If you had no Lynn and the Panthers using our track, and still kept their same name, i don't think you will get many Peterborough fans making the trip. Like wise Lynn fans turning up to watch Peterborough. I can't see that working myself. As said by TTT on here about 3 weeks ago, you maybe could some how combine some of both teams riders and re name them ? Given how both teams are doing, Norfolk Snails might be a goer The Compost Corner Pussyc##ts ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May be the rumours of Peterborough running at Saddlebow could be true if King's Lynn themselves are not coming to tapes. There's no chance of 2 Premiership &/or Championship clubs at one track working. Don't think those rumours would be true.Financial suicide imo.Why would they run Peterborough at Lynn,there would hardly be any support there.If someone was to run at Lynn surely they would run a Lynn team to at least keep the locals going.

King's Lynn can't maintain their position at the top table with their current support either. There's going to be a huge shift in British Speedway during the winter if Peterborough & Wolverhampton disappear anyway so none of us can call it right now, even the owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Al 708 Posted July 2, 2023 Interesting timing by Woffinden, to mention the desire to resume racing in the UK. Presumably he knows about the dire state of things and that, even if there is to be a "premier" league or even just any league, there will be probably be no takers at his required pay rate. Sounds like someone who is expressing a wish to do something he knows is very unlikely to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tai did say he wanted to ride in this country before he retires .....So may be he is thinking down those lines...After all B.Zmarzlik will take sum beating over all the G..P rounds....he's consistently good..

He was talking a couple of years ago about wanting to sell that place, that buying it had been a mistake and it is very vulnerable to flooding. Don't know if he actually did. Seem to recall seeing something about his in-laws now having a place in South Humberside, so it could be Scunthorpe's now his "local" UK track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJA 40 Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Well on the 6th June he registered Straya Limited at Companies House so he would only do this if he was to have future "Business Interests" in the UK. Edited July 6, 2023 by SJA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His mum and grandma and various aunts and uncles still live in the Scunthorpe area -which is now North Lincolnshire, as Humberside was abolished decades ago.
