iris123 20,995 Posted August 10, 2017 Not quite right, August to March is 8 months . If we assume his 28 day ban is added on to that he won't be available to a UK club until April . That would make the period quoted. Hardly a 9 month ban though is it.? Unless of course there is something happening that we are not aware of yet. As i said before to make sense the ban has to ignore the winter break,and shoud start from the time he signs a new contract........ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted August 10, 2017 Just in time for the start of next season for a club starting late after their anniversary celebrations. Hope the Aussie 2 get fixed up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Winter break shouldn't be included, a 9 month ban would realistically include all of 2018 season too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted August 10, 2017 So it's technically just another 28 day ban added at start of season, A president has been set now, when a rider refuses to do heat 15 when asked they should receive a ban to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well who knows,maybe his mates and his lordship will run their mouths off again at this and it will end up with another ban on top Then again he might learn something out of the whole sorry situation........

Perton Wolf 396 Posted August 10, 2017 A shame that the ban includes the winter break but it's a start and hopefully a useful deterrent for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted August 10, 2017 Does the punishment fit the crime, seems to me that Holder is carrying the can for other riders who were probably just as keen not to ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cheese 2,025 Posted August 10, 2017 Just highlights that in any future case like this you can say your wrist hurts, get a medical certificate and you get away with it. The fact that Holder didn't turn up or at least give his version of events suggests he's not too bothered though, or he thought no further action would be taken. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
