Is There Hope For The Future.?
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Sidney the robin's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Totally gutted for Danyon. Really hope he can come back fully fit and continue to progress as he had started to. -
What a cracker to end the season with!! Ged will be able to cover next years free meeting from the travelling Witches fans for this alone - no excuses now for 2018. Witches will start as favourites but with Danny ill and Rory and Kyle returning from injury there are still plenty of questions marks as to whether that should be the case. Boro are more that capable of running up a big score at home against anyone. The fact they havent done so too often doesnt mean it cant happen this time.

I think its such a shame how the 2nd half of the season has turned out for Glasgow. They have done so much right to improve the whole approach to promoting and running a club really showing the way that others should follow. To see matters fall apart on track as it has must be galling. All the best to the Tigers 👍

He has been fantastic for the Witches and deservedly picked up the Massif Rider of the Year award. 👏👏 Showed tremendous spirit to work through a few confidence issues early on and is I think the highest averaged genuine 2 pointer at the end of the season.Also handled and responded to the team change deadline fiasco with great maturity and professionalism. -
Pay Rates Mystery
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to waytogo28's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Its only about 300 meetings using 6 points a meeting half at £100 per point and half at £200. Dont they all do 2 meetings a day 5 days a week with no gaps through the whole season 😛 -
Starting
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Hamish McRaker's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Given that to anticipate the start the clutch is dropped before the rider knows the tapes will definitely rise then it is 'just hoping for best' and therefore luck. The advantage the cheating rider has is that there is a very narrow window within which the tapes can rise so he has greater chance of getting away with it compared with a pure random tapes rise. -

Anticipation is not an art it is pure luck. -
Peterborough Panthers 2018
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Ive not seen even 1 post 'revelling' in the siuation. I also dont think anyone sees the club or fans as 'acceptable collateral damage'. If Boro were to close as a result of this it would be a lamentable situation. -
How many does he need - what dates are planned for the final? 😜 I am being a little flippant about it - I can understand the position of those questioning the facility. I wouldnt be so one eyed as to ignore the fact that my team could be as capable as any of playing the system. To date however there seems to have been nothing but consistent statements from the rider himself saying he is not fit and he has no reason to do Ipswich any favours given the deadline fiasco.

Peterborough Panthers 2018
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So quite a number saying any punishment should be lessened if it would lead to Boro closing and that scenario should be taken into account. But many of those same number saying if Horton were to return then they wouldnt go. If Boro then closed it would be down to those making the decision not to go. Pot/kettle -if you dont believe you should follow through those decisions that could lead to closure..... -
well if he hasnt been injured he has been withholding his services.... Rather like the previous 2 months or so whilst he was still riding...
-
Also gives Kyle and Rory extra time to get fit. And if our GP star is fit to ride in the showpiece event I think that means a guest will be allowed rather than rr.....
-
He didnt see the track staff with shovels working on 20m of track whenever Boro were on gate 4 either so no surprise really....
-
much better than some with many years experience 😀

Cam can only even have a chance to make the GP by entering the main Aussie Champs. For a rider from WA this is a huge additional expense. So far he has prioritised his finances preparing for the next British season. He is now really back to where he was after season 3. To a great extent it has then been the serious wrist injuries that has held him back rather than racing talent. A more disciplined approach to machinery maintenance has no doubt also helped.

As ever there seems to be be more smoke and mirrors than in a travelling fairs fun house (And thats speedway generally not just Boro) -

If that is the case and upwards of £40k has been needed just to get the Panthers from August to the end of the season then the set up isnt viable within whatever the current business plan is. Whether its Ged or someone else they will need to look for a diferent way in the future.
