Very much afraid you are right. I know Carl Johnson has sent my request for a refund to the big boss, but as expected in typical Speedway fashion have heard sod all. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will most likely get a free season pass voucher to the stock cars or Kings Lynn speedway with a free burger and car parking space close to the entrance window thrown in, unless of course you have a BB lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 7, 2020 If speedway was to start anytime again this year could BWD be fit to go for someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gasser90 229 Posted May 8, 2020 Well Neil’s is in Poland for the foreseeable. So I would sign him up. Not sure if Hans is riding Poland or not but BWD will score just as many points round the showground than anyone in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 8, 2020 So thats Doyle, Batchelor and Iversen off to Poland, be better to knock UK premiership speedway on the head now as theres bound to be several more riders missing , promotions wont want to lower admission charges whilst the standard of the league is getting more and more watered down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon1983 557 Posted May 20, 2020 Not sure if it's been discussed but could speedway for Peterborough be moved from the show ground to the greyhound stadium? Has this ever been explored? Seen today they have cancelled greyhound racing and are looking at other opportunities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you imagine the fans dismay going from the Showground to a tiny track inside the greyhound track which is already quite small at 370 meters. Would be about the same as Oxford or Rye House. Peterborough fans just wouldn't watch it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcon1983 557 Posted May 20, 2020 I've never been to the facility myself so have no idea on size but its online today they are exploring other uses for it as they are stopping greyhounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
