Tsunami Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 had it not been announced at the Rye House meeting that Peterborough were coming ???,,, or was I hearing things, (again),,, :-) That was changed and Peterborough then switched to Sunday 7th September, which is the special 85th Anniversary meeting.

Alan_Jones Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 That was changed and Peterborough then switched to Sunday 7th September, which is the special 85th Anniversary meeting. Any more info on the 'special' nature of that meeting please, as I may be within range and at a loose end on that day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Any more info on the 'special' nature of that meeting please, as I may be within range and at a loose end on that day?

I think it is due to be announced. I was at a School Show with the show bike last week, and we were handing out flyers for the event. You will find the price OK for such a meeting.

I believe it is a continuous ongoing thing. Joe would be one of the many obvious choices to be inducted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hoping for another win this week. Hope the Weather is kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Hoping for another win this week. Hope the Weather is kind. Forecast is good with a little light rain at 7.00pm. Anybody free at 10.30am on Sunday, why not pop down and give a hand doing the sheets for an hour or so. Free admittance to the evening meeting against the Monarchs later at 7.00pm if you can make it. The more the merrier. Edited August 13, 2014 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highside Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 so the promoters can watch football instead of PROMOTING speedway very sad . and people ask me why i dont go to the speedway now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Knight Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 so the promoters can watch football instead of PROMOTING speedway very sad . and people ask me why i dont go to the speedway now . Errr NO!!! So that the Promoter doesn't have to take a loss because half of his Crowd are attending a Football Match. By delaying the start they can do BOTH!!! A very sound business decision in my opinion - the Promoter would be mad not to change the start time. Whether YOU like it or not Football is way bigger than Speedway these days - accommodations have to be made in order to co-exist. It might be an idea to think your argument through before you Post unwarranted criticism of one of the better Promotional setups in the Premier League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 so the promoters can watch football instead of PROMOTING speedway very sad . and people ask me why i dont go to the speedway now . Wrong again, and on the same point. Nowt to do with the promoters getting to the match. All about making it a time convenient for those supporters and track staff to get to the match and also attend their speedway meeting. Plenty of promoting goes on which you will never know about, but keep saying it and you'll think your right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
