I'm not sure about the rules so I do stand to be corrected here before I get torn apart... The rules may have changed (possibly more than once) since then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think, on appeal, Peterborough fined a grand for each of the three meetings Holder missed. No action against Holder as he was given permission by Peterborough to go to Poland.

Indeed it was, action was taken against the club by the SCB because Holder was given permission by the management to miss the meeting. Ged Rathbone received a £28,000 fine which was amended on appeal to a smaller fine which was paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If tonight's Swedish GP is cancelled (highly possible as it's raining over there and it is yet to start) then it will be rerun, I believe, tomorrow. If so most Polish fixtures will be cancelled if they have a GP rider taking part. Not sure if this would apply to the fixtures Klindt and Bach are in.
