Didn't want to go there for being accused of looking for a story which isn't there but it was noticed and not in ironic terms

More a case of thank you Torun and Jack Holder I would have thought. Without Holdergate it would have been same as irrespective.

The EoES administration have seemingly been difficult for years and I doubt that any promotion has been to blame for the fixture problems and things ticked over fine and regularly until the biggest upheaval in around 2002. Neil and Mick Horton unfortunately got the worst of it: "Panthers have been denied regular race nights by their landlords at the East of England Showground and Horton insists the prospects are bleak unless things change immediately. Horton added: "I totally sympathise with the fans. People can't afford to attend two-or-three meetings a week which is the scenario they have been faced with because of the difficulties we have trying to get suitable dates from the Showground." peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway-support-us-or-lose-us-warns-beleagured-panthers-chief 24/6/2004 Prior to that Friday night was speedway night and there were few fixture issues from March to October so I think that you're being harsh there. Speedway itself never knows what it's doing year on year until late.

It's not exactly a confidence builder though Neil when the most basic info is wrong. However, I just noticed that the BSPA site has finally corrected the league structure in "What is speedway" so it's about a 12 month turnaround for accurate info I guess, or when it's pointed out. As for Peterborough Today and our website, I think that it's all been said.

Championship KOC 2nd round - Ipswich v Lakeside or Peterborough Sunday 15 July PETERBOROUGH PANTHERS v IPSWICH WITCHES/LAKESIDE HAMMERS (H) 5pm KO Cup certainly got me confused

It is the solution to poor organisation and avoiding the end of season fixture pile up. They just can't seem to grasp that speedway is a summer sport and that's when fans consistently want to watch meetings. They can't organise that so the solution is to do less and to encourage supporters to find other interests, not twigging that they may choose those interests first in future

Sometimes I wonder why I have people on ignore but they always clarify the situation at some point.

Think you missed the 2007 bit when he was one of the best in the world. It's just a general article that has always made me chuckle from someone who seemed to be the subject of 2 or 3 newspaper articles weekly in self promotion during that time. It does not relate to Andersen now but was in response to Tesar's sensitive rider post.

The words "mathematically possible" already seen coming over the horizon before a wheel is turned.

Just follow the Hans Andersen philosophy: "I HAVE been made aware of certain rumours doing the rounds on the internet. I have got better things to do with my life than bother about what people are writing on internet forums. From personal experience I know how much nonsense and tripe appears on these sites. They are full of garbage and you can waste your life sitting reading it (minor edit from 2007)"

And she's not happy about it

Wealthy OAP's no longer use such establishments, they get their staff to purchase the books while running errands in the town.

Surely during dead time (or if there are any tracks lucky enough not having to suffer the bloody roving pit mic) the OAPs will surely be reading extracts from Warren Buffett's Investing & Life Lessons on How to Get Rich to the poor people standing beside and around them

Very clever use of the word "their" when we really know that it's an enquiry for yourself

Glasgow seem to have gone the same way: "In 2018 Standard adult tickets have also been reduced to £17, with the removal of concession pricing. Club co-owner Gerry Facenna explains: “It’s not a decision we have taken lightly. We already have a lot of over 65’s who pay for a full price ticket as they can afford it and know the club is losing money. We’re extremely grateful to our fans, they understand the situation at the club and have the club’s best interest at heart.” " In 2018, kids under 12 go free at Glasgow Tigers! Alongside this, student prices have been reduced to £10 for those with a valid student ID card. These steps have been taken in the hope that it will encourage the next generation of speedway fans here in Glasgow and maintain the legacy of the sport for years to come. " So short term numbers don't mean too much, it's whether there is a long term increase and these freebies and reductions return as paying regulars over the next decade or longer? All other tracks seem to offer concessins in 2018 which tells you what you need to know perhaps?

Or when you take into accout that it's a think tank:

That made me laugh as well. It's like when they quote the average wage, I always think, I wish!! I've worked a long time, and still have years to go, and at the end of it will have a work pension and state pension of some description (was contracted out for part) but both together fall well short of 20k. Certainly not as much as when working so I'll be happy for my concession without having to be means tested at the turnstile to get it.

I tend to wind people up but not on a wind up no. I've said before that if Rathbone did receive a phone call from Poland and told them that we can't speak to you then that's where it should have stopped. The fact is that he asked for and was allegedly advised that the benefit of doing something "dodgy" outweighed the slap on the wrist that he might get so it was worth the risk. The action does still make Rathbone the main culprit (and he was punished for it) but what would you have done? You have bills to pay and a high ranking official advises that you'll make more than you'll lose from the deal whilst getting minor grief from the powers that be for transgressing the rules.

The SCB didn't say that it was an opinion: "The panel also recommended no further action taken against Mr Rathbone, but the advice given by Mr Godfrey was both ill chosen and in Breach of Speedway Regulation 3.2.7." Rathbone asked for advice from a senior BSPA official regarding speedway's rules, so to plead ignorance when the brown stuff hits the fan because technically they are not our rules really is clutching at straws.

Can you smell that? What is that? Sheep is it? It's cows? No, no, I know what it is. It's bull****!

He allegedly didn't say not to do it though, in fact far from it it would seem. You'd expect someone in authority to make it quite clear that there is no grey area here. The rules say that you can't do it and that's my advice. If you do anything else then you get everything that you deserve. That is in the best interests of British Speedway, not the wishy washy conversation Godfrey and Rathbone apparently had.

Were they? Would Holder and Rathbone (well Rathbone anyway) have taken that course of action if Godfrey hadn't given the green light.

Website has a link saying get your season ticket now, and if you follow that there is no indication of any deadline so seems like communication problems? The same applies if you follow the news item - if my mate goes for one then he usually doesn't bother until last minute so that'll be an interesting conversation if he gets the same message as you.

What was the rush. Can't see any time limit mentioned and if you were iffy then you'd surely hang fire given those signed. The only reason to purchase early if you're going anyway, especially if a couple (one ST), is to get free car parking and programme.
