LagutaRacingFan 1,919 Posted August 24, 2021 One idea to make up for the lack of summer nights is running double-headers? Make it an entire day's worth of activity for the family. You could hire a clown and bouncy castle for the kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should come on here and vent his spleen as he seems about as powerless as the rest of us to change the sport! Sorry I missed the match. Weekdays are a problem. Could you let us all know what Buster said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marko 950 Posted August 24, 2021 Can never understand why some sports owners choose to punish those that get their in plenty of time by making them wait for those that got their late. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To paraphrase him he said he'd had enough of dealing with the riders and was now going to take a back seat at both clubs until "the right buyers come along". He wouldn't be selling either club to anybody he didn't think would be no good for the club. Was full of praise for everybody at Peterborough that make race days happen and special praise for the supporters club. Couldn't disagree with anything he said really.

I couldn't believe the traffic when I got there... I was expecting the place to be heaving when I got in, only it wasn't. Must be a covid spike in Peterborough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everyone is retired. A lot of people have to finish work. I'm tied up in Canary Wharf until 6, meaning the earliest I can get to the Showground is 7.30. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,591 Posted August 24, 2021 Rider wise I'd love to keep the team together next season, presumably Bjarne will retire as planned. His scores in the championship are far better than the premier League but he's done a very good job this season. Ostergaard will be back and rightly so even on that average and then fill the gap.

pleasureboy60 123 Posted August 24, 2021 How much is Panthers success this season down to Rob Lyon. Its clear to see that all the riders have the ultimate respect for the guy and the team respond accordingly. Team spirit is high and its great that the club are percevering with Jordan Palin. The boy has obviously got talent and needs to be neutered. He will come good. Past seasons Panthers have tended to loose patience with some of their younger riders if they don't immediately produce the goods. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly hope Jordan has not been 'neutered'...would make his eyes water!!!! 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe because it was the organisation that was the problem. If last night was anything like the Belle Vue meeting there last time it was terrible trying to get in. 2 queues with no indication which queue was what, if wanted to pay on night there was just 2 people with clipboards, if needed change they had to go to hut and get it each time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
