screm 8,057 Posted August 29, 2022 Last week we had a club setting fire to straw in the hope they could dry the track, minutes later the fire brigade arrive, result meeting off. Now this. I like Peterborough as a club and have always enjoyed my trips to the EoES but you do wonder just how long the club can survive for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame the Ipswich and Belle Vue fans arnt here to sort it out with all there expertise and know how. If this tyre problem has been causing problems for 2 years as Carl Johnson suggests then the riders need to be refusing to ride until it’s sorted. Rider safety obviously. As Sheffield are involved it I'd obviously their fault 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,429 Posted August 29, 2022 what if there weren't any more new tyres there? i think meetings being called off early because they worry about the crowd level could be a thing of the past, there won't be any crowd to worry about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s incredible what you know when your not even at the meeting.
