Crump99 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm sure I saw a certain Mr Bratley in the pits before the meeting unless he has a better looking older brother! He's often there. Those latrines don't clean themselves y'know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I don't think that it has been any better or any worse tbh. The only thing that has excited me this year is Anders Thomsen: now he does look a talent so will be too big for us now and will be offski & uspski. If the feel-good factor has returned it's nothing IMO to do with the PL. It's returned because Rathbone is good at what he does, is good at communicating with fans at the right level and the riders are encouraged and happy to interact with those fans, plus we have a team at the right end of the table who made the play-offs. That's nothing that couldn't have been done before but we had what appeared to be a distant promotion who were uncomfortable communicating at the fans level, and there was a distinct lack of interaction between riders and fans, especially from the team's much maligned permanent figurehead, plus it was only at the end that of our EL tenure that we had a potent winning team. For 2016 Rob Lyon sort of gave the game away when he said they sort of know what the structure is next year (or something like that, just needing to be rubber stamped at the AGM?) so you suspect that it's more of the same for Panthers if the club owner (we assume that he still is) is happy for the present arrangement to continue? It's not for me as I can take it or leave it since 2013, but if it works for the club then so be it. Better that than lose the magnificent EoES track and facilities to speedway. Nothing I disagree with at all, especially about Ged Rathbone, communication and the team interacting with the fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Wonder whether the aim will be to keep the majority of this year's team together or re-build with a mainly british team again like we did at the start of this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurcher Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 as talk turns to team building for 2016.. I thought I'd start a thread for next season.... I would thing I would like to see all of Ostergaard , Barker, Grondal, Thomsen, S Lambert and Palm Toft + AN Other back next season Add Dimitri BERGE and that would be a great team and would still keep the team spirit we have going - shame we can not get n Porshing in though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Add Dimitri BERGE and that would be a great team and would still keep the team spirit we have going - shame we can not get n Porshing in though Why couldn't we get porsing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 With that 7..... The small thing called, averages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 With that 7..... The small thing called, averages Thomsen riding Poland next year. Imo not enough heat winners to go one step further next season in that line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Nothing I disagree with at all, especially about Ged Rathbone, communication and the team interacting with the fans.

Lurcher Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Why couldn't we get porsing?Because we can only have 7 riders in a team😁.If no Thompson then fit porsing in his place Edited October 6, 2015 by Lurcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ulrich Ostergaard 7.87 Carl Wilkinson 5.30 Niklas Porsing 7.84 Simon Lambert 5.19 Ben Barker 7.56 Emil Grondal 5.12 Rafa Konokpra 3.00 41.88 Stick with 6 of the riders from this season, heat winners, and a decent reserve all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 good to see the peoples champion getting a mention in the 2016 team thoughts. but in theory you are only building to a max of 38.88 not a bad side though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd the that. Believe Ged sponsored Wilkinson too. It'll be interesting what way we turn if we have to select 5 riders with the draft Will it be on NL wobbler or two Edited October 7, 2015 by dazpanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'd the that. Believe Ged sponsored Wilkinson too. It'll be interesting what way we turn if we have to select 5 riders with the draft Will it be on NL wobbler or two Before becoming a Promoter Ged ran his own team called "Motive" for riders Carl W, Danny Philipps and Oustergaard.

LagutaRacingFan Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I would like to see Rafa back next year on proper equipment. If you gave Woffinden's bike to Rafa, I bet he would score more points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 If you gave Woofy's bike to most riders they'd score more points 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 There is probably only 10 riders in the world that could ride Woffies rocket ships, & Rafa ain't one of them !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
