Follows the Chapman owned and run history. "My way or the highway" has long been the accepted manner of doing things at King's Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Just about six weeks to go before tapes up and it looks like a world of crap to still happen now they have no team sponsors. Edited February 21, 2019 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Which Peterborough rider are you hoping will wing his way to Ipswich this time,or will Buster fill one of his empty spots at Lynn.

Reliant Robin 492 Posted February 21, 2019 Wow, this thread took a nosedive! Back in the top flight where you should be, solid looking team capable of challenging for honours, stability in ownership along with an old hands Promoter who knows the sport inside out. Granted, communication seems to be somewhat lacking at this moment in time but reading this thread you'd think the Panthers were about to shut up shop.

It's not the fans who have created this atmosphere, it's the non existence of public relations from the management who seem to think giving fans the mushroom effect is the latest fashion trend 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could well be if the rumours about Buster's backers turn out to be true. Speedway in East Anglia would be a noTHING then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted February 27, 2019 As a neutral i will miss my occasional sunday trips to the showground. I might do a couple of meetings there next season. A weekday race night presents a logistical nightmare for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers fans know nothing, our management whoever they may be don't think we should be in a position to understand what's been going on and as long as we turn up for home meetings and pay our admission fee . Then everything will be just fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
