Ladies and gentlemen, the Facebook happy clappers who refuse to believe anything is wrong with Peterborough Panthers: "Good result for Leicester who have clearly got themselves dialed into their track."

Don't forget "You're a troll for your negative comment"

What a sorry state of affairs for Peterborough in what is their last season. I wonder how happy the Facebook pom-pom crew are tonight

Who are the dreadful commentators on BBC Cambridgeshire? They are utterly clueless and have any excuse for a loss. ';The track hasn't been good for the boys tonight'' No, the boys haven't been good enough... again.

It really must be so frustrating for Rob Lyon doing this week in week out. How deflating. Panthers are an embarrassment from head to toe, and it starts from the very top.

The mind boggles it really does. Are they actively trying to end the sport in the UK?

That is absolutely gutting for Joe. He has had a terrible season with the way he’s been treated by clubs and now this. Kid can’t catch a break.

Panthers new number one is doing well I see… (Iversen). just as we expected, the change has made them weaker but it’s good to see Tarasenko amongst the points. It’s a shame the issue is still with the rest of the team.

Poor Erik Riss being forced to cover a number 1 position straight after coming back from injury. Wolves will hit 60.

Careful with your opinions guys. I just got attacked and removed from a group by the deluded happy clappers for laughing at the fact Iversen at 1 makes us weaker

Niels Kristian Iversen is now number one.

I will not believe a word that man says after the way he spoke to me.

Are these changes ever getting announced?

To be honest, I’d persevere with Klindt if it means Laguta at 1, he may fare a little better away from #1. although based on KK’s sudden illness I think it’s fair to say he is the one making way.

Iversen at one? lmao

Glad to see Ben Cook in such good form. The only saving grace from this season so far.

God what a clown show

They are so far out of touch it is unreal. The only abuse that’s been dished it has come from their side. As I said to Johnson… when you are in a position of management… arguing with your fans on social media with comments like your own has made themselves and the Panthers look incredibly poor. These people are those who have kept the club afloat the past two years. An absolutely disgusting way to treat the paying customers, It’s clear to see PR hasn’t been covered in training staff members.

Carl Johnson: “everyone has an opinion….as we see very often with keyboard warriors. But does there opinion give them the right to run any club ? If they are that bothered about what happens inside a club why don’t they get involved with helping the clubs and not hindering any possibility of a future ? Why on earth would people want to put all the time they do into clubs for nothing but abuse from so called supporters ?”

“seems to me we are down to two absolute plonkers time to make a difference pal” Cheers MT. Yet more great comments! They certainly won’t be getting a single penny from me ever again.

A group called “Speedway Friends” on Facebook.

Another one from Carl Johnson and quite possibly the worst comment yet: “It’s simple, instead of slagging clubs off get down and help them survive….but I forgot your £22 a week runs a club. I’m sure you have put all your efforts into helping your local tracks survive over the years.” What a way to speak to your paying supporters. Basically saying even our £22 isn’t good enough! What are these clowns on?

Here’s another one from the Peterborough promotion team with yet more “I am great and you are bad” attitude. Carl Johnson: “It makes me sick to the back teeth with so called supporters of speedway, especially so called Peterborough supporters. I’ve been involved in this club pretty much all my life and never taken anything out of this club, I’ve put in hundreds of thousands of hours to be involved in this club and the work that everyone does behind the scenes by proper Peterborough supporters is amazing and without them we wouldn’t have a club now. We as a promotion appreciate everyone that turns up week in and week out to watch and pay with their hard earned money and again without them we wouldn’t have a club. Don’t you think we are trying to save the future of the club ? We have already said we have identified 2 potential plots of land to move too in the future. Dale work his arse off to get speedway at the Showground this season so loyal supporters could at least have a final season. Everyone knows the situation at the Showground and we are not big enough to stop a £50 million development from going ahead, things are very sensitive with the Showground contract and who knows what happens after October this year. Michael Tomalin is a main sponsor but not a promoter of the club and the decision on colour change wasn’t down to his investment as we have stated in the past if you have cared to listen and to the reasons why this happened. We cannot help the reasoning into why Nikki left the club when he did, and we as a management team are trying, and have been trying to secure a rider for that position but if the riders don’t want to come to the uk then please tell me with all your so called knowledge what we do ? You bash the club but I never see you at the track helping to keep this great club alive, you pay your money on the gate but want your say in what happens to the club, if your all so vocal why not get yourselves together and form a committee dedicated to saving Peterborough speedway rather than bashing it ? Why do you want everyone else to do the hard yards for someone else to criticise that decision…I’m sure you all think we sit here and don’t worry about the situation we are in, do we want the club to close ? NO do we want to be in the position we are in the league ? NO can we help it at the present moment ? Not really….City Auction Group ( Michael Tomalin) and Crendon timber ( John Clarke) have funded this club for a few seasons now and never questioned anything, they have supportive in every way and understand the current situation. If you so called Peterborough fans don’t like it then do something about it, don’t just say we pay our money so we are entitled to have our say put some effort in to helping save the club or at least help when we need it…your not there putting up air fences or taking them down or in the winter replacing fence panels or painting , your not there sweeping the pits or cleaning the stands, your not there with your hand in the toilet cleaning it. No your sat at home on your keyboard waiting to bash someone or something else. If you want this club to survive quit moaning and bashing it and support it like you claim you do. I expect to see all you club bashers on Monday evening.” Sadly there are many delusional sheep rushing to the defence of the shocking attitude of the Peterborough promotion team. It all reinforces the point, “put up or shut up”. Expect no changes and a season without a single league point folks because in their eyes they are GREAT!

Another one for you: ”if we relied on a handful of comments and not the long term supporters and team that work every week to make a considerable difference I would, the riders and management are working hard to make a difference be sure of that”

The words of Tomalin who just replied to my comment on Facebook: “I’m here watching your comments. We go again my friend and support our team” So basically in the promoter’s words we put up with it then. Clown.
