Could things be any worse or have they ever been worse than the allround situation our speedway team is now in and just the same old radio silence coming out of the club.

cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted July 26, 2022 Chin up guys enjoy your speedway while you still have it, finishing bottom is better than having no team. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Said to my friend at Poole last Wed, I'd rather lose and have the stadium safe than win and have no stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whilst I agree it’s great we have a team but I feel these kind of comments are pointless because it’s easy too say you’d feel like this you’d feel like that when it’s not your team that are struggling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flappy 1,605 Posted July 26, 2022 It's frustrating for sure but making sure there's a next season to put this right has to be the priority now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I do know what it is like believe me! There’s been countless other times Peterborough have struggled… 2019, 2008 when we had all the trouble with Colin Horton leaving and all that, I’m specifically saying when people say I’d rather watch my team lose every week and have a team than no team at all. I’m saying that’s a comment I find just abit pointless because it isn’t really plausible. Crowds would drop off massively therefore leading too the closure so anyone who says that sort of thing isn’t really thinking long term with a comment like that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhilTheAce 498 Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) If I was Peterborough, I’d be building a team ready for next season. I’d go get krakowiak from GKM. He’s a good little rider. I think he would get better doing UK and his season in Poland is over. He would probably come in on a 5 point average. He will be good at Peterborough but there will be plenty of riders available very soon when teams that got relegated or diddnt make play offs become available Edited July 27, 2022 by PhilTheAce 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It isn’t gunna be our last season and the reason they should is too give something back too the supporters who have parted with hard earned money too watch a pretty mediocre display most of the season bar Harris and basso!

Falcon1983 557 Posted July 28, 2022 Can't see Pboro doing any changes, literally lowering their averages so they can sign 6 of them again next season plus a big hitter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
