Yes two of his businesses, City auction group, and Purplerock sponsored the Panthers team for their meeting at Mildenhall on Saturday 25th Oct, and I imagine they will be heavily involved if and when the Panthers return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did indeed. Things are looking a bit better than they did. Fingers crossed the Panthers do return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 Aren't we all getting a bit ahead of ourselves here? Have the showground owners made any comments about their next move or anything about reopening the showground as an events facility? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted November 1 Report Share Posted November 1 (edited) How much is it going to cost to bring the Showground back? I get the feeling that you wouldn't get much change from £100,000. And how long would it take? Edited November 1 by LagutaRacingFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can take some pity on us? 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Sounds like The Showground could be an option for 2026 if things can fall into place quickly, a lot of work to be done but not impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Only problem time is running out. And if lots of work is required in a short space of time, lots of money will be required, something the group may not have. For a 1st season back basic facilities only are needed, standing room, portaloos, speaker and air fence and electric for speedway stuff, then can build back up as time and money allows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjcone44 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago no that is the speedway standard 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) My interpretation of that statement is that it is a negotiating tactic. They clearly want more money to host speedway again. Sounds like the door is open for speedway. The Panthers need somebody with financial backing.
