New era Panthers

With the attendances at Rye House being so low I would be surprised if there is any speedway there next season under the Lakeside promotional banner.

He has not been dropped as you put it , he was in touch with management and told them he was unfit to ride.

To be honest he has not looked anything like the rider we know he can be since coming back from his second serious injury this season , he's been trying and putting on a brave face but I don't believe he's anywhere near 100% and I also think he's very low on confidence , admire his grit but should have waited longer before making a comeback .

Nobody is suggesting he's lying , there is a difference between glossing over the facts and lying.

Expense would have been more running elite league speedway though.

Just drove past the showground when my windscreen got covered in a plague of moths wearing sun glasses , now I know where they have come from.

Only those who are in control of the finances would know the real answer, but regardless of that, you would hardly expect him to admit he was running at a loss when trying to sell the club any one in this position would always gloss over the facts , but I honestly believe which ever way it is that it's a minimal amount, and also believe if he was local to the area i'm sure he would not be selling the club as all the travel involved must be taking it's toll with a business to run in the Middlesbrough that probably doesn't get his full attention it's hardly surprising he wants to sell up regardless of the Redcar situation.

You should go on stage , either sweeping up or riding shotgun.

Well thought out but do you actually think the BSPA will be able to take all this in , let alone implement it , much to complicated for them to understand.

There should be a mandate for all clubs to finish there league season by the end of august leaving all of September for play offs and any cup action when normally you would expect the weather to be a little more helpful and October should only be used as an emergency fall back period it makes sense to try and draw fans in with prospects of warmer weather and daylight travelling. Yes you are correct it is a shambles but when have the BSPA done anything to improve the sport regarding fixtures which after accepting they then want to get them cancelled because it suits there individual needs as opposed to doing what is right and proper thing to do

There was no way this meeting could have carried on it was unfit to race on full stop I watched all the efforts to try and clear the water off the third bend and even when they did reduce the flooding and I don't mean clearing there was still big puddles on the inside of the bend and the rest was just like sludge I can't say I would blame any rider for not wanting to ride let alone race on such a dangerous surface , nobody wants to see riders put themselves at risk of serious injuries in such circumstances . As you say both riders who opposing captains at the time were against riding and I am sure it was the only logical conclusion despite the valiant efforts of Rob Godfrey and his track crew to try and get the meeting on again.

So pay £15. 00 to watch 5 heats and get a reduction of £5 00 as I could have stayed to watch imaginary heats 11 to 15 , that's not the right way to do business , who at the BSPA came up with that idea . Then people are wondering why crowds are on the decline is it really any wonder when the governing body are continually shooting themselves in the foot.

Not me , the last time I attended a meeting at Scunthorpe was the the replay of the k/o cup in 2017 , having previously been to the abandoned meeting where I had my ticket stamped by Rob Godfrey on the way out after witnessing 5 heats and then turning up for the replay with my previous stamped ticket to be told I was entitled for my efforts to a £5. 00 reduction , now from that previous encounter for which I had paid £15. 00 entrance fee and still expecting me to pay another £10 equates to £25.00 to watch 20 races , surely it should have been a £10. 00 reduction . shear daylight robbery that's why you will never see me again at Scunthorpe . I don't like being ripped off.

Wrong the PC brigade as you call them, have not been caught hook, line and sinker , it's your promoter who has been caught with his pants down and had his ar5e firmly rattled.

Even if they did agree to keep rider's on a pay structure that would apply to all, can you imagine how many are likely to break that rule when the situation suits them as there are so many ways to get around such a deal , something like paying a sponsor a set sum which could then be included into a sponsorship deal is just one example.

No problem on my part for him to come back to Panthers , that's if they are running in 2019 but what about his supposed main sponsor which was said to be one of the main reasons he went to Glasgow in the first place , will they not have something to say.

Danny Phillips has had a poor season by any riders standards and Scunthorpe had plenty of opportunities to replace him before the deadline for replacements and rightly should have been dropped . The fact that this didn't happen lies firmly in Godfrey's back yard , so instead of blaming the rider why don't Scunthorpe fans have a go at there beloved promoter who still thought he could pull a fast one after the deadline. The lad has done his best even though he's been way off the mark , it's not his fault he's still in the team.

No qualms about your above comment MPT was the main reason we are out of k/o cup for his performance at Scunthorpe as much the same reason for Ostergaard in the home meeting they both had shockers but congratulations on reaching the final as you proved to be the better side over the two legs and deserve to be there.

Petulant ? Get real I have got just about the same respect for you as I have for your childish fellow Scunthorpe fan funny but not funny dan and your rule bending promoter.

O/K so you're through to the final of the k/o cup , you're team didn't win on the night , had they have done they would have got a victory parade as for missing fireworks , if you had listened to announcements being made, you would have heard it broadcast on more than a couple of occasions on the PA system, so next time you visit(if there is a next time )just remember we only do victory parades for winners and not for losers.

I suppose you would like a new vote on brexit as well

Surprise surprise massive sale at the track shop tonight.

I can't think of anywhere close by without taking you towards town centre , however if you leave the A1 at junction 17 and head for (Extra Services) on the A605 there is a range of fast food outlets including Mcdonalds and KFC and you will not be going too much out of the way.

The one bad day just happened to be k/o semi final ,and left Panthers with no chance of progressing any further, I also think his last few matches for Panthers have been pretty average whilst over the same period he's had some very good meetings for Kings Lynn . Also having a rant at supporters who have been disappointed with his recent efforts for Panthers is not the best way to respond to any criticism's levelled at him. Definitely should not have been experimenting in such a crucial meeting for Panthers and any rider who thinks this is o/k should be shown the door .

Then hopefully he can get focused for a new club next season .
