Peterborough Panthers 2015


Recommended Posts

 

cheers for that Tel - his appearance was very low profile...

Yes you are correct sorry - League Cup final! ;)

 

Thought the atmosphere was very poor - more like a wake than that of a speedway final..

 

 

ATB

yes!!

 

But there was a fair amount of optimism about 2015 down the steps separating Block C and Block D!!

 

Think we will all be watching the forums closely (again!!) during the close season.

 

 

Could not wait for end of year speeches - unfortunately had to be somewhere else quickly!!

I spotted Trevor with what appeared to be a tear in his eye - clapping his hands red raw !! ;)

Was there any explanation about the shenanigans with the air fence on bend 1 before the start of the meeting??

 

A very reliable source told me that all the spare panels had "walked" towards Coventry prior to the meeting!! ;)

Really?

 

I must say I thought there looked to be fewer panels on turn 1 than usual but since I've never counted them I assumed I was imagining it.

 

Last time they had to take the end panel on turn 2 to replace a bust one a few panels in so it was shorter unless the bust panel was repaired which I doubt for one meeting.

Horton all smiles as Coventry into final in EL

Heard a whisper that a bid has been made to the Frosts and is under consideration. The person in question wants to get Panthers back to the EL but not straight away.

Perhaps Colin Horton is coming back as his brother has had two goes at screwing the Peterborough public over he wants a second go also !!!!!

Frost's business has never got out before so I wouldn't take much notice of that.

Horton has screwed the fans by failing to pay the riders, resulting in us ending up with half a team. The riders brought in were all cheap options, & cost us a place in the play offs.

But if more fans were attending the Peterborough meetings then he would have more money coming in to pay them. The problem both last year before Horton took over and this year is that sadly there are not enough fans attending.

He knew that though before he took over once again after having the same issues before at Peterborough. This time he had things as he wanted with supposedly a return to the sustainable Premier League that some of the fans wanted. However, according to attendance figures quoted last week by Frost and Horton we seem to have lost 700 fans (which at one point, if my memory serves me right, was quoted as enough to make it break even) on average. For those that didn't attend in 2014, I can say that Tuesday wasn't the main factor if you want to come back with that old chestnut!

tuesdays race night and riding PL was the main factor and that's a fact trev.. ;)

 

It's a pity they cannot ring fence the Speedway track and grandstand to make it available at weekends when other stuff is going on at the EOES - allowing us to ride Fridays or Sunday if PL and Thursday if EL...
