proud panther

My first Speedway hero in 1968 at Kings Lynn. I would get him to sign a photo or programme nearly every week, & he would gladly sign it, even though I must have got on his nerves. RIP Thanks for the memories.

Gives Fisher a bit more time to recover from his groin strain lol.

Dryml giving up when Ostergaard took him wide, when he could have caught Williamson, nearly cost us the match. Very good effort by Panthers in the end, & after the first 6 races, some very good racing. Kicked off on both sides of the pits as well, so plenty to entertain us all round.

The brilliant track at Scunthorpe, & a lot of racers in both teams, means I am really looking forward to this meeting.Think it could go either way, & feel Dryml is the key for Panthers.

The crowd was 800 at least, a lot of fans were on the first bend, so the stand wasn't as full as normal.

The beers in your court lol. Where do you live Scotsman ?

I guessed by your name you wasn't a full time Panthers fan, but the club still needs as much support as possible. My opinion is that the management should have avoided a meeting so close to Truckfest ending, but I put that down to the fact we always had a couple of days extra to get everything ready because we raced on a Thursday. Nothing sinister just a bit naive on the part of management. When you do decide to attend another meeting, let me know, & I will come over & buy you a pint.

Scotsman, you seem a decent bloke, & a good speedway fan. Think its time you left the H&S issue, & concentrated on supporting Panthers again.We need all the fans we can get mate.

Jenga, what time lol ?

Going to Cardiff Willowman, but will be spending friday night in Walkabout lol.

Willowman, went to Somerset last season, & it was worth the long drive. Brilliant track, & a cracking clubhouse that served a good pint or 8 lol.

Good luck Ricky on your continued recovery.

No problem, the rain that had threatened all day came down really hard, & the decision to call it off was an easy one in my opinion. Onto Ipswich hopefully on Thursday.

Yes Lucifer Sam, thought it might save a few fans petrol money.

ITS OFF

Leicester taking the blade off the back of the tractor that had broken down on the track, only to find out it had ran out of diesel !

Whats the weather forecast for Thursday ?

Lets hope the weather stays fine, & we get some speedway. Not had a meeting for 10 days, & need my fix.

Whilst it sounds romantic to blood the youngsters, have we really got any that are competitive at that level at the moment ?

Neil Watson only types what Mick Horton tells him to, so if you are looking for an explanation, you should be having a go at Mick. Personally, I think a full explanation should be forthcoming from the promotion, but i'm not holding my breath.

Very stupid lol. What is more amazing, people must be buying them on a regular basis for them to run out ! The food at the pub next to the stadium looked lovely but I felt too sick to try it. Maybe next time lol.

Wont ever complain about the fish & chips running out again. Tried them for the first time yesterday, & they were truly awful !

iannewsman, if you don't go to Stoke anymore, why do you feel the need to slag the promotion off ? Sounds like sour grapes to me, & before you ask, I have never met Malcolm Vasey, so my opinion isn't biased towards him.

He still has to answer to his bosses, the same as a manager in any industry having directors to answer to. I think you would be better talking to the directors of Stoke speedway iannewsman, do you still attend speedway at Stoke ?

Good luck to all at Stoke, especially Malcolm, who always responds to the negative comments aimed at Stoke. I suspect that his hands are tied when it comes to sorting a lot of the problems out, & I feel that sometimes the moaners are shooting the messenger.
