Note: Don’t use burst water pipe as you’re in for it from the cartel. If you’re a cartel team though, go for it. 

You missed faulty/supply issue with tyres lol

Any chance of Panther moving to Swindon? There's a perfectly good track with a stadium being built around it an no Speedway team!

Doesn't fill the criteria: "The service provided by the facility is met by alternative provision that exists within
reasonable proximity: what is deemed as reasonable proximity will depend on the nature
of the facility and its associated catchment area;"

Really? 

Has anyone mentioned this to the last lot of Swindon Promoters? 

Sounds perfect for their needs...

You have to think that this change would have been more acceptable to the Leicester faithful had it been for two proven riders. Richie vs Bomber is, for me, pretty much like for like. We all know Bomber's entertainment value coming from the back, but total scoring potential says the two riders are similar.
Unfortunately, I think the same can be said for Troy Batchelor and Craig Cook. I can't see Craig maintaining a 5.96 average. Dropping below Jake Allen could still be on the cards.

The really sad thing, mathematically, is that Richie could almost have been brought in for Batch without releasing Bomber. The team total would have only been 0.40 over the permitted total. Perhaps if Bomber had been as bad as some people are making out, he'd still be in the team.

Possibly Cook has a better chance of staying above Allen than Batchelor?

He nearly quit but didn't and in fact wouldn't rule out working with Leicester/Dixon again

Not much of a story really 

What an absolute load of bottom gravy this is! Chris Harris ought to stay schtum now because if he continues he's at risk of making himself seem stupid and that would be a great shame because he is a speedway legend. I think what he was scoring for Leicester, is probably what he would be scoring for any premiership club. He's having a fantastic season with the long track so far, why tarnish that by pointless whingeing?

Judging by that I suspect you are Scottish and have a bit of a soft spot for fellow Scot Dixon...

I signed it yesterday and would urge all fans of all clubs to do the same.  It could be your team next.

Respectable score line tonight away at a decent side. Shame we didn’t have this team from the start of the season, poor team building with the inclusion of the tubby Worrall brother and Hans. Some home meetings to look forward to now and hopefully finishing on a high!

When you say 'finish on a high', you know you can't sign Nick Morris don't you?

Only had a very quick skim of that, I'm sure that all of that was considered when the Peterborough local plan was drawn up and adopted in 2019, hence the inclusion of LP30 and it's protection of Peterborough speedway as an existing culture, leisure, tourism and community facility. The developers are bound to put in supporting information, along with any planning application, to counteract the specifics of LP30. If and when their submission is verified by PCC and moves in to the public domain, it's then that the club will need an immediate and urgent big response from the fans. Primarily local supporters/residents will carry more weight but I guess the more the merrier. It'll also need the supporters club and their members to get onboard and help anyone (although should be leading in all honesty) who organises action as a show of club support (much like Save The Bees do).

Completely separate to the local plan. An application rather than a designation. 

This article explains further and I think this avenue needs to be considered by Peterborough and Wolves.

I've signed it but older people who I know have struggled with it so so I wouldn't expect the numbers to be high...I have to say it's not very user friendly and looks a bit dodgy.
