Peterborough Panthers 2017

are you saying the Boro fans dab and are dozy?? 😜😜 -
restriction of no more than 2 events in any 8 day rolling period as well I believe. we did indeed host a few meetings.Agree that time to the curfew should not be an issue 9 yimes out of 10. No reason why a meeting starting at 7.45 shouldnt be complete by 9.15/9.30 allowing time for 6 MDL heats. The other general logistics (and costs) of running a team are the unknown for me.

Ipswich 1)Danny - so much more than just a great number 1. Super professional in his set up and approach. Great captain and role model too. Expect him to push towards a 10 pt ave. 2) Cam - has been a bit of an enigma. Oodles of talent but plagued by his wrist injuries. Needs to concentrate on his preparation and mental outlook. Could add 2+ to his average if things go well but expect a point increase at worst. 3) Rory - every Witches fan is dreaming of Rory pushing Danny for the No1 spot. Probably not realistic given what he has been through but who knows. Would be disappointed with anything less than a point increase. 4) Kyle - similar to Cam re injuries hampering his progress so another that could add 2 but expect no less than 1 point increase. 5)Nico - biggest issue for him is also preparation. Prone to the odd lapse that should be within his control. 100% trier and gets you on the edge of your seat. Fans favourite and easy to see why. Average wise dont expect anymore that half a point increase. 6)Danyon - whole hearted racer who lifted the atmosphere when introduced last year. Level headed and seems to want to listen and learn from those around him. Would be disappointed if he didnt average 4 by the end of the year. 7)Connor - I have limited knowledge of him but didnt look out if his depth in his outing last year. Those with much greater knowledge than me of the NL riders seem to rate him ahead of Danyon though which hopefully is a good sign for us. Nasty injury ended his season so just how complete his recovery has been could determine his progress. Anything over his 2 point starting ave would be a success IMO but he could spring a big surprise. Optimistic that we will be right up there challenging but never take anything for granted - we have flattered to deceive all too often!

over 5 grand out of pocket when he did do it....

Logistics and finance. £25 a point and no travel expenses. 4 rounds over 10 days thousands of miles from home....

Air Fences Lifting
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to martinmauger's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
yes - it was a sickener to see.He hit past where the airfence would be though and because it was effectively on the straight rather than the force dislodging the panels it was absorbed in a straight line down the following ones meaning it stayed put causing the damage. -

That news must put a smile on the faces of all pussycat fans. Be interesting to know if the full asset base is included in the deal...... -

thats the same for every side - even favourites Sheffield will do nothing of note unless 2-3 kick on. Pboro have the same chance as all teams to successful and a side that should entertain in trying to do it even if they dont ultimately succeed. -

devils advocate would say post 1990 doesnt represent when the sport was thriving.... Perhaps the two are linked.... -

Edinburgh 2017
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to soupy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
dont think thats the case. During those times there were only a few non Brits outside the top tier (coming in on a 9 I think) and those in the top flight had to achieve 6 to stay there. -

'there are none so blind as those that will not see' or words to that effect. It isnt about Mark Riss, Campton, Gappmaier, Wallner or any other individual rider. Many get too hung up about an individual favourite from their own team rather than the bigger picture. Its about setting a standard at 5 which seemed a sensible level only to alter the next year to suit rather than stick to an agreed principle. -

and if so proves why any non Brit shouldve been back on no less than 5. Unfortunately enough teams wanted to keep sub 5 non Brits to vote through the change.... -

who would be your Pick? -
Peterborough Panthers 2017
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv replied to Flappy's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
good luck with that ! My bet would be that you will have no problem with singing 'Walking in the air' like a youthful Aled Jones after she has finished with your tackle 😲😲 -
Would be a great way to start the year. Have missed our proper derbies against the Stars. I would want to go up against a full strength side even if it did mean we got beat. Dont think it would be as much of a mis-match this year and changes would diminish the appeal IMO
