Yes there would be a ban - Nicki would be deemed to be withholding his services and get a 28 day ban along with a 28 day facility granted to Peterborough. With regards your second point, this is what pi$$es me off so much with British speedway promotions. Everybody is well aware Nicki has left yet you hear nothing from the club who treat their supporters like muppets. Almost straight away they should have come out and said “Nicki has left and we are working on our options” instead of the silent treatment which makes the whole situation worse. It will be embarrassing tomorrow and have such a worse effect when he isn’t there, especially after banging in 18 points last night in Poland. I try not to compare football to speedway but there is no way this sort of situation goes on. You only have to look at the recent scenarios with Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester with their managers. All 3 confirmed a departure right away and said they would be working on replacements and will update in due course. Communication with your fan base is so important nowadays.

I'd be stunned if you ever see them pair in a Buster team. I don't think any other club owner would after that night either, and rightly so imho.

Buster owns the club, he sees value in it. Pay what he wants or deal with what you're getting. The problem for you guys (and absolutely get the upset) is some Billy Bigbollox sold the fans a pipe-dream then didn't hold to his end of the bargain. The only way to remove Buster at no cost is find a track outside a 10 mile radius of the current club & become a totally different name. Buster isn't your problem

Disagree. We all can see he still does well in Poland, it’s the age old problem of what he’d put in here isn’t it. Would you be confident that he’d be giving it 100% in every race and every meeting here like Jason Doyle does for example? I certainly wouldn’t. He may only have done half a lap here but even in that he was left for dead by Doyle and Erik Riss! That’s not exclusive to Pedersen either btw, I’d have the same concerns if Lambert, Dudek etc etc agreed to come over. It keeps getting said over and over, but that’s why Jason Doyle is worth his weight in Platinum over here. He’s pretty much a one off unfortunately when it comes to GP riders.

No booing whatsoever. Poole fans clapped the opposition at the beginning and Scott Nicholls got a cheer from the Poole fans as he is held in high esteem. Didn’t hear a single boo all night.

It is because the only professionals in the sport (in the UK) are the riders... The rest are well intentioned amateurs doing their best to appear professional, but often without the necessary skill set required to carry off the tasks they have been asked to do/volunteered to do.. The professional marketing of the sport as a collective, rather than going it alone at each club in a small way, and the governance of the sport through the use of a credible operating model, is, sadly, a huge opportunity never taken up by those "well meaning amatuers". Hence, being insular, working in secret, and deep mistrust is often the reputation earned in the opinion of many of it's current, fanbase, and (probably more importantly), its ex fanbase, who still follow the sport closely...

Just to confirm, Gladiators TV will be streaming all Plymouth home matches either side of the BSN streams, EXCEPT for this coming Tues and the following Tues meetings. so Plymouth vs Poole and Plymouth vs Oxford BSN Series are not being Live Streamed. All other home meetings in 2023 will be live streamed.

Someone needs to pay what he wants for the club then ain't they, rather than playing 'Fantasy Speedway' & hoodwinking the fanbase? But it's all Buster's fault ya know

Not my favourite either.But he is Box Office,he is still a100% effort.

I blame Poole.

It's just a shame that this is our final season at the showground and what should have been a celebration of over 50 years of Peterborough speedway has turned out to be so farcical and controversial The supporters have been left in the dark for many months now about possible takeovers and team building for the new season, which they do not deserve. Someone please have the decency to tell us now what is going on with Pedersen. The club has the best supporters in the country. Don't treat them like mugs !

And to think it was almost gone this winter. What a boring Easter Sunday it would've been without the derby

Creates for good entertainment, nobody can come away today and say they weren’t. Good racing, hard racing and a bit of handbags.

Just to clarify, it was on the exit of turn two, and Ben was on the outside. What Craig is saying bears no resemblance to what happened. It was a tough move, he deserved to get excluded, although Ben surely knew that was what Craig would do. I'm guessing they weren't the best of friends last year, having seen that. Of course, because it's Craig, it naturally created a lot of aggro, and because it was on Ben, I think that particularly made it worse. He's such a fabulous rider, but he really is his own worst enemy. The tweet makes it sound like he planned to put him in the fence though, which whether he did or not, it'd be a bad look if he didn't get a ban. Not what I want to see, but you just can't let people say things like that. It's a dangerous enough sport as it is. Lost in all of that was Kyle Bickley crashing straight into Ben's bike and going for a horrible tumble. I was glad to see him walk away from that, because he was just collateral.

What a plank. Makes a change for him not to be doing the hitting I guess.

