Sadly, she died a few weeks ago, so the Blue Badge had to be handed back to the authorities. But as I'm now very lonely, I thought I will still have some evenings at Peterborough, and did so yesterday. However, I'm 78-years old. Diabetic which has resulted in me being in severe pain in walking in my legs & feet, not to mention unsteady, and I'm asthmatic, which leaves me out of puff, so with much regret, I will have to discontinue my visits. The walk from the car park to the grandstand, is about a hundred steps or more to much for me now, and I realise that I'm probably not the only one like that. So I wish the Panthers all the best for the 2022 season, apart from when you race against King's Lynn..LOL. Enjoy watching the racing on one of the best circuits in the country, and just wish that I could be there from time to time. Good Luck to you all. So very sorry to hear about this Mimmo. If I was in the area, I'd love to be able to drop you off at the front door of the stadium a couple times a year, just so you can enjoy your meetings at Peterborough again. It's a track I've never visited RIP to your wife 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We shouldn't have signed Ostergaard and subsequently signed a stronger reserve and we would've challenged to retain the title for me. Which two riders would you have signed then? As Belle Vue have shown, there's not a lot of options out there! Edited April 3, 2022 by szkocjasid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans should swap it with his Peterborough bike then because that didn't seem strong at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulrich maybe might take a while too. You have to be patient, it's early in the season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans is a Pirate legend too and personally have always liked him, he got some stick after 2004 world cup but Sweden would have won anyway in my opinion, still the best meeting I have ever seen at Wimborne Road, he wears his heart on his sleeve and always gives everything.
