Official Panthers twitter feed confirms First signing to follow

ha ha Just that it seems to be a foregone conculsion on here that Ippo will be running Only asking the question see my other thread "Ipswich to be 2011 Elite League Champions"

Has anyone considered the possibility of no speedway at all at Ipswich next year?

Let's at least hope that there will be some speedway at Ipswich this season

agreed there wouldn't be much to "take in" if they were staying put

wern't they threatening to get lawyers involved over some posting on here not so long back?

it does, I worked in Prague for a couple of years and it is rife. There is nothing to alarm anyone but you do need to be very careful on public transport

about an hour from Garda itself, take the motorway A4 and Lonigo is just off that. Google maps will sort you out easily

watch out for pickpockets on the tram and at the stops though

I went to Lonigo 2 years ago, I recall the meeting was in July and it was baking hot. We stayed at Lake Garda which was excellent and also visited Verona which we enjoyed especially the Opera You would need a car for Lonigo but you could also do Venice easily from there

Gothenburg is a terrific city, I went for the abandoned meeting but still had a great weekend, that tells you how good it is, highly recommended

ok, thanks for that will try and get there early

well said Sir try taking a deep breath FIRST next time

thanks this is great, we are going by car. Where is a good place to park please? many thanks in advance

Ryanair from Stansted to Verona Brescia We stayed in Garda itself and Verona, both highly recommended and easy enough to get to Lonigo by car Great meeting last year

many thanks

Anyone got theirs through yet? thanks in advance

[quote name= It annoys me that had I gone to Sweden and done the same' date=' including assaulting one of their nationals, I would probably be waking up today in a cell waiting to go to court.[/quote] on a slightly different note my wife and I went to Parken last year and most of the crowd were totally pithed by the end, the English people were the exception!

well said my wife had visitors over the weekend whilst I was down at Cradiff, they switched on to see if they could see me and to watchn a couple of heats and ended up watching the whole meeting and getting hooked Edinburgh will get a couple of new fans out of it

can anyone tell me how big the crowd was?

the fault here lies entirely with BSI who accepted assurances from the Swedish federation that the track would be up to scratch notwithstanding last years poor surface. BSI are newcomers, who has heard of Mr P previously? they have made a serious error of judgement here that might cost them their credibility if there are any further problems. We all know that none of the governing bodies of speedway have any teeth so they are unlikely to be thrown out this time but if they loose the support of the fans then it's good night campers. As i said to a very flustered John Postlethwaite on saturday evening it could have been worse, i could have gone to the Austrailian GP (if it ever happens again!) Regardless of weather conditions on the preceeding days how could they have not had anyone doing some laps on the friday to test the track, i see that they have at least learnt from this by announcing that Tony Rickardsson will "test" the track on thursday night.

the insider is i believe correct. i was staying in the same hotel as the BSI party and Mr Olsen and Messrs Gollob, Nicholls, Richardson etc and there were various whispers. in addition a rider who was on a sunday night flight back to London basically confirmed what he posted but not in so many words
