Goodness me, this is embarrassing from the Peterborough management. Every fan wants to hear their management team interact with fans but there rules, those rules are, no matter how angry fans are don't belittle & down play their importance under any circumstances. As I've always said, a clubs closure is NEVER the fault of it's supporters. The blame is 100% owners.

Is it really 47 years since Tommy lost his life (20th May 1976)? May he be forever remembered. RIP

Surprised Nathan Ablitt hasn't posted videos of the dust.

I think he definitely writes columns to attract bites and always has done

Edwards comes over as a very nice lad.

Clear Zach is out of control here no wonder Charles was annoyed

They are so far out of touch it is unreal. The only abuse that’s been dished it has come from their side. As I said to Johnson… when you are in a position of management… arguing with your fans on social media with comments like your own has made themselves and the Panthers look incredibly poor. These people are those who have kept the club afloat the past two years. An absolutely disgusting way to treat the paying customers, It’s clear to see PR hasn’t been covered in training staff members.

Well Charles definitely doesnt lack aggression or will to win! Looked like if was Wrights fault so no idea why he was having a go at Zach, maybe he thinks its never his fault!

Think every Scunny supporter was peed off when Joe had to go, especially replacing him with 2 deadwood in Clegg and Ablitt

I still remember hearing the news, could not believe it. I was walking to school the following morning, on the Friday. It was a lovely sunny morning, when one of my pals met me on the way and told me the sad news. Such a loss. Never forgotten RIP Tommy

Harsh. He’s doing exactly what it says on the tin with him. He’s been a 5-6 point rider for many years now, what were you expecting? At this stage of his career he’s not going to suddenly blossom in to a 7 point rider. There’s little surprise either with Andersen or Iversen. People said they were on decent averages, they never were. They’re washed up has beens whose averages were only ever heading in one direction! You’ve cut Basso some slack there because of his age which is fair enough, but if one rider so far has been a big disappointment it’s definitely him. He’s been awful.

Just like they did at Swindon

You forgot to mention the free car park....

Embarrassing

Well Glasgow are involved!

Why have Redcar produced a Poole track?

JFC!

We'll see

From the horses mouth, what a load of BS, no changes are planned at Poole

Getting Philip Schofield's job on This Morning

As an Oxford fan who was starved of speedway for 14 years , be thankful that you are at least still running this year and get behind the club in any way you can to help . It will be a travesty if it goes , but I can’t help thinking if I were involved in the club how depressed I would feel reading some of the comments . The club needs you more now than when they were winning ..!

Hic, where is Danny Phillips when you need him

Think there is too much emphasis on the precision of the averages,possibly a better grading system would suit.Let’s face it going to .01 is a bit ludicrous in speedway.

You could argue that it's not the lowering of the averages is the problem, but the way certain teams have been put together. I think the idea behind the lowering of the averages was to try and cut out the number of "big-hitters" in the CL. But it has had the opposite effect in many cases and there are riders who have come in to the CL who are not ready.

Exactly this, Worrall is doing what he does every year and is a 5.5-6.5 rider at best so holding his own, Cook in his first full season in the top league and Jenkins as the RS are doing what's expected of them generally also, the problem mainly lies with how the team was set up originally, Basso should never of been in a HL role in his second season, number 2 or 4 at best, and Andersen should of been shoehorned in at reserve if they were so keen to have him back again, and the other ageing Dane Iversen is simply past his best sadly as a HL in this league.

How was the football match allowed to go on for so long? I thought there was a sports curfew in the area.

Over the years in his many , programme columns, magazine columns and now blogs Dick has written a fair amount of drivell under his various guises, but this one must be close to the top of the list for absolute balderdash

2 mins extra on 6 That's the equivalent proportionally of FIFTEEN for a standard half There was nothing in the added time any more significant than during 'normal' play so the extra additional time should've been no more than say an extra 45 seconds Also looked like the ref was ready to blow if Boro cleared the ball but just carried on until the attack finished - which is wrong. When times up then times up....

