It is almost unbelievable the total disregard for the paying public shown by the Mafia and the seeming contempt in which we are regarded. I spoke to Neil Watson on Friday night who assured me that he and Ged were still the promoters. I cant see that he would lie to me on this matter. y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strange that we have 3 promoters that fail to communicate with each other and the team manager is the only one making official club statements. It gets more like a Whitehall farce by the day . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted February 18, 2019 Once you are owned lock. stock and barrel by Buster Chapman, he has you over a barrel! And a Sargasso sea begins to build up so that very little information on who, what where and when seeps out. Lock it all down tight is Buster's way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's run badly it'll be his pocket and reputation taking a big hit whereas the punters can just spend their money elsewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there's nothing to say then say nothing is often the best policy but there is usually no smoke without fire and they'll all be aware of the speculation. A general news item of some sort that incorporates the topic wouldn't be too difficult to put together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There wouldn't be enough hours in the day to keep putting out press releases/news regarding speculation,rumours especially that arise from this forum.If Neil and Ged are still the promoters and nothing has changed why should the club have make a news item to say all these rumours are untrue.As i said not enough hours in the day to keep putting out news bulletins regarding rumours that 90% of the time start on here. Now if they have left then things are different and you would expect the club to make an announcement straight away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remind me, how many Lynn riders has he announced for the new season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted February 18, 2019 Four out of seven and it is nowhere near March yet! Buster is expecting a substantial increase in average attendances due to his dynamic "leave 'em waiting" marketing technique. There are several weeks before opening night 2019.

Drip feeding it is what you want to do when you have a few " ringers" lined up, or a team like Wolves or Boro.. IMHO it looks a bit silly. We know who the riders are, because the other teams are complete. If Buster owns the Panthers and pays the wages, then why wasn't their team drip fed. One of the 1st teams declared, and one of the best ?? Edited February 18, 2019 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted February 21, 2019 6 hours ago, Noodles said: T Balfe no longer team sponsors Maybe they had a close working relationship with Ged and were expecting that to continue? Would possibly add fuel to the existing rumour that Ged is no longer involved. Might have nothing to do with it of course but you have to wonder. Been one turbulent winter this one! Just seems like one balls up after another and we’re all waiting for next weeks instalment. Whats the odds that the next move is to release another “expensive” rider due to “unforeseen circumstances” i.e the withdrawal of a major sponsor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
