Trees 2,814 Posted August 11, 2017 Think that's what has been said, he obviously felt his presence and testimony wasn't going to make any difference to the sentence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 11, 2017 Think that's what has been said, he obviously felt his presence and testimony wasn't going to make any difference to the sentence. Alternatively he knew he was guilty as charged and had no defence. BTW has anyone seen any sign of his promised statement.....or indeed any kind of apology to the fans that paid to see him ride? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,320 Posted August 11, 2017 Where has this been officially announced ? http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/5963/nine-month-uk-ban-for-holder Do you know, I thought I was having a senior moment. But hang on, that announcement is on the Grand Prix site. Where on the SCB or BSPA site is this decision announced, explained or detailed? This can't be right. There is more information on FaceBook. But then, I really am showing my age 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

False dawn 2,320 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Think that's what has been said, he obviously felt his presence and testimony wasn't going to make any difference to the sentence. I guess the authorities might have considered his no show as a contemptuous gesture which may have added to the final outcome.

screm 8,086 Posted August 11, 2017 Alternatively he knew he was guilty as charged and had no defence. BTW has anyone seen any sign of his promised statement.....or indeed any kind of apology to the fans that paid to see him ride? Maybe he did know what was coming, or maybe as others have mentioned he wasn't to bothered either way. And no and no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I think he didn't turn up because he has nothing other than contempt for everything related to British Speedway! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacques 3,114 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I hate to admit this Jacques - but I have never heard of him. He's Monster Joe......... Edit; Surely you've heard of him? He's the jumped up little yank that was out on the Pi$$ with Ward the night before he failed his breath test. He's the jumped up little yank, that sponsors the little clique of riders that think they can behave how they like! He's a horrible little to%%er and thinks he and his little band of cohorts can run roughshod! When you look at the riders he has sponsored, you'll see a pattern.
