Panther1997

They have lost the support of my Grandad whose been going to Peterborough since Boston closed in 1987, who introduced me to supporting the club and I have been taking him to meetings for the last 3 years because he cannot drive full stop or walk more than 20m without a break. All the people who I have sat around since I started going 15 years ago all (did) make use of the disabled parking, and I have no doubt that this will stop them from going to meetings now. I will still go to meetings but my experience will be extremely hampered by this.

I said that throughout the whole of last season, the better races were when the times were slower. Did we break the track record 2 times last year or was it more? Fricke (57.9) and King (57.4) definitely did. The better races round the showground are when its 59+.

Not there but its MPT

7:30

It wont be NKI tonight if at all, but certainly not tonight as he is in Poland for Stal Gorzow’s rider presentation.

Any thoughts to who the big mystery signing being announced tonight is?

I hope he's coming in as a reserve then

Is it me or is that a pretty pointless announcement? I know people want news of a team but do the club really need to make a statement like this? It was obvious we weren't getting any team news until after the 13th? http://www.peterborough-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3731

We have had an announcement about an announcement about an announcement being made. Wooden spoon again then. "PETERBOROUGH fans are just over a week away from learning who their first signing will be for next season.And the club have confirmed team building plans are set to include a combination of new and familiar faces.Co-promoter Colin Pratt is in favour of keeping riders fans can identify with, pointing to Swindon’s argument that they wanted to keep the same team which won the league.And even though Panthers struggled in their first season back in the top flight for various reasons, some of the team are set to return to the Showground."

First signing to be announced on the 13th December at the Supporters Christmas Quiz. Can't wait for everyone to be bowled over with excitement over the signing of Ulrich.

Going to be alot of crashes and fun with Barker and Bates in the same team

Will we be Premiership or Championship?

Edited* Thanks for your kind words.

If we do come to tapes in 2020, Ty, Hans and Scotty need to be nowhere near the team, I’d take Charles (as a 3/5), Rohan (as a 3/5) and BWD (as a 2) from the riders we have had as permanent riders this year. Summers at a push possibly.

To be even leading at any point in this meeting, Ipswich should be embarrassed

Ben Morley for Garrity

Hahahahhahahahahahahaha. Absolute joke

Just out of pure interest, how do you know this?

Johnson has picked the team off facebook, all the people on the supporters group have been asking for ostergaard and he’s delivered. He was an average Championship rider 5 years ago, so god help us

From Panthers Twitter THURSDAY TEAM UPDATE THREE OUT: Andersen, Proctor, Wright. IN: Ostergaard, Barker and R/R Ipswich v Panthers - 7.30 TEAM: Tungate, Ostergaard, Barker, R/R, Nicholls, Summers, Garrity. Laughable. Appalling. Apologies to Ipswich fans.

Peterborough Panthers owner Keith Chapman insists he has no regrets about stepping in to save the club. The British Speedway Promoters’ Association (BSPA) supremo bought the club in the winter and immediately signalled a return to the SGB Premiership after five seasons in the sport’s second tier. But Chapman, who also invested heavily in improvement works on the East of England Arena track, admits Panthers have lost money during a tough campaign in which attendance figures have not been as high as hoped and results on the track have been poor. The city racers have won only six of their 18 league meetings to date and sit five points adrift at the bottom of the standings. “There’s no regrets at all,” Chapman told the Peterborough Telegraph. “Yes, we are losing money, but that’s always the risk in year one of taking over a new business. “I’m a proud man and I have worked hard here, putting in a lot of work on the track which has generally been well received. “The fixture list has been difficult because of long gaps between home meetings like the one we’re currently in. “We have made mistakes along the way but they are honest mistakes and we will try to learn from them. “It’s been a very challenging season for various reasons, but I am pleased to have ensured the survival of this great club and also to bring top-flight racing back to such a great venue.” But Chapman admits the club’s future in the SGB Premiership is not certain. Along with promoters Colin Pratt and Carl Johnson, he admits there is a need to assess if racing on the fixed Monday and Thursday nights is suitable and sustainable for Panthers. Panthers have raced on Fridays for much of their history stretching back to 1970, while Sunday slots proved popular in recent seasons. Chapman added: “There are good things happening behind the scenes for British Speedway right now. “I know the cynics will say they’ve heard it all before but I’m encouraged for the future. “As for Peterborough staying in the Premiership, we obviously need to look at the structure of the sport and whether fixed race-nights work at the venue. “Only time will tell, but we’ll know by November for sure.” Chapman also owns fellow East Anglian sides King’s Lynn and Ipswich. He bought the latter club last winter along with Panthers and also brought them up to the top tier from the SGB Championship.

Busters cheap guests are doing well 0 from 5 rides between, Thanks for coming!

I see on the supporters group on facebook, Carl Johnson was asking people for suggestions for riders for guests and permanent. He’s words ‘Come on then everyone, name the 3 riders you would bring in ? Let’s see how much everyone knows’

Give Lynn the 3 points now and save the time and cost of everyone who is going to be there.

Rohan Tungate has put on his instagram story, "Just got on the plane and rained off, not my week" http://www.peterborough-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3644 - confirmed now
