Thanks for that. That does sound kinda like the way he's been with King's Lynn. I don't doubt his efforts! His bust a gut for us several times and sadly not come away from many meetings with many points.

I'm amazed Paulco! I thought the weather was supposed to be bad up there. That's what made me cancel the idea of travelling up as it's an awfully long way to go for just one meeting (Workington last night, as I really didn't think they'd get a meeting in at Glasgow today). I will make it across the border to Scotland at some point

And like I said to you on Twitter, I could've told them that before they even asked him to guest Can't argue with that!

I could've told the Panthers promotion that before they went out and got Morris It's a shame for Ashley, but he really hasn't had a good season. After that injury he sustained at our track last year whilst riding for Wolves, it's probably dinted his confidence somewhat and understandably so.

Got to try and take a positive out of the situation Lukas. The injuries have made it a bit of a disaster (understatement!) but the promotion, generally speaking, have mostly got it right with the guests they have picked. To come away with a point from Workington last night was good going I thought.

Well, I think the crowds have been better in comparison to last year anyway. A difference in view. You're the local and you've been going for longer than me, so you should know more than me on that front Who am I to argue?! I will be at the fours regardless of whether Peterborough take part or not. I sincerely hope they can feature, but that remains to be seen...

Sad, but true! Can't go into the fours with only Ostergaard and Palm Toft. With Simon Lambert and Blackbird both out more than likely and not being able to use Robert Lambert or Grøndal, I just cannot see how they can still remain in the line up. Konopka probably wouldn't be of much use! And that's of no disrespect to him. Even then, they're still a rider short! I think the crowds have been better this year seeing as they moved to Sundays/Fridays. Racing on Tuesdays last year was a real problem. Middle of the week with fans having to work and most people travel a fair distance to get there. I'd consider myself a Panthers supporter now as much as a King's Lynn Stars supporter and I have an hour and a half drive to get there. Some come from even further afield if they've moved away! Tuesdays was a silly night. Friday and Sunday much better.

Don't think I will be bothering to make the trip now... Weather doesn't look great for Glasgow Sunday and it's an awfully long way to go just for one meeting! Think Workington should be OK to get their meeting on tomorrow. The weather doesn't look so bad there. If any other Panthers supporters are going to make the trip up, I hope they see something worth seeing! Although, one word about the guests on Saturday...will Josh still ride as apparently he had a crash last night?

Ha! Stiltonpanther was standing with bigcatdiary at the pits one week a few months back. That's when I was introduced!

I thought they did needed to qualify in the same way that all the others have?

Yes I thought that. He's not been doing very well at Lynn this season and he's only just started scoring fairly well for Ipswich. Perhaps Redcar are racing somewhere on Saturday night? Not looked at the fixtures... And now I'm kinda unsure as to whether I will make this northern tour or not I'm so undecided!

I'd say 2 weeks is being very optimistic myself But then again, I'm no doctor! What do I know?!

Funny! Women can read maps you know...well, some of us can Extremely fair comment! In all honesty, I don't suppose you could single Bjerre out from Monday's meeting as no one else really scored that well either, so yes, a fair point I think.

Nice to see you away from "home"

I'd heard that Simon had broken his shoulder on the grapevine as well I was planning on going to Workington/Glasgow this weekend for the first time ever, but I'm unsure as to whether I will go now or not...

I was going to mention that! I was there! It caused no end of arguments in the crowd! Nielsen got a bit of stick I think from Dudley fans that night.

That's understandable! I've made it to Swindon twice now. But on both occasions the weather looked OK. And 2,000 miles?! I think it's more like 200. Tee hee!

Thanks for all that Never made it up there when King's Lynn were PL so figured I would attempt to take this meeting in and Glasgow the following day.

Planning on travelling up to Workington for this fixture. Never been to Workington before so it should be interesting I'd nothing else!

If only Queenie had visited and sat up there LOL! I'm unsure as to why it's called the Royal Box actually... Glad to be of service anyway! Oh and Royal Box doesn't have a roof. It's exposed to the elements up there so just hope it doesn't rain!

There's an area in front of the home straight stand near the starting gate where people with disabilities can take wheelchairs or take seats into (I've seen people that aren't in wheelchairs take seats up there so I'm presuming it's OK if someone really does have a mobility issue). As for food, there is the Pitstop Cafe at the stadium. On the Hardwick Industrial estate down the road there's Frankie & Benny's. Pizza Hut, KFC...all those kind of places to go into. P.S. It costs £1 to go into the "Royal Box" Least that's what the price was when I last heard anyway...I don't think it's gone up but I wait to be corrected if I'm wrong. You don't have to book a seat in advance as far as I'm aware either.

Really hoping for good news on Simon! Has anyone heard anything?

Not surprised by the result. Belle Vue have a decent 1-7. And I think people are right to feel angry with how Kenneth is performing...he's supposed to be a second heatleader. How many meetings has he scored 10+ in this season? It can't be that many I wouldn't have thought? I think his issues are more psychological than anything though mind you.

Suspected dislocated shoulder is also what I've seen reported. If so, either way, he could be out for a few weeks. Hoping to hear better news! Sending Simon best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Seems like Lewis is riding at Belle Vue on the Monday, but Robert isn't, so perhaps it will be the same scenario for Wednesday's meeting?
