That's why we all love watching him. Did ok to qualify with 8 for the semi for a rider returning from a nasty injury, the more rides he has, the reflexes will get better hopefully Edited March 19, 2022 by scoobydoo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True it's not unexpected. That story was already run in the ET and it's them chancing their arm again (with the detail as they'd already said "A planning application will be submitted in the Spring 2022" ) on a plan, already previously rejected, outside of the agreed local plan. The ET story said the submitted additional plan would again be rejected, although push it enough and they might get some sort of compromise I guess? Policy LP36: East of England Showground said (not sure if the Draft Peterborough Local Plan of June 17 was agreed and/or modified on 24 July 2019) "The loss of any existing leisure and sports facilities will not be supported unless replacement facilities are provided in accordance with policy LP30", although that's very much open to interpretation and negotiation as it's worded.

Flappy 1,605 Posted March 21, 2022 Can't say I'm overly enthusiastic about this season, riders a year older 3 coming back from big enough injuries to which has stopped them doing much over the winter plus Basso replacing Pedersen meaning no strong reserve at all times. Nobody can take last season away from us however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would it not be a good time to form a group to support Peterborough Speedways long term future? Keeping it independent of any existing promotion might be advantageous.

All the riders they beat last season are also a year older, If MPT can ride like he did with the busted fingers he should be ok now there fracture free Nicholls rode with his shoulder issue also now hopefully hes discomfort free Ostergaard is a worry but both Peterborough and Glasgow seem to equally think hes worth a place still hes even capt Ulrich at Glasgow Palin needs to kick on this season and get more consistency in his scores ,cant carry him this season in any matches. Basso will surprise a few Edited March 21, 2022 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keeping it independent of any existing promotion might be advantageous. We have a thriving, or at least we are told as such, supporters club and network so I'd have thought that falls within their remit in the short term at least. They are as independent as much as any club associated group can be. A splinter group, along the lines that you mention, might develop if more pressure is needed. The main thing for this year IMO would be to always ask where Peterborough Speedway fits within any forthcoming development plans and make sure that question doesn't go away. Bottom line is that we're pretty well stuffed, it's just the timeline that I'm still not clear of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
