Unfortunately the future of virtually all tracks is at risk from 'developers'. The Showground in particular from what I have heard.

The EoES has been under threat for 15 years or more since Mercer and his crew turned up and started selling off the land. I'm surprised that we've lasted so long as it's been a world of grief since he arrived (even though he's no longer in post). How under threat we are these days is open to question. I suppose that the landlords could say at any time that they just can't accommodate us in the shrinking Showground. Then there is the current situation around our Peterborough City Council Local Plan (LP30: East of England Showground 2016-2036). What's the current thinking on that. If we're affected then what's the timescale? Whatever the situation is, the higher profile the club has then the better chance it has of surviving long term.

Thought swingers closed because Mario collected alot of the golf balls!! 

Seems strange that people who dont live anywhere near the Showground seem to know whats happening with everything more than people who live in and around Peterborough 

Perhaps we talk to people who talk to people....

Anyway Ged doesnt live near Peterborough and he knows whats going on (hopefully) :)

The rumours Buster Chapman as promoter and Rob Lyon as team manager appear to be getting stronger.

Oh and premiership speedway

Social media speculation suggests King’s Lynn owner Buster Chapman is the man set to purchase Panthers.

Chapman is also the chairman of the BSPA management committee.

Rathbone added: “There are a lot of opinions and rumours on the internet forums, but I am the only man in possession of the facts surrounding the sale of the club and at this stage absolutely nothing is confirmed.”

It will be interesting to see who the new owner is not just of Peterborough but also the other clubs currently for sale

New blood should be welcomed - perhaps there may be 1or 2 surprises that shake the sport up for the better

Given that our last two owners were new and perhaps thought that they could shake up the sport, until that was that the cartel ground them down and allegedly nobbled them, then I wouldn't get your hopes up on the Panthers front! If it's succession from within then it'll be same as in most respects.
