Peterborough Panthers have appointed Peter Oakes as their director of speedway.

Oakes was previously promoter at The East of England Showground from 1992 to 1998, but most recently he has been co-boss at Coventry Bees.

Oakes has spent five-and-half successful years at Brandon, but he is now linking up with Peterborough - where he will run the club on behalf of owner Rick Frost.

"I will be looking to add a more complete entertainment package and we have discussed and we will be exploring new ideas," he said Oakes.

"I will in conjunction with Rick Frost and Team Manager Trevor Swales be putting together next year's team although I don't officially start in the role until December 1.

"It's an exciting challenge for me and one I am really looking forward to, we spent hours talking over ideas and we both want to improve things for the benefit of Peterborough and its supporters."
