Sherborne Green Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I do hope Jack and Chris Holder are ok after they have proved positive for COVID in Poland. Poland is increasing the numbers proving positive and I hope that will not upset teams in this country having riders riding in Poland. Both Are showing no symptoms so hope it stays so.

They had a positive PCR test, it doesn't mean they have an infectious disease or the Kung Flu... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although given the way the rules over the years have got changed and adapted to suit any scenario, often at a moments notice, it may not have even registered as ridiculous... We would have just assumed it would have fallen under the "In the interests of Speedway" 'rule'... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShyTalk Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 If anyone has noted the Tigers fixtures in their diaries, from the original fixture list, please re-check the fixtures as there have been some changes. I do wish the management would put an announcement notice on their website/facebook pages when they do this. If fans have made any arrangements, they can start thinking about alternatives. Would also be nice if an explanation for the changes was given. I understand the need for any fixtures prior to 17th May, but not the others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow Boy 2 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just been reading about Jack Holder's reasons and desire to race for Sheffield and give Sweden a miss. He also said he was concerned that flying between countries might cause problems. If these should occur I would like to think that due to such current circumstances the powers that be would allow teams to use RR and not force them to bring in say a 6 point BCL rider.

That would mean a change in the rule book and is not likely to happen. It’s no different to the old ‘ broke down en route ‘ fiasco certain riders and promoters have used in the past for absent riders. They sign a contract to say they will be available ( unless injured ) the travel issues are the riders concern . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proud panther Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Emailed Sheffield to try & book tickets for their first match, & the reply said that they are not on sale until Thursday.
