Well done Richard, a deserved win. A big thank you to the Panthers mangement for not only bringing him to the showground but also keeping faith with him when he struggled at the beginning of the season. I am sure that I am joined by all Panthers fans in hoping that he is in the Panthers colours again next year. Well done again Richard.
I just knew I would come on here and people would have another go at Hans. Scotty was riding hard all night and he touched Hans. Agreed Scotty has a problem with Hans and should get over it. Hans will be world champion Scotty never will while he has a chip on his shoulder.
I said at the time Jason would want to beat Hans because he is likely to be world champion and as Hans has won the only GP he has been in and then beat him tonight, would his inevitable World Championship title then be a hollow one especially if Hans also wins the Scandinavian GP as well.
I agree with you that this forum is about airing your views, now come on Mr Moore admit that Hans was hard done by last night and that he is a class rider whether you like him or not. Then I will have more respect for your comments. I don't expect one however or any positive replies on the forum aboUt the Panthers. I was lucky to be at the press conference after the match last night and Hans was so pleased holding the trophy. I have a lovely photo of it so if you would like a copy send me a PM.
You are a sad man Mr Moore, you come on here every so often and on the Panthers page having a go at Hans or the Panthers. I see you even had a go at a Poole match you went to see and say how boring it was. I think your time would be better employed watching tiddlywinks in outer Mongolia, no controvesy and rivetting action.
Well said Cat, they were my thoughts as well. Roll on Saturday, I'll be there and hoping GB win. If that does not happen then club loyalties kick in and that means Denmark for me with Hans leading the way.
Have to agree withyou Lupus, we have one of those on the Evening Telegraph in Peterborough and the more he gets a reaction the more he likes it. Best to ignore it and that will annoy him even more.
Have just got back home to Peterborough after spending two nights at Poole. It cost me 120 pounds for the two nights stay, plus the 34 pounds for the tickets to see 6 races. I have not had time to go through all these posts but the ones I have read agree with what I feel, that the meeting could have carried on. In addition we enticed two people who do not live far from Poole to go for the first time. They did not know what to expect but were looking forward to it. I don't know if they will ever go again. I'm not saying I did not have a good weekend but my primary reason for going there was to see the speedway.
Just got home from the showground. A good crowd for Ryan's testimonial and a super line up of riders. It was a four team tournament which was won by the Panthers quite comprehensively. The individual was one by Jesper who seems to be improving every meeting. NKI also showed some good speed today. Of the non Panthers riders then Bjarne Pedersen was the best. An enjoyable day for everyone with plenty of entertainment and the weather managed to hold off although it turned cold in the latter stages.
As it is Easter I have made a weeknd out of it. Watching the Panthers on Friday, then travelling down Saturday staying in a hotel in Bornemouth for two nights and incorporating the speedway.
I would imagine the change of date is due to the World Cup starts on the 9th June and there is a possibility that England could be playing on the 10th.
He has not changed over the years. As I posted on the " best era of speedway", I see him every day. When I tell him he was one of my favourites he goes all bashful. Pinned a photo of him up on the office wall in his Kings Lynn days.Drives a lorry now and when he is nearly loaded I shout to him " Ian Turner is on two minutes". He normally comes back about 5 minutes later and says in our days two minutes was always a lot longer than it is today.Great guy.
