TOMALIN STEPS UP WITH PANTHERS

PETERBOROUGH have announced major financier Michael Tomalin is set to join the club’s backroom team – as well as providing a substantial additional sponsorship package.

The lifelong Panthers fan will become a promoter of the Premiership outfit alongside Carl Johnson subject to a successful application to British Speedway Promoters Ltd.

Tomalin said: “On the sponsorship side we’ve completed a dual package deal for the Panthers involving both City Auction Group and PurpleRock, and those contributions will be matched between the two companies to ensure Panthers have financial stability throughout the 2023 season.

“In addition to the wonderful backing we get from Crendon as team sponsors it will ensure we’re able to put the right riders on the right equipment to challenge for the Premiership title.

“I’m also delighted to advise I’m applying to become a promoter along with Carl, which I’m delighted about as we have forged a great friendship in recent seasons. It’s an exciting move in the right direction to support the club and ensure we make a significant difference.”
