I can remember when Lynn closed for one season in 1996, we had grand plans to go to either the EoES or the Foxhole most weeks.....ended up doing both just once plus the Overseas Final at Coventry. It's not the same as your own club and the reality is most P'boro fans will drift away if they don't run next year.

We're going to be scratching around at Halloween again. Never learn. One of the many issues with play offs, rarely (never?) Held in optimum conditions for speedway or for spectating. Either wet/ drying track or your freezing your nuts off in the stand.

It was effectively 5 points from 2 rides as you full well know. Yes he missed the gate in his first ride and packed up at the back with machinery issues, but then looked fast in his next two and was clearly faster than Bewely in his fourth ride when he steamed under him and Bewely dropped it for which Doyle got ridiculously excluded. Let’s not start the “he’s no loss anyway” stuff because it just makes you look daft. And as for the second highlighted bit, nobody is falling for that old codswallop!! Why do fans do this nonsense? Make out their team is really up against it, underdogs, more disadvantaged than the opposition with injury, when it’s blatantly not true and they’re clearly strong favourites? It’s bizarre

Meetings are called off too easily in the earlier parts of the season with seemingly 'plenty of time' to fit them in. I like a meeting on an iffy track, always proves interesting, definitely upping the skill level required.

That wins the internet today

Peterborough team from 2021?

Morning! Bonus points if you can name the riders Could that be Paco Castanga, third from the left?

It’s not speedway though is it. I personally wouldn’t cross the road to watch any four wheeled motorsport even if it were free.

Is that why you’re in love with Laguta??

Doyle is second hand. Laguta is fresh.

Doyle has said he is having a few days off and then be back on a bike. So looks like he will ride on Thursday.

Edinburgh were not worthy of being in play offs but turned out to be the best of a bad lot at bottom of table.

Im biased being a Witches fan but what a signing this guy has turned out to be Gives 110% every meeting ....not just here for a payday and turning up as and when it suits him. His scoring has been sensational but i want to touch on the other side of our sport He is the last one out of the pits to the changing rooms.....signs EVERY autograph and has EVERY picture EVERY week........always has a smile on his face and chats to everyone I knew he was a class rider but to see how he interacts with all the fans all the time he has been a pure pleasure to see every week We need more riders that do this not just hastily disappear after a meeting Ive heard from various sources that at away matches he has time for all the opposing supporters to Thankful as an Ipswich fan we didnt sign Holder with the attitude he has!!

As amusing as that is to watch riding around in celebration after the meeting is not an official session, you may as well throw them out for wearing shorts and a t-shirt between sessions

Put a sock in it ffs

Apologies, that's poor etiquette from me to post another one before the current one has been guessed. Yep mines Norwich.

Niether, both tracks are crap

Looking at the standard of rider that could get aWildcard next season, surely there has too be case for giving Emil and Artum wildcards.Two of the Worlds best sitting watching does nothing for the series.

You could be right, but I haven't spoken to any Panthers fan that is interested in going to Lynn. Think the combination of Buster appearing to give up on Panthers, & the quality of racing at Lynn declining will deter a lot of Panthers fans. Personally, I won't be giving Buster any money.

Let's hope Jack Smith can get some points for us tonight...weather permitting Also Belle Vue tweeted CW R/R 5.81 meaning only brennan and res can take rides? Must be a typo as he was 6.55 last averages

Won't go anywhere it's Peterborough or nothing

I found it was never the same after Reading closed. I put it down to not caring who won, it takes all the passion out of it.

Lewy has always had a soft spot for Godfrey lol.

I’m a Scunny fan and by far he’s the most impressive rider at the Eddie Wright Raceway he’s a class act on and off the track

Scunny for me, wont be giving Buster another penny after this season

The few on here are only a small fraction of the fans attending the Showground. If Lynn sign a few of the Panthers best riders, i can see a 2/300 out of the 1200/1400 or so making the trip over, if Lynn have a competitive team.

Very ambitious by the Brummies, but I fear for their future if true. Hopefully they'll get some Wolves fans attending to make it work.

Neither, will be saving my money for trips to the continent most likely. I think Buster is probably thinking a lot of Panthers fans will migrate down the A47 but I can’t see that happening.

Sooner drive past and go to either Mildenhall or Ipswich, never will step foot into KL again while chapman still owns the club, may even try Leicester or Scunthorpe.

Wouldn't give Buster another penny so would be Leicester but the racing can't compare to the showground.

I reckon the vast majority just support a team and enjoy watching the riders and racing, without bothering or questioning all the shizzle ... unless or until their team is affected. This forum tends to attract fans who have a real interest, whereas, for example Speedway Friends on Facebook proves that there are plenty of people out there who are barely computer literate or even capable of conscious thought.

For goodness sake, yes we're up against it, so what let's all try to send positive vibes not negative ones all the time. If the meeting goes ahead I'll be watching on TV, probably with everything crossed but until the 2nd legs finished I'll keep the faith as I hope all Witches supporters will.

2 ex Peterborough riders does that also mean that Basso racing fan is transferring over to you guys?

What about Sheffield? Losing their top 2, reminds me of 2017 losing Freddie and Jacob in the semi.

That’ one is guffed out, no more room for guff on there.

I'm a scunthorpe fan now

Oxford and Glasgow can toss a coin for who goes up. Loser is the one who has to join the Premiership.

very slim chance of it being one league imo, I think a team will come up and the premiership will be six teams. Like it was in 2021 or 2022 (whatever year it was)

Can't see it if Glasgow go into the premiership Basso & Vad will ride there.

1 Very Cheap 2 Even Cheaper 3 Dirt Cheap 4 Extremely Cheap 5 Bit Less Cheaper than 1 6 Free 7 Whats left when everyone else is signed elswhere so they pay to ride for the club

If he says so

Neither am I but I know enough and there is nothing (usual rumours aside) around to justify that post.

Postponement is the right call, weather from 6pm looks horrendous. We don't need poor tracks in the play offs it won't do the sport any good. This also favours both teams, chances we see Norrick and JD back next week and the last thing the Aces wanted was a heat 10 call off.

Swap Redcar to next Tuesday, Oxford to Friday. Can’t see an obvious reason that wouldn’t work, other than I can’t attend, which should be a dealbreaker tbh.

Only 70 minutes to run a meeting must be a record lol

Was going to say how do people predict teams when the leagues are up in the air atm. Are we basing it on this season and assuming a team moves up so Prem can carry on? Now looks like I am following you around on the threads lol.

Apparently Zmarzlik was wearing "SAVE PETERBOROUGH SPEEDWAY" on his kevlars hence the disqualification.

Is he kind you say..... Donated the prize for breaking the track record to the SRBF

They've got the wrong approach. Fair enough we're more than likely chasing a lost cause but at least we can say we've put up a fight by trying everything possible rather than rolling the red carpet out for AEPG.
