Well someone will have the no1 jacket because there has to be one but it's just a mix of were once but never will be again, along with the never will be anyway and the usual wouldn't put any money of any of them to win a race that mattered.

Panthers in the brown stuff in the big heats, if they are still in the contest at that point, but less stewards needed as they can close of half the stand

How inconsiderate. Panthers have their big first signing on Friday and they'll already be firefighting if that's the case.

Doesn't matter either way. The days of enough people giving a fig are long gone and unlikely to return. It's a question of scale and expectaion I guess and neither are particularly high so it is what it is.

When you're seemingly making up the numbers, rudderless with an indeterminate shelf life then it's 3 with a hint of 4.

Under normal circumstances much of that isn't known when STs are offered anyway but most fans have confidence that management will put out a decent side and it will come on the back of an ok season. Not sure that the first applies and it's coming on the back of season so bad that many will not have experienced anything like it.

Convenience, free parking and programme for those who'll go irrespective of the state of our sport these days at the EoES. I take the point though and justification for the hard core to take up the offer these days must be difficult.

Good news about the new sponsors as well.

Would it? Talk is cheap and always has been. At this stage of his career he'll go where the money and opportunity is. I'm sure that last year taught him that this isn't the Horton or Frost Panthers that provided both with him in the past. The mentalist is probably just being the idiot that he is but nothing would surprise me (apart from Panthers signing a top liner) at the EoES these days.

Good to see that fixed race nights have done the trick by upping the quality, profile and returning of some of the top liners!

It's all sounding really positive: making up the numbers with an indeterminate shelf life, a perceived small budget and it's unclear who does what? Hopefully it all becomes clearer in the coming weeks and there is a more positive outlook, as long as we don't ask Godfrey for advice of course!

Although some bad decisions led us to our current destination so I wouldn't totally agree with that terminology.

Well that's the season ticket press release done

Tungate has said similar as you'd expect them all to do but the real situation, irrespective of what they say now, is: “I’m open to offers about racing in England in 2020 but I guess we are all waiting for the conference when they will determine the points limit and new rules.”

And they would say: " Those were the days. Right, let's crack on! ".

Same as kissing the badge on a football shirt. All it means is that they can coordinate their hand and lips into a single action. Give them a better deal elsewhere and they'll be kissing a new badge before you can say Ron Micklethwaite.

It's all she said, he said and a bit boring now though. We only need to bother about where we go from here and forget (or at least not keep trying to make sense of it) about events around this time last year. Chapman said in Aug: "We have made mistakes along the way but they are honest mistakes and we will try to learn from them" - so after a dogs dinner of a season lets hope that statement is correct, as it is when Johnson says "No-one wants to finish bottom of the table and, as I promised the fans at the end of our final home meeting against Wolverhampton, we’ll be doing all we can to get into the play-offs next year."

Easier just to re-register and I'll approve

Back up and running Rodders.

Beware mentalists with 2 posts Rodders

With. I wish no harm to Rodders but we're both like a dog with a bone when we're not happy about something

Rodders, you're begining to sound like a bungee jump.

Must stop lateral thinking

Certainly is if he gets out of the gate but misses it with alarming regularity. Get that sorted and worth another punt but look elsewhere if that's a permanent fault.
