89buttons 751 Posted December 5, 2017 Entry admission and season ticket prices seem fair enough to me, fans have a choice , takeaway food prices is my main issue, I rarely buy the food because of this, it's down to the showground management, so spare a thought for the takeaway venders as it's not them at fault. Thats all fair enough, didnt realise it included prog and parking, hadnt taken that into consideration when I saw the price and voiced my initial shock at it being £50 more than our for same amount of meetings! Dont have to pay parking at ippo and ours doesnt include programme which to me is right as not everyone necessarily wants one! Still like you with those included not overly different in price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,247 Posted December 5, 2017 Very sad to see what's happening to our club. Question. Does anyone feel that the constant mid season merry go round of riders being dropped / signed at P'Boro is having an impact on initial team building? Are riders simply keeping away as they feel other clubs offer more security? From what i can see riders are decently paid at P'Boro, have a good home track to ride & all receive team suits which is a bonus to many so what is anything is the issue trying to lure British based riders to sign? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump99 4,474 Posted December 5, 2017 Peterborough can't get riders to ride for the team because there is no future with the club, working for a hire and fire company . just go and spend thousands on equipment and then 2 months down the line you are on the scrap heap . Do the job that you've been brought in to do and you'll be fine. As has been said, if not then you could be out. If you don't think that you can meet those requirements then don't buy the equipment and don't sign the contract. If you choose to but it doesn't work then whose fault is that? The club and fans seem pretty loyal to those doing the job expected. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The club and fans seem pretty loyal to those doing the job expected. What about riders who come in and do the job asked, up their averages and then are used to gain extra points when making multiple team changes because anoter rider is not pulling their weight? Im not levying this directly at P'Boro as many clubs do this. Should be be disallowed to drop a rider who has increased his starting average? Or should there be some sort of severance package introduced? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted December 5, 2017 we got bitten big time by sarj last season and now ge plans to double his average and become a glasgow hero all because he defrauded workington spedway last year . (MY OWN THOUGHTS OF COURSE ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully other clubs will take a rider who is doing their job but became as casualty because of others who weren't (didn't that happen to Ashley Morris under Rathbone?). Put yourself in the position of the promoter who's paying the bills and probably losing money. What would you do? It's just an unfortunate situation and not compatible with the compensation culture. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted December 5, 2017 Two of the riders that were sacked have returned this year, so there doesn't appear to be any sour grapes with them. Riding on a Sunday is the biggest hurdle in my opinion. With so few fixtures next season, you would think we could organise our fixtures around Poland. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the shape of the business model is not working successfully and sadly you are going down the pan then you have to change the business model , unfortunately Panthers have a history of getting the initial business model wrong and by the looks of things concerning this we are on course for a repeat performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
