if the puddy catz dont clean up this season, they never will.

 

1992 was a bit of a clean up:

 

League Champions (1) – 1992

Ko Cup Winners (1) – 1992

4TT Champions (1) – 1992

 

plus our 2 point ringer finished on 8.40 with 4 full & 4 paid maximums, although not as good as 1999 with 11 full and 3 paid maximums on 10.67 as Panthers were the best team in Britain:

 

Elite League

League Champions 1999

Knockout Cup Winners 1999

Craven Shield Winners 1999

League Riders Champions J Crump 1999

 

Thanks for the opportunity to put that on the record, troll or not :t:

1998 wasn't bad either. Aah those trophy laden years!

 

Premier League

League Champions 1998

4TT Champions - 1998

League Riders Champion - G Cunningham 1998

Pairs Champions - G Cunningham & B Woodifield 1998

KO Cup Runners Up 1998

Young Shield Runners Up - 1998

 

I honestly believe we would have won the cups too if Cunningham want injured, he was awesome that year.

Friday night was good in 98 I agree but it was just the hors-d'oeuvre for what was to come.

 

Cunningham was sensational in 98 I agree:

 

In 1998 He reached the Overseas Final and finished on the podium in third place, as well as winning the Premier League Championship, the Premier League Fours and the Premier League Pairs with his club side, Peterborough Panthers. To cap his best ever season he was selected to ride for England against Australia at Eastbourne.

You didn't like the quality post Tel, sitting there in lower league towers as you are :D

Trev

 

That better?

 

Looking at the current Elite league, not sure we are in the lower league in reality :lol:

 

Some people are picky!!

 

All the best

Good lad Tel, you know it makes sense!

 

An 8 team EL doesn't particularly excite but I'd rather be watching Iversen, Batchelor, Bjerre (as a member of the opposition), Andersen (just about as he's PL standard these days anyway) - who are all our riders: or probably Poole assets now! Zagar, Harris, Jonsson, Holder etc and Sky coverage being relevant to us.

 

I'm sure I'll get over it Tel, probably about November :D

Was looking forward to seeing Cunningham in 1999 after all the hype and he turned up at newport in an early season challenge and was superb with a 15 point max.

 

After that he was pretty average - watson and henriksson used to wipe the floor with him

And a very lucky rider in the PLRC in 98.

TBF we can all look back at the luck certain rider had to win this meeting and that meeting. He ultimately put himself in a position to be able to win it. There is no doubting that in 1998 that Cunningham was a superb rider and set for big things - where did it all go so wrong? As Pinny says, in 1999 he lost a point on his average and went backwards. He tried the EL the year after and was screwed over a bit by Peterborough (same as Compton) - which saw Compton back in the PL that season (was it Newcastle who signed him on 11?) and Cunningham went to BV for the rest of the season before returning to the PL with Newport and becoming the 7 point man he remained as for the rest of his career.

 

Peterborough that season killed off Compton and Cunningham - two riders who could and probably should have achieved a lot more

Cunningham should have gone EL in 99 but wouldn't despite the offers from Peterborough, Cunningham was like a lot of other riders at PL level he just lacked ambition.

Very talented rider - i remember compton and cunningham at reserve for pboro and their averages went sky high and were dumped at the first chance

 

That said cunningham was superb around Swindon - even in his newport season. I remember us getting stuffed and he didnt try a leg foer a few rides then rattled off three or four wins on the bounce once the match was over!

Hugely talented. He just seems to lose his bottle by 2001. He'd draw alongside a rider going into a bend and shut off, he just didn't have that killer instinct. I remember one meeting against Sheffield, the track was dry and had a thick blue groove, anyone who missed it went backwards and into the fence, one lap Glen was moved off it and just carried on as normal - proof his ability on a bike was up there with the best. He just seemed to not car at times though - or only want to pass around the outside when he had a clear run. Was he involved in a nasty accident in late 98/early 99 where he tried to go up the inside of someone and that played on his mind possibly?
