Now this. I like Peterborough as a club and have always enjoyed my trips to the EoES but you do wonder just how long the club can survive for. Certainly hasn't been a..... Goodyear.....

Either a faulty batch of tyres of the track has some sharp rubbish on it. Surely you would see any debris on the track causing a problem to this extent.

truthsayer Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Speedway's done next year. Hard to imagine clubs will be able to rustle up enough funds to pay the electricity bills, let alone all the other rising costs affecting business right now.

Haza Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Joking aside £20 for 10 heats doesn’t = value for money - really am finding it difficult to see how the sport can survive in the UK sadly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunce Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 I thought I'd seen it all in almost 60 years of watching speedway, but "no tyres" available is a new one on me! Surely somebody's head has to roll over this monumental cock up? The fans that paid full price to watch this must be livid. Almost difficult to believe, but then this sport is renown for shooting itself in the foot. Can you wonder the general public can't take it seriously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted August 29, 2022 Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 Teams get 9 tyres each at Peterborough (up till this year it was 14) because of the circuit shape and speed, 3 other tracks have the same allocation because they wear tyres more than the other U.K. tracks. I was told they didn’t have enough tyres left to complete the meeting, most of the riders were wearing a tyre edge down per race. Tyres are clearly not up to the job, we have had several instances of problems like this at Peterborough in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
