The city club’s Premiership and Premiership Supporters’ Cup fixtures were confirmed this morning.
The campaign kicks off with a 50th anniversary meeting at the East of England Arena on Sunday, March 15 and the first competitive action is four days later when A47 rivals King’s Lynn visit Alwalton for a cup tie.

Club owner Keith Chapman said: “It’s a busy March and April for the boys but it means they can really get stuck into their racing.
“We feel sure it is going to be an exciting season and we are determined to put on the best entertainment package we possibly can.”
Now all Panthers need is a team. They still only have four confirmed riders – Hans Andersen, Chris Harris, Michael Palm Toft and Bradley-Wilson – in place for 2020.
