proud panther

Tungate for Zagar.

Can't understand why we need to know the team now. If the declared team is poor in your opinion when it's announced, you may have a point. Until then, we need to support the alleged new owner in my opinion.

Most of the riders rumoured to be at Panthers next season aren't currently declared with any other team. Maybe the possible change of ownership is taking a bit longer than expected, & this is holding up the official declaration reference our team next season. The fact we have got a team next season is a massive bonus in my opinion, so lets just enjoy it, however long it takes to announce the team.

Is Kerr that strong ?

I'm a bit worried we might lose a couple of the teams that have senior teams, like Plymouth. Shame the IOW can't be persuaded to come back.

Be interesting to see what other teams are running in the National League next season.

Bates wasn't the promoter last time. As you say, good luck to them. I also think they will get more away fans next season.

Of course it does, the promotion know how much riders wages are, plus all the other running costs. They haven't gone up to lose money, & must be confident that the crowds will stay high enough to break even at least.

You have virtually told us the team, so 8th December is bit of an anti climax.

The promotion already have a team in the Premiership, so I don't know why people are thinking Leicester won't be able to cope financially.

If Schlein is a serious option, & we are losing our top three from last season, we are in trouble.

Bloody hell, a pint in all the bars mentioned in Worky will put me into double figures & wobbly territory lol. Would definitely give it a go if we make it up next year though.

Rambo is 100% committed to whoever he rides for, & is brilliant for team spirit. Would much rather have him in my team, rather than an overrated foreigner who will cost more with flights etc, & score less points.

Far too young.

Agree, I was making reference to trying to find enough people to fund Newcastle opening again.

Even with 800 fans, you need to take the children & a lot of adults out of the equation when it comes to putting £1000 into the Newcastle fund.

Where are you going to find 1000 people interested in Newcastle speedway ? Less than half that figure was the average crowd last season.

Would love to meet THJ. How far is Maryport ?

If I came up to see the new track, I would probably come up for the weekend. Question to THJ, as it appears you like a drink. Where could I go nearby for a good night out ?

Get back to planet earth. The only part of your post that is relevant is if only. No offence meant, but that isn't possible.

How are all these top riders going to be able to return to the league when it is rumoured the points limit is being reduced ?

Well I certainly didn't want them all back, & I'm sure a lot of other people didn't either.

He did well at reserve, as most of the team did. Winning the reserves race seems to help most riders. The mistake the management made was keeping him for last season, as he had zero chance of maintaining his average.

Totally agree.
