Me neither. He's getting to the point where he can go over the top extremely quickly at his age. I had to laugh at this bit that I've just been reading in one of the Stars that my mate passes to me. Obviously this was made before Harris's signing at Leicester: Berwick are desperate to have me back but we will see what happens because it's been a hard slog this year on the family. My wife has had to look after the kids so much. I've been away for 32 consecutive weekends from March until last weekend that is not just Berwick but the long track as well and doing a bit of Poland. There is a big decision to be made not just for me but for the family as a whole. yet in February of this year he was saying (peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/other-sport/peterborough-panthers-star-bomber-harris-wants-to-race-in-120-meetings-next-season 24/2/22) Peterborough Panthers Chris Harris insists he wants a packed diary this year.With four extra meetings planned for Panthers and a contract with Polish club Poznan in addition to his second tier racing at Berwick, Harris has plenty on his plate. But he is always happy to take more bookings as he wants to make the most of his career as he approaches his 40th birthday in November. “I want to be as busy as possible,” Harris said. “In the past I’ve done 120 meetings in a year and if I can get back up to that sort of number I’ll be happy. What day of the week is it? sensational to watch when he’s on fast reliable engines .. but when his rocket blows he doesn’t look nowhere near the same rider Most riders on poor equipment would struggle. |

Going by flappy & and couple of others on the BSF you'd think that someone was leaking like a sieve? Without full disclosure and ongoing commentary I doubt that fans will ever be happy. Fans/employees etc are usually the last to know & have to be thankful for whatever snippets are given, as well as the final outcome. That's the way of the world Rodders and speedway is particularly crap at times with its communication. Not much that we can do about it I'm afraid, it'll never change. If it's not Michael Tomalin then the credibility of some posters is down the toilet  He seems to be the only runner in the field so there must be a lot of i's to dot & a lot to t's to cross  Hopefully and judging by some comments today we won’t be waiting too long. Panthers news on its way   |

Hopefully and judging by some comments today we won’t be waiting too long. Panthers news on its way Like most I am surprised it has taken this long to sort it out, I just hope the wait is worth it. It does state in todays star that final matters are close to being resolved. |

Yes Injury prone is a concern, but a much better choice than Nicholls, Oyster, MPT and Andersen.

Can't believe that you don't know a team Dick. I've just been given one in confidence which agrees with many of the BSF musings. It's from a source who's hardly in the know but speaks to a few other supporters. About the only place the news seems to avoid is official channels and potential new/floating customers Sorry can't post it Rodders as it is "in confidence" although the worst kept secret generally by the looks of it and you can have a stab at building it from the BSF posts, so please don't ask atm  |

Looks like Iversen and Tungate then. |

Looks like Iversen and Tungate then. Funnily enough Tungate was an immediate curve ball. 3 were confirmed (not him) and 4 were apparently under offer (also not him) so if he has signed then that could be just one change or two or three from that rumoured team Tungate is a good watch at the EoES so would be happy enough to see him in 2023. |

You'd think that we can do better but flappy thinks not I actually think iversen at 1 will be far better than Harris at 1 no problem with tungate either will win heats at home what was sadly lacking last season .holder will be ok not convinced about the r/s would like to see Rowe myself |

Usually it's a drip feed of signings that we already know but that's yet to come any time soon. Panthers using ground breaking communication drip feed of riders that are off Danish rider Michael Palm Toft has joined top-flight rivals King’s Lynn Star leaving veteran Hans Andersen as the only 2021 hero to remain at the East of England Arena. Palm Toft’s input in 2022 was severely limited by injury. Scott Nicholls (Oxford) and Chris Harris (Leicester) have also moved elsewhere, Jordan Palin is injured, while Bjarne Pedersen and Ulrich Ostergaard have retired. Panthers, who are understood to be in discussions with a potential new owner, are the only club not to announce a single rider for 2022, although a club statement issued on Monday night read: “Panthers can assure fans that hard work is taking place behind the scenes to progress matters on the team front and build a fully competitive side for 2023, and the club thanks everyone for their patience."We will make announcements as soon as all relevant matters are finalised.” peterboroughtoday/peterborough-panthers-lose-another-star-rider-to-a-big-rival-but-the-club-insist-they-are-building-a-competitive-squad-for-2023 (13/12/22)

As we have no idea of anything & Mick George has nothing to do with Panthers (perhaps a bit of sponsorship, going by the fence advertising) that we know of. All he did was allegedly was be the main man in the greyhound stadium current ownership/development. Assume that'll pass to new owners which still, as it stands, will have no effect on Panthers. |

I hope so. I don’t know Mick George business or that they have been sold to Hansen’s. But they have always been excellent at marketing.

So has flappy managed to guess the right team yet I've just read the last few pages of the BSF Panthers 2023 thread to see what's going on? It gave me a headache. |

So has flappy managed to guess the right team yet Who knows, certainly not flappy. When you predict teams with so many different riders it’s possible you might get 1 or 2 right. The Peterborough thread with the usual suspects is painful reading. |
