Peterborough Panthers 2016

Recommended Posts

So have the Frosts given up on Panthers altogether? If so how much two purchase the club from them?

If the Echo article is accurate the rider assets appear to have been transferred:

 

PROMOTER Matt Ford is certain Back to the Future-fanatic Hans Andersen will rewind to his trail-blazing days at Poole Pirates – so much so he has committed to a two-year deal for the Dane.

Ford confirmed his first winter recruit is set to retain his place in Poole’s septet for 2017 “on the understanding British speedway does not throw up anything untoward in its rules” and will be granted a testimonial due to his standing on Peterborough’s retained list, currently held by Pirates.

Out of order imo.

No Readypower sponsorship or no gift aid from the fans could spell trouble at Peterborough this year plus no number 1 rider, oh dear

Havvy SNR has stated that there are no 8.50 riders around anywhere, so will be building a team under the limit. So do we have a secret weapon or are we as equally screwed?

Maybe Peterborough have one signed up already. Just because Havvy snr can't find one doesn't mean they don't exist!

Completely agree, and Havvy SNR isnt the sharpest tool around either, just hope we have something lined up.

You would hope that is the case, otherwise why sign Lambert? You would assume the number 1 was sorted first, if not then any that do exist can now name their price - or we understrength.

I think you have a good idea of who last rider will be, realistically when you have two spots left and a reasonable number of points to play with you don't just sign a lower average rider and then hope you can use the remainder - any sensible promotion would plan for both places and act accordingly. I put your promotion in the "sensible" bracket ;)

 

may have given your promotion too much credit - and certainly doesn't apply to another one closer to me!!!