First time i've visited Glasgow this season and i left thinking this could be the year barring injuries that the Tigers lift some silverware. Bomber for me has always been box office regardless of where he rides, he's just a class act and worth the admission money on his own. Along with the in form duo of Basso and Brennan they form a strong heat leader trio. Glasgow seems to bring out the best in big Claus Vissing who along with Marcin Nowak form strong second strings. Ace Pjiper was very impressive tonight for someone 16 years old and as a Worky fan i'm gonna enjoy watching his progress for the Comets NDL team while the reborn Lee Complin is not far away from scoring bigger points. Bearing in mind it was cloudy most of the afternoon i was disappointed that there was dust from heat 1. Some of the racing was top drawer especially from Bomber and Tom Brennan. Scunny with the exception of flying Ryan Douglas and the early races of MPT were generally disappointing.The previous comments regarding their recent team changes are well justified in my opinion. At £20 pound admission and £3-50 for a programme its just as well the racing was generally entertaining.

Mountains where he belongs in reserve,hence why he’s scoring, need team to support each other won’t win much without team all contributing

They maybe thought Lucifer Sam was planning a visit and didn’t want to take any chances this time.

What a fantastic concept and fresh approach, well done Barry Bishop and co. Wishing every success with it.

It will be on Monday too

All too easy. Next!

That last part wouldn't work, as many 2.09 riders who improve their averages from 3 to 4 will be dropped for the next batch of 2.00 riders. I'd certainly be happy with the number 7 having to be the lowest averaged rider & not being allowed to get dropped in heat 8.

Lovely night for some speedway this evening... just saying (again)

Do heat leaders not ride at 1,3,5 then my mistake I have no problem with Scunthorpe fans in fact the ones I’ve ever met have been decent people but with the sweep of his sword he has gone from making you genuine challengers to joining the wannabes like my club also I believe the league ,sport should be run by an independent body as regardless who you are you will always have a bias towards your own team.I admit over the years I have no time for your promoter some of the things he has done I don’t think have been good for the sport. But then you can’t like everyone.

It's been the same for 20 years so nothing worth getting excited about. When they are backed into a corner with a constant stream of criticism coming their way then they hit out, it's human nature, we'd do the same. The responses I'm reading though are not their finest hour but that's where poor PR & lack of detail leads: Most disappointing bit for me is: "Everyone knows the situation at the Showground and we are not big enough to stop a £50 million development from going ahead, things are very sensitive with the Showground contract and who knows what happens after October this year." Anyone is big enough to make a noise and fuss but we don't appear to be doing either which is probably upsetting some fans? What's sensitive? The club has already said "We have a contract with the Showground until the end of October, and at this stage it is highly unlikely that this will be renewed" "If you're all so vocal why not get yourselves together and form a committee dedicated to saving Peterborough speedway rather than bashing it?" Isn't that the definition of a supporters club? A better suggestion would have been to join the supporters club who are working save the club and put your effort in that direction. Problem being that they seem to be as quiet as the management?

Moore’s a great manager actually - the idiot who attacked the Lineo needs life ban as well

Yes, I think we have made a big mistake & my views are on here to read yourself, but please, if you are related or sponsor a rider, praise & big up him, get his name spelt right. THOMPSON!!!

I can't help but laugh at the current situation. Dropping a young talented rider in Joe Thompson for a worse rider in ablitt along with Max Clegg who struggled in a top Leicester team. For all those who said it was 'the right call' ,' it makes sense', 'sorry Joe that's speedway' I can't help but think god what absolute clanger you've dropped there. I bet Joe's family have a cheeky smile on there face knowing Joe has signed for a club on a few miles down the road for them and the Scunthorpe management are slightly red faced !

