Al Stewart 398 Posted May 27, 2021 I might agree with you but how are there going to actually be any guests? A quick glance at June’s fixtures shows that eg on the 7th and 21st there are three matches, ie all six teams are racing. If there are a few injuries it will be impossible to stage some of the matches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heathcote 51 Posted May 27, 2021 This is definitely not a case of Jack picking and choosing tracks, this is purely Jack picking and choosing which paymaster he pleases and the amount he is prepared to spend to do so. As anyone can see it is possible to get from England to Poland on Friday morning but there is only one chance and probably would involve a lot of logistics with travel and therefore expense. Add in covid tests time spent travelling and how prepared he would be once arriving in Gorzow. He wouldn't land in Warsaw till midday, how long to get through and out the airport etc??? Then it is a 5 hour drive to Gorzow. For the money he is paid in the UK to race compared to the money he could miss out on in Poland its a no brainer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted May 27, 2021 Sheffield owners are to blame. They should've know better than to sign Jack Holder. He'll be gone before the end of the season for sure and replaced by someone like Josh Auty or Ricky Wells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m fairly certain that riders in Poland are being required to submit their covid test in Poland 24 hours before their matches. That means, he must be in Poland on Thursday to test to be able to ride Friday. I’m not saying it’s right but that’s the way it is. Peoole quoting Britain getting priority on a Thursday and then bowing down to the Poles are deluded. This again is a knock on effect to the balls up to the team building rules set out. Anybody riding in the Esktraliga shouldn’t of been allowed to ride in this country due to the commitments of Friday fixtures in Poland. No Esktraliga riders and 6 man teams for this year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like your bike is set with the wrong gear, So you'll need to injure your foot, your ankle, your knee, or even your ear! @Presenter Any chance of "I'll be there for you" by the Rembrandts on the playlist tonight please?
