Trackman Terry C who does Poole, Wolverhampton and Redcar? has had a minor stroke and it out of action for a while. I have been told he is now out of hospital and recovering. I am sure we on here would all like to wish Terry C all the best and a speedy recovery.

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 believe that after they demolished it, no one noticed for 3 years that it had happened.. Anyhow, 30 to 40 thousand max I would say if Wembley came back... Which will still be many more than attend UK Speedway each week.. Getting out of London on a Saturday evening to "anywhere" which is a decent distance outside it isn't fun though... A very risky, expensive pipe dream I would suggest...

Why not just run the sport properly? A rider missing? Then (shock, horror), you sign someone else... Or run with (a fit for purpose), rider replacement facility, if you say "no one is available".. Speedway in the UK seems to like fo make up a myriad of supplementary nonsense rules and regs for every eventuality... And all needed because the initial rule or reg isnt crystal clear... Let's be honest, in this situation, they are hardly looking for a World Beater level rider are they? In fact, his level probably has the largest number of, (currently unattached in the UK), possible replacements globally... So bring one of them many possible replacements in... Or run with RR... So much self inflicted nonsense is allowed to go on, which has resulted in tens of thousands of fans, who still follow the sport, stop going... Maybe Phil Morris can help them to help themselves..

Another Swindon Legend .

Well done, but you didn't need to bring it up on this thread unless you wanted attention. I have done many things to help people, as have many other forum members, but haven't felt the need to mention it on a speedway forum.

We have every right to stamp our feet at the way out club is being run

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

Shame from a Poole perspective they couldn’t get Rew’s signature. Looks miles ahead of the Cook’s talent wise. A few meetings around here and he’d be scoring bucket loads in the championship.

What was up with zach cook tonight even young Hagon beat him I’m not being critical I’m just asking a question.as for some people questioning Poole for putting this meeting on good on them I say I’d love to see a gp rider like Doyle in a meeting at my club good on you Poole for thinking of your fans.

Speedway and Weather forecasts are hardly something to get excited about as you will seen from his posts he certainly had a” bee in his bonnet” about the fixture.

Couldn't they brought in a 'guest' gate. I'm sure Chris Harris would have one laying around they could have used...

I have sent four screws to them....

I thought you said Freddie lindgren was coming?

This is it in a nutshell - and if the damage was that bad, let’s see some pictures??

Is there a GoFundMe page for the Kings Lynn Pit Gate ???

There is way more important things in life than speedway. Let alone pboro speedway but……. This is a speedway forum and specifically a Peterborough panthers thread so surely we are all allowed to talk all things panthers. And with no communication from the club what do ever this is the next best thing for most people. There are people on here that have speedway news before clubs even release stuff. Fair play for what you and your wife do but let’s not get personal on here for people having an opinion or venting their frustration

SGP4 bike is now for sale: https://minispeedway.pl/en/home The bike will also be on display at the Warsaw GP fanzone this weekend.

Interestingly the Poole team average tonight was just over 41 with Dougie's average and Swindon slightly over 43. And what was the score after H14, when everyone had 4 rides? 41-43!!

I hope he does lol, give the rest of us a chance.

Impressive performance from Kinsley tonight scoring 10+1 from 4 beating both Thompsons in heat 13 could he find his way back into a Scorpions race jacket ?!

I completely agree- this is what i wrote after round 1 against Smederna With great racing in Vastervik and kumla it was a wise decision to keep the Hallstavik meeting to last. I hoped that the boring track in previous season`s would have been ripped up in the winter !! sadly i was wrong and i had to endure another gate and go match- i counted 1 pass all night. It was a big home Rospiggarna victory before 1650 bored punters.

For someone who says they've got more important things to worry about than moaning, sure as hell is doing a lot of moaning

How's the weather down Poole? Will rain be a winner?

With all due respect Swindon team looks weaker than most champ teams. What are smith and hagon going to score...1 between them barring EFs/ exclusions. Filled a gap in calendar and got Doyle and rew to Poole but as a contest I'll be shocked if Poole don't get 55

Tbh, I've no major life issues (that i'm aware of) ..... but it does make me laugh looking in at a bunch of mature adults working themselves into a frenzy over issues that they have no control and in which they have no say. It was actually your earlier post that triggered my reaction and you pretty much make the same point above eg....... go away (polite version) happy clappers your opinion don't count as it doesn't concur with mine (bit odd from someone who also states people are entitled to an opinion??) Four or five of you can stamp your feet as much as you like .................. not getting you very far is it?? As for "rights" you should realise that your ONLY given right in this matter is:- pay your admission money watch speedway (in safety) and go home........ The End. (Of course you also have the right not pay and not attend?). If i'm honest, I suppose it's probably this "I've got rights" issue (not just speedway but across the board) that winds me up most (possibly a throwback from my career days when people threw that in my face on a regular basis...... only to be shown otherwise) ....... point being if you've got all these rights why not enforce them?? The bottom line is that "Premiership" (by name only) Speedway is finally done for in the UK (writing has beeen on the wall for a few years now) ........ Poland completely and utterly rule the speedway roost now and top riders will certainly want to look after the goose that lays the golden egg (who can blame them). If things go the way they appear to be going, 2024 will be one (not so big) championship level league for riders that are up and coming, those that will never make the big time and also those big names whose best years are long behind them! (apologies in advance for stating the obvious ....... I believe that most punters are already aware of this).

