Sadly, she died a few weeks ago, so the Blue Badge had to be handed back to the authorities. But as I'm now very lonely, I thought I will still have some evenings at Peterborough, and did so yesterday. However, I'm 78-years old. Diabetic which has resulted in me being in severe pain in walking in my legs & feet, not to mention unsteady, and I'm asthmatic, which leaves me out of puff, so with much regret, I will have to discontinue my visits. The walk from the car park to the grandstand, is about a hundred steps or more to much for me now, and I realise that I'm probably not the only one like that. So I wish the Panthers all the best for the 2022 season, apart from when you race against King's Lynn..LOL. Enjoy watching the racing on one of the best circuits in the country, and just wish that I could be there from time to time. Good Luck to you all. Very sorry to hear about your wife Mimmo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,035 Posted March 28, 2022 Sure Ben will be fine, he is good friends with Hans anyway, is he not? I'm sure Hans will help with any advice. Though be better if he doesn't have the pressure on him as he is hard on himself as it is! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apply for a blue badge yourself, sounds like you qualify for one. Sorry for your loss... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can't afford to wait I think he is what you need, he is reserve rider who will score a lot of important points for Peterborough, you can't afford to wait after one meeting at a new track! Who do you think you could of got on his average? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who do you think you could of got on his average? Of course I completely get what you mean. My point is more a case of re-signing Ostergaard bon his average has weakened the bottom end. That isn't Basso's fault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
