old news as well.

To be fair to them though, they saved the club from a dire position in 2008 and it's still going, albeit not as they found it. If 2015 never happened after a dire season with the supremo then I'd agree to some extent with your comment. They've moved on as most such people do after a few years. Bad choice of location but just another poor decision in terms of considering how some supporters would react?

Probably not, FP is special needs so wouldn't wish that on you.

PETERBOROUGH have launched a search for a major backer for the 2016 season. Current title sponsors Readypower have notified club bosses they will not be extending their deal for next term. That leaves a golden opportunity for a new title sponsor to step in and put their name to the ambitious Panthers brand. Promoter Ged Rathbone is adamant good times lie ahead with the club determined to build on their fine run to the semi-finals of the Premier League play-offs last season. Rathbone said: "We thank Readypower for their support which proved to be very valuable during 2015. "They have chosen not to renew the partnership and we are now working hard on new sponsorship leads. "We are looking for a company to put their name to a team which I believe will again be capable of challenging for honours in 2016. "In return we offer plentiful local and national exposure, and a hell of a lot of excitement along the way."

I see your dad thinks that funny which seriously questions his abilty to judge humour but does explain where your lack of charm and personality came from

It'd need to be someone else's though because you don't know yours do you

Is that the official source for news now?

Oh that's brilliant

Source?

I found this one: Ernie: Des O' Connor is a self-made man Eric: I think it's very good of him to take the blame reminded me of you for some reason

Eric 'I've just bought Des O'Connor's new album' Ernie 'Where from?' Eric 'Boots the chemist' Ernie 'Did you need a prescription?' Eric 'I had to go to the poison counter' I hear that Newcastle speedway will be playing it throughout 2016

Who rattled your cage? Got anything relevant to add? Because in terms of dross, nothing compares to you (apart from Jenga of course).

Peterborough is an EL set up (although I admit that the EL of today is a millions miles from Elite and the alleged top level still needs to seriously sort itself out) and I still hope that our current owners or new owners will return us from whence we came in the not too distant future. PL speedway amongst Sunday drivers does nothing for me, well PL full stop come to that, and the former is not compatible with that objective. I can take it or leave it which wasn't the case until the last couple of seasons. Perhaps I've done my speedway supporting time all fallen out of love with the sport at domestic level? If where we are is the ambition the club now has then so be it if it balances the finances and works for those concerned, attendance isn't compulsory is it. Living in the past it may be but 2013 isn't exactly ancient history and it's still an open wound which has had salt scattered on it on various occasions since then. It just will not heal. However, you can't move forward if you don't exist so credit to Rathbone & Swales for keeping the show on the road through troubled times. Peterborough Speedway is there for those who want it which is the main thing, and the fact that the sport still has one of its best set ups in operation shouldn't be underestimated. Well you did ask!

"Rathbone also reiterated on a number of occasions that important meetings lie ahead with their East of England Showground landlords and the club owners. The suggestion is that significantly more Sunday meetings could feature in the 2016 schedule" (peterboroughtoday/speedway/speedway-the-weird-world-of-a-peterborough-panthers-fans-forum) Long way between suggestion and reality, hopefully a long long way.

Well he could pay us back for years of dross when the two time EL champions lowered their sights to keep him in work. I'm sure that there will be a mix so you can make up for my likely non attendance and vice versa for Friday.

I feel quite left out and hurt Tel (although I have had one of those on WWoS ) Nobody ever PMs me in that way these days, not since Bratters moved on anyway

Cheek, that's flyinpanther's brain scan.

Nice to be call a Youf again innit Tel, the memory just about stretches back. The music at the EoES is fine, it's the Ronco mic and the constant interruptions that are the problem

Jeez, with waffle like that Tel you could get a job with a roving mic I've saved the relevant bit that requires action

Excellent Sunday listening.

Jethro Tull What do I win (and don't say a 2016 season ticket)

In a sort of come and see what you could have won sort of way!

A tenuous comparison if ever there was one

Well you better hope that Rathbone, the team manager and the assistant to the team manager can keep Bjerre sweet because team spirit didn't allegedly seem to be a strong point previously. Can't see him dropping down tbh as I'd have thought that he still has ambition, but then again there might be a bigger picture here?

Wouldn't say that it's a big downside but it is a good point. We're only talking small numbers here so perhaps it is time for more flexibilty and thinking outside the box. It might increase sales and, as you say, introduce new supporters?
