tyler42 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Bomber was different class today on a racers track... hats off Surely he should be. He was a full time GP rider up to last year!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Where has this £10k figure come from?  Absolute nonsense.  Maybe if other clubs developed riders like Peterborough then they may earn incentives from Torun.  Torun would rather field a donkey than sign any Ipswich rider.  Ipswich need to raise their game.  What's Ipswich got to do with it?

Gavan Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 The crux of the matter is that Peterborough have developed Jack Holder into a rider that's simply too good for the 2nd tier of British Speedway. Â Anybody who scores paid 16 at Leszno shouldn't be riding in the Championship. Â Thankfully he is and we need to enjoy every single minute we catch of him, he's a future world champion. Peterborough have 2 riders to good for this level............but your still only 6th...........your management are shocking at team building as proved by the number of changes you make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to think of anyone since Ryan Sullivan and Simon Stead that Peterborough have developed???  Why bring Ipswich into it? The club that brought along 4 top British riders in Chris Louis , Mark Loram, Danny King and Scott Nicholls. As well as other stars over the years, Rickardsson, Doncaster, Sigalos, Sanders, Davey.  I could go on and on little boy.  Im lost why Ipswich need to raise their game, currently in the play offs again while your team are struggling in mid table. Then again this season you havent used your quota of 24 riders.  Now i know the school holidays end early September have we really got to put up with your crap until then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawks 1975 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I thoroughly enjoyed another entertaining fours featuring some brilliant races, especially in the final, and must congratulate the majority of riders for putting on such a show. Credit also to the Panther's promotion for providing a track that allowed them to do it over 32 heats on a warm and windy afternoon - no easy task.  I believe the fours is nearly always a great days racing because the track at Peterborough encourages it, and because , with the top four of each side, each race has four riders of a similar standard, with any one of them capable of winning it. Surely always the best recipe for great racing.  However, I am concerned that if we are not careful, that formula is at risk.  Last year's hugely entertaining weekend saw the first dangerous signs when certain riders opted out of riding on the Sunday due to the flat rate payment on offer. The replacements were not of the same standard.  Clearly some of the better riders are not happy riding for a flat rate £200 when they might have five rides. Possibly one or two of those missing with injuries might have ridden had there been league points/money available. On the other hand, £200 for just two rides..... Perhaps the BSPA should pay more for those who reach the final stages? Some find it wrong that riders like Kennett last year, Cook and Schlein complain, but they are the guys expected to entertain - and usually do. Do we want this top event going ahead in future years without the top guys just because of penny pinching by the powers that be? The BSPA need to get the revenues right, and then pay a sensible rate to ensure all of the riders WANT to give of their best on the day.  Yesterday we were privileged to witness superb racing throughout in my opinion from Harris, Ostergaard, Wright and Howarth, with special races from Ben Barker, Ellis Perks and Aaron Summers, Cameron Heeps, Rory Schlein, Josh Grajczonek, Kevin Doolan and Jake Allen to mention just a few.  I want to see similar in future, with all the top boys giving their all. It needs to be sorted now before it is too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 We'll win more than Ipswich this season. By breaking the rules in the fours. Â Certainly wont be the league!!!!! Â And surely with future World Champ Holder and Harris you should walk the pairs!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 I had an absolute ball yesterday , okay my poor wallet tells me i had too many £4-50 pints , but it's all part of the fun . I understand folk getting all uppity and moaning about home track advantage , maybe that does play a part in these things , but who cares - what a track it is . I cant think of anywhere else i'd rather have the fours to be , completly worth getting back home at 4 in the morning having been there and enjoyed the day . Did i feel cheated by all the withdrawels ? did i heck . Great racing , great company , ok over-priced beer , but once again a great and enjoyable day out at the fours - thank you Peterborough and well done on your deserved victory . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Your right about the track always produces great racing. The semi's weren't that wonderful , but the final more than made up for it . It's a match made in heaven for the speedway enthusiast , the Peterborough track and Chris Harris . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Captain Marvel...................I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the showground. The presentation was pretty slick although the PA systems could do with being turned down a bit!! Â NO! I always use my Peterborough Sunday afternoon visits as a method of avoiding having my ears syringed. Love their music. Â Â Â .......Shads...............From what I've heard Belle Vue suffers from over officious stewarding. I prefer the wide open spaces at the EOES. You can relax on a picnic chair, bring your own food and drink and move freely around all parts of the stadium. Â Yes I agree. Not only that but also take your 4 legged friend if you wish. I didn't go yesterday but I know someone who took their Greyhound and I'm sure there were others as there are normally at least 10 there for league matches.

WembleyLion Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I can understand how the deal may have be beneficial to Torun and certainly Holder and although Rathbone seems to have received/ been promised money from Torun I wonder how he has calculated the offset of this money against the potential loss of revenue as a result of fans who may not now bother turning up to watch the Panthers or has he just assumed there will be insufficient impact on any future attendances?

Crikey you are not wrong there mate Geordie idiot . also the PA system was way to loud in the stands.. Â Great performance by the Panthers and the Bears - shame the Bitches and Tiggers couldn't motivate themselves after looking good in the Semi finals. Â I would say that the Final produced the best racing I have witnessed in following this sport for 43 years... ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 There are very few if any that support what Mr Rathbone did re Holder and his absence, but I fail to understand how some can claim that Panthers won through cheating or breaking the rules. It is very clear that Panthers team was considerably weaker than it would have been if Holder had of been there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
