Killer Cat from Mars 16 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure I understand why speedway fans are that worried about footie fixtures (Apologies to Flyin Panther - not having a go at you mate, you've just turned over the hornet's nest! :-)) - it's just a little bugbear of mine which I have seen creep into speedway over the years. There was an Aces fixture not so long back, and all the fans did was whinge about how it coincided with some Premier League game or other. The fixture was subsequently moved! Onto the meeting - bit of a pointless one really - Panthers to win by 30 -having said all the above, maybe i get now why Flyin Panther wants to watch the footie!

Couldn't agree with you more - but that aside this will definitely affect the attendance.. I'm not sure I understand why speedway fans are that worried about footie fixtures (Apologies to Flyin Panther - not having a go at you mate, you've just turned over the hornet's nest! :-)) - it's just a little bugbear of mine which I have seen creep into speedway over the years.

I won't be watching the footy I'm going to a wedding, but mark my words lots of people will be. I just want Mr Frost to make a financial success of running and promoting the Panthers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He probably got confused with Sept 9th, certainly didn't want to get involved in a conversation about how that shambles was allowed to take place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sums up the state of the Belle Vue promotion - don't seem to know their arses from their elbows these days.. To think that they used to be the Poole of Speedway!(many moons ago!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent, I want to watch England live so we can reschedule. Surely someone setting up for Sunday's autumn show can crack a water pipe? Not that a water soaked track ever stopped Belle Vue though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mudflaps 664 Posted October 10, 2013 END-OF-SEASON FINALE Tuesday October 08, 2013 THERE will be a party atmosphere when Peterborough stage their final meeting of the season this Friday at the Showground. The Readypower Panthers will host Belle Vue on October 11 (7.30pm), with a packed programme of events on the night to bring the curtain down on an eventful campaign. Voting slips will be handed out at the entrance gates for supporters to vote for their ‘Rider of the Year’ and there will also be a collection held for the Action for Children charity. Panthers won’t be holding an end-of-season party this year, but fans can still get to meet the riders for one final time as the club will be hosting the 2013 Rider Awards in the Peterborough Suite at the stadium straight after the meeting against Belle Vue has finished. The bar will remain open after the match against the Aces and a disco has also been arranged. Entrance will be free when producing a ticket from the earlier match against the Manchester side. It’s been a mixed season for the Panthers with the club at the foot of the Elite League table in June, but then a stunning run of results saw them finish the campaign with a late push for the play-offs. They narrowly missed out in that quest for post-season action but the ‘feel-good’ factor around the Showground returned and it would be a fitting tribute to the riders’ efforts if there was a big turnout for the awards ceremony. http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.1993.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
