Correct, my mistake I did mean fail a breath test.

Phil Is it procedure to take a blood sample if riders fail a blood test, a subsequent properly taken blood test would quickly either clear or determine a riders intoxication.

TBH I doubt many miss because it's PL, a fair bit is down to the Tuesday race night and I dare say a weaker team now doesn't help. Panthers fans were used to some regular success but nothing now for the best part of a decade has also played its part. Cost is undoubtably another, speedway is a £10 sport not a £15 to £17 one. If the racing was generally good, reasonably priced and we had a clear set of rules that were adhered too and fairly administered I think a lot more people would attend. At the end of the day people want entertainment on the track not meetings ruined by poor track prep, poor teams or crap refereeing.

A friend trackside told me the track has dried so well today they are now watering it.

Didn't have a lot of trouble at your place

I was told Jacobs was very disappointed to be dropped by the Panthers, I think its fair having seen Dilger ride now most of the Panthers fans are pretty disappointed he was dropped as well.

Which begs the question why they didn't mention it when releasing him, but at the end of the day he could only ride in one meeting and if not Peterborough we could have had a guest.

We have run RR since May so I don't see another month making too much difference and won 2 matches away using it, Hall is currently averaging 3 pts a match from his 2 home matches so far, We likely wouldn't have lost twice at home with RR. JACOBS commitment at Mildenhall was never mentioned, the official line was they didn't want to burn him out, clearly that's a real concern as he signed for Workington within 48 hours.

Roynon for Blackbird accepted, they could have kept Fisher in the team and continued with RR, that would have meant Bjerre, Ostergaard, Dryml and most likely Roynon would be taking rides currently filled by Hall with the likelihood of at least 7 or 8 points per meeting, Hall wont get anywhere near that. Not convinced Dilger for Jacobs was worth the change either.

Horton, Swales, Johnson and Rathbone obviously thought so.

Can you amend that to just Peterborough Management, I doubt many Panthers supporters think that.

KURTZ has a broken arm apparently and ALLEN bruising, Somerset appear to think ALLEN will be ok for this match, we will see.

I wouldn't bet against it

Unfortunately this is a Horley decision and they can sometimes be very strange, she once awarded a rider second place in a race at Peterborough and at the time of the announcement the same rider was being interviewed by the meeting presenter in the pits. Bloody clueless springs to mind

A chance - you clearly didn't see how bad Hall was

Ryan Sullivan said exactly the same when he rode, very wise.

No his speciality is Knickers.

Talking of Weirdo,s Glover, haven't seen you much at the Showground this year, perhaps I will BUMP into you at Rye on the 14th Sep

Judging by the posts on hear and the boro forums you are not alone.

I agree with most of that but Blackbird is better than ROYNON this year. Lol

Good post and perhaps it's time we let the powers that be know enough is enough. To be fair the principle of boycotting matches with Poole is sound but falling attendances throughout the sport over the last few years should be getting the message across that things have to change.

I take it you meant to say Bratters, Batters is what Somerset did to Rye House the other night

Very true Again very true The reason we couldn't run regular Friday meetings was the Showground, if they hadn't stopped us I doubt we would have changed race night GP's or not.

I wonder who told you that
