Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Has anyone asked Holder If he wants to race in Poland or not? And I take it the Polish club will look for another squad member. Edited March 15, 2017 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Has anyone asked Holder If he wants to race in Poland or not? And I take it the Polish club will look for another squad member.I presume Torun did & I presume Holder does. Why else would theya. offer him a contract b. he sign a contract c. they insist he is available for all matches Edited March 15, 2017 by Noodles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) It's a bit tough really as Holder needs british racing to obtain a work permit. Holder also has never ridden in poland so he will be nothing more than a squad rider Edited March 15, 2017 by Flappy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 16, 2017 I think his brother and Darcy on twitter are telling it how it is, in their eyes Poland should get priority, but for jack, he should race here first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted March 18, 2017 Anyone go to press and practice? Was the track change noticeable? Can only make a brilliant track even better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted March 18, 2017 It's certainly was being ridden hard by the team at the practice but was probably slicker than usual. I dare say it will be restored to its usual standard for tomorrow's match after today's practice meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PE7Panther 331 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Big crowd; must have been 3,000+. Really happy for Panthers and especially for Ged. It will give the club a nice financial boost at the start of the new season. I usually rock up about 5 minutes before the start and there's only half-a-dozen or so waiting to pay. I figured it'd be wise to be earlier today and so I arrived about half an hour before the start. Jeez, it was a real shock to see a truly massive queue! It was several deep and stretched almost the the far end of the car-park. There were loads of Cov fans at the EoES today, probably about half the crowd. Good for them And it was great to hear the positive vibes coming across in all the interviews. TBH, there wasn't much excitement on the track, although it did warm up a bit in the closing heats. Cov were too good for Panthers and let's be honest, with King & K.Bjerre they were always favourites to win it. But the result wasn't the important thing; the main thing is that Cov are still alive & kicking. And for Panthers it was about giving the riders competitive track-time, especially the new ones. Up The Panthers..... and all the best to the Bees! Edited March 19, 2017 by PE7Panther 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Up The Panthers..... and all the best to the Bees! Biggest let down for me was referee Christina Turnbull she missed at least a couple of races where riders got a rolling start , twice she got the finishing order of racing wrong and to bring all four riders back for an unsatisfactory start in heat one just as riders where exiting second bend was beyond belief , think she needs to go to specsavers or pack up altogether. The track wasn't brilliant seemed quite slick and a blue groove developed mid meeting on the fourth bend but i suppose it's still bedding in and should I hope ride a lot better on Friday. Generally it was a good meeting with large crowd against a very strong Coventry line up and it was good to see Ged go over to the Bees supporters on the back straight and give them a round of applause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
