  1. Apart from the taking it or leaving it since 2013.
  2. He's often there. Those latrines don't clean themselves y'know!
  3. If I was you I'd be more concerned if there were bad vibes but there aren't any that I know of, and the club is in a better place than when the supremo left at this time last year. Assuming that Rick and Julie still own the club then the final decision is theirs, although any decisions will have been made by now.
  4. If he's got a stormer in him then it'll have to be Friday. But looking at yesterday we're stuffed.
  5. I don't think that it has been any better or any worse tbh. The only thing that has excited me this year is Anders Thomsen: now he does look a talent so will be too big for us now and will be offski & uspski. If the feel-good factor has returned it's nothing IMO to do with the PL. It's returned because Rathbone is good at what he does, is good at communicating with fans at the right level and the riders are encouraged and happy to interact with those fans, plus we have a team at the right end of the table who made the play-offs. That's nothing that couldn't have been done before but we had what appeared to be a distant promotion who were uncomfortable communicating at the fans level, and there was a distinct lack of interaction between riders and fans, especially from the team's much maligned permanent figurehead, plus it was only at the end that of our EL tenure that we had a potent winning team. For 2016 Rob Lyon sort of gave the game away when he said they sort of know what the structure is next year (or something like that, just needing to be rubber stamped at the AGM?) so you suspect that it's more of the same for Panthers if the club owner (we assume that he still is) is happy for the present arrangement to continue? It's not for me as I can take it or leave it since 2013, but if it works for the club then so be it. Better that than lose the magnificent EoES track and facilities to speedway.
  6. I prefer the Matt Ford strategy of riders who score points, speaking generally of course and not what might happen in 2016.
  7. So when do we see two confirmed teams listed, or have I missed it?
  8. I thought that the asset system died a couple of years ago: "Swindon co-promoter Gary Patchett is refusing to buy Hans Andersen or Troy Batchelor and admitted “the asset system stands on the verge of collapse.” - I assume that it's recovered and that it was only in trouble at the time because it involved Panthers.
  9. Did ok least time that there was a tractor convoy down the A14: Rohan Tungate 2, 3, 3, 2, 0, 1 = 11 Read more: speedwayupdates/peterborough-ipswich-pl 12/6/15 It got a bit hot in the last two but he isn't meeting Kurtz, King and the Ostrich tomorrow, and Cooke apart, he can beat the rest at a track he can race on, so thankfully he's not riding at Foxhole.
  10. As he's owned by the sponsor I'm sure that can be arranged.
  11. Considering that many people have thought that it's ridiculous and said so throughout the season then it's not unreasonable that hansfan read it wrong, if indeed he did. Given the context and your posts on the page I'd have come to the same conclusion (but then again I am paranoid). My English teacher always used to bang on about the abc of effective communication, I think that you need to focus on the c to avoid possible paranoia in future.
  12. Correct although this doesn't help matters: "The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones in your hand around the area of your wrist"
  13. If he has broken it then it's one of the bones of the wrist: Scaphoid Wrist Fracture He'd be unwise and unlikely to ride with that but a red herring it indeed could be: cutting the cast off indeed
  14. It's no worse than those denying that there was a problem when there cleary was. And yes a solution was found when push came to shove, but with a bit of seemingly missing cooperation and negotiation, all of the handbags could have been avoided and there would have been nothing to whinge about.
  15. If Thomsen removes the cast on his wrist (seems unwise and unlikely to me) to ride then the last thing he'll need is six rides.
  16. It's Parkinson's Law of Sunday speedway whereby the meeting will fill the time available. The first consideration is that you and I may be organised and get there in good time, but as with any big club meeting, start time will depend on the disorganised still queuing outside. The second is any stoppages invoke the "plenty of time it's Sunday" level of urgency, as does the general running come to that. That would have missed the weekly curfew by 10 mins which tells you a lot. Too answer the question though: 7.40 is excessive and 7pm should be more realistic. It looks like everything needs to work like clockwork for you and only you can decide if you want to take the risk? I always thought that Neil Watson was a non de plume
  17. I didn't like that bit Neil if you're reading. This is the man who said: "Personal comments/remarks are not necessary thank you ... "
  18. I agree but it was a bit more than a slide off. He went over the low side to the right and bounced. That hurts. Read that but where is it confirmed?
