You’re being incredibly insulting to Ipswich here. Were the panthers septet a “disgrace” in their previous three unbeaten home meetings, including victories over your fancied teams, Wolves and Poole? Astonishing to see the lack of credit to a fantastic away performance that’s bettered ANY of the four teams that’s previously visited the Showground this season. Just because you were one of a few on here who was banging the “worst Premiership team ever” and “cannon fodder” drum along with Steve O and Acef, which is now making you all look pretty daft regardless of what happens here on in, doesn’t mean you can’t show a little humility and admit you may have been wrong.

Awww bless you.....why would it be the misfortune of others. Only injuries can scupper a side and the only team really missing a rider is Swindon with Doyle and they won the only match he was missing in. Ipswich were written off at the start of the season but yet we sit proudly at the top of the league as the only side who have had an away win....we are there on merit not due to others misfortune

Again unsporting nonsense. None of Wolves, Poole or Lynn managed to beat “that Panthers side” did they? We didn’t just win either, we stuffed you so yes, it was impressive IMO.

you never mention the manager though surely that makes us stronger as well

Mate I think you know by now that you need to take contributions from these two posters with a pinch of salt. I’m still laughing at the idea that those who score well give 100% and those who score poorly don’t if only speedway was that simple.

Say what you want about Ged but he cared about Peterborough speedway and I miss his Passion..he never hid. we now have faceless owners who don't care and we don't hear a word from them.

Congratulations to the Thomson Twins on their professional debut in Sunday's KO Cup win over Mildenhall. Holding their own against the opposition Reserves and taking points off more experienced riders. Quite a baptism of fire as they were forced to take extra rides due to the unfortunate heat two crash involving Jamie Halder and David Wallinger who were both forced to withdraw from the meeting. I hope that Halder and Wallinger are not out of action for too long.

Again, never said his equipment is substandard as such, just the same as last year as it went so well. He's saved money by cutting investment in UK Speedway. Why wouldn't or shouldn't he? To be a No1 in the UK you don't require anywhere near the investment you need for the likes of Poland, Sweden and the SGP's. People are extremely delusional if you think top rider's spend big bucks in the UK.

i think he is on a jawa this year !

yet some clubs still insist on signing big name riders hoping they can balance the books @ the end of the season and then moan about losing shad loads of cash ..( my own club included ). we only have 11 years to save the planet from self destruction . we have even less time to save a sport that is being crippled by high costs in wages and crazy running costs . with the season even shorter , why do riders need new hire vans for travelling around . there is not that many fixtures . Shirley they can get away with a 3/4 yr old trtanny or something to fulfil their uk fixtures . then again , many of them cant even get a simple engine to go around a track for 4 laps . these high end riders are killing the championship as we know it . if they want to earn big money , do it in the premier league only and dont drift back in the championship for the east pickings . me, i would rather watch lads who are doing it for a hobby and not a living. the guys that turn up with one mech and not an army of 5 guys trying to prove they can blow a tyre up and pretend they know everything ... cut these costs and speedway will survive . but we only have 3/5 years to sort it out . then its toast . we dont owe them a living , they have to earn it and not be given it and entertain the public into the bargain . its a circus and the animals are about extinct ! no doubt there will be more track closures next year, sad to say .

Robert Lambert is a business. He has to speculate to accumulate. He has to have a financial agenda for this and future seasons. He spending priority has an order and I could guarantee UK Speedway is bottom. 1. Ekstraliga 2. SGP / SON / Euro Championship 3. Elitserien 4. British Speedway I have no doubt at all his UK equipment has taken a back seat with his eyes firmly on the prize of being able to drop UK totally like Woffinden.

Lambert didn't make gates on Saturday but swept round the others which you can do at Belle Vue but not at Wolverhampton I think gating is his problem

They have badge,,, it was going to be a massive spanking,,, but now just a spanking

Speedway has been a part of our lives for so long it is hard for me to make the decision not to go, as I am sure it was for you, but next week I will be giving it a miss . I may regret it, I might even change my mind at the last minute, but it is a lot of money to waste every week to feel aggravated and not enjoy my night out .So as things stand unless things change that's it. Congratulations to Ipswich you looked superb last night, your fans are a credit to your team, go on and make the play offs now!!

I have a feeling we are going to find another meeting cancelled if they aren't allowed a Guest for Adam for some cock and bull reason; this time the salvation doesn't seem likely to come from the Clouds so will be interesting to see what they come up with this time. Would be financial suicide to have got rid of 2 riders, bought 2 in and then have to race without the new no 1 in first meeting since with some NL recruit at reserve and another NL Guest in for Adam, as I believe if not allowed Guest can't use RR either. Would be a bad deal for supporters if it was a League match, a KOC Tie v a team 20 odd points up who thrashed us on our home track just a couple of weeks ago is suicide by slow death surely. What a mess!

Blimey, there's a lot of negativity amongst Panthers fans! Isn't it the same team that nearly won at Swindon last week? Panic, panic panic. Building emotion against Chapman won't help either, jeez one home defeat against a team with the best reserves in the league and who were due this result is no shame.

There can be no excuses, when a SGP rider only scores 5 and don't win a race, one has to question his application. When you're a one man team, then this man has to perform..... Well done Rory for giving 100% every single race...

You don't actually need to interpret it as, for once, its unusually very clear... No facility can be allowed for Ellis.... However, you could get a thick black marker and cover up rule 16.5.2.2 on page 44, (or even rip page 44 out?) and pretend (for that night), that it doesn't exist, and 'in the interests of Speedway' make up something ad hoc and contrived, and then see if enough punters collude with you in pretending that Speedway (in Britain) is a proper sport and attend.. Lift up the carpet, brush under it, and move on to the next made up nonsense.. There's nothing to see here, move along please..

Whilst you might have valid points, they would be more impressive without the bad language.

Next time get him to look pleadingly at one of the stewards who usually has a selection of dog biscuits in his pocket. Always works for Lucy.

yes I suppose your right gary can make mistakes just like neil

better get used to it . thats the way things are progressing (cough cough ) according to the powers that be ....

The place has definitely made strides in the right direction. The surface bumps and waves seem to have gone, and riders had racing lines most notably turn 2 out wide for the brave. The running was slick, the announcements and music were clear, and by stoke standards a decent crowd in lovely sunshine. People who have stayed away because of the poor reputation of race day experience, really should give it another go. The place imo is heading in the right direction.

30 miles north of Newcastle is about Rothbury. Try about 60 miles to be speaking with a Scottish accent.

I’m rapidly reaching that conclusion - with the exception of Wrighty BWD and Summers it’s the most depressing season I can recall for years!
