IT'S a big day for Peterborough promoter Ged Rathbone.

The 'T Balfe Construction' Panthers supremo celebrates his 50th birthday.

Rathbone, a businessman based in the North East, stepped in during late 2014 when the club's future was unclear. He then completed a full takeover last winter.

All connected to Peterborough Speedway are hugely grateful to Rathbone for his efforts in ensuring the club continues to thrive.
