wealdstone Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Seems like the team will be completed tomorrow. As I understand it our number 1 was a reserve for a goodly part of last year. We are looking at third or fourth rate speedway from that which we once knew. And before anybody responds I agree it is better than nothing.

And before anybody responds I agree it is better than nothing. Ryan Fisher wasn't a reserve 'for a goodly part of last year'. With 7.77 available for the last rider (who will indeed be announced in the morning) - Ryan will be Panthers No 1 at the start of the season.

I am very glad that you and Mr Horton with others have made it possible for Panthers to continue. However I still have the view that we will be watching third or fourth rate speedway in 2014. I would be pleased to be proved wrong. Edited January 22, 2014 by wealdstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Neil says Flyin Ryan Fisher will be number 1 when the tapes go up in march so your statement is inaccurate without anything being substantiated...!

I would be pleased to be proved wrong. Having watched Prem lge regulary for the past few years, you may find the racing is just as good, if not better than the Elite. It's certainly very competitive, and the Elite looks very poor, quality wise this year. I'm looking forward to Prem racing personally.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was used to watching elite league racing at Ipswich for years, but since dropping down the racing has been better and closer than whats on show in the elite league nowadays. Give it a chance and stop being an elite league snob. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell's teeth - WHAT a whinger. :mad: Be grateful you have a Team - a lot of us DON'T. :mad: Edited January 22, 2014 by The White Knight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Many have given their view that Premier League provides better and closer racing. That may well be true. However over many years I have seen the so called stars of Premier League or whatever the second tier was at the time finish three quarters of a lap behind the top men. Therefore no matter how close the racing is it is very far from the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough have been rescued, it was GOING TO CLOSE!! (or don't you understand that). MOST people would be grateful that it had been rescued - but - all you can do is whinge and whine because it has not been rescued in to the League YOU wanted. Well this is the real world and IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT - LUMP IT!! I think you are very ungrateful to the good folk who have put their money and heart in to resurrecting what was a DYING Track. GET OVER YOURSELF!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 The opinions of those who differ from you are equally as valid. Of course they are. I am not saying they are not. I just say that ONE Post whingeing about the Second Class Speedway that you are going to watch was enough. Constantly ramming it down the throats of people like me who have no Home town Track when YOU at least have a Speedway Team is, to me, simply not on. You are entitled to your view and I respect that view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irving Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Apologies, it's not very clear is it! Lewis is a Mildenhall asset.That may be the "official" line, but one wonders if that is accurate. Blackbird's contract was exchanged for Oliver Rayson's, but Rayson wasn't Mildenhall's to exchange as he was an Ipswich asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERY true stevebrum - BUT crucially I have never claimed that there has been. I have claimed the Premier League Racing is better than the Elite League yes - but so it is. I have never claimed that the League is Premier unlike some who wish to convince us that the Elite League is the be all and end all of Speedway. Put simply - IT ISN'T!!!

Blackbird's contract was exchanged for Oliver Rayson's, but Rayson wasn't Mildenhall's to exchange as he was an Ipswich asset.So that seems to make Blackbird an Ipswich asset ( as is the other Boro reserve) Quite ironic then that they will both ride against the Witches on Good Friday whilst our own reserve will be elsewhere with his parent club! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
