If you take off your Buster coloured glasses for a moment maybe you will see that is the way the Club is going regardless.

Seriously have you seen the scores he's currently scoring for us, as opposed to Rohan for you, as his direct replacement. Personally I think you really need to look at the cook fiasco rather than the bomber one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davet 52 Posted May 9, 2019 But it was the Bomber replacement that apparently led to the departure of Ged and Neil, since when things have gone down hill with the loss of T Balfe sponsorship and then Cook. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think you really need to look at the cook fiasco rather than the bomber one. That's how it's worked out now but it set the tone and upset many of the regulars who were happy with their team as announced, that's the point, never mind that it was also about to get worse on the team front. Overall though I generally happy with some reservations. I'm not happy about seemingly being the poor relation of triple ownership or that the objective and end game seem somewhat unclear. However, it is what it is and it's been a rollercoaster for 15 years anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted May 9, 2019 Maybe Buster is trying to build sumink at Peterborough, like he has at Kings Lynn. Should reach fruition around 2035 if Kings Lynn is the benchmark 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should reach fruition around 2035 if Kings Lynn is the benchmark That's just about the timescale of PCC Policy LP36: East of England Showground so potentially (not sure whether any final decisions came out of the 2016 consultation?) the only building going on at the EoES could be housebuilding and Buster will need to lease Mr Horton's Fengate motorsport complex at that time as the requirement of finding alternative arrangements for Panthers, if needed, was highlighted in LP36.

Sportsman 5 Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I really fail to understand ,why everyone on here has such a bad attitude towards Mr Chapman ,he bought a club that no one wanted ,he paid for it ,he didn't ask for the fans money .We have speedway in the top league ,but only one team can win it.he inherited a team and fixture list.but he needs this season to lay the foundations for a long term future,I think far to many people are making unnecessary judgments,without proper thought to the process required to build for the long term.

need for speedway 87 4 Posted May 13, 2019 Given his current form, anyone else really regretting not getting the deal done with Cook, he's on fire at the moment what another heat leader he would have been for us! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted May 13, 2019 Cook didn't want to ride for Peterbro and was a lame excuse he gave it was nothing to do with kelvars it was to do with sponsers 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
