He announced the KL team one by one over several weeks and now he’s sacking the Boro riders one by one. Genius Think Boro have got off lightly. In another media scoop Buster has announced that Ipswich will have just two bikes this season: Edited March 29, 2019 by DC2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most will now wish it was Gomoilski , another slap in face for fans. What a ruddy hames 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukas 911 Posted March 29, 2019 Colin really seems like a Pratt.."it wasn't us it was them"... really???...this management team seems like it really wants to lower the crowds and excitement at our club. Let's have this great team so everyone buys a season ticket then lower the budget and swap some riders around...pretty awful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,253 Posted March 29, 2019 When the weatherman said on TV this morning that Summers coming, little did we know it was a hint to Peterborough signing a rider. Media Genius Or What!!! 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalterPlinge 657 Posted March 29, 2019 So what's happened to Gomolski? It was supposedly a done deal on Wednesday. Could he not get a mechanic? At this rate they'll be having a twitter vote to decide who goes in the team, never mind heat 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have spent the last fifteen years as a subcontractor and a full time employee and not once got forced to wear a companys logo whilst subbying into them. Maybe different up North or times in the UK have changed now as I left five years ago of course. But if a company isnt willing to take you on the books full time, then its extremely rare to be asked to wear their hard hats/jackets/body warmers etc . Honestly I think I am going to regret this however here goes, Working in London in the late 90's early 2000's all of the large sites had sub contractors branded up with the main contractors logo's on; we even threw a Scaffolding Contractor off site for displaying a company board off the scaffold he had just erected, the contracts these smaller companies signed up to (and individual tradesmen for that matter) stated they had to use the branded kit as provided by the main contractor and were not allowed to advertise on the main contractors site; so its not something that just happened recently "Up North" its all about brand and image which professional businesses know all about. It just takes one turd in a swimming pool to collapse that reputation built up over years of use, So I would suggest it is how professional the company you are working for are; and who pays your wages; who dictate the terms of reference; and when working on high profile MOD. NHS. Banking and other big Corporation and Corporate sites you want your workforce smart and tidy and looking the part (Professional). However if you are plastering Mrs Miggins extension put up by the local builder from the dreaded white van brigade not caring if the backside is hanging out from the back of the trousers he is wearing covered head to toe in white spots from the silicone they have been using well so be it; but again that wouldn't be on one of my jobs and because we pay top rates and pay on time I get no complaints whatsoever from any subbie we use be that an individual or a company; and if they didn't like it well they can go elsewhere and when the work has dried up because they couldn't follow the rules well more fools them.

But really?) 8 hours ago, maneacat said: Don’t believe for one minute it’s all/just about sponsors logos. More to this than we are being told AS PER USUAL! You are spot on with this; after all Craig wasn't told he couldn't have his sponsors on his Kevlar's and kit (he has stated as much in his press release) he stated his issue was where they had to go and the style and format that they had to be in; which to be fair isn't that unreasonable a request from the P/Boro promotion who are after all his employer and the provider of his race suit. However I have been informed that the main issue as to why the spat occurred; was as ever; over money; and to be fair an issue Craig has previous form on. Bottom line was a deal had been done with an outgoing promoter that was contrary to the instructions they had received from the club owner, (look no further than the Bomber fiasco a couple of months previous) but you are right you will never be told the real reason.

That's right blame Ged now he's gone no wonder he pulled out when he did can't say as I would blame him for that he could see what was coming. Now the puppets have got to paper over the cracks by announcing a rider who has never really pulled any trees in the top league, good at championship level but a replacement for Craig Cook in the premier league is a joke I feel sorry for all those that were conned enough to buy a season ticket. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,929 Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Sundstrom, Iversen, Jepsen Jensen or Buczkowski. As much as I like Gomolski, he is not a heat-leader. I will not be attending a single match this season. Buster can bugger off. Edited March 29, 2019 by JeremyCorbynFan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
