Peterborough Panthers 2023
Daniel Smith replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You're right there, the Panthers are we we -
The results around Monmore are pretty much written off for every club. No need for any King's Lynn fan to panic from this. Most of us predict King's Lynn to finish bottom so getting 34 is 4 better than I thought.

Your Worst Rain-off Experiences
Daniel Smith replied to TonyMac's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I can't totally remember the away team as I suffer PTSD from it but I think it was King's Lynn vs Lakeside. It had been raining heavy an hour before tapes up so track work was needed & the meeting didn't start until around 8.30pm. The meeting should never of even started but was rushed to try & make it to heat 10. After heat 9 it poured down again & got abandoned. Worst of all was it felt like the promotion didn't give a shiny s#!te for the fans. Should never of started, awful 9 heats then getting offered £1 off & a free cuppa next meeting just really took the p!ss. It was the meeting that 'broke the camels back' for me, being a 'Diehard' attending fan. Tried a few meetings after but the King's Lynn vs Poole farce 2017 just totally ended attending again there & then. -
Some rider's ain't even worthy of a 'farwell' meeting in my opinion. For me, only 'The Greats' should get it, genuine servants to club, country or league. I would make it rule that: Rider testimonials: To have ridden for 1 club for 10 seasons (being an asset excluded). Farewell meetings: Ridden British Premiership or Championship 15 seasons consecutively. To have ridden for 1 club for 10+ seasons (being an asset excluded). Given service to the Great Britain National team for 7 seasons+

Peterborough Panthers 2023
Daniel Smith replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I do think that year on year Buster is losing touch on how to run a Speedway club, more dangerously, how to prepare a Speedway track. The downsides to all that is are there the right people to take the clubs he owns forward correctly or worse, anyone to take them on at all. For Peterborough, it's concerning that this Tomlin guy comes across as a bit of a gimp. Billy Big Bollox had a lot to say in the off season but failed to stump up the dosh for the running of the club. This guy got Peterborough fans jumping for joy in the off season only for them to be where they are now, only having Pedersen & Basso to look forward to watching. If Pedersen does fail to return (who would blame him) & the colateral isn't available for a replacement, the blame isn't on the current owner imo. Fans should look at Billy Big Bollox, he's the guy that's let you down in 2023. -

Emil Sayfutdinov and Co bring in the crowds?
Daniel Smith replied to Phil's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The only way the Premiership can keep an uplift in crowds is to have Ekstraliga rider's on alternative seasons, money the problem though. If Sayfutdinov rides next year his pull drops as everyone has had their fix. Next year they need to try a Laguta, then the next year a Lindgren, then a Zmarzlik, so on & so on. As I said, it won't happen as money isn't available. -
Emil Sayfutdinov and Co bring in the crowds?
Daniel Smith replied to Phil's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The issue was twofold for many as to why they walked away. Not just the standard of top flight rider's dropping but also the increased admission fees. As for increased gates because of Emil & Co, it's only a short-term boost, doesn't really add much to clubs profit margins at all. -
Any bets on Pedersen not returning to Peterborough for the rest of the season?? I'm pretty sure his Polish club will be having words in his ear after tonight.

Don't think he meant they'd end up dead

Think I'll hold off for later in the season. I just can't get my head around £22

Sheffield -V- Belle Vue 23rd March
Daniel Smith replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Does look like the RS reduction (25%) isn't 'team building only' but at the same time it's not that much of an advantage as his new average will kick in after 3 home /away fixtures & his existing Rolling Average still counts. Brennan will need to be really bad to remain at reserve. -
Because he's a 'so last year' type of rider bruv

Ipswich vs Peterborough 23rd march
Daniel Smith replied to Gasser90's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Let's hope they're good at reading the situation & doesn't go straight to spam or in the trash. Could be a long long unread season for Ipswich if the correct punctuation isn't up to scratch. -

It's very obvious why bikers don't follow Speedway. There's no relevance to the real world except they have two wheels. Other bike sports you can pretty much buy similar out a shop & use day to day.

Nah, he's not for me. I've seen Heeps get round better than that at his heaviest. Emil's a reserve at best, you heard it here first

Embarrassed to be an Ipswich rider he had to cover up the logo. Clear evidence of just 'taking a wage' Tin pot club

As I understood it, if a rider's choice is to compete in the Premiership outside of the 'Rising Star' system they then cannot go back in to it in following seasons. May be wrong though

There have been lots of questions over many year why British riders fail to establish team spots in the British top flight. Even the Championship has a high number of foreign rider's, which in turn see many British riders 'stuck' in the 3rd tier. As a thought, should we have stringent restrictions, i.e. Foreign Rider's; ° All GP rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 8.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° SEC / SGP / SWC rider's with 3yrs+ experience should automatically be 7.00+ (including Brits -25%) ° New rider's to the BPL are automatically 4.50 & can never be below. ° Rider's over 25 are automatically 6.00 & can never be below. For Championship, add 1 point, excluding SGP rider's with 3yrs SGP experience within 5yrs of BCL signing. Just an idea. Any good??

See what Ipswich have done there. Saved a few hundred on a new race suit & permanent-markers a line down the 'a' & written 'o' 'n'. Thomas >Thompson Just got Emil & Jason in the team but can't afford a race-suit for the new guy the cheap b@stereds Tin pot club
