Yup…..who needs three competitions? League with 2 home 2 away plus the KO cup would be my answer.

I believe that UK Speedway has 1000% secured February 29th as a priority day for the next 20 years.. Poland were fuming....

A fair, sensible pricing structure.. Hopefully will be attending late in the year.. Best of luck to the Comets..

The best stadium in London is the Tottenham Hotspur stadium but the area is far from the best but you can see they are starting to do parts of it up. Probaly would actually be the easiest to convert to a speedway track aswell due to it having two pitches so no damage to the football pitch. 50,000 fans would be a pretty much sell out but I don’t see a speedway meeting get those sort of numbers these days. Wembley is a fantasy and too big for speedway now and I believe the London Stadium has seating removed when it’s converted for athletics so would need the same for speedway. I just cannot see how economical a speedway gp would work in a big London stadium.

It riles me up on Facebook with all the happy clappers saying they are tired of all the moaning..I'm sick of the radio silence and to make it worse it's the same at Lynn...there's a common denominator here..

Should have called their bluff,in the best interests of the Sport.IMO

I hope those dreadful Welsh men were not using such language. Awful primitive people. You deserve the mocking, your really do. The sentiments are almost stereotypically SO pearl-clutching middle England it's untrue. It's exactly why Celts and many others ridicule us English. At times, it's utterly deserved.

Got lucky! The forecast was correct,get real!!!!

Phil the Ace - OK they got lucky….. the “forecast” was correct! It’s not always the case when you call off the day before, and that is my point.

Saturday 13th was going to be sidecar speedway but the sidecar people were told the date was then unavailable because of a speedway meeting but a few days later they were told this date was available after all. So now it was back to sidecar racing but this event was cancelled yesterday due to lack of entries. I think the stadium will be empty now Saturday and its going to be a sit at home and watch the Grand Prix Saturday for the rest of us.

“Friday night is Speedway night” used to be the saying……..and it was consistently Friday night weekly for most of the season. I think that is where much of the problem lies in attracting higher crowd levels. All this chopping and changing and having large gaps throughout the calendar does the sport no favours and folk can’t get into a routine. I realise the financial implications of the present day for some who may not be able to afford weekly meetings but I think more consistency would help the situation.

We all should apologise to King's Lynn Speedway. Just received the evidence from the SCB that was sent to them. Hope you're all embarrassed

I've run out of likes again! 100% agree and its the continued deliberate misleading reasoning that is most disappointing The trouble with lies , half truths and fairytales is that when the truth is provided it is difficult to accept it can be

Has Joe not signed fo Birmingham.

LOL gullible in the extreme. Those that know, know.

Fancy the Panthers to pull off a win. Cup competitions are unpredictable and league form goes out of the window.

Publication of the evidence would be a big step forward

Surely just four - two in your section, one semi final and one final. Interesting that Edinburgh and Berwick two of the club's running NDL sides are out of the BSN and KO Cup competitions already and Oxford are out of the BSN too. The NDL tail is wagging the Championship dog. Has to be changed for next year.

The groundsman at Tottenham is a big (probably huge) speedway fan. He checked in the early stages of the development whether the pitch could be lifted and base accommodate a speedway track. Sadly not, I believe owing to the structure of the base beneath the pitch, but we do have people in high places on our side. Similarly London Stadium/West Ham ownership gave a favourable response to initial enquiries. With the baseball and athletics contracts though I am unsure how speedway could be fitted in at this stage during the football close season. Never say never. When AFC Wimbledon asked for ideas for other uses of the stadium I don't think I was alone in suggesting speedway but never received a response. With complaints that other stadia could be too large this could be too small to justify expend though. I find the main problem with going to the London Stadium is that, when you go to a pub afterwards and they hear an English accent they immediately start talking Cockney and singing "Knees up Mavver Brarn" Being bananaphobic their offer to "'ave a banana" is quite insulting too.

He’d might be ok on the straightaways.

Oh what a hero..and I applaud you for that (I honestly do)..but wtf has that got to do with Panthers demise!?...if you must know I went Carp fishing and then watched Monday night football...this is a speedway forum btw so people are allowed to have opinions on speedway things that are going on at their club and this includes concerning things such as the predicament we are in now..but hey at least Posh made the play offs so it's not all doom and gloom in Peterborough!

It could be that the "happy clappers" are able to take a more balanced view of life in general rather than acting like petulant children !! My wife and myself are this afternoon again taking part in a screening programme for research in relation to early detection of various forms of cancer (in the sincere hope that this will benefit others in the long run) ................. what are you doing ?? (apart from stamping your feet demanding to know what's happening at Peterborough Speedway?) and NO, I'm NOT seeking praise but merely trying to put things into perspective..........

