proud panther 1,507 Posted October 5, 2016 I would urge all Panthers fans to attend the forum, & give Ged a rousing reception for giving us speedway for the next 2 years. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noodles 1,337 Posted October 5, 2016 Prefer the Premier League if race formats stay the same.I want to be in whatever league Poole aren't in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,507 Posted October 5, 2016 CRUMP 99, think the format in the Elite League makes the reserves too important. Think the draft riders should have stayed at reserve all season. I realize that the reserves also have a bearing on Premier League teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 5, 2016 Prefer the Premier League if race formats stay the same. My preference is for a return to Elite League , I find it difficult to understand those that prefer Premier League but acknowledge they have a right to their view mainly I suspect because most Panthers fans started out in Premier League or whatever it was called at the time.. However much as I would like it I cannot see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Why do you have that preference and view? genuine question - no underlying motive My view is that it Is still the top league despite it not being what it once was. Would a Man U or Chelsea fan want to be in the Championship because they perceive the football is better? Edited October 6, 2016 by wealdstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Speedway is slightly different cos you can choose which league you go in, unlike other sports where you have to earn a space in the top league. It makes no difference in speedway what league you are in, the rewards are the same, zero Edited October 6, 2016 by baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New era Panthers 2,055 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Why all the talk of moving to elite. Have I missed something? You've missed nothing its just Flappy and Flying Panther as far as i'm aware jumping the gun trying to run before they can walk, Ged made a statement saying we are up and running next year and has called a fans forum for next Tuesday and straight away Flappy and Flying Panther speculating the possibility of elite league racing.

Probably on the AGM agenda anyway as speedway's well on the way to that model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
