what will sheffield do if jack holder has 2nd thoughts about racing in UK

Not seen anything about this Phil, but will defo result in plans B or C being used.  Everyman and his dog knows the Plan A 7 (Holder, Woffinden, Holder, Pickering, Rowe, Gilkes & Flint), plan B they would need to get another 8 point rider from GP or another 8+ who has ridden here before (both easier said than done), You’d think plan C would be remove Gilkes, drop Rowe to number 6 and go for a more solid looking top order leaving a few points to play with come transfer window time that can’t include Howarth as he’s at Leicester, or Harris as he’s signed STARing elsewhere.  Either way riders will know they are stuck so Bates’ cheque book will need dusting off

Jack not sure about riding at Sheffield as  his home track after witnessing some nasty crashes and near misses.

May be more complicated not to ride in UK at all as don’t believe him and his family will be eligible to live here if not working here so could mean setting up home in Poland

You’d think Chris Holder would be even more wary than his brother considering he’s in the Autumn of his career and the injuries he’s had. The track is going to be an issue for home and away riders alike, it’s awful. If riders are going to be wary of it and therefore not give it 100%, the racing will suffer and the fans will suffer. Sort it out! It can’t be that difficult to remedy surely?

Pulling the dirt back from the fence would be a start. It surely can’t that difficult?

Not just the "start" but the actual "solution".…

Why they leave it so deep on the outside is baffling given it's a track with high speed narrow bends...

Are they waiting for a fatality before doing something.

And it kept on happening, why? Sayfutdinov is as brave as a lion we all know that, he was trying a line that nobody else would touch because that’s what he does. But it cost him big time. What will he do next time he’s there? No matter how brave you are, it’s got to make you think twice. Is he gonna scrape the fence or kerb crawl? Nobody would blame him if it’s the latter and it’s the fans who’ll be denied watching one of the world’s best racers in full flow! Sorting the track has to be number 1 priority this winter.

Clearly Tai has no problem with the track and as far as i know none of the Sheffield riders were complaining about it last season, so what have people heard?

Chris holder critisized the track in a interview either BSN or Eurosport not sure which one !!

He was more vocal than the other two, but Tai definitely voiced his concerns at the difficulty they were having. 

didn't hear or see what anyone else said i only watched the chris holder interview !! but if you say he did fair enough !! clearly there is a problem with the track time for the club to wake up and address the problem it could cost them top riders signing for them ?
