but then again, spot the preview difference (it was close to being accurate " Panthers track an unchanged line-up" - unchanged alphabetically then ): PETERBOROUGH: Tom Bacon, Emil Grondal, Simon Lambert, Nike Lunna, Scott Nicholls, Ulrich Ostergaard, Michael Palm Toft. IPSWICH: Nico Covatti, Michael Haertel, Cameron Heeps, Danyon Hume, Danny King, Connor Mountain, Rory Schlein. Ipswich: 1. Danny King 8.87 © 2. Michael Härtel 5.20 3. Rory Schlein 8.58 4. Cameron Heeps 6.93 5. Nico Covatti 7.49 6. Connor Mountain 3.33 7. Danyon Hume 2.00. Peterborough: 1. Scott Nicholls 9.73 2. Emil Grondal 5.04 3. Nike Lunna 5.90 4. Michael Palm Toft 6.77 5. Ulrich Ostergaard 7.12 6. Tom Bacon 2.67 7. Simon Lambert 4.56 ©.

I assume that you mean just Peterborough because most other tracks that had efficient communications were quite happy to list the programmed line ups in race order.

Well speed hasn't increased. I see Ippo website already has a full preview up and they're the away side Ipswich: 1. Danny King 8.87 © 2. Michael Härtel 5.20 3. Rory Schlein 8.58 4. Cameron Heeps 6.93 5. Nico Covatti 7.49 6. Connor Mountain 3.33 7. Danyon Hume 2.00. Peterborough: 1. Scott Nicholls 9.73 2. Emil Grondal 5.04 3. Nike Lunna 5.90 4. Michael Palm Toft 6.77 5. Ulrich Ostergaard 7.12 6. Tom Bacon 2.67 7. Simon Lambert 4.56 ©.

True on both counts.

Teams from! - why We know the order from Sunday and that'll not change much and the Ippo line up for Fri (on their website as it always is) should be similar if not the same. (yes it is a constant whinge I know)

Talking of drips, another cracking contribution

Bit of a rip off to pay to watch someone so far off the pace that the only question is which 3 pointless rides they take. That's not Bowtell's fault, it has applied and will apply to plenty of other riders (Panthers included). It's the structure that allows it that's wrong.

Bacon & Grondal @ 1&2 is a bit weak.

"I am passionate about defending British Speedway. This is a major blow to the sport in the UK and the blame is very firmly at the door of Kings Lynn Speedway."

Yes, who was in charge at that time?

Indeed. Point still stands though, although as a Peterborough fan I'm used to slim pickings in the summer.

Summer sport, summer break - problem number one!

Been around for a while and difficult to get rid of, much like a deposit on the shoe. I blame the management team for not moving up last year because we'd have hopefully lost him then. Downside is that we'd have gained stevebrum but at least he's reasonably intelligent!

Another rib gone. I'm down to my last one!

That's got to be a joke surely. That's surely the no1 not to do and anyone at Peterborough should know that.

There's always only one and it usually sits in the middle of the supposed two options given.

Not true. The TV has a volume option but the roving mic never breaks down although it can be anything from quiet as a mouse to loud and booming.

A noble starting point but one would hope that the club's ambition is somewhat more progressive than that. That view sounds more like a recipe for demise rather than the annual continuation of any sorts that you're happy with.

Well I hope that he's got fellow promoter friends with similar spirit because I imagine that the hardliners are less than happy and plotting to get even (3-0 can become 3-3 very quickly in Speedway World). It'll go one of two ways so one of us will be right.

That speaks for itself really. I was just looking for the positive in the example and that's the best that I could come up with.

The mantra always was riders who want to ride for the club and riders who would improve their average. They've probably met the first part for 2018 but have seemingly been unable to overall meet the second criteria.

In isolation that's all Peterborough may have gained but since Holdergate the BSPA haven't been allowed to run in their usual unnacountable self interest manner, so in the longer term Rathbone's fights might benefit everybody.

Reminds me of this infamous quote: " Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once." - obviously in totally different context but I'm sure that Rathbone will have to be on his guard for a good while yet.

Your problem Rodders is that you don't fully appreciate the complex issues facing promoters at this moment in time or what a very delicate issue this was, not withstanding the top level talks required to mutually agree interpretation of new 2018 regulations/guidelines.

That's got to be the best paragraph of self-glorification one could wish to read.
