Speedway in East Anglia would be a noTHING then. Who are the *alleged* backers. Can you tell who they are. Not who you got it from Waytogo posted, and I asked who he was talking about. Whats wrong with that ? Edited February 28, 2019 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted February 28, 2019 So who IS sponsoring the Panthers this year? Looks the most expensive team of all three of Busters teams, but I guess it doesn’t really matter? Lynn have new sponsors, Ipswich have Tru Plant putting their cash back in, so I guess it’s all for one and one for all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 47 Posted February 28, 2019 Ged wanted to sell. Buster was the only person interested and did the deal. Took them into the top league, Colin Pratt (one of the finest administrators the sport has even at his age) there to ensure everything goes smoothly and local man Carl Johnson stepping up his involvement with passion and commitment. Buster about to take a blade to the Showground to ensure the track is the best it can be for the likes of Andersen, Tungate and Cook to fly around there. Contract signed with the Showground last week. Rather be a Panthers fan than Hammers, Rockets or Comets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to argue with that, i just hope the change of race might makes it financially viable. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As yet no official announcement has been made with reference to Ged Rathbone or Neil Watson leaving there positions as promoters , I do think Panthers fans are entitled some explanation as to what is happening but won't hold my breath. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted February 28, 2019 I have reason to believe the team was not as expensive as many people think. Further there may well be a lot of regrets amongst the triumvirate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 47 Posted February 28, 2019 A new team sponsorship has been agreed thanks to the contacts of Colin Pratt. Announcement once formalities are complete. There will be an announcement regarding Ged and Neil once all those formalities have been completed. Yes fans deserve to be told what is happening regarding Ged and Neil and will be. Pretty sure Ged may say something in due course too. Cheer up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did Buster Chapman mention to you about the no holds barred interview with the Peterborough Evening Telegraph he would be doing after his return from New Zealand or has he conveniently put it to the back of his mind and hopes all fans will forget about it just like he has done Edited February 28, 2019 by New era Panthers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you have to equate that against the fact they have lost team sponsorship from T.Balfe as well as other sponsors and maybe now the team is more expensive than what was desired. Getting new sponsors interested can't be easy and to lose the main sponsor after they had already agreed a deal for 2019 must be a real blow for the club , just hope they can find a company that are willing to back them with a sizable deal otherwise the future after 2019 will not look so bright premier or championship for Panthers.

The future of Peterborough Panthers never looks bright after any season. The end of 2019 will be no different and we'll see the usual shall we/shan't that we see every year.
