But Peterborough Speedway wasn't collapsing, it was up for sale. Wasn't the reason he purchased it, as chairman of the BSPA,to stop the TV deal falling through because of a lack of teams in the top division. And if I knew "EXACTLY" what you ment I wouldn't be asking you.

Chapman was the owner a couple of years ago, so this falling off the face of the earth would have been down to him? So if he created this "falling off the face of the earth" scenario why would anybody want to get involved and why didn't he close it down then? Anyway wasn't it a couple of years ago Peterborough won the play off final. With all this falling of the the face of the earth they must have had an intresting season

Out of interest what makes you say there would be no speedway at Peterborough without him?

Live Promotions Events are advertising the 40th Anniversary Truckfest at the East of England Showground Peterborough from 30th of April to the 2nd of May 2022.

Tom Bacon?

But he must have accepted a booking from the Ben Fund.

So should we read anything into him being advertised as riding in the Ben Fund meeting, which happens to be the same day as Panthers P&P.

If this is true, can somebody check the part of the contract that he has signed for ink.

Jensen is coming off a decent season which should be a good bargaining chip during contract negotiations, can't see him fitting into the Chapman budget. But stranger things have happened.

Club website 27/03/19 PETERBOROUGH Speedway have reluctantly agreed to release Craig Cook from his verbal agreement to ride for the club.Great Britain international Cook had agreed terms with the previous management - but no contract was signed and despite great efforts by the new promotion the decision has been made to move on.

See on the Peterborough Telegraph website the team manager/co-promoter confirming that the Panthers will ride in the Premiership next season. Let's hope, this time, contracts have been signed before names are announced......

I take it you don't know that the sale of the Witches hasn't been completed.

The back injury was, allegedly, the reason given to the Peterborough management as to why he couldn't ride for Peterborough against Belle Vue.

At Exeter on a Bank Holiday Monday many, many moons ago. Heat 2 1st guy breaks the tapes and gets excluded. Re-run all three come down in the first turn, two of them get injured, ref excludes one anyway as primary cause. Single guy lines up for the third time of asking and suffers an engine failure. Someone may remember it better.

Strange we never here anything from or about Pratt.

On the Peterborough website Panthers could be without Wright, Andersen and Proctor

Many a true word spoken in jest. This appeared in the Peterborough Telegraph yesterday (15/08/19) “It’s been a very challenging season for various reasons, but I am pleased to have ensured the survival of this great club and also to bring top-flight racing back to such a great venue.” But Chapman admits the club’s future in the SGB Premiership is not certain. Along with promoters Colin Pratt and Carl Johnson, he admits there is a need to assess if racing on the fixed Monday and Thursday nights is suitable and sustainable for Panthers.

There could be a non disclosure clause in the Sale of the Club contract which stops them saying anything in public.

That would really please the Panthers fans as he has, allegedly, already turned Peterborough down.

When Holder and Batch wanted him to listen didn't they end up refusing to ride and then they were sacked just in time for them not to be able to sign for another British club.

Reported in the PT that BWD's injury is not healing. Can we extend the naming of available riders from Facebook to this forum.

Could not agree more with the first sentence. Club website 24/12/18 "PETERBOROUGH Speedway would like to extend thanks and seasonal best wishes to main team sponsors T.Balfe Construction Ltd. The company, who took over title sponsorship of the Panthers in 2016, have been a constant source of support over recent seasons. Our grateful thanks for their continued backing, and we look forward to working with them again in the Premiership next year. We thank all of the companies who have sponsored and advertised with the club in 2018, and we hope all of those relationships continue at the start of an exciting new era." Can't help thinking the T.Balfe sponsorship disappeared about the same time Ged and Neil did.

Don't think the team named on the 20th Dec became too expensive until about the 18th Jan
