Gemini 4,894 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) panthers biggest problem is with all there sunday meetings , most decent riders are in Poland That's one way of looking at it. The other is that Sunday meetings attract a lot of fans from other tracks so there is no doubt a much improved attendance on Sunday's than the Friday meetings.

proud panther 1,507 Posted March 29, 2015 The England game affected the attendance on Friday. Expect a decent crowd on a normal Friday. Best wishes to Olly on a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"much improved" - think that we're a bit early in the experiment to be making those sort of statements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other is that Sunday meetings attract a lot of fans from other tracks so there is no doubt a much improved attendance on Sunday's than the Friday meetings. I thought that there was more of a crowd for the Sunday fixture against Somerset...but then again, it is early days. Unless Panthers starting winning their home meetings, the crowds could well drop again and that will happen no matter what day they race on. As has been stated somewhere, there are many supporters out there that just want to see their team win, at least at home, so if this doesn't happen regularly, then the Panthers could be in trouble For me, I feel like I want to make the most of the Showground and the speedway it offers whilst it's still there to be enjoyed. It came so close to closing in the winter that win, lose or draw, this season, I want to be there. Worrying to think that the track could've been dug up and never seen again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterborough daz 220 Posted March 29, 2015 So then who should we sign to replace Allen at number 1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted March 29, 2015 "much improved" - think that we're a bit early in the experiment to be making those sort of statements. Looked like a good crowd to me for the Somerset match. Also seemed to be a lot of fans visiting from other tracks - me and the other half included - and we can only attend on Sunday's. I really hope Peterborough have a successful season as their track is one of the best in the country. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The race track ain't too bad either. On paper it should be a success 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
em1500uk 190 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) So then who should we sign to replace Allen at number 1?Well...god only knows really! As has been stated on the PPSSC on Facebook, it may well be difficult to find a rider that matches Allen. A lot of decent names that have already been mentioned on Facebook ride in Poland on Sundays and that would probably be an issue as then you'd end up having to get guests anyway! Mads Korneliussen, Patrick Hougaard, Kenni Larsen...all mentioned and all riding in Poland. Mads didn't want UK racing this year anyway as far as I know, but yeah... Who knows? The club will have a hard job on their hands I think. Edited March 29, 2015 by em1500uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted March 29, 2015 Might be an idea to get a rider on a 6-7 average, to sign a better reserve, to get MPT or Roynon there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noodles 1,337 Posted March 30, 2015 Lewis Bridger but would require 2 changes as would put us fractionally over (even accounting for Roynon average being lower than MPT). Are there new averages issued Wednesday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