Ben Morley would've been a fair shout before we signed Proctor....don't think we'd benefit now that we've signed J.T. at reserve.

I think we're discussing who we'd prefer to see at PB, as opposed to another woeful signing by the man in charge! We obviously (speaking in general terms) would whince at Auty/Morris, or anybody else that has tried and failed. Bottom line is: sign young Brits and help them progress (D.Thompson/D.Kemp) ( meaning we accept the defeats along the way), or sign 2 riders that are going to make us competitive at home ! (at the least)

He kept getting excluded for jumping the start!!

Barry Briggs would still ride if they let him. Still regularly rides his off road bike

If the meeting is sanctioned and held under the licence issued by the governing body then surely the rules should apply regardless......

Drew is doing well in Poland.

Yes, I think the Championship subscription includes the BSN Semi Finals.

As it's not an 'official' fixture I would guess not..... (but the again!)

Gappmaier would be ok, but only got six at Mureck last week. How about Antti Vuolas - scored 13 in the same meeting beating MJJ, Gusts, Huckenbeck and Rasmus Jensen (and also going well in Polish u24 league).

I very much doubt they’ve even been asked?

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

Sounds like you have more issues than us mate....if you don't like the this chat then maybe go on Facebook where it's all sunshine and roses..and you can clap along with them...and tbf this what we have here is not serious enough for a tantrum....I haven't had one of those since Harry Kane missed that Pen against France!

I notice that nobody is filling in gaps with the "James Wright / Tactical Guest" option. Judging by last year, for as long as the current team manager remains in place, so does the Tactical Guest. The BSPZzz allowed the Brummies to field guests all season long for Josh Auty, so by those standards, as long as James Wright keeps feeling less than 100% (or is persuaded to feel less than 100%) I suspect that the tactical guests will keep on getting booked. So, the big question will be, not whether or not there will be changes to the team, but with or without changes, whether there will ever be a 7-man team photo taken this year.

There's no proof either way, a team managers job is to weigh up options, I certainly agree with not using the t/s in heat 6. With hindsight you could say they should have but Sedgmen in heat 7 ahead of Nielsen - if Sedgmen wins that heat they'd get a 4-2 instead of a 3-3 (2 point gain). Whoever you put in heat 6, might have beaten Hume but likely wouldn't have beaten Lawson, so again at best they'd be turning a 3-3 into a 4-2. However doing that would've likely meant using Proctor instead of Pearson in heat 12 (or 14) for his 3rd ride, if he loses to Mulford, the points gained by the tac sub are lost!

That's OK then - the speedway and it's owners are not to blame The fault lay with the stock cars and those owners not being able to repair the damage they caused I wonder who they are and how the speedway can hold them to account......

Think Hurry's greensheet vs actual average differ drastically.....5.72 doubled would be a bit steep for NL. The other issue that keeps some Kent based connections from being as tempting is Grasstrack. Mulford didn't want a sunday track and i doubt Hurry or Powell would be overly keen either.

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..

Anyone else bored of the silence from the club now, no number 1, everyone saying we need to start kicking up a stink regarding show ground re development but the club haven’t even said anything about what exactly they want the public/fans help with regarding this. If they want to tackle it on their own that’s fair enough but at least say something ! We’ve got to the end of this week to get a number 1 or the season is all but done, I know we will keep getting a facility for nicki blah blah but surely you want a team of 7 and not 6 plus who ever is available on the night, it’s getting pathetic now

And the football isn't?

Why Birmingham not use sedgy as TS in heat 7? Redcar fans any happier with your 2nd strings?

The issue always appeaed to me that when tracks did "£10 Speedway" it was very much part of a marketing plan akin "Build it and they will come".. And was a one off, maybe tops two, meeting venture.. The trick that I never saw happen was to use the night as a launch pad for further targeted offers down the line... Names, mobile numbers, email and home addresses, birthday dates of the adults and more importantly maybe the kids, etc could all have been gleaned on the nights that the "special" was done.. And with that info you then target market ongoing.. Expecting someone to pay a tenner, or even nothing at all, for anything, and then expect instant constant repeat purchasers at circa twenty quid is utter folly.. Get someone attending four or five times over say a couple of months and you have more chance of hooking them long term.. A £10 Speedway night" should be planned both on and off the track and see clubs armed at the end of it with an incredible amount of information from which to build their business.. And see the fans there that night leave armed with tangibles such car stickers, pens, and other "cheap as chips" memorabilia that gets your reach out there on a base level, and also armed with contact info for those at the club, and links to club websites, fans groups etc... (But maybe not a link to us on here)..

Should be riding exclusively in that league nowhere near ready

The real Laguta will be there soon enough

I actually think its pretty clever from Poole manage keeping their riders active. I was looking at Glasgow's fixtures and the amount of free weeks is ridiculous, for example no home match between 4th may and 2nd June!! Fair play to Poole keeping riders busy and the fans interested. I mean this meeting alone is obviously nonsense but treating it for what it is it's a good idea imo
