Arch Stanton Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 11 minutes ago, Mimmo said: My wife and I used to come to Peterborough a lot even though we live the other side of King's Lynn, and that was made possible because she had a Blue Badge, and we could bring the car into the stadium. Sadly, she died a few weeks ago, so the Blue Badge had to be handed back to the authorities. But as I'm now very lonely, I thought I will still have some evenings at Peterborough, and did so yesterday. However, I'm 78-years old. Diabetic which has resulted in me being in severe pain in walking in my legs & feet, not to mention unsteady, and I'm asthmatic, which leaves me out of puff, so with much regret, I will have to discontinue my visits. The walk from the car park to the grandstand, is about a hundred steps or more to much for me now, and I realise that I'm probably not the only one like that. So I wish the Panthers all the best for the 2022 season, apart from when you race against King's Lynn..LOL. Enjoy watching the racing on one of the best circuits in the country, and just wish that I could be there from time to time. Good Luck to you all. So very sorry for your loss, RIP to your wife.

His style reminded me of Mario Jirout for some reason. Maybe once he gets into team meetings with the help and experience of the older brigade will bring him on being a dane im sure the danish trio will take him under there wing and help him settle and he's got the use of the Lyon's effect to help him relax and hopefully show what hes about .

He may do over time, enough to be a trump card at reserve from the off I'm not sure. Nicholls seemed slow and Ostergaard was his old self can beat anyone but will then get beat by a rising start and a mechanical failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa-colette Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Sure Ben will be fine, he is good friends with Hans anyway, is he not? I'm sure Hans will help with any advice. Though be better if he doesn't have the pressure on him as he is hard on himself as it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apply for a blue badge yourself, sounds like you qualify for one. Sorry for your loss... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to wait I think he is what you need, he is reserve rider who will score a lot of important points for Peterborough, you can't afford to wait after one meeting at a new track! Who do you think you could of got on his average? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think you could of got on his average? Of course I completely get what you mean. My point is more a case of re-signing Ostergaard bon his average has weakened the bottom end. That isn't Basso's fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
