False dawn 2,298 Posted February 4, 2017 Coventry have a challenge meeting 19th March at Peterborough. Hmmm. Not the best of fixturing (and where have I heard that before). There is a certain meeting at Wolves that day involving Sam Ermolenko, Ronnie Correy, Michael Max and others celebrating Peter Karlson's final bow. An unfortunate conflict of sporting interest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think there is. If you are a Panthers or Cov fan you will probably go Peterborough. PK will still attract a bigger audience I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's certainly a conflict in my household! I want to go to Peterborough and himself wants to go to Wolves.All I can say is that it's a blooming long walk to Wolves. I agree that PK will attract a big audience 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

None of the Peterborough or Coventry riders have been named in the PK meeting. Fans have a choice which to watch. Most speedway meetings will be on the same night as another meeting once the season starts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted February 4, 2017 There's certainly a conflict in my household! I want to go to Peterborough and himself wants to go to Wolves.All I can say is that it's a blooming long walk to Wolves. I agree that PK will attract a big audience I know where I'll be going ~ weather permitting. I reckon PK will do okay with a good number of Wolves, Cradley and Birmingham fans likely to attend, plus one Bees fan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted February 4, 2017 Don't think there is. If you are a Panthers or Cov fan you will probably go Peterborough. PK will still attract a bigger audience I reckon. It may look a bigger crowd as fans have no choice but to stand together in one area at Wolves (poor for fans & riders) where as you have a choice where to stand or sit at the showground which I think will get a far bigger crowd than a testimonial of a swede.

Woz01 3,589 Posted February 4, 2017 As I said on the Havvy testimonial v ELRC debate a few years ago, Speedway shouldn't stop for a day for any rider. Of course PK deserves one but it shouldn't mean speedway in the UK stop for him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course PK deserves one but it shouldn't mean speedway in the UK stop for him. What about thinking of the supporters? PK was very well respected during his Peterborough days. Sure there are several that would attend both meetings. Lost opportunity! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost opportunity! Supporters can choose. No one complains when other riders had a testimonial then other meetings are arranged on the same date. It happens, it's always happened. On the day of Chris Harris testimonial, Scunthorpe had a meeting no one said they shouldn't run a meeting because it clashed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,298 Posted February 5, 2017 To be clear. I think it is unfortunate that Peterborough and Coventry have chosen to run on this day (and at exactly the same time). As an avid Bees fan and considering their current troubles and given that this will be their opening meeting of the season, of course I want to be there. On the other hand I have great respect for Peter Karlson and think it is appropriate that any fan who has supported the sport throughout his career should show their their thanks for his contribution. It's not as though the Peterborough meeting could not have avoided this clash. It looks like an oversight. Oh well. You can't have everything, eh? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Expected trolling retort. As I said if you want to know who PK has invited why don't you ask him? I'm not on his testimonial committee team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
