Rally is the same day as the speedway show, wonder if that will have an impact? 

There will be another speedway show but if the Panthers rally is a damp squib then there might not be a Peterborough Speedway. You can bet that Butterfield and his "poorly supported, non viable club" henchmen will be watching. If Panthers fans or others want something to do on the day, and to give Bratters and co the ammunition that they need, then the calculation is pretty simple.

Maybe if Panthers changed their colours (again) to that of the Palestinian flag they could be guaranteed a large vociferous turnout

If people want Peterborough speedway to survive then the only place to be is at the protest not the speedway show.

A high turn out with plenty of noise is vital, a poor turn out & that plays right into the developers hands.

Good luck to all involved

We've got to turn up as it's a crucial protest, It's essential that we keep applying the pressure on AEPG because they're on the back foot as it is.

From the river to the sea, Peterborough Panthers will be free.

 I agree but when you say people, there are many people who want it to survive but who aren't based near Peterborough but who might be going to the show - it's not that far away so was simply flagging, as there could have been/could still be some linkage to maximise impact for the benefit of Peterborough.

Hi speedway fans there is a topic started in the news and discussion section Save Peterborough Panthers about the rally on 18th November. We need a good turn out to show what the panthers mean to us

Will any riders be there? Can they take their bikes and rev them up and get a bit of attention?

I don't think you're allowed to do that.

Just come across a piece on the PT at https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/search-for-for-jobs-saving-solution-goes-on-after-east-of-england-showground-car-depot-plans-were-rejected-4400651 that shows that the objections to the EoS closure have put an effective and very painful boot on Butterfield's throat.  He has gone bleating to the council about the loss of 160 jobs if the DHL parking has to close down.  The article also comes clean and exposes what we already know that the DHL contract is his way of paying his loan on the site for the next FIVE years and that all of the closures of events were so that he could get somebody to pay him more than the events would pay while he got his development sorted out without having to do any work  himself.  Clearly, all those showground events need not have been evicted/rejected, never mind the close-down of the speedway for quite a while and the plans might well have slipped through without all this hoo-har if Butterfield had been less greedy.  It just shows how little research was done to study the local area and people rather that just opening a little office in the town and pretending to be a local.  At least now we know just how little this gang considered the people of Peterborough and surroundings.  The 160 jobs being claimed are just there to keep this awful lot in business to pedal their retirement fund plan along.

I hardly think the prospect of the transporters and pollution from that depot for the next five years is quite in line with the aims of the farmers who created the showground before the magic money tree growers came along and not quite what all of the neighbouring residents had in mind until they heard this real truth forced out.

Keep the boot on their throats and watch out for the next panic money-making plan to surface.

AEPG are amateurs in a big boys world of developing. The East of England Agricultural Society (who are getting an easy ride in this and pretty sure that’s going to change as time passes) must be wondering how they’ve got into bed with such a tin pot company, one where the CEO is so worried about his development plans (which have received 1900 comments 99.75% of which are objections) has now enlisted his mates in the Home Counties to start submitting comments in support of the applications. Like I said, tin pot.
