Surely this is not the way to entice the fans back..... Utter shambles...... Like so many things nobody asks the next question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Peterborough`s team and their riders reasons for not turning up put speedway at a new low, I watched Ben barker last night complete all his rides at Berwick and rode well, as for Garrity, total embarrassment with this broken down van carry on.

The Club was handed over with a fine 1-7, good season ticket sales and a complete fixture list - and with every opportunity to succeed this season.

Racin Jason 72 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I’m expecting a full enquiry into the whereabouts of garrity and tungate. And also the overall strength of the side put out. Im expecting also a broom and a large carpet to be be in attendance !!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be an unattatched rider similar to what we had at Edinburgh in the KO Cup when Garrity's van broke down, apparently. Danny Phillips, also, broke down this week en route to the IOW where the reserves covered his rides. At IOW the reserves were only allowed to cover one of his four rides and we had three riders only in three races. If Belle Vue had wanted they could have used a Tac Sub in one of the races but the Tac Sub was used elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Understood Neil just the terminology. Its a shame The season went Pete Tong with injuries to Hans and BWD. Most clubs would struggle losing riders like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 1 hour ago, NeilWatson said: Panthers have ridden nine home meetings, as have all PL Clubs (Wolves and Belle Vue slightly more). Are the other Clubs’s riders unable to invest too? You know very well what I mean Neil the big gap in home fixtures is causing Peterborough riders issues and as is usual false promises being made to them.
