Bit weird to announce a rider has almost signed?

If this is true I would defiantly try my best to get lindback in my side if I was buster/Carl. He would fly round the showground, not sure how he would have gone at Ipswich. This while crump thing must be a joke... surely ?

Where has this Jason crump rumour come from ?

Seriously what is the hold up with these last signings ! Surely the riders I question must have sorted their schedules etc by now. My business has enquired about some sponsorship for the team this season but with only 4 riders announced its hard to commit to anything just yet !

Well that’s cleared things up for me a bit, I’m not a BB holder myself but parking in the designated showground BB spaces has to be the most sensible solution. Now it’s no different as to when a B.B. holder visits the showground for any other event. Can’t argue with that

I’m starting to think that NKI has decided not to ride in the UK and the management are trying to re build the team. Surely NKI would not need that long to make a decision as he’s done it all before. He know the logistics of it all........ assuming it is NKI that we was waiting on

What average is he on ? It doesn’t say In the press reslease unless I’m blind

Think it will be at the end of this week if the tweet is correct, I read it earlier and I think it said news later this week

No it’s just a hunch. I thought he would have been the first name to be announced for Ipswich if he was back there next season, I don’t think iversen will race in the uk next year in my opinion. So the only local rider is king, assuming Bjerre isn’t riding in the uk either

I think you could be right with Danny king

So with Nicki being announced at Sheffield today is anyone else just feeling a little deflated by the lack of movement on the panthers team building, I just get the feeling that we won’t have a superstar and will have a decent championship side at best :(

I was under the impression Eurosport wanted at least 10 teams in the league to warrant a tv deal, the Poole wanting to drop down and the supposed 3 coming up there’s still 1 short, I guess it doesn’t really matter now they have done the deal but I can only see maybe 8 teams max in the prem next season

Bit if a shame Eurosport couldn’t get the gp coverage aswell, people are still going to have to subscribe to BT just to watch the Grand Prix. But good news for British speedway. Fingers crossed for a few more prem teams to make it worth while

So with a new tv deal announced with Eurosport, what’s happening with the Grand Prix.? Are we assuming by sports are still going to cover them or will we not be able to see Grand Prix speedway on tv in the uk

Fingers crossed buster succeeds in getting a FIM meeting at the showground next season, we have the best track in the country and we need a big international meeting to showcase this. Plus it might bring in some people that have never seen speedway before which is always good !

If this is aimed at me you can think of me what you like, I’m only saying what has been said to a group of us that watch the speedway from the pits, along with people who have an input into running the club

I’m pretty sure Peterborough speedway own the wooden fence, hence why buster has said he is going to re build some/all of it in the off season. As much as people dislike him. Without him we wouldn’t be seeing any speedway at Peterborough

Is it the show grounds property.? Maybe he has spoken with them and they have agreed between them I don’t know. I’ve spoken to him a few times this season and he is a very honest bloke in my opinion. He’s told be on quite a few occasions this season about how much money he is losing running the club. Why would he lie ? And again why would he lie about the 10 teams in the league ?

Rumour has it that buster is going to complete rebuild the safety fence at the show ground. ( quite handy as Hans made a massive whole in it last week ! ) and get rid of the air fence and change for those sponge type bags which they use at Lynn. The ones where you have to jcb each bag in position at a time. He wants To run some FIM meetings at the showground if he can !

Yeah true, it will be a shame to lose the coverage, I just can’t see where three more teams will Step up to premier league. Glasgow seem to have plenty of money so maybe them. And maybe Leicester again. Can’t see another team willing to step up though

Buster said last night he’s got some big plans for next season. He also mentioned that by sport have told him unless there is 10 teams in the prem they won’t be doing speedway coverage next season ! Maybe I can cancel BT sport after all !

I think your right. Steady rain until 7pm. I’m sure he will try and get his team mates to get it called off

Still raining here in alwalton. I’ve seen speedway called off with less rainfall than this before

I’m literally half a mile from showground and it’s been lightly raining for the last few hours. Not sure how much rain the track will take but I’m sure buster is there this afternoon trying his best

Premiership again, will probably be he same 7 teams, I asked buster last night about getting more teams in the top tier and he said non of them would want to come up, and there is not enough riders in the uk to have more teams in the prem. why ride in England when you can make more money in Europe.
