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...

Can you make sure they are not too long as the last ones sent were and stuck out the other side. They need to be no longer than 3” at the most. Most importantly the screws need to be a posidrive head to fit the Irish left handed screwdriver.

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!!

The current Plymouth track is only 236yards so is a better comparison. Even then, I think it still races more like an average sized track than Costa Mesa does.

He was sooooo good. He definitely has the Chris Harris style of racing in the dirt and never give up! Seriously if anyone needs a 2 pointer at Poole he's your guy! Yeah, he seemed to be enjoying himself..said the Poole track is the best it's been for a while (thanks to the rain I think!) Rew said he wanted to concentrate on Poland rather than ride Champ, which is fair enough. Me too! Was hoping he was going to make the gate and he did in second attempt as in the first attempt of the race he completely missed it. Half a lap away from a race win at Poole. That was probably the best challenge meeting I have seen in a long time! Scoreline back and forth, good racing (thanks to the rain - more grip than usual!) and riders completely going for it every race. Just watching the racing you would not have thought it was a challenge meeting!

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

Are you returning the favour as they must of screwed you enough times in the past.

Another away loss imo.Dependant on KK 50-40.

Mind you the way his riding for Poole at the moment r/r probably won't do you any harm.....

she rode in the competition last year at Pardubice but due to lack of riders it was a 'mixed' nationality team

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

Don’t forget it’s Poole. I’m sure mr vatcher will apply the rules correctly.

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

Drew is doing well in Poland.

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

Think Kermit races in Greenland on Mondays and Thursdays He also did some trial laps,,, he wasn't very fast, cos he didn't know how to revvit

This Saturday, 13th May, sees the 'Celebrating Hackney Speedway' event. Details here: https://www.pwpark.com/events/celebrating-hackney-speedway/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1981040038888988/permalink/3661160094210299/

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).

My point was the timing of Middleditch's comments, there hasn't been a "first bend bunching" rule for as long as I can remember (if ever) but he brings it up after Poole lose a last heat decider.

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

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

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

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

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..........

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..

And the football isn't?

Should be riding exclusively in that league nowhere near ready

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

You’ll forgive me if I don’t get excited about what’s now a glorified challenge match.