Probably a reason why some of the Scorpion supporters didn't travel this year as they have done in the past.

Or only want to do a quarter of a lap.

I can't see it... Wembley is not what it used to be and i doubt it has the same allure as it once had, gone are the days of it being a special place that was revered around the world, every country has their own "Wembley" these days. We'll never know but I suspect they'd get 50,000 tops. Now 50,000 in the London Stadium would be quite impressive, in a better area and easier to get to... though I can't see that either

This crazy fixture list will kill off the Sport.Whoever voted to change to 1 Home 1 Away has lot to answer for .IMO

Pearson would be doing even better in a good side. Hes clearly got a lot better from last season so should be stuck with. Nielsen is a crazy signing , never seen much in him and spends more time sat on his arse than Jim Royle. Proctor was worth a gamble , sadly it hasnt paid off. Shame as i really liked him back in the day , he was a class rider. But probably the right thing to drop him. morris is a class act but with him on a 10 pt ave, any meeting he struggles in and theres no chance of a Brum win. Its an awfully built side.

How long will it be before the Panthers management use reaching the semi finals of the KOC as a positive for the season !!!!

I have been somewhat sceptical of the pre emptive call offs, however I think they have all turned out to be the correct call, and if it saved Peterborough having to pay rent for the EoES then I can clearly see why they took that decision. Weather forecasting despite the 'mick taking' does seem pretty accurate these days

Me to so the younger lads get to compete against there piers . Sport really missed a trick in 21 after Covid should have made huge changes for the future but sadly didn't. Never mind though we can always get a 27 year old Aussie in the NDL on a 3 point average and support it

Ok, take the p155! But I can only speak as I found. Also, when you leave the stadium, you have to walk through the town centre! So, for me, poke Cardiff where the sun don't shine! Should your nickname be 'Fatface' or 'Fat ****'!

Bowtell bought fish and chips in Swindon once hence he gets to ride for them.

I have a hard time accepting that anyone can genuinely believe that a pit gate was damaged by stocks on a Monday, that would then cause a postponement of the Speedway on the Thursday because a part they needed wouldn’t conveniently arrive til the following day on the Friday. If there is anyone who seriously believes that then they probably also believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy.

Aarnio won’t race again for the Scorpions Fact

Best check the gate for any stock car damage first

So either it was genuine damage to the pit gate or the SCB are part of the conspiracy. At least it was 'investigated', didn't expect it to be.

Bless. Speedway for the sake of it not for me. I'll miss Peterborough speedway when it's gone I'm sure but the way it's been run into the ground has softened that blow for sure

Duck, and wait for the P/boro lot...

Who would you have swapped him for though at that point in the meeting? Easy to say Cook now, but Zach Cook scored 1 in his first ride, Morris had 0 in heat 5, Bowtell did ok with 2 seconds, but otherwise Proctor was on paid 2 from 1 ride. Sedgy was already in the heat, and nobody was embarrassed in those heats they were all pretty close / competitive.

My apologies....thought i read who should have been in the side. Replacement options boat has mostly sailed now, most of the riders becoming available will be dropped due to form with only the odd victim of numbers like Joe. If Brum are to survive they need a team fans can relate to and support rather than one season wonders.

There's more to it than that ....

Assume dale wood at Edinburgh?

Great team rider when with Oxford...used to ride "shot gun" covering Todd Wiltshire.

Jesper Olsen by a mile. Not a superstar but arguably the most exciting rider we had during the Shawfield era. All action, great entertainer, it was a huge disappointment that he didn't come back when the Tigers reformed in 1997.

The hindsight weather forecasters will be disappointed to learn that it’s been chucking it down in Alwalton since 7:30pm.

Jens Rasmussen who twice suffered under the points limit at Cowley and then proceeded to change the course of speedway history by signing for Rye House. He never gave up on the track and unfortunately held back by injuries when he promised so much. Per Sorensen who was a master-stroke signing by the "Cheetahs" and who helped turn a good side into a great one when Oxford reigned supreme in 1986. Who could forget his wonderful paid maximum when he returned to Blunsden as a "Cheetah" when Oxford hammered the "Robins"...Per must have been so delighted with that particular performance! A great shame that he didn't return the following season.

Only speedway. 2-3 events per year. I’m still quite surprised that this new build track is all funded by the local municipality Part of a bigger renewal of their local sporting-complex though, but still.

Tough meeting for GB, all the team need to be on their game

I can confirm the BSPA think this is rubbish idea, the reason for that is because it makes too much sense.
