But in these days of technology it only takes a couple of clicks and it's done - if Sky have why on earth hadn't Kings Lynn? If it was the club's call they knew first didn't they?

For those who are useless at anagrams (like me) could someone list the team line-ups please? Thank you. -

I watched on my IPad using hotel's wifi while on holiday in Cyprus and the quality was brilliant. Very impressed. -
Yes I knew you were - had just read the item re NBJ on Panthers website so thought I would post Ged's quote as he was also being discussed.

Peterborough V Ipswich 28th March 2pm
maneacat replied to ZODIAK's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Think they usually use the large animal sheds and the new Arena Centre plus grounds on that side of the Showground - doubt they need the speedway track or the grandstand but it is a very large event that would be much more difficult to cancel if there are problems. Hate afternoon meetings myself so hopefully this will be rearranged for a much more suitable time and date. -

This East of England Showground Contractors nothing to do with The Club. Expect they need to get the work completed asap due to their own busy schedule due at this time of year. Noticed at Ulrich's meeting there were trenches and bits marked for digging up all over the site which is huge for anyone who has not been. Lost count of how many portable generators I saw throughout the Showground as I walked from the car park to the grandstand so not surprised by this at all. -
With such a crucial and public deadline for completion of this project I would be very interested to know what Penalty Clauses were in the contracts. A stadium of this size and value would surely have been under the legal contracts drawn up by fully qualified Construction Lawyers - this should not have been allowed to happen and definitely needs investigation as to why it went so badly wrong.

Peterborough V Ipswich 28th March 2pm
maneacat replied to ZODIAK's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No I never rated him either but he totally won me (and many others) over with his racing, effort, dedication to Panthers and won Rider of the Year for a very good reason. Whether there is any improvement in him remains to be seen but he looked good at P & P and at Ulrich's Testimonial so far this season. As for your throat I very much doubt you will be troubled by soreness but probably best to pack a pack of Strepsils just in case 😉 -

Just wondering if you have actually seen Simon Lambert racing at the Eoes - the only way Grondal will be taking one of Simon's rides is going to need a unique set of circumstances: 1). Simon to have a nightmare meeting with machinery problems 2). Simon to withdraw injured 3). Emil to have an absolute stormer of a meeting (can see him having one for Perry if it's tight but as for the rest of the team only where necessary due to E/F or withdrawals. -
Boring or not - that is only a matter of opinion (not mine I always attend Peterborough's as do many others including the seasons during Mick Horton's tenure and everyone is made welcome) and certainly not reason enough to keep fans locked out who would like to attend and have done previously for many years. It gives the impression the Stars promotion has something to hide and leaves the fans who would usually go feeling undervalued as supporters. It makes no sense what reason can there be to exclude fans who are interested enough to want to make the effort to go?
-
I think that is worse than having no Press Day at all - whatever it is and whatever they wish to call it WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE PRIVATE? Another snub to the Stars long suffering fans in my opinion!
-
Is there any news on Simon this morning?
-
Am I right in thinking he is Lewis Blackbird's cousin?
-
That was my understanding of Panther2006's post - and most others on here I imagine so well said.
-
The Club's website shows 2/12/15 as the date Simon was announced in the 2016 team - within a few days the Lewis Kerr situation occurred following Lynn's change of race day announcement so it is my guess that Lambert was signed with the thinking he would be unlikely to be in an EL team for 2016 as most had their 6/7 positions filled. However I will be very surprised if he is replaced before the first set of averages are out at the earliest. Although now not an ideal situation I cannot imagine that there has not been discussion/agreement/ between the parties before Simon signed for the Stars. I think both clubs are important to him and he certainly showed last year his dedication to Panthers but as KL hold his contract he would quite naturally be keen to ride there also. It would be good to hear GED/Carl's thoughts on this as well as Simon himself but I suppose that's unlikely.

Can you share a link please to this information as I seem to have missed it - don't do Twitter by the way is that the source? Thanks. -
Fours Festival Weekend
maneacat replied to Sings4Speedway's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
So far so good but what about the camping weekend prices? I can't see anything about this anywhere. Does that include caravans and motor homes - ie: Truckfest etc. We used to be able to book to arrive Friday stay till Monday so is this going to be the same. -
Fours Festival Weekend
maneacat replied to Sings4Speedway's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yes the pricing of this is going to be interesting and the track will hopefully be able to cope unless we suffer a heatwave that weekend. But as for the campsite - really can't see that being a problem at all as the EoES regularly cater for thousands over many weekends throughout the summer months and are very experienced at organising this. -
I for one am relieved it's not KB - I would rather have Porsing who can't possibly be any less of a team player and is a young rider with a lot of potential than "on the slippery slope Bjerre" but agree with others its just a shame we didn't use all the points available. Looking back to last season apart from Cookie one of the best riders I saw at the EoEs had a lower average than some other teams No. 1's - Brady Kurtz. Fingers crossed we have pulled two rabbits out of the hat ie: Porsing and NBJ.
-
Hopefully not - this is supposed to be the top level of a professional Motorsport not a Primary school rounders competition!
-
Yes I am aware of that but I was enquiring as to the rules in force in the EL in relation to Polish riders.
-
Am I correct in thinking it's different for Polish riders riding in the EL and if so any idea why that is?
-
Yes I had seen the posts on Facebook and that's why I thought I would ask on here as no one on there seemed to have a clue what was going on. Sounds like it's all happened very suddenly and unexpected to committee members and fans alike.

Anyone know what's going on with the Supporters Club? Emergency AGM arranged for 22nd Dec at the EoES.
