There are still a few heat sponsorships available. But at least 2/3rds are gone. I'll probably need to be careful not to big up Monarchs (too much) on mine!! Anything to help keep peterborough going though.

Well I have booked my heat sponsorship so I'm doing my bit!! Just need to sort out some not too offensive wording!!

So the fours would have to run in October?

But panthers started the season with a decent team.......

Don't announce who's in each race and see if they notice!!

Assets mean nothing other than loan fees. It's where the rider wants to race that is important and who is offering the best real.

Staying with Peterborough hopefully.

Why would one be out? Just moving one up the main 5.

No.

Has the track changed in 50+ years? Is that Ivan Crozier?!!

I hope you put that team out. Should guarantee us the Premier Shield!!

Season tickets include programme & parking. Concession price is 200 pounds. So 15 matches puts you ahead for concessions but 17 for full payers. All assuming the prices stay at 15 and 10. Kids tickets are 75 pounds - don't know the age limit. Bit of chicken & egg situation here. Without our commitment they won't be at the AGM. But some will not commit till they know what's from the AGM.

Well I think I might take a season ticket. As a smug Monarchs supporter I am always happy to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Means I should be able to get admission when the Mighty Monarchs come visiting again and the place is so full they will be turning people away. Put me down for one!

But the championees had 3 in the top 10 (top 8 actually)!!

I would ask Paulco and Gazc their opinions!!

Need a decent reserve if Aaron comes back. Can't expect him to score big away yet. Joe might be a big risk, as might Kevin. Glad it's not my job!

Deffo should be more Brits in the team, or at least uk residents. Best way to get real team spirit going.

Interesting - thanks.

What was the gist of it? Stay or go?

Fish & Osty please - total entertainment value! And they can beat anyone round the showground.

So are the awards only based on the last month?

Interesting to see that Sam Masters is on 8.22 the same as Lawson. Would have Sam 365 days of the year ahead of Lawson. But I sincerely hope Sam stays at Edinburgh!

Dunno - they didn't say. Hope it is Sunday.

Not sure about that. They did say they had been approached by loads of riders wanting to sign for next season. They can't all be bad!! Heard Lawson's name mentioned by a few people. Maybe it was William though!!

Good turn out. Decent meeting with a fair amount of openness from the 2 guys. Rathbone seems a decent kind of bloke. Good news about PL again - Fridays not so great given my traffic issues getting there but I'll cope!! Hope there are a few Sundays thrown in for off nights. An amount of negativity from a few but generally there was a positive approach especially after they said they were only interested in the future not the past. Slightly confused about the money aspect though. They need £8.5k per meeting to cover costs but were only taking £6.5k this year BUT they don't need any of the donations/sponsors etc to cover week to week running costs? So do the figures only work if another 150-200 turn up every week? The £40k they need to get going - is this every year or a one-off? But other than that they were about as open as they could be I suppose. Hopefully they have done enough. I'm happy to give them another few quid even though they are not my team.
