andys Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 If this is certainly not a rearranged fixture, surely it's a similar situation to Jack holder last season where he put Poland ahead of British speedway, so Bach and klindt should surely be hit with bans for withholding there services.... I'm not sure about the rules so I do stand to be corrected here before I get torn apart... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No action against Holder as he was given permission by Peterborough to go to Poland. Edited August 11, 2018 by Isotonic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Rathbone received a £28,000 fine which was amended on appeal to a smaller fine which was paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tonight's Swedish GP is cancelled (highly possible as it's raining over there and it is yet to start) then it will be rerun, I believe, tomorrow. If so most Polish fixtures will be cancelled if they have a GP rider taking part. Not sure if this would apply to the fixtures Klindt and Bach are in.
