proud panther 1,507 Posted February 23, 2017 Can't wait for the season to start. With most teams looking competitive, I'm looking forward to some awesome racing at the Showground. I'm currently trying to get a few friend's to come along and sample the racing, & would urge other supporters to do the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wealdstone 3,454 Posted February 23, 2017 Another season of second division speedway is imminent. Made worse by a Challenge match against Kings Lynn who took the 30 pieces of silver during the winter of discontent. I remain convinced that if not for this Panthers would still be in the perceived top flight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New era Panthers 2,055 Posted February 23, 2017 Another season of second division speedway is imminent. Made worse by a Challenge match against Kings Lynn who took the 30 pieces of silver during the winter of discontent. I remain convinced that if not for this Panthers would still be in the perceived top flight. I wouldn't be surprised if they amalgamate the two leagues in 2018 and divide them in two divisions , north and south. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sings4Speedway 3,249 Posted February 24, 2017 Another season of second division speedway is imminent. Made worse by a Challenge match against Kings Lynn who took the 30 pieces of silver during the winter of discontent. I remain convinced that if not for this Panthers would still be in the perceived top flight. Given some of the financial issues since then if the Panthers were still in the "top flight" i suspect its more likely that they would not exist at all. The highest tier commands the highest outlay for a marginally higher product. I personally feel Peterborough are better off than most, good exciting division to be involved in & excellent venue to enjoy the spectacle. Being in the top tier doesn't always guarantee top speedway. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,259 Posted February 24, 2017 If you look at the teams for the challenge against Coventry theres not alot of difference now, if you take out say Garrity and promote a reserve then add a 2 pointer to the Coventry team you basically have two championship sides. The Premiership is dying on its feet fast and is just not good value for money no more 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) At least they are not visiting the Showground. It's only the supremo & co. Not anymore. Horton should never be allowed near a Speedway track again, let alone the showground. Who now for the challenge on 19th March? Edit: website now showing Scunthorpe on 24th March as the 'next home meeting' so presume the challenge match is being scrapped altogether?

Edit: website now showing Scunthorpe on 24th March as the 'next home meeting' so presume the challenge match is being scrapped altogether? Have to dust off the Hokey Cokey cup this time next year - "We sincerely hope circumstances can improve for Coventry during the course of this year which will enable them to return to the track in the 2018 season." - although if I was a betting man I'd melt it down now.
