In that case it's time the BSPA removed the word "Fast" from the FTR - totally inappropriate if a rider as good as Newman is now is not moving out of a reserve position.

Sunday's are a problem - Glasgow have discovered this and trying to change race day I believe!

Phew! What a relief!

No to Bjerres - the team spirit this year was great to see and something which has been lacking for a while - that would not be the case with those two in! Thought he signed as the first asset of the new promotion early in the season.

Not quite accurate enough there for me - "he is a part- time class act" but I would rather have a committed full time No. 1.

Redcar's Jonas Andersen or Ippo's Covatti/Tungate are all I can think of as possible replacements for Porsing. Any other ideas anyone?

You can "wonder" about me all you like - I don't give a toss what you think - I am too long in the tooth to have the wool pulled over my eyes! No one and nothing said on here will change my opinion without FACTS and they will be forthcoming eventually!

SPEAKS VOLUMES IN MY OPINION! Well done for trying but the response is what I expected sadly.

Target 2000? With only few days to go the Club need to announce our team (including a guest) - that's the best chance of achieving that figure.

Dak's mind being elsewhere and compassionate leave are not the issue here really - of course it's understandable and should be granted no question but the only professional person he should have been seeing was a Travel Agent not a Doctor. His father is far more important than any speedway meeting and why he chose to ride on Friday evening rather than be preparing to fly to Australia is totally baffling as is the fact that he still has not gone. That is what most people would consider normal behaviour and certainly what I would do if it were my father. Just so no one assumes wrongly I am an aggrieved Bees fan I am actually a Panthers supporter (and Dak fan) and would welcome him back to the EoES at any time.

Pleased it's not earlier than 5 pm.

Return fixture will be 27th Sept. At 5 pm.

I agree money is usually the main consideration but my question to you was "In your opinion do you think Glasgow speedway club would be willing to change race day to accommodate Thomsen in the team"?

If he races in Poland as we all expect would Glasgow be willing to change race day to accommodate him? - I don't see that as a problem at Peterborough as it's never been our traditional race day - I would actually prefer if it wasn't in future regardless of who we sign and I know I am not the only Panthers fan of this opinion.

I would happily give up Sunday race meetings at home to accommodate him in our team in 2016 so he can race in Poland.

Lol. Pots and kettles spring to mind!

Funny that because it's exactly what I felt like saying to him on every occasion he messed us about!

Just had a look at BSPA site for his average and thankfully it's still just over SIX.

No no and NO! - did you get that?

Such a shame unlikely to be moved I think due to Simon Lambert riding for Leicester V Poole in the evening.

I agree with all you say and Kyle Bickley set up the fund - he is one of the young riders you speak of and yes they are certainly deserving of all our support. I have a few queries: think bucket collections needed at our UK tracks as I am sure there are others like me who do not use PayPal or are prepared to give out details of Credit cards etc. to these sites but wish to donate but prefer it to be cash - many speedway fans are like me "mature in years" and not so familiar with technology and modern methods of charity funding of this nature. Do Northside have insurance cover to help with any of the cost of replacement here and once done how will they secure the site against further attacks of this nature? On seeing the photographs my first thought was an air fence left out is particularly vulnerable to vandalism. I hope those that did this are caught and punished severely but it's probably unlikely.

Maybe Buster simply thought not worth risking a late call off with Swindon being a fair distance to travel from for their fans - still raining now where I am by the way forecasts not always exact!

I think that would be a good compromise with two northern and two southern tracks involved and a Saturday evening should help fans of all clubs to attend if they wish.

Not sure where you are based or which weather site you are reading but I live on the Cambs/Norfolk border approx 30 mins from Saddlebow Road and we have had a lot of rain over last 48 hours ( still raining as I type) plus the Met Office issued a further "Warning" for this part of the country at 11.10 this morning until 18.00 today. I am not at all surprised by this call off and think it was the correct decision unless someone who lives much closer can tell me the weather there is completely different to what I am experiencing!

Excellent signing really pleased with that. Welcome to the Panthers Anders.
