Firstly it isn't going to happen, and secondly, are you saying that Bacon doesn't give 100?

it's too (oh, and That's)

Been reading the Porky Parry book of predicting I see!

Fair point but not a lot of sympathy tbh. Should have seen that potential conflict (if it exists) in the first place. They have a bloke, Bratley, virtually living on site (unless he's moved) who could have quite easily picked that up. I don't know if they considered that or approached him.

The exclusion was announced as for going onto the centre green (another stupid rule given the action Well's (just rounding the tapes) took in the circumstances). Did the ref request it or did Overland just announce it? Just another case of communication problems, that's where speedway is amateur. You're right about the tapes though, they did seem to have a mind of their own. Wells should have just rolled into them, it's a good bet that they would have gone up on one side negating the need to go around them!

Thought it was all going fine until the air fence got wrecked. It was a much slicker operation until then, all the more surprising considering Horley was in charge but fair play to her for keeping things moving. Much like a 1/2 hour delay isn't really acceptable when someone falls off not too heavily and sustains a minor injury, waiting that length of time for an air bag also isn't acceptable. It may have not been a straightforward fix but that's why there's a bloke standing there with a roving mic, to communicate outside of thanking us for (and testing) our patience.

Entry via usual turnstiles!

Looking at most of the reserves at this level, and with improved confidence of winning races I don't think that he'd be far off. That's the trouble with strength in depth. You need everyone to perform but they rarely do. If you build the team with a few race winners then the lesser lights often get dragged along with the momentum. It's a bit late to be questioning that now anyway. I'm not a great fan of Whoosh posts but will make a rare exception here!

Lambert's a yo-yo rider. He'll do ok at reserve and struggle in the main body of the team. That's his level. I'd stick with him, he'll score when he drops. Bacon is the concern. Low on confidence and going backwards despite leading the field in the PB Today picture!

I remember this though for the U21s: So that's 40 extra minutes for one extra heat and a bit more messing about given the nature of the respective events. I'd say that 9 - 9.15 latest should be the objective. Oh, and that's not a dig at you Dick. Speedway generally and Peterbough far too often, takes too long to run meetings when you break it down to the nuts and bolts of a minute a race.

Whereas many don't like Sunday speedway, especially if it's around 4.30pm start. I'm sure 7pm isn't by choice. There is a 10-4 event at the EoES which says "Set within the spacious Peterborough Arena, spend a leisurely Sunday browsing" - that's not going to be so leisurely with 500cc bikes roaring in the background. Will be a good opportunity to hone our efficency and get the main meeting (no idea if there's anything after) done in 2 hours, ie. by 9pm

Indeed. I've just read the posts here and still can't work out what the problem is.

Thought my idea was better tbh . It would give more importance to his track shop waffle if he could say that cans of Mr Sheen are available in team colours for a Red and Black Attack of your dirty stand seat. To be fair though, like most things the EoES no longer care I guess as nothing else of importance goes on at the Showground these days and it's another add on that Rathbone doesn't need to deal with.

Apart from the effort of cleaning your seat or clothes from dirty seats. We're missing a sponsorsip opportunity here. We could contact the Reckitt Benckiser Group plc to sponsor us with tins of Mr Sheen, which co-incidentally is an Australian invention, much like most of what's been good about Peterborough Speedway.

Who said anything about dangerous? It's not very wide up there and it's an access route. It's also not like other options are limited. It's the complete non problem,

Added to the fact that there was nobody standing at the back then that's a pretty good indicator that standing there is a bit of an issue now. The knowledge and communication skills of the staff shouldn't really need to be tested if people just think for themselves a bit in the first place. That's not to say that iainb doesn't have a point. We've all met the jobsworth type, but this really wasn't worth the excitable initial post.

I thought that there were signs at the back of the stand?

From the tone of that I doubt that you'd be sympathetic under any circumstances.

Despite my previous post, it's hard not to bite on this one. When anyone from Norfolk or Suffolk visits it's best to go on the slick side of good, because having just left the middle of nowhere they do like a ploughed field analogy to remind them of home so it's best to play safe.

For some

Local paper often calls them the Phantoms (local ice dancing team) so I wouldn't worry about it. Technically we were the Pirates until Readypower jacked in both.

Fair point on the last bit I agree, but a grippy Peterborough track that is there to be attacked all too easily becomes a convenient ploughed field these days.
