mudflaps 664 Posted June 1, 2015 I see Updates had Danny Philips down as Berwicks number 8.. was that correct? - I thought that he was our number 8 and we had in fact purchased him as an Asset a couple of months back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bizarre but I believe this to be the case...unless Phillips was just called upon as a one off? EDIT: no wait, I've misread your original message He should've been Peterborough's number 8 on the updates and not Berwick's! Well done indeed to the promotion. if any fans are staying away because they prefer the E.L. you don't know what you are missing as the racing is just as good, if not better. The Peterborough track always provides great racing. Love it. The whole EL is better than PL or vice versa I think is nonsense. You can see good meetings and bad meetings at any level of the sport. Be that in an SGP or SEC meeting right down to the NL! And I've seen some boring NL meetings in my time but some really good ones too!

PE7Panther 331 Posted June 1, 2015 Well done indeed to the promotion. if any fans are staying away because they prefer the E.L. you don't know what you are missing as the racing is just as good, if not better. The Peterborough track always provides great racing. Love it. Â I agree. Â At first I had negative feelings about the PL and clung on to the idea that we'd return to the EL asap. But I'm converted now and although the EL does have the attraction of seeing the top riders, there are very few star names in the EL any more. No Crump, Adams, N.Pedersen, Lindgren et al (I don't include KBjerre in that list!). Hans & PK are the only riders I miss seeing. So all things considered I'm not that bothered about not being in the EL. Â In fact I reckon this season - so far - has been the best since 2006. It's early days, of course, and the big test now will be whether/who/when/how they will bring in a new No.1, and what they will do about Greenwood. Â But I'm fairly confident that they're capable of boxing clever - unlike what happened under Rick Frost! For all his big bucks and promises his tenure was a failure from start to finish. Â Oh wait, I'm forgetting the snazzy vans and showers in the changing rooms.....! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For all his big bucks and promises his tenure was a failure from start to finish. Â Oh wait, I'm forgetting the snazzy vans and showers in the changing rooms.....! Â His big bucks delivered a much better show than we have now, so not quite a failure, and but for bent decisions his tenure would have probably delivered the EL title once again. The bare bones of the record books agree with your point though. It could and should have been so much better. Wasted opportunity! Hopefully the Frosts will become less busy in future but it's clear that horse has bolted and WYSIWYG if Frost can flog it.

Â It was announced that he was no.8 so someone wasn't paying attention. Edited June 1, 2015 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
