in Away fixtures replaced by a 3pt junior - means a lot less expense for Peterborough! When I was involved with Reading, this happened several times, especially in 2003 with Janusz Kolodziej, the fine for showing up with a weakened team and paying a local 3 pointer a lot cheaper than sending JK to Sheffield for example.

 

Not fair on the fans I agree - but when has British Speedway ever had any regard for it's fans?

 

Final point - lots of people transfixed with overseas riders and their commitment to British Speedway, start by concentrating on British riders, those who are committed to earning a fair living by riding in their home country as their priority! How many half decent British riders have quit or are on sidelines because of averages etc?

 

Concentrate on them not someone who uses British Speedway as a stepping stone along with his fellow countrymen who then moan, whinge and bicker constantly about British speedway when in fact it was the British leagues that created their development opportunity in the first place!

They won't other than a NL guest. There is no agreement between the polish federation and the BSPA. Especially since the Newcastle and Scunthorpe fixtures were in the diary before he agreed the deal with Torun and are not re-arranged fixtures (to the best of my knowledge).

That statement says no such thing......

Quite right the statement as you say says no such thing and is old news anyway. Not clear why someone should raise this now especially when their assertions are wrong. It may well be that Holder will miss those meetings but it does not say so in the statement.

Starke involved in a big crash at Poole so that's him probably out also for Northern tour..Holder 2 from 4 rides so far...Can't help but find it funny though that Poole are getting hammered by R.House with KK on a max.

I don't know whether it was just all talk or mind games last weekend about giving up on the play offs but the fact is this..if we go and win all 3 matches on the Northern tour this weekend we will be 3 points off a play off place!. unlikely but certainly doable with Berwick and Newcastle's form Masters being out for Edinburgh.

It was said to try and justify Holder being allowed to go to Poland, when realistically he probably would have gone anyway before the "deal"

 

To me very disrespectful to the Panthers fans
