proud panther

We buy our tickets off the touts a couple of hours before the start & save about 30%. We stopped in Newport once, & the hotels were a bit cheaper.

Ashtree 123, I will give you my opinion of your rant regarding Lewis, & will include a few facts. Regarding his crash at Peterborough, he lost 8 spokes out of his front wheel,so the bike was not easy to push back to the pits. Nobody liked your post or agreed with you.Lewis is regarded as 1 of the fairest riders by other riders. Young Robert & his dad had a major row a few Sundays ago, & the language was not good on either side. They are all facts. Don't think you have seen much speedway if you are surprised at riders falling out in the heat of the moment,because in my experience, it happens all the time. Greg Hancock can do it. If Lewis had rode at Newcastle, & had to pull out after a couple of rides, we would have been struggling to win the meeting, especially with Ulrich also carrying an injury.Better to ride at Wolverhampton, because if he had to pull out, he hasn't let Panthers down in my opinion.

Must be cheaper to keep Morley, so no great surprise when Havelock is involved.

Heres one for SCB. How many assessed 7 pointers have reached their average in the last 5 years ? Would guess the figure would be very low.

Whats the weather forecast in Newcastle tomorrow ?

Think it was a cracking meeting, & a draw would have been a fair result. Be interesting to see what the team is in a week or two.

King actually used the engine Lambert rode in Vojens if the rumours are true. Either way, he doesn't give a toss about Panthers, so we need to get used to him missing meetings. Shame, because he is a cracking rider to watch.

Get the track providing good racing, & the slightly weak team will be less of a problem.

Would imagine programmes dont make hardly any profit at the average meeting, apart from the advertising. The other point that is being missed is that there was nobody in the stadium to buy them !

How much are they to buy, or are they not officially being sold yet ?

Just missed the chance to do that with Todd Kurtz ! God help us if Plymouth are paying higher wages than us.

Graversen a good guest ? Are you having a laugh !!

Thing is, Bridger hasn't got many other options to earn a living as far as I know. His professional boxing career hasn't got him rich yet, so where does he go from here ?

Won't be put back because Wolves are riding in the evening, so Lewis would be missing.

Ales Dryml !!!

As I asked earlier, is Todd Kurtz in England ? The majority of 7 point newcomers don't average 7 in their 1st season, so feel that would be a bad option.

Special mention to Andre Compton. After his horror crash last season, it would have been understandable if he had called it a day. His form & entertainment value last Thursday & last night was brilliant. Gutted I am laid up with a prolapsed disc, because I was due to go to Owlerton tomorrow, which promises to be a cracking meeting with all the racers in both teams.

What are the crowd levels like between the Elite & National League at Eastbourne ?

Agree dazpanther, but struggling to find a rider around 7 points to replace Ollie when the new averages come out.

To be fair to the management, there doesn't appear to be many options available to them. Sheffield are in a similar position, but Stead will stay number 1, so they can continue to use guests. Think we will be R/R or a lower points replacement from next month.

BWitcher, do you know the criteria to qualify to play County Cricket in this country ?

Whoever is to blame, its a crying shame that a talented rider is banned from the Premier League when we don't have enough riders to fill all the teams, & we have rubbish foreigners like Konopka Pallavora & Barrett still racing here on sub 4 point averages.

Didn't think heat 15 counted towards the green sheet averages ?

With Proctor out the Sheffield team, that rules Garrity & Bellego out. Whats happened to Todd Kurtz, thought he was on a plane from Australia a week ago ?

Bridger for Panthers maybe ? Rumors he is signing for Leicester & doubling up. Looks like us or Sheffield if true.
