What a meeting, some very good racing a great atmosphere and Panthers take it at the Death. Terrible bad luck to Danny King & Ipswich and losing a top rider in both legs was very cruel. Thankfully none of that bad luck was down to the Panthers. It was clear BWD wasn’t fit but he clearly just wanted to give it a go, everyone else chipped in at some stage with a good ride. Fantastic evening.

Of course he will.

Looking for a 2018 berth I hear.

I don’t know for sure but if rides Foxhall as well as Alwalton he won’t be any worse than anyone else.

Trouble is when you start looking at 6-7 pointers for a no 1, Panthers probably would get the same or more from Harris, Ostergaard and Starke and another.

It was likely to be Nicholls but the BSPA ruled that Holders score in his last league match on the 13th doesn’t count until next Monday so he rides in place of Schlein instead, shame because it’s undoubtedly going to hit the attendance as I doubt many Panthers fans will now travel. The Panthers management have tried a lot of riders, most have packed up and returned home, some are ill or injured and it’s probably just better to give Harris, Starke and Ostergaard the extra rides, at least we know they will try which is more than I can say over some of our expensive guests recently have done.

I must admit I had a wry smile when the announcer said the person could have been ejected, yeah right like that was going to happen.

What a result, well done boys.

Trouble is with the SCB and the BSPA is they are not consistent, some clubs lead a charmed life others get jumped on from a great height.

Post 210

If they have the appropriate sick notes no problem, if they havent then I am sure Peterborough will be declined any facility. As for being too honest I believe Rathbone made no great secret of the chain of events leading up to Holder riding for Torun and they absoloutly shafted him. Jake Knight was another who told the truth and got a ban.

Holder ill and RR for him, Campton guests for BWD and Wallinger rides at 7.

No that’s unfortunate but it’s not those 5 that’s raising the concern is it , it’s Perks gone home to Australia and Andersen gone on holiday My understanding is riders are contracted until the 31st October. It’s clear Redcar haven’t reported either rider for withholding services otherwise they would have appropriate facilities rather than NL 6 pointers. As a lot of the Redcar supporters are saying “they won’t be going”

Fairly but you can never say for sure, to be fair not too many thought Ipswich would beat Sheffield in the semis.

And of course it’s letting down the paying public which was another point levelled at Peterborough. You cannot have it both ways.

No grapes needed just consistency, all teams treated the same. Bit like riders missing shared events, seems ok for Lambert but not for Cook.

Doesn’t really help with the 22nd then

Not on FIM duty GP isn’t until 27th/28th, he cannot even claim travelling as he is already there.

So as I understand it Redcar’s team includes 6 guests 2 of which are NL riders and RR for Charles Wright. Perks has returned to Australia and Andersen to Sweden and both are missing with the full permission of the Redcar management. It will be interesting to see what the BSPA/SCB make of this bearing in mind of the fuss they made of just one rider missing from the Peterborough team recently.

What’s better is how can Ipswich use RR for a rider that’s fully fit to race, on his admission.

Oh yeah it was changed It used to be Fridays & Sundays Now it’s Sundays & Fridays

Have you tried emailing the club, or the Barbers who run our trackshop.

Because Godfrey is unlikely to meet his pay requirements

Well clearly at some point it was sanctioned, otherwise we wouldn’t have been allowed to use him, it’s the constant jumping through hoops that’s starting to grate, same with Harris this year but of course everyone then had no problem using him as a guest. You don’t know the half of it.

Friends in high places, just out of interest has he ever rode in a BSPA shared event.
