GOOD NEWS! ROMOTER Ged Rathbone is delighted to be able to confirm that Peterborough will race in the Premier League in 2017. Rathbone has taken time to consider his future involvement in speedway following a difficult campaign, but he is now determined to continue taking the club forward. And it really is full steam ahead after Panthers received a major financial boost by thrashing out a new agreement with major backers T Balfe Construction for the next two years. In a message to supporters, Rathbone said: "Everyone is well aware of the amount of time and money that has gone into running Peterborough Speedway for the last couple of years. "It has turned into a seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year job for myself and my partner, Lisa - and an unpaid one at that! "It obviously has a huge impact on our families and friends, but it is a labour of love as far as we are concerned. "We have such an affection for the sport, for Peterborough as a club, and for the fantastic fans - 99.9 per cent of whom have given us such brilliant backing. "We've not once regretted stepping forward in the winter of 2014 to ensure the racing continued in Peterborough, and we're not about to let all the hard work go to waste. http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.2946
