Seems I am "forbidden" to access the site anybody else having problems? Yup I did Rodders. Upstair PC said no access but was ok on the laptop downstairs. Very confusing stuff! I have similar problems with the BSPA site (others seem not to) so you do wonder when you tend not to tread the everything is triffic line  |

It is rather strange this. Unable to gain access from a shortcut on my home page but able to get into the site from a Google search.

My "bookmark" still works, although I haven't used it for ages. Can't believe nobody has posted on it since December!

I think that Rodders is on about the official website whereas you're on about what once was the official forum (pre Frost and Facebook days). That's my take on it anyway? |

yes, guess you're right. Never had a problem with the official website either, so same comment really. Still amazes me the number of people who visit the official forum (including me!) yet no one bothers to post!

I used to think that a while ago but had forgotten about it until it was mentioned on this thread. All downhill from here www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.797.2 |

Finally realised it was a link from Jan 2010. Doh!!!
Really don't understand why any club would not want an official forum. It's free feedback, supporters interaction - understand often a lot of Blix but managed correctly it should / could work to their benefit.

It's free feedback, supporters interaction - understand often a lot of Blix but managed correctly it should / could work to their benefit. I think that forums had been a problem at Peterborough for some time and given promoters and management grief (the Rivals.net & colpanthers primarily). I know because I was on them, wasn't an angel and never got a Christmas card from Wayne S, Tetley or Bratley. I did get several red hot PMs though that carried an 18 age restriction. The problem with the forums was that they were a bit of a free for all and not very well moderated. Bratley was in the process of sorting out the Panthers forum (I know because I was looking after it, but I was also posting which was perhaps not the best way to go. I think that might have tipped the balance for RF when he found out? If what I was told is correct.) to align it with the positive Readypower brand, and the club was on the way IMHO to be everything it never became under the Bratley free installed management team. However, next thing the forum was blackballed to some extent and Bratley was off. The rest is history. As with most things with Dorset Panthers these days it's somewhat galling to see the branding on the Dorset Panthers forum! - must be a prize for how many times you can get Readypower in your post. I suppose disengaging the forum and putting up the shutters was the best option at that time but with experience they would perhaps have done things differently. |

The trouble is the Readypower Management didn't appreciate the feedback they were Invariably getting for poor results and decisions. |

I read Mick Bratley's article in last week's programme and in general I agree with him reference " keyboard warriors". I look at our website regularly and whilst I understand that this is a useful and easy media for you to exchange news and views and is also meant meant to be fun, I would certainly like to see some serious feedback from you all as well. For instance it would be a great help to me and my management team if you could let us know your ideas or views on what we can do to improve your club. What you do and don't like etc. We are here to turn this into a great speedway club for all of you and this is one way to get your voice heard and your opinions expressed. Likewise concentrate your thoughts and comments on the positive rather than negative regarding the our team - win or lose. Negative words, actions and thoughts will always end with negative results. Whilst we have not had a good start to the season, not helped by injury and absence, we are coming through that and things are on the up we have seen tremendous individual performances from many of our riders through this difficult time and team spirit is high. Not once have they complained even though they well knew the task that they faced with a weakened team was a huge burden to carry. We have recently been boosted by the welcome return of Karol Zabik and shortly Claus Vissing will be back as well. Then you will see some results! So please give them your full support at all times, whether it's here at the Showground, on our website, wherever you are.borospeedway.proboards/panthers-programme-forward-2009 |

Most forums have a mix of those that can debate, know it alls, bullies, wind up knobs and the usual planks (BSPA forum a perfect example). That's a wide variety of opinions to please and assume why most clubs give it up, in addition to inside secrets not open for debate. If managed / moderated smartly an official forum should / could be beneficial. Unfortunately emotion usually creates confrontation.

And it doesn't help when Kenneth Bjerre is the first name on the team sheet year on year (despite popular alternatives), Tetley remains in post doing a poor job and the Director of Speedway, who replaced a competent & popular member of the management team, was generally silent and nowhere to be seen. What could possibly go wrong.

What could possibly go wrong. Perfect example why so many clubs avoid official forums. They could provide responses to all of the above but appear to prefer silence. By the way, how has Carl J crept in the back door as now reported assistant TM? Last I heard he had parted. Or have I been away too long? |

Nope, it's a good point and caused me to sit up and take note. I thought exactly the same when I read it. Did you both miss this CARL IS BACK! Friday July 15, 2016 PETERBOROUGH are delighted to welcome Carl Johnson back into their management team tonight. Johnson stood down as 'T Balfe Construction' Panthers team boss in the early weeks of the current season due to a combination of work and family commitments. But he is now able to return and will work alongside team manager Jason Attwood, starting when Peterborough host Berwick in a must-win fixture at the East of England Showground (7.30pm). "It is very pleasing to have Carl back on board," said promoter Ged Rathbone. "It was a blow to lose him earlier in the season, but we ensured the door stayed open. "He is now in a position to return and I'm sure he will work very well with Jason - just as he did with Dale Allitt last season. "We're going through a difficult spell at the moment and hopefully Carl being back will give everyone a boost." Peterborough sit fourth in the Premier League standings and could climb into second spot with a victory tonight. |

It would appear so. With two meetings that week I'd have been looking for team news etc so if I did open that it didn't register as particularly relevant for my purposes.

Thanks BCD. Yes I missed the commutation. I was away but often forget to look on the website - usually see the news via their FB link.

I presume you mean the BSF forum, which is now widely monitored by the BSPA members who now quickly respond to any major criticism ( big change from previous years) It's not an easy job to successfully moderate an official forum ( I speak from experience) and I am sure Rigsby would say the same. |

Yes sorry the BSF. Agree not an easy job. Most threads on the BSF usually lead to childish arguments - easy to get dragged in when the bully boys twist your words to suit. A Team forum should be a very good opportunity to communicate directly with the fans but understand your point and why many just give up. |
