Been many times thanks, home & away. Even the U21s & Women's game. 

Just can't lower my standards enough to go to Monmore Green ay'it

If Norwich was the nearest team to where you're from you should be supporting them.Mind you,United have got more supporters in Outer Mongolia than they have in Salford .

I know which is why we're stuffed imo.

Going to have a rider struggling to score well at No.2 all season now and our No.4 (Worrall) is never going to ride above his average on a consistent basis.

Of course he's not going to, he's a 6 point rider, if he was gonna ride above that average on a consistent basis, he'd be a 7 point rider!

Most promoters go for riders who are going to up their averages. Ben's will go up more than Batch's would. Ben will also have more match fitness than Batch as Batch doesn't even have a Champ place! 

That only works if you build to the points limit, otherwise Batchelor going from 5.9 to 6.0 is better for the team than Cook going from 4.1 to 5.1!

Can't believe so many fans are talking down Hans. They must have short memories.

Have people forgotten about the 2006 season? Hans was unbeatable and helped us beat the Reading Bulldogs.

17 years ago…… personally I’ll never forget that night but you can’t compare that Hans Andersen too the current

This completely.  I'd love to know the rationale behind him being the last man standing of dad's army

Blinded by loyalty / love to a point where neither side even considers leaving the other no matter how bad it gets.

We can now pencil Andersen in at Peterborough until he decides to retire now, Signing him on a 4.93 when you've got over 7.00 points left to use tells us everything we need to know about the clubs thinking behind the decision imo.

I think there is going to be some changes made. I know I said we’ve signed 7 riders… which we have but speedway is brutal and I believe we might see one or two new faces than the team we all believe before the season starts 

Management have to do something because they'll run at a massive financial loss otherwise.

They won't shift many season tickets with just the 3 riders announced and barely anyone will buy one if the team is 2 something under the limit containing both Andersen & Worrall.

Our management have talked a big game all winter so they've got to deliver the goods now.

Our "management" haven't said ANYTHING all winter, apart from announce the signings of Basso, Cook and Jenkins.

Any other riders linked with us are somewhere between informed rumours and pure guesses.

That depends on AEPG and whether their proposed planning application was submitted at the end of 2022 as they expected and went through unopposed? There was plenty of local opposition. If it all gets tricky and expensive for them then I don't think another season would be out of the question although it's clutching at straws.

The bloke behind it lives with the fairies, it’s words and pictures. No planning application submitted as of yet, likely to be refused on the grounds of lack of road infrastructure to support the increased volume of traffic, is what I have heard. IMHO it will never happen as he currently plans it.

The bloke that wants to build on the Showground, or Tomalin with his new site? Yes i've had a few watching the Man U game ;)
