Panthers 2014


Recommended Posts

Its a sad day for the Panthers fans am realy gutted for em.....

Totally agree - such a shame to lose a great race track as well. As a Leicster fan I am delighted that we will see top flight racing but would like to have visited boro too - Fingers crossed somebody will step in and bring back worthwhile speedway promotion to Pererborough.

A sad day for Speedway but who can blame Frost?

 

He came in to the sport and looked to bring a professional approach which was thwarted time and time again by the imbreds!

 

Let's hope he gives us some clarity around the 'workings' of the BSPA and what led him to walk away.

 

Not sure Speedway can afford to loose people like Frost.

The harsh reality is these days with the financial climate even people with plenty of £ will only put money into a sure thing and Speedway is not unfortunately.

 

I see the same faces when I get to meetings which shows there are diehards out there just not enough.

 

Our crowd levels are more towards Premier League anyway, not saying I would have asked for a drop but can anyone hand on heart say Frost/Mahoney should have taken the plunge with the risk they would lose more than £100,000.

 

So as for the Panthers assets are they free agents? Or they still require a loan fee?

Can't blame Frost. Has put his money where his mouth is, but Peterborough haven't got enough support to be an EL club or the opportunity for a regular race night to help in that respect.

 

Would think Frost is fed up with continually weakening the product with silly notions like NL riders in the EL plus he's been crapped on a few times by the BSPA, so no surprise he's pulled out.

Feel sorry for all the Loyal P'Boro fans, but basically the crowds were not there, and Frost can't keep digging holes and finding money. Its going to catch up sometime..

As someone who enjoyed his speedway fix at The Showground whilst Leicester was shut, I sincerely hope a new owner can be found for the Panthers. A great race track, which Leicester sadly isn't (yet but here's hoping!), speedway can ill afford to lose this venue. Best wishes to all Panthers fans for some good news soon.
