Crump99

Great number 92 and takes us back to your previous post: IT doesn’t get any better than 1992. Panthers won the lot - the Division Two title, the KO Cup and the Four-Team Tournament at the Showground. A new promotion, headed by Peter Oakes and James Easter, swept into the Showground during the winter. They quickly assembled a new-look side, only Aussie ace Stephen Davies remaining from the misery of ‘91. He was appointed captain of a team featuring popular Mick Poole, Paul Whittaker, Mark Blackbird, Rob Colquhoun and Paul Hurry. An unknown 16 year-old by the name of Jason Crump filled a reserve berth. It did get better though in 1999

Why would you want to whinge.

Worth sounding out then.

Should be a cracker. Oh hang on, I forgot, this is speedway's equivalent of a broken pencil.

Something usually turns up but it appeared bloody close to not doing so last time.

As Dick said, it's all a bit pointless anyway until we know what mess the powers that be ratify at the AGM. Added to that, until Rathbone decides, if he hasn't already, then we could be PL, EL or the owners could knock on the head if they can't find a buyer or someone to rent the rented operation.

Please stop, one only has so many ribs y'know.

Not got a lot going for it then.

Maybe, but it's time and place and the way that you say it. It failed on all counts: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.”

idiot.

What an horrendous prospect. It's enough to bring one to tears,

I'm not even going to go there, and haven't in the past, even out of curiosity but thanks anyway for the warning!

Rather knock it on the head tbh.

You can have all the team spirit you want but it the riders are not up to the job it means jack! We've had apparent excellent team spirit for the last decade but won naff all. If the team is winning then team spirit will follow, whatever 7 are out there that week. Getting team selection right as possible from the off is also preferable I agree but is something else that we haven't got right in a decade.

What does it matter if a club goes through 50 riders. It's a business and numbers game and everyone knows that.

It was season over last Friday. The faithful have been clutching at straws since then.

We want to give the paying public two full sides and an exciting evening for their hard earned. We appreciate that down Ippo way after a hard day in the tractor cab a win is the only objective against whatever the opposition can cobble together.

And if you have a bit of bad luck, 6 instead of 7 is a right dogs' dinner.

I hardly think one looney on the BSF makes any difference to the situation. As for it not being concerned about the injured riders, it was safe to assume that they were feeling second hand but not seriously injured, hence the 1/2 hour wait between the incident and heat 15 completing. It could not have completed if the doctor was attending to seriously injured riders.

So you don't know outside of your logical solution, isn't that what I said.

Interviews by Tarzan usually bring me to tears so I have some sympathy for Ged. I think that the music played by the Age UK DJ we employed for the evening probably tipped him over the edge. In reality I think that he did what he thought would work and is really gutted that it didn't; it's clearly affected him and it was the wrong time and place to discuss why it went wrong . I'm not particularly a Carl Johnson fan (but then again I don't like anybody ) but fair play to him for taking to the mic and giving a good speech for the troops who hadn't already gone home!

When logic was questioned I was always told that you don't know what goes on in the pits

Going to be known as Poole Fitness First Pirates in 2017 allegedly. When have Panthers ever made a profit? 2006 I guess is the only time in the last 16 or so years? It needs Rathbone's PR skills, Frost type finance and Ford type rider selection. And it still needs a lot of work even then.

Muscle injury to the leg I think with nothing broken was what Tarzan reported?

Ford has him pencilled in for the 2017 Pilates.
