Crump99 4,476 Posted December 22, 2012 It seems you say something that some Panthers fans don't like and you get compared to KKS - happened to me too We are all entitled to our opinions and I don't see why anyone has to revert to comparisons with the site's troll! I can see both points of view but choose not to attack the poster - just the post! Worth having a look at the post which caused the comparison though: Overheard from the school playground and repeated on the BSF - "My club's richer than yours and we'll make you wait! Why? Because we can!" Don't think it was unreasonable reponse to compare it to a KKS post unless I missed the joke or point of your post? You are entitled to your opinion but it's like a broken record. There are only so many times that you can attack the post. Which Panthers point of view do you see because that appears to have passed us by? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

castrolargh 263 Posted December 22, 2012 If the first bend at Saddlebow Road is anything like at Blunsdon Bagpuss you must have your thermals on most of the summer!! Having spent a few seasons at both tracks i can confirm that the norfolk arena is almost, but not quite as cold as the abbey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EnglishRoundabout 1,752 Posted December 22, 2012 Having spent a few seasons at both tracks i can confirm that the norfolk arena is almost, but not quite as cold as the abbey! I reckon Blunsdon being a couple of degrees colder than anywhere else in Wiltshire at any one time! I do recall the NA being bitterly cold in April many years ago castrolargh.

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted December 23, 2012 I lived in North Wootton, just north of the Red cat Pub for a while, and in the winter when there was a north wind we were first in line for weather from the arctic. The track next to the sugar beet plant was not a lot warmer at times. At Swindon it is bad when the wind gets up, because of being on top of a hill and no protection from any surrounding buildings.

woodenspoon 157 Posted December 23, 2012 If we are talking about any track, Buxton takes some beating, it can be freezing up there, but you have the sheep to keep you warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sully 274 Posted December 23, 2012 I cant understand why everyone assumes 'skullduggery' has taken place with regard to Niels, Hans,Troy. Surely its equally as likely that the riders themselves have asked or told the respective promoters (Lynn/Swindon) that they'd be happy to return, so why does everyone assume its the promoters that have 'offered a deal without permission' ? All the promoters could be guilty of is saying 'yes we'd happily have you back if possible'. Just a thought. might be the case but its fairly obvious (going by the tweet Batch quickly removed) that financial deals have been struck between rider and club before being granted permission to speak to the rider from their parent club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Tom 0 Posted December 23, 2012 might be the case but its fairly obvious (going by the tweet Batch quickly removed) that financial deals have been struck between rider and club before being granted permission to speak to the rider from their parent club It happens everywhere though, no it's not right but it happens in all sports. Also in everyday life, before handing notice in at a job everyone has got another/better option lined up. It's the way things work, Phone calls etc turning peoples heads at a better deal, and I can't understand why it's all caused such unrest now.] especially as it's obvious that P'boro never wanted to inculde NKI anyway.
