The first rider Reggie went to talk to was Jack Holder Racing and Reggie asked for his team sheet, Jack ripped it off the wall, screwed it up and went to throw it at Reggie. Reggie asked him to sign it and he signed it, very aggressively threw it through the gate bars making it rip, and turned his back to Reggie. Obviously seeing that made us extremely ma, Reggie was crying. Shane went to see Jack to ask him why he has upset a child and he was defended by his brother Chris Holder and team manager Simon Stead. We have made an official complaint to the club about the behaviour and fully expect an apology from Jack.Monster Energy Sheffield Speedway British Speedway Speedway Star FIM Speedway Grand Prixay Speedway Motor Lublin Please share!

szkocjasid Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 1 hour ago, DaveWayne said: I don't think Harris was signed up for the playoffs in order to have a huge impact last night. It was always going to be difficult to find a guest who would 'do a job' everywhere, but Harris does ride well at Sheffield, Leicester, and Ipswich if it had been needed. With regards to putting Chris Holder at 5, this was tried a few times this season but it had an adverse impact as it broke up the Holder/Pickering partnership that works so well at 3 and 4. I have no doubt that Chris Holder & Pickering is a very strong partnership & splitting them no doubt weakens the middle order, but to not split them leaves a vulnerable pairing of Harris & the reserves anyway. Guess the management have to work out what's best for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 1 hour ago, orion said: 12 points gives Belle Vue the edge Sheff have made a big mistake by Having Harris rather than RR. Maybe he only agreed to guest if it was for both legs and not just the Home leg? Did Ipswich offer him both legs of the SF against Leicester and that forced Sheffield's hand? I don't know why he was booked for the Belle Vue trip otherwise because he doesn't like the NSS. Bomber will fill his boots around Sheffield though imo.

TTT Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 What happened in the past for everyone to start disliking Jack Holder? He seems universally hated and I don't know why. Was it something in his Poole days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 It might be courteous to raise a finger or whatever after a race but it isn’t mandated.

4BenMoran Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 (edited) Impressed with Voulas last night rode inside and out, definitely a different level to the Sheffield reserves. Lidsey came to the party at the later end of the meeting which massively helped Belle Vue gain the 12 points. Going to be all on on Thursday for Sheffield to get the 12+ points back, this one should go down to the wire!

Although I don't remember any problems with fans. Considering he has a child now you would think he would be nicer to other people's.

Maybe he was rude, but then again, maybe he was approached a few minutes after returning to the pits after just being done 5-1 in heat 15 ? These riders are putting themselves on the line every time they race, and I would imagine are pretty fired up inside after a bad race. Sometimes fans need to think whether it is a good time to approach a rider or not. Holder is not renowned for being over friendly, so common sense suggests that may have been a bad moment. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR is much better for Sheff imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the family who it happened too? When will people stop defending the holder clan. They’re all a bunch on entitled 🔔 ends, they always have been and they always will be. Jack being the worst out of the lot of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