Here’s another one from the Peterborough promotion team with yet more “I am great and you are bad” attitude. Carl Johnson: “It makes me sick to the back teeth with so called supporters of speedway, especially so called Peterborough supporters. I’ve been involved in this club pretty much all my life and never taken anything out of this club, I’ve put in hundreds of thousands of hours to be involved in this club and the work that everyone does behind the scenes by proper Peterborough supporters is amazing and without them we wouldn’t have a club now. We as a promotion appreciate everyone that turns up week in and week out to watch and pay with their hard earned money and again without them we wouldn’t have a club. Don’t you think we are trying to save the future of the club ? We have already said we have identified 2 potential plots of land to move too in the future. Dale work his arse off to get speedway at the Showground this season so loyal supporters could at least have a final season. Everyone knows the situation at the Showground and we are not big enough to stop a £50 million development from going ahead, things are very sensitive with the Showground contract and who knows what happens after October this year. Michael Tomalin is a main sponsor but not a promoter of the club and the decision on colour change wasn’t down to his investment as we have stated in the past if you have cared to listen and to the reasons why this happened. We cannot help the reasoning into why Nikki left the club when he did, and we as a management team are trying, and have been trying to secure a rider for that position but if the riders don’t want to come to the uk then please tell me with all your so called knowledge what we do ? You bash the club but I never see you at the track helping to keep this great club alive, you pay your money on the gate but want your say in what happens to the club, if your all so vocal why not get yourselves together and form a committee dedicated to saving Peterborough speedway rather than bashing it ? Why do you want everyone else to do the hard yards for someone else to criticise that decision…I’m sure you all think we sit here and don’t worry about the situation we are in, do we want the club to close ? NO do we want to be in the position we are in the league ? NO can we help it at the present moment ? Not really….City Auction Group ( Michael Tomalin) and Crendon timber ( John Clarke) have funded this club for a few seasons now and never questioned anything, they have supportive in every way and understand the current situation. If you so called Peterborough fans don’t like it then do something about it, don’t just say we pay our money so we are entitled to have our say put some effort in to helping save the club or at least help when we need it…your not there putting up air fences or taking them down or in the winter replacing fence panels or painting , your not there sweeping the pits or cleaning the stands, your not there with your hand in the toilet cleaning it. No your sat at home on your keyboard waiting to bash someone or something else. If you want this club to survive quit moaning and bashing it and support it like you claim you do. I expect to see all you club bashers on Monday evening.” Sadly there are many delusional sheep rushing to the defence of the shocking attitude of the Peterborough promotion team. It all reinforces the point, “put up or shut up”. Expect no changes and a season without a single league point folks because in their eyes they are GREAT!

Whatever the result he couldn't be a bigger pratt

when i saw it live i thought that Vissing would be excluded for that , but after the replays he was unlucky to have the decision go against him Well Done Glasgow

Yes, he was very good at Scunny as well, wish we could find an up and coming rider like Basso and Pijper at Scunny, think we will have Simon Lambert when he is 80 years old

Claus a little bit unlucky IMO.Bit of 50/50.

Have to agree with you Lisa.Make their top 5 stronger and this will keep Cook at 6.He is doing his bit,get rid of any of the Danes as they aren't doing their jobs.

So it all the fault of King Charles.

Its terribly sad at Peterborough. I have been there with closing clubs got the T shirt several times over. I won't bore everyone withe clubs that I have supported and seen close over the years, suffice to say there isnt ONE club in the Greater London area anymore (even inside the M25 ) Back in the day there was one every night. (sunday needed a visit to 3rd division Eastbourne or Rye House training track .) As each one closed I never easily transferred my support to another club, but after a while went along to the nearest one support the away team. Never going to see any investment into Peterborough for what will be their final season. Why would you ? Dont give me the line that the Council HAVE to provide a site for the Panthers.........even if they did who would stump up north of 1/4 million to build a new track and a stadium ???? Dragons Den would all be "OUT"
