  1. I have to say its been a few years since I have been looking forward to watching a Panthers team take to the Showground track as much as I am this one. Win lose or draw I think the entertainment value of this group will not be bettered anywhere
  2. Which is how it is with many sports teams I imagine manager finds riders willing to sign, goes to owner and puts it to him along the lines of ... these 7 riders are all ok to sign, we have arranged x amount of local sponsorship leaving a wage bill of y amount. Owner agrees if y is within budget. Rather than owner says to manager .. here's your riders go manage them
  3. I think, as has been said before ... Its Ged who has built the Panthers team, not Buster!!
  4. I think its more of - starts well but as the season goes on not much is invested in equipment and struggles then on the flymo's!!
  5. The investing made by Glasgow doesnt appear to have paid off
  6. I can vaguely remember something along the lines of planning being turned down because the noise would upset geese flying up the Severn Estuary, or something like that!!
  7. I think the first morning will be like a market with promoters, who are trying to sell their clubs, all standing behind suitcases having donned sheepskin coats and cloth caps shouting at the passing punters in broad cockney accents .... 'I'm not asking 20,000 I'm not even asking 10,000' etc etc!!
  8. My Tv viewing is now GP's, SoN and polish league ... Never used to miss British speedway up to the last 2 seasons.
  9. Being a bit of an Emil fan, it doesnt show that he took the outside gate in all his rides
  10. A simple no would have done !! I was particulary interested that side numbers must be fitted to the side of the motorcycle .... amazing what the rules cover !!
  11. Are the reserves not given to 4th in the challenge then work downwards??
  12. As does the rider (points money) the promotion and his team mates. Pretty sure if it could have been changed it would have been
  13. How much is admission? And I take it we can use the ticket from the abandoned meeting against Leicester?
  14. Now ... The fencing of Petersen by Howe WAS a malicious act. Without doubt the most obvious one I have seen in well over 40 years!!
  15. You would think that you would check the rules before paying your £19
  16. So are you saying that the takings from the meeting will be given to Lewis???
  17. Isnt it in the programme - £1 off for every uncompleted heat up to heat 10, so as I see it £4 off with ticket ... WOW!!
  18. True, but cant the promotion remind him of a 10:30 curfew (if that's correct) and say 'Look ref its gone 10 ... we aren't going to get this meeting in. Or maybe an hour befor then with 'Look ref its going to be around 10 before we can start... etc etc ???
  19. Best wishes to both injured riders. My moan is (and I was there) is, there is obviously only one reason to keep everyone waiting until that late at night to restart a meeting that imo should have been called of way before then - and that has nothing to do with public entertainment, it was all about trying to get to heat 10 even if it was midnight so that no money would be lost on a rerun meeting!!
