Glad he had a good night tonight A sensible post. As it has proved. Sick of Panthers fans blaming Buster for everything. He got NP in at great cost. His fault NP bottled it. Nope...RW was slagged off as well as a Buster.'s signing... Mt has done nothing he promised !! I have no connection with Buster apart from seeing him walk his dog a few times. But some Panthers fans need to give their head a wobble. Edited April 13, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was also good to see KK have a good night too - I can’t see how any rider signs or sets up not to do well - mind you he was a big risk in my view given his fee and age etc!! id never be a promoter - damned if you do and certainly damned if you do not!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems that NP has come to terms with the inevitable fact that the more races a rider has, the more risk to injury there is and recognises that at this late stage of his career, his body is not likely to be able to take much more. Sure, he still chooses to race and continue run the risks, but the risks are lower with fewer rides and frankly it is good he has come to terms with the fact. He gave it a go at Peterborough but unfortunately for everybody, learnt the lesson the hard way. Speedway riders should take heed from the fight game where far too many boxers have taken that "one fight too many" - Good luck Nicki for however long your speedway career continues, you have never ridden for clubs I support, but I will be forever grateful for the hours of entertainment you have provided - even if some of it made my blood boil at the time!

In regard to the overall position with the Speedway I’m keen to understand the options. Let’s just support our team who we all love dearly and let the rest go through the process. As I have stated it ain’t over until the fat lady sings” When was this.? On the pboro page ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I think the purpose of fixed race nights was to allow for the dreaded doubling up 13 hours ago, Sully said: Awful racing though. Not sure if just down to track conditions or that is the standard? Track conditions, we had a massive cloud burst around 4pm, Worrall said that if the track had been like it was last year then it wouldn't have taken place. Which is a shame, because I think some of the bumps last year actually added to the racing, swings and roundabouts though. I'll reserve judgement on the track "improvements" until it's prepared without any extreme weather intervention 1 hour ago, 1 valve said: It seems that NP has come to terms with the inevitable fact that the more races a rider has, the more risk to injury there is and recognises that at this late stage of his career, his body is not likely to be able to take much more.
