BurntFaceMan 413 Posted August 9, 2017 Well with plenty of time on his hands nowadays there's nothing to prevent him going there . I don't think there was anything preventing him going there before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Jones 2,127 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I don't think there was anything preventing him going there before... You're right, but with all the extra time he has on his hands now he could make a bit of a holiday out of it.Perhaps he could invite his buddy to go along also as he has some free time on his hands too Edited August 9, 2017 by Dave Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) The other point is i suspect Middlo may have thought with Holder refusing to ride it was an opportunity to get some unexpected points and told all the Poole boys to get on with it.

screm 8,057 Posted August 9, 2017 Chris Holder says he is paid 10 times as much in Poland. Giving some of his performances with Torun this season that kind of money wont be there next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattfordfan 286 Posted August 10, 2017 Holder banned for 9 months according to the daily mirror ? Final nail in the coffin if true. No Speedway next year in Britain. People are not going to pay £18 to see a team missing 3 riders per meeting through doubling up with a Championship club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted August 10, 2017 .......No Speedway next year in Britain. People are not going to pay £18 to see a team missing 3 riders per meeting through doubling up with a Championship club. Not necessarily true. Perhaps there are plans to have two leagues ~ North and South ~ using riders who actually want to ride in the UK. I really like the sound of this, with play offs between the top two from each league at the end of the season. I'm still optimistic this will happen while I'm still able to get to Speedway meetings. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted August 10, 2017 What are the wages here and abroad? I was told that it is £500 a point in Sweden and £1,000 a point in Poland. If it is that with no other payments - in the top leagues only, it is probably viable with their crowds and sponsors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foamfence 2,917 Posted August 10, 2017 I was told that it is £500 a point in Sweden and £1,000 a point in Poland. If it is that with no other payments - in the top leagues only, it is probably viable with their crowds and sponsors. And some clubs in both countries have a history of not always paying.

Dave Jones 2,127 Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) As just pointed out to me, the start of his 28 day ban to the start of next season is nine months!! 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. Edited August 10, 2017 by Dave Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
