  1. and with 9 free Saturday dates between the 2nd of September and the end of the season you have to question why they were staging double headers when they know they can never complete them!
  2. According to the fixture list on the Panthers website tomorrow is the last meeting
  3. A little over 24 hours to go until the last ever meeting at the EoES and looking on their website you'd never get the impression that there was anything wrong, business as usual
  4. Have Leicester ever successfully completed a double header?
  5. Just watched the BSN coverage from Thursday and every time they mentioned Peterborough's demise they kept prefixing it with the word "potentially". Buster says definitely everybody else says potentially... something dodgy going on
  6. Personally I don't mind a bit of language... but he's not on the sites, he's being beamed into people's living rooms with all ages watching. I'm assuming BSN have to work within Ofcom guidelines, I don't know
  7. Make the fixture a challenge and Plymouth forfeit the points. Team line ups like the ones Plymouth have sent on their northern tour does the credibility of the sport no good at all... you have to have some kind of minimum standard surely?
  8. Prepare for a Jubilee Trophy... sometime in mid November
  9. It's a view I suppose... he's seriously suggesting that driving a car is comparable to racing professional competitive motor sport. I can't believe a director of a Speedway club is advocating riders pumping themselves full of steroids/HGH in order to be competitive. Speedway is struggling enough to be taken seriously this would be the final straw for many I would suspect, the media would drop it in a heartbeat for starters. He says Speedway falls into line with sports like athletics or weightlifting, not quite true, it falls into line with almost all other professional sports. He's also suggesting that riders are required to walk in a straight line or something before a meeting to test whether they're "fit" to ride. I think he's had one dram too many before writing that post!
  10. Has anybody read what Edinburgh Director Mike Hunter has said on Facebook? Drugs - Just Say Yes! https://twitter.com/SocialSpeedway/status/1700416387661832240?s=20 Unbelievable!
  11. With our recent drugs/alcohol testing record the last thing we need is a pub landlord in charge!
  12. The sport in this country is going to be a poorer place when Bomber finally retires
  13. Dickson all day long for me, he's had a bad year this year but is a hell of a lot better than some of the dross we've had over the years. He may have got a few things wrong this season but I think his current role also extends to being general manger which he seems quite competent at. Don't forget he guided us to our only ever league title and that has to be worth something
  14. Was just saying this the other night, at Wolverhampton we had 2 go down in separate incidents. I can't remember a season like it for members of the crowd going down
  15. I can't imagine why 2 clubs in such similar situations get such different treatment. As far as I'm aware there hasn't even been any kind of press release on the BSPL website about Peterborough's imminent demise
  16. This for Wolverhampton: https://britishspeedway.co.uk/premiership/wolverhampton-speedway-statement/ Silence for Peterborough, meaning they do want to let this one go... why? Something more to this me thinks
  17. Haha, I'll survive There's been so much unfulfilled rumour surrounding Leicester this year I'll believe things when they happen ... and I thought last year was a shambles!
  18. Out of the cup in the first round, home season over by August the 28th, failed to qualify for the play offs after being 2nd in the league, 2 riders suspended for providing non-negative drugs tests, captain sacked... "But we’ve still had a good season" I'd hate to see what a bad one looked like (Peterborough & Lynn fans, please move along)
