  3. TBH Simon has had one, if not his best season ever, which is great to see. He's "stuck at it" when others might have been tempted to "chuck it in".

  4. That’s why theses fixtures should have been raced earlier in the season when tracks are drier and can be worked on 9 team s in a league , BSN series and knockout cup fixtures and still riding in mid October is crazy

  5. No need to, Dr Shovelar's signed his fitness form he's good to go. Think the good Dr is also heading out to Denmark to carry out a fitness test on Claus later this afternoon.

  6. There are a lot of wise words here. Re the final para I think it is quite possible that AEPG will revise the application now before it goes to ctte in attempt to head off some of the arguments, which could delay the process by several months. Oh and those councillors you are seeking to influence may well read Panthers social media as a result of being lobbied, so try and remove all those references to councillors taking 'brown envelopes'. Nothing is guaranteed to lose the sympathy more quickly of someone whose voice could be an important one in our favour. [Councillor of 18 years]

  9. Enjoyable meeting and some good racing, track held up well, despite all the rain in worky the last few days, some good riding by the team, impressed with senna summers, one to watch I think, if luke crang rode like this all season, comets would have won more meetings, but been a good year for the return of the comets, thanks to Andrew Bain for bringing them back, let's wait and see what happens next year. Next week the NDLRC if the riders turn up and give it a go, could be a very good meeting, let's hope the weather gods are on our side

  11. Part of me thinks you’re right. However it can’t be under estimated how much these two have brought to the club in terms of adding the feel good factor & the general positivity around the place. For that reason what they bring across the season is far more important.

  13. Correct. 1991 finished second in the league. Lyons was sold/transferred to Belle Vue soon after that for the 1992 season. But still had Bowes and Mick Powell who were also on the way up, it would be Super Steve's last season in 1992, but then had Nagy who would be 1992 divisional rider's champion, as well as Neil Collins, 1992 finished 3rd in the league. And then of course Tigers were league champions and ko cup winners in both 1993 and 1994 seasons when the league was decided as it should be - by finishing top of the league.

  14. We want the 1st leg, so perhaps Wednesday morning would suit. The Glasgow riders can fly down to Bournemouth airport on the Allied Vehicles private plane and be in plenty of time for the 2nd leg.

  15. I'm very happy to see that Sport England has now objected to the planning application and has included a section on the proposed loss of the speedway track within it's objection. It references the face that the application does not deal with the loss in accordance with LP30 and LP36 and the relevance of para 99 of the NPPF Sports England also references comments from the RFU, Football Foundation and ECB, as well as commenting on the proposed golf facility - broadly suggesting that more consultation is required with those bodies and that the need be demonstrated Another positive step I believe. The Council cannot just ignore all these objections, including where they come from sports governing bodies - even if AEPG thinks it can run roughshod over them 01322034.pdf (peterborough.gov.uk)

  16. That was laying a new track in an existing stadium. That's doable in the time. But building from scratch like say Workington would be a tough ask between now and April.

  17. Was it though? Even Kelvin said the racing wasn't good. Barring 13, 14 & 15 was gate and go. Didn't think that or the wolves meeting previous was a very satisfactory ending to the season being run in terrible conditions. Once again the huge issue with play offs in this country, running most important meetings of the season in October!!

  25. Did seem that way for the second leg of the 1991 KO Cup Final down at Arena Essex complete with Bo Petersen, Brian Karger, etc, when Tigers drew overall on aggregate and forced a replay and restaging of both legs again. And of course wouldn't be a replay now, it would be a deciding superheat.

  29. I think most Glasgow fans want the first leg and Poole the second. So if only the weather would play ball and allow it to happen.

  30. In my opinion we have not had a good track since the last meeting before the CLRC. This is not knocking the track staff or the club, it is the weather we have had leading up to the meetings or on the day. We have used covers, graded dirt off, put dirt on etc and the track has not been its usual self. Off the top of my head: CLRC- rain before hand Glasgow- rained off after 12 Oxford- rained before start Glasgow-rained most of week before Scunthorpe- poured down Thursday Not looking to make an excuse for preparation, just had a bad throw of the dice weather wise.

  33. that is so true, tractors seem to be out to much, and im not convinced they actually did any good with the track as it was last night,saying that a night at Redcar is always a decent one, stadium and track are tip top Looking forward to a few trips up there again next year already Great performance by Scunny on the night

  35. If he has a medical certificate to say otherwise then he is injured, it’s all conjecture let’s wait and see if he is fit or not. The track may or may not be a quagmire lots of if buts or maybes in your post. It will be whatever it will be instead of just making stuff up.

  36. Whilst Denmark, Sweden and Poland have fixed race nights there won’t be one big league in the UK. Next year the Prem will have at least 6 (Birm, BV, KL, Leic, Ips, Shef) possibly 7 with the new track (not blabbing with the location, I’ll let the promotion do that). As for team building average needs a bump up from 39 to either 40.5 or 41 to allow teams to get a couple of big hitters in (existing or new to league) and a decent engine room rather than being full of 4 pointers.

  37. You can’t beat been there with live sport when those 2 play off comebacks were achieved. Absolutely remarkable nights of entertainment. I always felt Wednesday had a chance against Peterborough but wasn’t confident last night especially with Emil and Doyley and I expected king and Rew to see them over the line. The track held up well despite the rain and none of the riders complained. Great attitude from both sets of riders to crack on and get to the end. If a result had been called after 10 heats we’d won anyway and we would have been robbed of some really good racing in the latter heats.

  38. I'd say the exact opposite, Barker would be the first name on my team sheet without a doubt. I see no reason why his average would drop, besides you don't need all 7 to up their averages to make the play-offs. Look at Stevie Worrall at Poole for a prime example, Complin dropped his average for Glasgow etc. Apart from that, it may not be able to sign heat leaders racing on a Saturday night?

  43. Well had a night's sleep to get over the disappointment, but am pleased for tigerblade, Kyle, Picko and Jason. We win as a team and lose as a team, and boy has this witches 7 been a team. It has been an absolute joy having Emil race for us and along with Doyley must take the credit (along with Peterborough obviously) for us being in the final. I'm sure Guy is a happy bunny, both his teams winning the end of season trophies.
