How does that work out? Is this Redcar meeting re-arranged?
 

As a Brit, this fixture should take precedent over the Polish league.

Not sure, only repeating what Tom posted on his racing schedule this week .

Just checked, it's not a re-arranged fixture

We are at Redcar on Friday, i see Tom Brennan posted, he's riding for his polish team that night 

Will be a massive miss if he isn't riding, my pre-meeting flat white won't taste very nice!

Good luck with that! We are prob 4th in line priority wise. Didn't Charles Wright miss a meeting last season for Redcar because he was needed by his Polish team.

Perhaps it’s because Tom signed for his Polish club first? Other than that the Championship fixture should come first. We can’t cover for him properly so it could well be points given away.

Money and the threat of the sack in Poland calls the tune.

Tom is 2nd in the Pirates averages currently so r/r will be the best solution - especially with 6 teams in action on Friday.

Meanwhile Redcar will need a replacement for Connor Bailey!!

They wouldn’t sack him as he is an up and coming rider who would be picked up by a rival club straight away. Threats from different countries should not allow federation rules to be broken, regardless of money. His Polish team would have known about the clash at the start of the season.
 

As a Brit, a 30 day ban should be the order of the day for withholding his services. Harsh but stops young riders chasing the money rather than the team he should be riding for.

I see Tom's replied to someone on twitter saying Poland takes priority due to FIM rules. What's FIM got to do with league clashes. Dangerous precedent to set saying it's ok for riders to miss prearranged fixtures for Poland
