Peterborough Panthers 2019

[stevehone 3,429]

i remember, maybe 5 years ago, at Kings Lynn all the riders had to have "Roger Warnes Transport" on their fork cover, but one rider refused. when i asked him how he got away with it he said "well if they want me to ride ...."

so it's been done in the past

Good money saving idea , take out your NO;1 and replace him with a new NO;7  .

Is that allowed? Don't teams get fined for going into matches with an under strength side?

Yes but you have to remember we have the bspa chairman on our side so it shouldn't be a problem.

Wouldnt that mean Buster having to fine  himself.

Gutted for Peterborough fans. Was really hoping they would line up a decent replacement for Cook and being rewarded for trying to squash rider power.

I'm sure that he could appeal to the SCB and get his money back.

Gutted is not the word I would have used but at least me and the MRS will be £40 a meeting better off

The new promoters were saying over a month ago that Tungate  would be a NO1 direct replacement for Harris and failed to take note that on this forum people were saying why are they not mentioning the fact that that Cook's average with 2.5 % addition would make N0;1 , The promoters said absolutely nothing to confirm or deny this , which makes me think he was never going to be included in the first place , if they knew things were not correct for one reason or another why are they now  getting themselves  into another embarrassing  situation. Chapman and his puppets jump from one  cock up to another and think the fans will understand and take it on the chin .It will be o/k we can just blame Ged now he gone.

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.

Just an addition to this Ronaldo doesn't turn up on the pitch wearing his own shirt does he, once off the pitch he dons his baseball cap and £100k sunglasses as endorsements but he wears the club colours on the pitch, same as Lewis Hamilton; company colour's and logos when racing but off the track he touts what he can; and I appreciate these guy get millions in salary however their are Macintosh Reds and Crab Apples (Nearly said Cookers there but held back) They sign contracts and adhere to them that's the nature of the business your employer tells you in the contract what he expects and if you cant adhere to that you walk (possibly thinking you are taking the moral high ground or making a statement!!! But really?)

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.

Companies I have worked for over here in Aus have been extremely professional yet dont insist on you wearing their gear. Im working for a company who has 1000 plus boys on the books full time from shuttering carpenters to post tension fitters to steelies , thats without subbies. Only a handful on each job will have our firms jumpers on etc. they dont give a toss what gear you wear as long as it meets PPE criteria. And we are talking multi million dollar buisnesses here , not the type of firm to sling up an extension. 

I always find the firms who are insisting you wear their hard hats, hoodies, vests, jumpers etc are the smaller ones trying to make a name for themselves . 

But hey ho, I must be seeing things on a day to day basis.

What ya blaming Ged for?

He had the team last year going great and even though he sold the Panthers on if Buster had left him run it  and done as well this season you would of been singing his praises. Ged Rathbone is dammed when he does and dammed when he dosn't.

Give me Ged any day rather than Geoffrey Zippy and Bungle to run the club.

Well done sir, it took a while. 

Chapman was happy to take season ticket and sponsorship money on the back of a very attractive line up. Sure he’s now going to lose out on gate receipts but it doesn’t matter as following a predictable use it or lose it campaign he might not be around long and he’s got all that front end cash. 

All those asking why Hans has his sponsors prominently displayed on his bike and what’s Cooks problem, well. 

Try that on with Hans and he’ll say bye then, I’ll concentrate on my foreign contracts, he has leverage. Cook has none and as a member of the side they are looking to jettison anyway they can come up with all kinds of unappetising deals as they probably thought he’d take it as he only has Glasgow. If not they can alway play the wounded soldier and the lovely fans will get behind them  

It’s been an exasperating few days but I’m glad it’s over now.
