Go on then I'll start it.

At least 4 new riders 

OK 4 new riders but WHERE will they be racing is what we want to know?

Have been informed that 3 current panthers riders have asked to ride for Lynn next season. 
basso,Harris and MPT. If that’s the case I’m guessing 3 from Lynn will come the other way. 
Lawson. Jorgensen. Maybe NKI or klindt if they ride in uk next year 

I'd happily take Lawson for MPT. Lawson rides our place very well.

I wouldn't be bothered about losing Harris because he's got a 0% of maintaining his average next season imo.

Basso would be a blow but he can easily be replaced if we can snap up a track specialist like Ryan Douglas.

Reading the statement this morning, call me a cynic, but what exactly does "use of the grandstand and track" mean? As that term is used specifically a number of times, the devil is in the detail and I'm wondering what this is actually going to mean?

Ive heard that Bagpuss, Bald Bloke and Tellboy have asked to become Peterborough fans next season , maybe BassoRacingFan, TTT and Flappy will go the other way after all its silly season start time for Peterborough :D

I don't go very often any more but I'd gladly watch my speedway at the EoES, love the place, always have. Just need to get that outside line working better.

Their was talk recently that the owners were wanting to knock the grandstand down, latest news suggests that’s been put on hold, for now.

What would a swap solve? Happy to lose Harris tbh not so Basso. MPT meh but he's barely ridden this year. 

Wouldn't surprise me if Iversen rode for panthers again for sure

Keep: Basso and Jenkins

Not Fussed either way: Harris, MPT

Ditch: Hans, Ully and Scotty

Who I'd like to see: Douglas, King, Lawson

I'd expect Douglas will be dependent on Wolves being able to retain Becker and Morris if that's the way they go.

Becker was very late in signing this season

Unfortunately I think I’m in dream world when I say this but I’d like Harris basso and Pickering, not fussed about the others, they’ve been crap this season. Jenkins has had a real good go and arguably has thrown his name into the mix. Nicholls has had it this year he’s been terrible so has Hans, and I’m sick of this love affair with ulrich, get him gone don’t need him. Douglas would also be a good shout. And Kenneth Bjerre if he can be tempted back too work with rob Lyon. Who knows I think it’ll be a long winter ahead

If it's 7 new riders so be it. 

Riders like Douglas, King, Basso, Pickering and even Cook are on averages which I think would improve around Peterborough regularly. 

Would also be nice to see a proper number 1 around the place again given it's our last year at the showground I hope we don't persist with the like of Ostergaard and Andersen again

I’m glad it’s not just me that’s had enough of ostergaard. Was an okay rider at championship level, yes he did well at the start of last season in the reserve berth but this season he’s been found out and just isn’t good enough I’m afraid.

Its a difficult one, with nothing concrete for 2024, would a rider choose Peterborough for one season over another club who have a more secure future? Obviously averages fit so riders will be available but feel on a first choice basis it won't be Peterborough unless sentiment plays a role

I'd go with a side such as

1. Harris

2. Ostegaard

3. Lawson

4. Basso

5. Iversen

6. Allen

7. Jenkins
