You need Councillors to turn down the planning applications so I'd hold on before criticising them too soon.

Have to agree rather over the top - all people want to hear Chapman has sold the club - the announcement is hardly big news far from it - but it’s news and hopefully it helps the cause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleze 29 Posted November 5, 2023 A rally… effing hell… I hope Buster hasn’t approached a local school to come up with some *cough* rallying words for a sing a long. This has happy clappers written all over it. They should seek out some No To Oil protesters… that would get some attention, maybe splash Purple & White paint over some retailers window and glue their knackers to a programme board. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those same Councillors have already refused the AEPG / DHL proposal They have indeed and they deserve our support at what is an important part of Peterborough Speedway future existence. Its clear that a good turnout for the Peterborough Speedway Rally in Cathedral Square , Peterborough on Saturday 18th November from midday will have an effect on showing our local council that the Speedway has massive support in the city and shouldn’t be allowed to die after 53 years of history just so Ashley Butterfield and his company AEPG can make a lot of money. The Showground should stay for the benefit of Peterborough and it’s residents and be enjoyed for many years to come. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toady 231 Posted November 5, 2023 Hope you get a better turn out than this https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/20241136.swindon-speedway-fans-fear-future-building-work-abbey-stadium-stalls/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Chapman has taken a bung to get out of the Showground (and I'm not suggesting he would... perish the thought), but if he was the kind of dodgy character to take a bung, then surely there'd be something in the agreement saying he can't sell the club. There'd be no point in paying-off someone to get his speedway team out of the Showground if he could just then sell the club to someone else wanting to go straight back in 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Rally is the same day as the speedway show, wonder if that will have an impact? Edited November 5, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is we either go on November 18th or wait until end of January 2024. I think we had to go on November 18th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnbolly 5 Posted November 5, 2023 Hi I am more of a follower of the Witches however this guy Chapman seems to be a very selfish sort of person there are many supporters of Peterborough Speedway that deserve not to be kept in the dark about the future of the club I think there is a total lack of respect to the people that have supported the panthers over the years johnbolly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As there's 2 or 3 who are in the consortium on here. Obviously not the right time now, but it will surely come out in the end. Myself, i don't think he has. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
