Gemini 4,894 Posted July 16, 2015 Peterborough is a showground and they';re often turfed out as short notice as something else is taking place........ The short notice this time was the Scunthorpe match on July 12th but why on earth this date was given I don't know because even I knew almost 12 months ago that a big dog show was taking place that weekend because we always go. Well they've got fair warning for 2016 as 'Just Dogs Live' is on 8th/9th/10th of July. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riders safety should always come first http://tw.gofund.me/zjgz8s £10 raised in 9 hours! They were rightly fined for not going out to race! Don't use the rider safety card when there were 9 heats previous to it in the same conditions! The meeting should never have started but it did. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't use the rider safety card when there were 9 heats previous to it in the same conditions! The meeting should never have started but it did.The previous 9 heats were not in similar conditions. Once an official says he will inspect the track after heat 9 a management has every right not to send riders out until said inspection is done. If the official then passes the track as rideable then yes riders should go out but not before the inspection happened. It was all to get to heat 10 asap. We will hear more at the meeting on the 23rd July regarding what's going on with Brandon or a new stadium. Edited July 17, 2015 by woz01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the thousands that pack the Brandon terraces each week gave £1 each then they would be at 8k before they know it. They would even have some extra cash to send Bomber on a reeding and riting course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beesboybert 95 Posted July 17, 2015 Ridiculous to have a gofundme page. The fans were already cheated out of money by seeing 9 and a half heats instead of 15, and now someone wants them to come up with more money? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well they've got fair warning for 2016 as 'Just Dogs Live' is on 8th/9th/10th of July. A BIG dog show taking place? What about the rights of the medium and small dogs? Are they being penalised just because of their size? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a tweet on his Twitter account which most bees fans won't have seen. A collection at the track may have been better. Been 3 days now and still only £10 raised!!

Can't see anyone beating us at home and I think we can best Lakeside away next week and Kings Lynn at home, which should wrap it up. Looking at Poole they could loose at home to Swindon and away at Belle vue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at Poole they could loose at home to Swindon and away at Belle vue. I don't think Swindon will be a certain home win. Whilst I don't think they look great away from home,I think ours is going to be their strongest away track with Batchelor & Ward strong on our track & two ex bees in Zengi & Morris. A lot will depend on their other 3 riders that are currently weaker than our reserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted July 21, 2015 Looking good for top spot now and the all important pick for the playoffs I'd prefer to look at it as, it's our place to lose now, rather than looking good. Poole now need 1 more away win that Coventry don't get form the same number of away meetings (Lakeside, Swindon and Lynn for the Bees vs BV, Lakeside and Leicester for Poole) or for the Bees to lose a home meeting that Poole don't and both have two home meetings against Swindon meaning they potentially still have quite a big say.
