Crump99 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Teams haven't been confirmed yet. Not surprised if this is correct from the Workington website - the joys of Sunday speedway? "Saturday's home clash against Newcastle sees the Diamonds using Chris Harris as a guest at number one in place of Robert Lambert, who will be returning from his World Under-21 Championship round in Germany. Meanwhile, on Sunday Peterborough will be operating Rider Replacement for Chris Harris, who is competing in the British Masters Grasstrack Championship that day!" It's about an hour's flight from Germany isn't it Edited September 9, 2017 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump99 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) A bit more than that to be fair My sister flew back last week and said that it was two hour pre flight grief for a 55 minute flight home? So is Holder riding, is BWD fit, and is Harris attending? We await the news. Edited September 9, 2017 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about an hour's flight from Germany isn't it Very poor communication from Panthers management yet again and it's not the way to encourage people to attend , the p/a or lack of is a disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 A bit more than that to be fair Just checked and I think that she missed an hour. But still not a good excuse from Friday to Saturday evening meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilWatson Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Why are Panthers using R/R surely they have had enough time to arrange a suitable guest.. Apathy?? Cheaper?? The rules? As Chris Harris isn't Peterborough's No1, the facility is RR if no other rider is absent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he you wouldn't think so , there was me thinking he hadn't got the time to fit in at Peterborough along with all his other engagements, I'd like to say welcome back usually but in this instance I wont bother. As far as i'm concerned he's treated Panthers fans like door mats . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 The rules? As Chris Harris isn't Peterborough's No1, the facility is RR if no other rider is absent.Much as I support grasstrack, why are Peterborough allowed any sort of facility for Chris Harris's absence, be a guest or rider replacement?

wealdstone Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Normal lack of information yet they blithely expect us all to turn up to watch whatever they see fit to give us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New era Panthers Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Normal lack of information yet they blithely expect us all to turn up to watch whatever they see fit to give us. Just over 24 hours to go and still no info on website I suppose no publicity is better than bad publicity is the philosophy from the management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Well if Harris ain't riding then I ain't gonna bother..I'm not paying to go and watch billy big time Holder when I can't stand him..doubt he can even remember where the Showground is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His match previews rarely come out the day before the event more likely first thing on the day in question If I was promoting I'd be having a word with the press officer or finding a new one. It should be 24/36 hours minimum? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
