Believe that was Swaffham? Unsure if he tried to buy it though.

Craig Cook had to go to hospital last night with a very high heart rate. Antti Vuolas will replace him at No 4. That's another excuse added to the British Speedway Absent Excuse Bingo.

Not even a 1/2 of the crowd from Ipswich last week! Poor Buster, how will he cope!

Are we in line for the first sun break of the season tonight? Would be the perfect way to show our sport off on TNT!

The last update on the Save Peterborough Speedway Facebook page was this 20 hours ago. Election of Mayor for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Area 1 May 2025 The candidates are: Paul Bristow, The Conservative Party Candidate Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Lorna Dupre, Liberal Democrat Bob Ensch, Green Party candidate Anna Smith, Labour and Co-operative Party We sent the following email to all the candidates. We will publish the responses we received on Monday 28th April, it may help you decide who you wish to cast your vote for. Dear (Salutation) The sport of motorcycle Speedway has been established at the East of England Showground in Peterborough since 1970 and has competed at the highest level in the U.K. as a team (Peterborough Panthers) winning numerous trophies. Individually the club has been the home to several individual national and world champions. The team has been featured on worldwide live television broadcasts bringing the City of Peterborough to the living rooms of people from Europe, Australasia and the Americas. Peterborough City Council’s reaction to the possibility of development of the East of England Showground Speedway track has been inappropriate and inadequate. Will you please confirm that if elected you will: 1) Ensure that the new Local Plan protects and preserves the East of England Showground Speedway track. 2) Ensure that local and national policies for the protection of sporting facilities and the Speedway track are applied. 3) Ensure that Council Officers uphold and apply the law. Please do not hesitate to contact us if any questions arise. Thanking you in advance. Yours sincerely For and on behalf of: Forever Panthers Limited

Confirmed broken wrist for Ben Cook confirmed by Leszno https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/1183537/zuzel-pech-fogo-unii-leszno-jest-komunikat-ws-stanu-zdrowia-bena-cooka Translated by Google, Statement below "Ben Cook has a broken wrist after yesterday's accident in the English league. At the moment we cannot estimate how long the Australian will be out of action. The training staff may use the player's eligible replacement, decisions in this matter will be made immediately before the match in Krosno" - we read in the club's statement.

There's a stream on https://www.leicesterlionstv.com/ and they have an archive stream's section, so you can buy the steam after the event aswell I'd imagine.

https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/deadline-looms-for-leisure-village-development-plans-for-east-of-england-showground-5019755 I'm sure an extension will be given, as the council are desperate for this to go through.

Looks like he averaged 2.363 per ride in U24 Ekstraliga in 2024 https://ekstraliga.pl/en/se/classification-list/u24e/2024

Thank you to all involved today, especially to all the speakers and the passion they showed for our club. Also a big vote of thanks to the Chair of the committee, I believe he really did sway the votes of some of the committee, with his passion for the showground facility. As for that Cllr Fitzgerald, the less said the better, he must be friends with Mr Butterfield who flapped his way through all afternoon, getting people who are obviously more qualified than him to fights his battles as he couldn’t fight them himself!

Cheers guys, and fully deserved

First time going to Oxford tonight for many many years, any recommendations on where to stand?

Must have celebrated too hard getting Zielona Góra into the play offs yesterday after his heat 15 win over R.Lambert!

Leszno got relegated yesterday just 4 years after winning their 4th title in a row.

The PSH Environmental Stars will operate rider replacement in the No.2 position which means all riders with the exception of Adam Ellis are entitled to a ride.

Good to see the pit gate, can be fixed quickly when people actually want to run a meeting https://x.com/trackstaruk/status/1820000210673717734?s=46&t=rPICTg2ioQqN25iM48knaA

Jan Kvech in… Is that really exciting?

Is this to announce the meeting will actually go ahead for a change?

Freddy Hodder now guests in place of Dan Thompson who has Covid

Been to about 4 F1 stockcar meetings and 10 speedway meetings at Sheffield, in the last couple of years. The crowds have always been similar but there has always been more at the stockcar meetings, didn’t go to the play off final, which I would guess would be more than the average stockcar meeting

Yes but only for the pit crews, not for the general public

Travelling over for this before hopefully Leicester tonight, any update on the weather, I see Belle Vue haven’t put a preview up which is kind of worrying me, that it might be in doubt?

Surprised they didn't call the meeting off for that!
