Depends what your definition of year is and what's our future ambition? Success for me would be a return to the more important (as it stands ATM, without the 2017 AGM to take place and knacker things up) and relevant southern section. Looks like a big ask if the title and promotion play-off success is the solution.

With the thread about to drop off the page (until now) my guess would be the second option.

That was the one of the few upsides of lower level speedway: losing brum from our, or any come to that, threads. He's like my dog, will always come back for the last bark.

Thought that was stevebrum.

It may have morphed into that in what you saw but the facts are right. As for the spelling, it's not a phrase we use down our way too often due to the brick houses, but you obviously use it a lot getting supplies at your local DIY. I didn't take much notice with a quick c&p at near 11pm. However, the correct facts and spelling: [4th Yorkshireman:] Well, when I say ‘house’ it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us. [2nd Yorkshireman:] We were evicted from our hole in the ground; we ‘ad to go and live in a lake. [3rd Yorkshireman:] You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in the shoebox in the middle of the road. [1st Yorkshireman:] Cardboard box? [3rd Yorkshireman:] Aye. [1st Yorkshireman:] You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank (that's Taps' house next to your hole in the ground). And back on topic, can't say that the northern championship interests me too much. I think Panthers made the wrong choice, and given the southern bias and weakening of what was the EL I'd have prefered that re-badged model. However, Rathbone and Swales thought different, so be it!

Oh, and how could we forget you May the Yuletide log slip from your fire and burn your house down (Well when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to baldyman).

Indeed. And Season's Greetings to you Taps: I trust Christmas brings to you its traditional mix of good food and violent stomach cramp.

Neither has he but in the current climate he should keep his other hobbies to himself.

Grab a chair and some popcorn!

Depends how long you've been going. If it's 20 years then yes I'm surprised that you're surprised.

Or PE7Panther in this case.

I know you don't spell "special" with a "ho"! We're not educating them, we're luring them in! To those who can't spell, it won't matter.They'll just come and see what's special.But there are numerous clever dicks who will feel obliged to post and tell us how to spell!

Doesn't seem to have been much of a secret tbh so I wouldn't call anyone who knew that a know it all by any stretch of the imagination.

Hence if riders don't hit the ground running or get there pretty quickly then there can't be any fannying about, as is traditionally Panthers strategy until it's too late, although Rathbone does seem a bit more pro-active than those who preceded him. Would have been better to stick last year though but that's a different story. If we get it wrong this year then those soon to be announced record season ticket sales will be needed at the end of July.

What bit of "No team changes will be permitted in either league after July 31." don't you understand?

They've got 3 months tops so no pressure.

It's been a management team for years now, the blame is shared equally so as to be non specific.

Unfortunately he fell for a lot of that in 5 years, hence a lot of expense and empty trophy cabinet despite everything initially (after he'd balanced the books to be fair) being in place for success. It doesn't matter what MH told him, RF only had to search the ET website for a bit of background information on what happens during such a tenure.. Basic stuff really to save a similar article, and almost disaster yet again, a few months later!

Point is what was Frost doing letting him in in the first place. Everyone else knew how it would end, again .....

We did when the supremo was in post. You could hardly see to stand up for the National Anthem.

So much for the drip feed. The only thing to fill the next 3 months news is admission price, season ticket value and working out a figure for the annual increase in sales. "Lots" is always the safest bet! edit: Oh forgot, and drivel (banter as they like to call it!) from Suffolk mainly

What was decided weeks ago.

You and taps smelling the diesel and eating dung before polluting our thread is just another drawback of choosing the northern championship for 2017.

Ever tried online scrabble?