That's embarrassing. Grow up honestly

Why is this in thread in the big boys league. Lol

Same here. I didn't notice any booing, but even if there was, so what? Part of the fun, surely.

Poole v Leicester Jubilee Trophy Final? Any idea when this is going to be run??

Ehh ??? Recover from what. ? Plus he’s not a panther anymore so what does it matter

We have made an early decision to postpone Monday’s Premiership fixture against Leicester at the East of England Arena. The forecast has been monitored throughout today and the situation hasn’t changed.

More time for Nicki to recover.

They are not going to say anything until people have paid their entrance fee on Monday weather permitting.

Told Nicki is riding.

We have had one meeting and we are talking about weak links deary me . they should give them at least six meetings then we will have a better idea. Ace will progress as the season unfolds and he gains confidence.

Hopefully a huge Glasgow win...

Feeder club lol think both Pboro and Lynn are feeder clubs for each other they basically use the same group of riders each season - definitely Buster should sell one or the other both clubs would benefit from a sale and include Alitt as a Pboro asset lol

No Lynn and Peterborough cocked team building up, now what's the common denominator here?

He is, but he's not better than Worrall who you want him in for. I find the dislike towards Worrall odd from the Panthers fans.

Only worth buying if we have a guaranteed future after this season. Another dreadful season in store for KL and Peterborough, Dreadful decision making in the winter has already led to both clubs needing new riders. KL will get dragged down with us the longer Buster stays, More Jorgensen and budget sides that aren't up to scratch at Lynn with no play-off Speedway so KL fans should be siding with Tomalin purely due to the fact that it will benefit KL in the long run.

Why are you replying to yourself?

Season over???? Tai is more interested in bashing British Speedway rather than competing in it, Lambert has already made it known that he wants to focus on Poland and the GP's. Buster has to leave the club if this isn't our last season in the Sport, If he would've signed Holder then none of this would be happening right now.

Good to have Nicki Pedersen back. He is just great !

Under the circumstances Berwick can be very proud of their efforts tonight.

We have a few spanners on the management team.

What do you mean becoming

The post you quote doesn't say "blue methanol " it says a "blue" methanol additive, which i assume means an additive which besides any supposed benefits adds a blue hue to the fuel.

I still boo anyone in an Edinburgh race suit . I really should grow up.

Yep it is pretty childish just makes the next meeting more interesting now though. I find it hard to get upset at this though as he brought a lot to Glasgow during his time here. I am sure Ben will not be giving a sh*t .

A PR disaster to be honest- far better to be totally open and transparent rather than trying to pull the wool over fans eyes - fans ain’t stupid they can see what’s going on

Agree.could be repercussions with these kind of comments.

6+2 for KK in Poland today, that's all Lynn need him to do.

To be fair to the club. It’s not pedersen calling the shots here. His polish club have been pretty harsh on him and left him with a decision to make, and it’s a no brainer for him to leave pboro with what his polish club are willing to do. If he hadn’t have crashed we wouldn’t even be having this discussion and all would be well, unfortunately it’s speedway and Poland rule the roost

My bet a press release later today saying the club made an early decision to call tomorrow nights meeting off as the weather forecast is rain all day so to save fans the journey we’ve made the decision early . Happy Easter to all our loyal fans

Opinions are like arse holes. We all them. It's fine to disagree. That's what a forum is all about .

He's better than 000

And I went to Western rd school in Mitcham near Phipps Bridge and had a lot of school mates who lived there. So was often there and had no trouble at all. Also the other week when back visiting my parents ended up getting off the tram there and walking via Abbey Mills back home. It was dead, apart from talking to a poor young guy who had lost a leg and was in one of those little vehicles for disabled people. I just asked him if he needed help navigating the barriers. He was ok,but we had a little talk on the way to the road. Nothing threatening at all, and never have I experienced anything from the 70s til now

can’t see Marcin either no riders out there really to change complin with when marcin and claus get new averages and the team ave goes up as can’t see any other riders ave drop you wouldn’t redeclare back to 42 so unless someone gets injured can’t see any changes really

A bit unfair of your review on Nowak as he only rode in 3 away tracks in 2021, granted he did nothing at Berwick or Edinburgh, but they are traditionally difficult tracks for newcomers, he got 5+1 at Poole, he also had only his Polish engine which is too strong for UK tracks, this season he has brought his own equipment and engines will not be tuned to Polish tracks, I don't expect him to get double figures away from home but he should at least get a couple of points away from home, lets face it , no-one expected him to win heat 8, I think he will do well at a couple of tracks, might struggle at Plymouth and Berwick but will more than make up for it at home
