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.

And here we have the two sides of the coin: when it's your track it's "The track was a racers track and was there to be raced, for those that were actually prepared to attack it and race!", but when you get that as a visitor it turns into a ploughed field. We don't do ploughed field any more, so my money's on slick one line after not too long. Whether that turns out to be good remains to be seen.

Don't forget to tell him that Peterborough's midweek home meetings start 7.30pm (for everyone else, it's 3pm )

You're thinking of the fans. Everyone else likes a slick one liner.

Just need to look in the right place.

Well that's not too bad then considering. However, given those incidents come with the territory, it's important to get on with it when there isn't an incident. That rarely happens these days and consequently when there is an incident then that waffle and wasteful time suddenly becomes an issue. Given that Lambert is just back from a nasty injury, it was his first away league meeting and it sounds a bit like Wacky Races with self preservation the main objective for the visitors, I'd give him a break. At the end of the day, what he scores when in the main body of the team is a bonus, the better riders should be scoring the big points.

Standard comment these days. When will promoters ever learn? I'd allow an efficiently run 90 mins though as the standard. 60 mins is too tight.

Don't know what you're looking at but Monday is fine.

Don't know who told you that but if they offer advice again then I'd ignore it.

Oops
