Peterborough were never going to be the hosts, apparently, due to not being able to get the Showground

More like Ged told the BSPA could go swivel.

Think it's more the case that Panthers don't make much money out of the fours, & Ged is fed up with the BSPA.

Lets hope we get a new chairman and vice chairman that are fair and un biased and are knowledgeable enough to take the sport forward with clarity that was promised as little of this has been seen under the present establishment.

where it's got panthers ??? , its not helped them build a decent side  has it  ??? if you keeping  5h1tting  on a doorstep you'll end up stepping in it  , looking at panthers  side  they've  stepped in a heap of it . so what's ged   won  out this battle  ??? another upcoming season of uncertainty

I think you're right.

While its a very reasonable point to suggest that Rathbone (with the backing of the SCB) has forced the BSPA to change an unfair and illegal rule, all it has gained Peterborough is a rider on a hugely inflated average.

What colour do you want your 3 legged unicorn in? Getting that would be a more reasonable expectation.....

Exactly, Buster and co have made a dog's breakfast of the job but they are the latest in a long line of chairmen and committees to do the same.

don't think nicholls (be had a good season if he gets anywhere near 8.5) is the problem with the team

I think it will always be a problem if you sign a rider knowing his average will almost certainly drop by a point or more. The idea is to improve averages or at least maintain them.

Having said that, Nicholls might not be the only problem.

In isolation that's all Peterborough may have gained but since Holdergate the BSPA haven't been allowed to run in their usual unnacountable self interest manner, so in the longer term Rathbone's fights might benefit everybody.

The mantra always was riders who want to ride for the club and riders who would improve their average. They've probably met the first part for 2018 but have seemingly been unable to overall meet the second criteria.

But how many would've had offers from other clubs?
