stratton 1,491 Posted January 5, 2013 Alot of people are missing the point here. Boro planned to include both Hans and KJB this year, but rule changes put paid to that. NO ONE knows what offers Hans was made, apart from the two parties involved. P'boro have signed riders observing the rules and regulations, its a shame other teams cannot do the same. Poole and Lakeside have assembled teams in the proper manner, it can be done ! Anyone who believes Bjerre has been kept in the dark about his place is seriously deluded. His place has never been in question, apart from the speculators on here who comment without having the facts. If so why hasn't he signed! It is January surely they know now at what level his fitness is.? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted January 5, 2013 Swindon should abide by the pathetic BSPA ruling but only difference being do not bother to sign them....let someone else line Frost and Mahoneys pockets....go elsewhere...i know who i'd rather spend the money on.....thanks to Hans and Troy for last year but would personally walk away from this ridiculous situation Not to mention we could stop watching the biased views of certain panthers posters....or undercover peterboro officials..... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could i just point out, P'boro bought Hans and Troy. How is recouping your outlay 'lining your pockets'. Did Mr Frost not BUY Troy from Swindon ? You want him back, then cough up.

His place has never been in question, apart from the speculators on here who comment without having the facts. I thought it widely known that Boro intended to use Bjerre, Harris and Sundstrom and the 2/20 ruling put paid to that. That is why Peterborough were talking to Coventry regarding a transfer for Hans, but ignoring our right to have first option. You contradict yourself. If Bjerre's place is not in doubt, and given Sundstrom already signed, then the other assets are surplus to requirements and were never in the equation. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted January 5, 2013 Personally, I believe the Panthers Owners and Promoters have already decided that 2013 will be their last year. After making the most noise last year, of the low attendances and the losing of vast sums, this will be the last chance to cash in on their assets. so, they want to get rid of all surplus riders. But the problem now, is that all the other promoters know the score and are not prepared to pay for something that they could get next year at a cut down price. Will be interesting to see how this turns out…………… 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a rumour about Harris, but im sure options were always open on that. It has never been confirmed that was a fact, although the Hans/Coventry link would confirm that was one option. Either way, rules must be adhered too, even tho the present system is not perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Robin 27 Posted January 5, 2013 simple question. Did you do a deal with Batch before Peterborough have you permission to talk to their asset? The only riders we have 'deals' with are those already having named as signed. Ironically one is a Peterborough asset that we asked for permission to speak to and which was granted. We asked for permission to speak to 3 others and that was denied. We are still waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
