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. Sorry to hear about your wife. With that tale of the obstacles to entry, that sounds like you should have a blue badge also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know you said you're the other side of Kings Lynn so is it possible to attend there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he gets to Batchelor's level its a concern for Peterborough but not until then Championship is the haves and have nots league now run by 2 or maybe 3 clubs the rest are there to make up the numbers so the league can run !!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bit ironic when you have less teams!! Bates wants 8 next season and 10 the season after. Not sure he is gonna get that tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even more ironic that the historic No1 "have team" had to drop down to stay as a big fish rather than risk regression to a minnow..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Umm, Poole won it last in 2018 no? So no danger of being a minnow. Maybe Ippo are okay with losses but Poole wanted to cut costs and increase the crowds, which has worked by dropping down. Stadium very full yesterday about 2,500- 3k I'd say. In 2018/2019 prob only got that for a final. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
