    Wojdylo can't be in then because the punters won't put up with Buster putting out a KL side 1.35 under the limit especially when he's not paying out for Panthers riders in 24.

     

    Musielak 8.69

    MPT 5.13

    NKI 6.64

    Basso 6.25

    Tarasenko 6.94

    Jenkins or Rowe (RS)

     

    Leaves 6.35 so it has to be Wright, Brennan or Schlein for the final place imo.

     

    It wouldn't surprise me to see both MPT and Paddy in there. Given Buster brought him over for a spell last season, and MPT can't be dear. Money is an object at Lynn,, with Buster at the helm.

    As a Diamonds fan it pains me to agree... But I do.

    1. Tobias Musielak

    2. Charles Wright

    3. Niels Kristian Iversen

    4. Benjamin Basso

    5. Vadim Tarasenko

    6. Michael Palm Toft

    7. RS

    Good looking team imo. Not title contenders, but good nonetheless

    Agree. It's not to bad.  I'd rather Wojdylo over Toft tbh , but Tofty should be able to put something on his 5.13, if he is, and can stay fit. We desperately needed a re fresh after recent years, and I think a play off place is a must this time around. After the last few seasons, It's important to keep fans happy. Starting by winning your home meetings.:t:

    If that ends up being the top 5 . Wright is the rider they have to sign, out of those 3.

    I really don't like this Tomlin geezer. There's absolutely no way Buster walked away from Peterborough with £100k+ in his pocket, absolutely no chance. Not even half that. 

    Your not the only one.. Talk is cheap. I don't believe it either.. But it makes him look even more of a fool if he is correct, for not paying what Buster wanted pre season. That's if he was ever serious in the first place... Either way it don't do him any favours.

    Well if Tomalins claim is correct Buster made at least £100k profit at Boro last year so you would think there's a little wiggle room.......

    If it's true, maybe he should of backed his some of his pre season words, and bought it then :D

    Vad will be a great back up to a No1 at the AFA. Once dialled in he could average 8.5 -9 around there. The first thing is to win your home meetings. If he can up his away average by a point or so as well, then all good.

    Did he really need to announce Rob Lyon and Basso on the day of a rally, may be a little thing to many but comes across as insensitive 

    If i was a Panthers fan, then yes it would of come across as insensitive to me.

    Do you agree he gets blamed for some things undeservedly. As i explained in the previous post.?

    Not one word on the official pages supporting yesterday's rally or the save Peterborough Panthers quite telling if you ask me 

    I've not seen anything Flappy tbh. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but  to be fair, I've never said he has done enough or anything to help the Panthers cause with regards to campaigning . I back him on some things ,if i think i'm right, but not everything.  Mick Bratley has stood up for Buster twice within a week on here, on stadium issues (page 624) . And he is well respected, as you know yourself. As i have always said, he's far from perfect, but i believe he gets some undeserved slagging off at times. Which i guess is the case if MB has stuck up for him on the stadium situation.

    I think your right, it doesn't make any sense why is he holding onto a club he considers to finished/value less. He has stripped the assets (fence and lights) so the sale should be really straight forward unless of course he has taken the brown envelope.

    This is Mick Bratley's post on 11th Nov, page 624......... He is one person on here who is respected and close to this, and 1 of the 6 in the consortium.

    "The fence needed replacing during this close season anyway, it was rotten and held together by various bits and pieces.

    It’s important to note that AEPG instructed Buster to do this otherwise they would have employed contractors to do it and send him the bill. It’s been estimated that the removal of everything will cost £25k to £30k. Buster is most definitely not the bad guy here."

    As for that brown envelope theory, only time will tell. Everyone is just guessing right now.

    In other news Carl Johnson has just outed Buster Chapman on facebook.

    What great support the savepeterboroughspeedway has, and that proved that yesterday at our rally. Huge support for the survival of the club and a massive thank you to everyone that turned out in not the best conditions but I’m glad that didn’t stop you. A little disappointed that we’ve had no backing whatsoever from the official Peterborough Panthers Speedway, but it looks like we fight on alone for now.

     Isn't that common knowledge already. It certainly seems to be on here.

    Stevie Worrall 6.44 (I think) would also work nicely, if have a 5.00 rider in the side.

    Stevie's average was made up of 7.62 at Monmore last season, and 5.77 on his travels. C. Wright was 6.76 at BV and 6.48 on his travels. Both would fit. I'd take CW out of the 2. Harris and Lawson  also fit, and Harris would be my choice of the 4 mentioned, but he's off elsewhere.

    From the fallout of the AGM, it looks like we're going to be seeing a 7-team league next season:

    Belle Vue Aces

    Birmingham Brummies

    Ipswich Witches

    King's Lynn Stars

    Leicester Lions

    Oxford Cheetahs

    Sheffield Tigers

    If that ends up being the case then. The Brummies' seem to be struggling to pay their way in the Championship. Unless same big sponsor comes on board,  i fear they might not last the season in the Prem.

    If Oxford just did either the Champ or the Prem ,i think they would be ok. But to do both could be a disaster financially.

    Have to agree should have been handed over to the consortium months ago then 2024 could they could have had half a chance to have sorted it with stadium owners  it really does look like the sale has been block deliberately from where I’m sitting . 

    It was for sale before the season started..  You can't just give it away. It has a value.. If MT had bought it like he said he was going to do 10/11 moths ago, and make it the "Man City of speedway", you  might of had half a chance, and work on the new site underway that he was going to buy.... People seem to forget that bit.  As i said in a previous post, I hope MT steps up this time round ! ,  and a price that both parties are happy with can be agreed.

    If as some think, brown envelopes might be involved, we will find out soon enough. But as far as i know the club is still for sale, and negotiations are ongoing.

    That'd be Mick Bratley with no official position who is trying to save the club as well as helping to organise, and attending, the Save Peterborough Speedway rally on Saturday Nov 18. One assumes that Buster will be there to offer his support and also address the fans who've filled his coffers during his tenure. The AEPG shackles are off now so he can explain what he's been playing at throughout 2023.

    So are you saying MB isn't to believed, when he says things like

    " Trust me, it really isn’t like that" and 

    "The fence needed replacing during this close season anyway, it was rotten and held together by various bits and pieces.

    It’s important to note that AEPG instructed Buster to do this otherwise they would have employed contractors to do it and send him the bill. It’s been estimated that the removal of everything will cost £25k to £30k. Buster is most definitely not the bad guy here." 

    That i shouldn't believe what he is saying.. I thought he was 1 of the consortium of 6.

    If that turns out to be the case. I'd settle for the following...

    Tobi                                                                                        Tobi

    Basso                                                                                     Basso

    NKI                                                                                          Wright

    Tarasenko                                                                              Tarasenko

    King                                                                                         R Lambert   Just dreaming ;)

    Paddy Wojdylo                                                                        Wojdylo

    Rowe/Jenkins                                                                          Rowe/ jenkins

    i make it 40.57 after Kings -2.5%                                          40.68 after Wright/lambo -2.5%
