old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 23, 2018 Interesting that "promoter" Mr Rathbone somehow believes he can prevent his riders taking guest bookings from other clubs ....... I would like to see him try . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lakeside's incompetence on Sunday has meant the Panthers now have a weaker team. We should be riding under protest. I thought they were riding under protest last Sunday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Equally fantastic that Peterborough were ready to race any day of the week, when previously they weren’t able to agree to last Sunday a week in advance Marvellous Synics like you Dave, do the sport no good. Personally, i can't wait to sit in a filthy stand surrounded by rubbish. Watching fantastic racing on a superbly prepared track. Keeping my fingers crossed that the lights don't fail. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a decision that is, in effect, a fine on Lakeside. The mid week fixture will be a financial disaster for the promotion as I doubt the attendance will even merit manning the turnstiles!

And Workington too, the whole idea of the play offs was to give clubs a bumper gate and boost the coffers, what chance have Workington or Lakeside got to promote the final, I've agreed with some of Ged's stances in the past but not this one I'm afraid - this selfish behaviour could earn him a seat at the top table if he doesnt sell ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fixture planning does not get any worse than this 2018 nonsense.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are Peterborough actually allowed to concede the tie wouldnt they then face a heavy fine, with the team there putting out they are as good as saying its all yours have it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
