All of the riders naturally want to come back but nothing was mentioned about signings as far as I can see Probably no-one wants to re-sign until it is clear what the advert in the Peterborough Telegraph today means. An auction on November 19th of all the East of England Agricultural Society effects due to the sale of the Peterborough Showground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Speedway equipment might not be listed, it might not belong to the showground but the equipment is no use if the track is unavailable. I guess it depends on the terms of the lease the speedway has and if it's expired or not regarding next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall some fairly recent posts on the subject of master plan/planning applications for the site. Big Cat will undoubtedly know more than me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know we'll just have to wait and see and that there's no point speculating, but the sale of all those tractors and the haste for the items to be removed from the Showground looks very worrying to me.

All the equipment sold belongs to the outgoing SHOWGROUND owners, all the speedway tractors and track equipment is in the speedway compound or at Lynn under the control of Buster Chapman. The new Showground owners declined to buy the existing equipment so it’s been sold. It doesn’t affect the speedway at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
