Peterborough Panthers 2017


Recommended Posts

"At the beginning of May, Ipswich's director of speedway Chris Louis revealed the club had "thrown everything" into trying to sign Shanes after he impressed for the Witches during a guest booking against Glasgow."

 

Money wasn't an issue back then.... it was the missing of 18 Matches. He rides every weekend which would effect most championship clubs. Shouldn't be allowed to sign if he is going to miss more matches than he rides in.

Well he's been doing it very well so far , I don't think Witches supporters complained when he guested for your side earlier on this season and nor did Sheffield and Newcastle.

I know it would better if he was in our side rather than him ride against us at reserve , he also has 2 Poole team mates at Peterborough , Hopefully they may be able to persuade him that it would be a good choice.

So which one of Starke or Holder would be dropped?

 

No team can have more than 2 d/u from the same side in the other league.

 

Unless of course Shanes doesnt stay with Poole....

Indeed no complaints and fully aware it was a big bonus to have him against Glasgow.

 

Although the rider he replaced in our case was capable of matching the score Shanes got 😛

The panthers are covered by different regulations to the rest anyway.

That's very true - but not in the way you intended.

 

Panthers have been on the receiving end of dodgy rule interpretations many, many times in the past.

Certainly used to be the case but cannot find it mentioned on in this years Regulations

That would be typical Speedway

 

Delete a regulation that makes sense whilst ignoring those that are a pile of s#!t and need changing 😠

 

It has been mentioned a few times on other threads when teams have looked to be making changes without challenge to it still being the case

 

Shanes would be a coup for any Championship side and even better for him if it was one he could only ride 7 matches for 😉😲

You should try going round Peterborough town centre , can't understand a word there saying it's full of eastern Europeans especially outside the job centre on benefits day.

a don't like loitering outside the 'job centre',,, they might get me in there (kidnap me) and threaten me with work :(
