New era Panthers Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 44 minutes ago, Noodles said: To be fair watching Lakeside for the 134th time this year with understrength teams which barely resembled Panthers was hardly going to pull in the masses. And where was the promotion, the big build ups? Barely anything in social media. I am not so sure if there had been better media coverage of play offs / k/o cup It would have made that much difference to be honest . Looking back a few years ago at what Peter Oakes tried to do at Skegness and spent a small fortune and got absolutely nowhere makes you wonder is it worth it. The sport is dying out and trying to get new faces to come in is hard work. You only have to look how many clubs have gone to the wall over the past few years to bring this to realisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairboy Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 As a speedway fan living in south Buckinghamshire, Peterborough is easily the track I have visited the most as a 'neutral' supporter in recent years - mainly because you're always assured of a covered seat with a decent view. So, at the risk of stating the b. obvious, I'd certainly count myself among the many who would describe themselves as 'gutted' if the track closed. On another matter, it's interesting that the attendance for the Play-off SF was low. Aren't we always told 'the fans love the play-off system'? I would love it if we went back to the proper league championship system, and I would say the same about the Premiership too. If BT want some guaranteed end-of-season fixtures to broadcast, the Semis and Final of the KO Cup would surely fit the bill. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinderfella Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Is the statement saying it could be the last speedway event at Peterborough an indication that there may be problems with the landlords at The Showground perhaps not wanting speedway at all?

wealdstone Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 During the last few weeks and bearing in mind season tickets no longer being valid I have spent well over £200 on Panthers meetings and other things to do with the club only to be let down . Totally Betrayed.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 So we've broken even over the last couple of years. Does that factor in the Jack Holder money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the problem is that the owner spent pennies he couldn't afford in trying to buy success. Saw it at Glasgow with previous promotion trying to do that.

cityrebel Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 The lack of available dates at the showground, could be a big obstacle for any prospective new promoter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been problems for nearly 20 years but I've just been looking at PCC LP36 and the timing of the effects of that will decide when speedway isn't wanted any more. But as 4/5 years ago, there is no flexibility for a year out. If it finishes it finishes for good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers Promotion are obviously very wealthy people,but buying the Stadium and the surrounding land could prove a good business investment in the long term.Well done to them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
