Transparency and stickabilty, not usually attributes of our sport so we await Neil's speedy response.

We're used to that (well some of us). When Frost was in charge we regularly had two tractors going round. It's not a problem if the meeting is run efficiently and it does away with the interval because it provides a natural break (in fact 4 or more) for people to sort themselves out. Problem being at that time was that neither of those things happened and tractor racing was just another gripe to add to the list when it didn't need to be.

I refer you to the two previous answers from my learned colleagues.

Wasn't expecting much and you didn't disappoint

Who are P/Bora anyway

It just needs to be efficiently and consistently run. Remember when Sky were in town, apart from the introduction and 5 minutes + wait for the first race, that was generally how to do it. Now at the EoES we can see how BT compares as a guage. Thankfully Trees isn't in charge of presentation at our place

Quality response from the customer service department

And kids hanging on the fence for high 5s on the victory lap before presentation and atmosphere went to pot and Mercer arrived and he and the H&S looneys got a grip.

Never mind, next year then God willing. As for plain english: "There is no truth in the rumour that Peterborough speedway will be sold before the season starts. Ged and I will be in charge throughout 2019 under current ownership and the team will be as named subject to BSPA ratification as previously indicated." That's as plain as it gets for me and meets my approval. You've said your piece though so that's the end of that

Probably a reaction to you offering season greetings to Rodders after the grief he gives you whereas I didn't even get a card

Not the most convincing post that I've ever read. I'm a plain english man myself and that's stumbled over the finishing line

If it got up a real head of steam then he might respond (but for such big issues it's odds against) or there might be some reference elsewhere from management but we're some way from that as it stands. A couple of people who think that they know something is just chip paper atm!

And the source of this rumour is?

And some people just think that you throw together the rubbish that you generally post? Don't stop going your own way with some second hand news!

Need a bit more than one nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more squire, post. I'd heard the same but that's as far as it goes during the silly season. Always thought that it would have been good for the Balfe Motorsport Team to have an ownership dabble in the world of shark infested custard. It'd be good publicity in theory!

Dunno. Who said that there's a takeover proposed?

You're irritating but don't yet have the special talent to warrant the ignore fuction.

Not very subtle but accurate!

Do keep up or be original:

Here's a quiz question: When was the last time Panthers fans saw the quote "it’s a team we wanted" and actually thought that they'd settle for that without question as well? It's over a decade at least but management have cracked it this time

Ah it's good to be back although missing Totally Honest John already but didn't manage to shake off Taps who is now in fact a step brother of sorts (Not a favourite Brother of course, Lord no, more of an illegitimate backstairs sprog) Back on topic indeed: I'd agree with that. I just hope that the presentation and atmosphere improves because it has been pretty dire and flat for a while now. To get people in midweek at increased cost means that it has to be better. As Rathbone said: “We know it’s important that we step up in other areas too, and we want to further improve the whole race-night experience for everyone next year." - I suggest that he bends the ear of Bratley (especially) & Andersen.

Did they say that? There were natural concerns about how someone owning the best part of half of the league would work in practice. In Peterborough's case they have not materialised but it's not 2019 yet and a wheel hasn't been turned so don't get ahead of yourself.

Some berk with a roving mic breaking the atmos with another exciting interview or other useless information, that usually does it so should be ok for 3 or 4 months. Also, at that time, failure to enact new end of race procedure of chequered flag finished waving, stand lights on There, you've broke that positive cycle already

Steady on! The options would be very limited given my restricted vocabulary and we're all positive and on expectation suppressing medication at the moment anyway
