A cakes ingredients need a good stir.......

Pouring down outside.......and I don't care........lol

Yeah 3 years minimum makes more sense.......by that I mean the 'Townies' I stand with during RL matches scarily told me that next season would be the last for Town at DP with the stadium then raised to the ground and a new stadium taking over...for the life of me I cannot see a new stadium being built that quickly....Town even way back in the 1990's had plans drawn up for a new stadium..I've seen them...glad I didn't hold my breath waiting for their inception...

I think Comets will make 2019..........but seeing as Derwent Park is due for demolition it's maybe the finale for them?

Great stuff, well said....think my Workington bias was to the fore when I made my judgement....it's true that those who take time out to post on this forum in the main do love the sport... And it will be handy for info (including wind ups)during the long cold winter days ahead.....although ...roll on next March.

................Totally Honest John......best read, witty, sensible, fearless, adding to a wonderful Workington season.......roll on 2019 marra....

Yes experienced that many years back....when there was no other seats available.

Yes correct re Grandstand........and from my viewing at Town matches, who often return a 700 approx attendance, well there was certainly more than double a typical Town gate......or I need to urgently get to Specsavers.........by the way does speedway have a 'shared gate' policy as RL do for cup matches???

It seems the current vogue is to refer to the Comets as an unfashionable club. On what basis is that theory brought folks' mind-set? We have probably one of the ** best stadiums** in the Championship, a great racing friendly track. Plus, obviously, the best team, and despite reports to the contrary a great bunch of fans. With one of the best away followings by numbers in the sport....what is 'unfashionable' about any of that? **Peterborough also good**........any others ????

Maybe that was the figure 30 mins before tapes up you were given........ .....the Grandstand was well packed and holds 1000..so let's, as a conservative guess, say 900 in there.....the 1st and 2nd bends were well populated, as was the back straight - popular side of stadium...it's not easy to guesstimate of course but the figure looked more like 2000 to me....

Brilliant night....been waiting for this since Berwick Bandits beat us at DP in April 1970.......and seeing such a big crowd gives almost as much satisfaction as winning....fantastic.

Yep he prob does and is currently possibly putting a strain on them via keyboard sledgeing....THJ has been very informative, and useful, regarding the Comets fixture dilemma, also inputting some very good information regarding Tys chase for a 7 point ave....enjoyable reading material. But now he seems to been drawn into battles with several speedway warriors who probably find it an entertaining past-time. Personally, not that THJ isn't capable of holding his own, I would keep away from these types and just continue speedway craic...although with season ending soon there's not gonna be lots of that........anyway roll on 7;30 p.m.

It's gonna be a long day waiting for 7:30 p.m.......and hasn't helped with clocks going back. As for meeting I think ten points will be difficult this time.....Morris, Lawson and Ellis are no slouches.....especially Morris who will be hard to beat.

Very entertaining.... if not totally speedway related lol.......and once you've downed brekky god help PE7 then......just put laal bit in bold coz your "fat fingers" have me wondering was it breast or breath you wont hold ?

So....isn't the thread title Peterborough Panthers 2019 ? Seems more like a 'wordsmiths convention' to date.......any Boro craic at all???

The thing is those who dislike the sport don't see it as a four lap race..........first away always wins is their view.....oh and... they only go round in circles is another wind up...

And there, in bold, you describe the very reason that Speedway remains such a minority sport.................the Rugby fans at DP (no soccer there as yet)are always winding me up as to why I also watch speedway- invariably/consistently/boringly/asking me "did the rider who got to the first bend in the lead win many races?".......it's ok from outsiders who will never likely be converted......but it's sad when a proper speedway fan also finds it boring.....I think gating is a refined skill and not to be knocked.

A new stadium is to be built for RL and Soccer..with no speedway track...and Derwent Park to be demolished...this is going to happen in the next 2 yrs.....

He makes Niki Pedersen seem angelic..

Heats 10 and 11...... when they held it at 20 points ahead had myself and those sat near me twitching a bit..... especially with the dangerous Jake Allen prob being out in 3 more heats..yes good crowd tonight..

Hey.. off with you.........and get that tiling done....

Nielsens heat 11 win got the nerves jangling mind...........

Some close racing to be honest.........

Yeah we've had real decent teams before for sure..however this magnificent 7 top the lot........roll on 2019..hoping

To be fair though I think the racing itself was a tad better than the scoreline indicates.....and it was nice to see so many fans on the popular side terracing...usually unpopular....Derwent Park is a good stadium to host this excellent sport and it will be sad to see the old place demolished...really
