Or a certain three?

Why was Cook selling advertising space he knew he couldn't deliver on? I wonder what his current sponsors think about him walking away from the top league - less exposure for them now, presume they expected to appear on BT sport?

The BSPA have confirmed arrangements for the 2019 Premiership Supporters’ Cup. The competition replaces the top flight’s Knockout Cup this season and enables fans to have a direct influence on meetings, by voting for riders to take part in heat 14. The voting will take place via each club’s official Twitter feed and enables both supporters and team managers to be involved in the process. Following heat 10 of each fixture in the competition, the team managers will provide the names of four of their riders for the heat 14 vote and these will appear as a poll on the Twitter feed of the respective clubs, allowing supporters to vote for their preferred representatives in the race. The polls will be open for 15 minutes, and the top two riders from each team in the poll will compete in heat 14. These riders, along with the riders for heat 15, will be announced following heat 13. It should be noted that riders who compete in heat 14 cannot also compete in heat 15. It will be the team managers’ decision whether to leave certain riders out of the heat 14 poll should they wish to be certain of their availability for heat 15. The format of the competition sees the Premiership clubs divided into two groups, with the winner of each group progressing to a two-legged final. Races prior to heat 14 will be run under the old 13-heat format. Group 1: Belle Vue (@TheAces), Peterborough (@PboroPanthers), Wolverhampton (@WolvesSpeedway) Group 2: Ipswich (@ipswichspeedway), King’s Lynn (@KLSpeedway), Poole (@poolespeedway), Swindon (@SwindonSpeedway) https://ipswichwitches.co/fan-vote-confirmed-in-supporters-cup/

Carl Johnson confirmed as co promoter

Finally he speaks... https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway/panthers/buster-buys-two-clubs-because-of-a-huge-love-for-speedway-1-8857967

Peterborough Wednesday March 27. The club’s official introduction takes place at 11am followed by the team photograph session led by media representatives. It is then hoped to have the riders on track by 2pm.Boss Carl Johnson said: “Everyone is welcome and it would be nice to see a good turnout although we realise it may not be possible for those who will be at work.“Food and refreshment will be available from one of the catering outlets at the Arena and the team will receive their official 2019 Panthers race suit.“This will be the very first opportunity to see the new Panthers team ahead of our return to top division racing. I’m very excited by the months ahead.”

Just seen the Ipswich fixture after the fours has now been put back a week - was 24th June, now 1st July.

No they haven't.

2 night minimum stay, so is available if you stay both Friday & Saturday night. IMHO there are better options than this anyway.

I think it's pretty obvious that Carl will step up as co-promoter.

Just the Championship Fours on Sunday 23rd June.

Peterborough had away kit once - it was predominantly black & the home kit red. 2002?

The future of Peterborough Panthers never looks bright after any season. The end of 2019 will be no different and we'll see the usual shall we/shan't that we see every year.

T Balfe no longer team sponsors

What on earth are they promoting because it sure ain't speedway?

Crikey that's brave. If just 10 people take you up on this and you are proved wrong then you stand to lose £500.

Well played FIM, they were just biding their time.

We were told Bomber would be in the team - he isn't We were told Ged & Neil are staying - they aren't We were told Buster is the owner.... Let's see

Colin Pratt new promoter

I'm sure I read somewhere that it is to do with the Welsh government funding and the contract states that Cardiff is the only GP in Britain. I might be wrong though.

*different

Didn't please Ged & Neil though did it?

Totally agree, handled dreadfully. Do they honestly think the supporters are that stupid? They should have just told the truth, I think most would have accepted that or at least appreciated the honesty. It's been a very damaging episode - a PR disaster at the time when they should have been pushing season tickets & attracting sponsors, all the positivity has been undone & it looks very much like we have lost Ged.

Tungate confirmed

Don't forget the NSS infamous opening night disaster
