Crump99 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) I may be wrong but I think Ged indicated at recent fans forum that Sunday was the preferred day. "Rathbone also reiterated on a number of occasions that important meetings lie ahead with their East of England Showground landlords and the club owners. The suggestion is that significantly more Sunday meetings could feature in the 2016 schedule" (peterboroughtoday/speedway/speedway-the-weird-world-of-a-peterborough-panthers-fans-forum) Long way between suggestion and reality, hopefully a long long way.

mudflaps Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 when I talked with him personally we asked for a later start time because my daughter works Sundays and it was generally felt that the track is not as good during the afternoon. it's all about you innit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Scunthorpe have made the sensible decision to put their Sunday meetings on at 1830 hrs. This aids track preparation and leaves people plenty of time to get home. Mid afternoon is not the best time to have a Sunday meeting unless it is early season or October . If Peterborough run some Sunday meetings , I hope itis 1700 hrs at the earliest 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorelsm Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 If it was all about me, I'd dream we were still be in the Elite League... Have the Russian at No1, the World Champion at 5, meetings every Friday night on a perfect track... Ah, then I'd wake up! I don't think that Messers Ostergaard, Jakobsen and Grondal are 2nd tier riders... Ulrich won the big meeting at Sheffield just a few months ago, Emil looks to have a big future... and wasn't it Jakobsen holding off Olly Allen until the crash. Still like PK for No1.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) So who's being announced next If it was all about me, I'd dream we were still be in the Elite League...

I don't think that Messers Ostergaard, Jakobsen and Grondal are 2nd tier riders...

Ostergaard is not a number 1 and cam be very erratic. Grondal if he doesn't clean up reserve against 3 pointers and score double figures home and away is a waste of 5 points imo NBJ has potential and will need to kick on. Without 2 top signings I fear mid table Edited November 30, 2015 by dazpanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough is an EL set up (although I admit that the EL of today is a millions miles from Elite and the alleged top level still needs to seriously sort itself out) and I still hope that our current owners or new owners will return us from whence we came in the not too distant future. PL speedway amongst Sunday drivers does nothing for me, well PL full stop come to that, and the former is not compatible with that objective. I can take it or leave it which wasn't the case until the last couple of seasons. Perhaps I've done my speedway supporting time all fallen out of love with the sport at domestic level? If where we are is the ambition the club now has then so be it if it balances the finances and works for those concerned, attendance isn't compulsory is it. Living in the past it may be but 2013 isn't exactly ancient history and it's still an open wound which has had salt scattered on it on various occasions since then. It just will not heal. However, you can't move forward if you don't exist so credit to Rathbone & Swales for keeping the show on the road through troubled times. Peterborough Speedway is there for those who want it which is the main thing, and the fact that the sport still has one of its best set ups in operation shouldn't be underestimated. Well you did ask!
