scoobydoo Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Readypower Panthers V Readypower Pirates to open the season ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneacat Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Readypower Panthers V Readypower Pirates to open the season ??? Lol. A good thrashing is not the way to start the season - either for rider confidence or the finances of the club in trying to encourage new fans beyond the first meeting. I would choose Ipswich for a home and away - give our lads some small track practice - fans a reasonable opportunity to travel for the away leg and the chance to judge our new team up against genuine opposition in our league.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 As a Witches fan wouldnt want a challenge against Boro to start the season. Already due to race early season in LC so go straight into that comp IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Can't see Poole being in the PL any time soon. No but then it was not so long ago that I could have foreseen Panthers being there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 GREAT START IN STORE PETERBOROUGH hope their new era will begin with a bang courtesy of the best of British. The new-look Readypower Panthers roar into action for the first time on Sunday, March 15 with a mouth-watering showdown against a Great Britain team. National chief Alun Rossiter will lead an all-Brit side into battle at the East of England Showground in what should be a terrific start to the 2015 season. And new Peterborough chief Ged Rathbone, who masterminded the clubs successful survival mission during the winter with long-serving co-promoter Trevor Swales, cannot wait. We are absolutely delighted that Rosco has agreed to put together a GB team to take on Panthers in our opening meeting, said Rathbone. We were determined to start the new season with a bang and we felt we needed to put on a spectacle which will capture the imagination of not just Peterborough fans, but speedway supporters in general. We certainly didnt want to go straight into competitive racing and I must admit that a Challenge clash against another Premier League team didnt really grab me either. Weve worked very hard to put on a big event and we are very much looking forward to a super Sunday to kick-start what will hopefully be a successful season. The exact start time of the afternoon meeting is still to be finalised. That, along with details on the riders involved in the Great Britian side, will be announced in due course The opening meeting will complete a hectic few days on the eve of the new campaign. Readypower Panthers will stage their annual Press & Practice session on Thursday, March 12 with a pre-season social evening pencilled in for the following night (Friday, March 13). http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.2361.2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sounds great, just a pity that this meeting clashes with Rory's testimonial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
