proud panther

Love him or hate him, Ben Barker is worth the admission fee, with his all action racing. I'm probably in the minority, but I think he is brilliant to watch.

The larger bar will help the fans the way Scunny are going, because they will need a few drinks to witness getting beat most weeks. Wallner was an accident waiting to happen, must have fallen in half his races this season. Still a shame for him, but hope he calms down a bit when he comes back, because he is a danger to other riders.

Can see this being close, with Panthers to win by 6.

Track grading at Kings Lynn has the same effect as a bald man combing his hair. Buster will never rush a meeting, because he want's you in the stadium as long as possible to spend money on food, drink etc.

Wallner was a disgrace, fell & stayed on the track when we were leading, & then fell & cleared the track when his partner was ahead. We got a 5-1 in the rerun, so it backfired, & he isn't the first rider to do it, but I think the rules need to be looked at to stop it happening. Good performance from Panthers, & there is more to come from a few of our boys. Hope Hansen isn't going to be a 2 track pony like last year, because if he scores well away, I think we can surprise a few teams on our travels.

Fine & sunny 8 miles from the track.

Hopefully BWD will get his bikes working properly, & the new bar will have plenty of beer, because we are stopping over for this at the nearby 7 lakes caravan park.

Damien Bates has done more in 6 weeks than that muppet Helmsley did in 4 years. Get down on Saturday, & support the man, because it's very exciting times for Leicester fans in my opinion.

Very true Lukas, Simon lent Lewis Blackbird 1 of his Peter John's engines a couple of years back. Team spirit is very important in my opinion.

Lambert scored good points away, so his awkward style must suit away tracks as well. As long as any rider scores points, it doesn't matter how he looks on the track. Garrity has got an awful style, but people say he is exciting.

Given an injury free run, Simon can improve his average in my opinion. He is also very good in the pits for team spirit.

Really pleased to hear that another new promotion are trying to win the fans back by improving the track.

Good track & good meeting in my opinion. Hope Lewis Kerr is ok after another bad looking crash.

Ruthless, but the right decision in my opinion if the riders dropped would miss matches to ride abroad. Next season, the BSPA should only allow riders that prioritise our leagues to ride here.

Can see this being close, with Panthers coming out on top by 6-8 points. Just hope the track is grippy, because both teams are full of real racers, & it promises to be a cracker.

Is the track okay after the recent rain ?

Hope the number 7's are guaranteed pay for 3 points, or they won't have any chance of breaking even, never mind make a profit.

Neil, what does Horton actually own ? Would guess any riders that are assets of Coventry, but is there anything else ?

Great move by Ged yet again, with loads of Coventry fans bumping the attendance.

Went to Hull KR v Sheffield Sunday, & it was £26 for adults, & £20 for concessions. Far too much for 2nd tier rugby in my opinion. Still got over 7000 fans through the gate. Give me speedway any day of the week against that.

Hope this means Go Speed don't get any more money.

No way Horton has lost 200 grand, he ain't got a pot to p--- in !!

Bjerre is a confidence rider, & could be a steal 0n his average if he starts the season strong.

Surely if the council want Brandon stadium to be saved, they should allow planning on half the site in return for the stadium & other half of the site being signed over to them. They could then lease this to a speedway promoter & put some money in their coffers.

Fantastic gesture from Sheffield, hope the newbies become regulars.
