Steve0 5,517 Posted July 15, 2019 If the panthers didn’t have bad luck they would have no luck at all this year. Team was ripped apart before the season started and now down 2 riders and only at heat 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just heard they can't get access to the track on Monday and Thursday's in August so can't run a meeting at the height of summer.. Not the greatest of business plans when you run a summer sport on Mondays and Thursday's.. School holidays and no meetings... British Speedway... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then he says that Wright won't ride again tonight with a dislocated shoulder Also, "Dan Bewley gingerly walking back to the pits". Now that is really out of order, needs reporting. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevehone 3,425 Posted July 15, 2019 maybe Peterborough shouldn't be PL if they can't have the track on designated race nights! what about other days, Swindon were able to do it when their track wasn't available last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 15, 2019 Track is a disgrace, just like Kings Lynn last monday it is far too grippy and dangerous. Riders struggling and getting injured through no fault of their own. Track records are great but doesn’t mean the track is good for close racing. Just means the riders arms are being pulled off. Give me a slick, safe track with close racing any day. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spot on mate, that stuff just doesn't give just creats ruts, especially when it would have been watered all day making clay base stodgy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Belle Vue the 4 points as this track is not fit for racing. Why are you not there supporting your team? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Wimborne Road had some bumps earlier this season it was always slick and never dangerous like this. The bumps never caused injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
