They will do nothing just use R/R all the time its the cheapest option and shows they have no interest in being competitive, shows that Peterborough are just in this league to keep it going and nothing else. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could quite easily be that Cook decided he wants more than just Glasgow meetings and backed down ie agreed a deal on the same terms as he would have been on for P’boro. I doubt we’ll ever know. Although I know who my money would be on as to which of the two parties ‘backed down’. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lynn called Cook as has been said then it doubtful he would of backed down without his extra money for the white sponsors 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really feel for you Panther's fans as well and truly shafted twice now this season. I don't feel sorry for Panthers supporters one bit , they should have realised what was about to unfold the day Chapman imposed himself on Peterborough and while they keep paying there money things will not improve , most should have been well aware of what the likely situation would be , but if they want to keep Chapman happy then keep paying him your money , I'm sure he will be more than happy to take it as well as helping Panthers to the wooden spoon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans did not sell the club and I suspect those that did were duped. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really think that Cook would back down after receiving a call from Lynn management to ask if he would sign and be told and by the way your sponsors will still have to be in white if you sign for us.

Haza 1,774 Posted June 4, 2019 Wonder how SOME Lynn fans would react if Panthers had signed Iversen ? Or still do sign Iversen - that would be interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrss 691 Posted June 4, 2019 If Iversen goes to Panthers best of luck to him. Kings Lynn speedway was there long before Iversen and is still there without him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s perfectly reasonable to suggest that Cook held out til June and realised that just riding for Glasgow isn’t doing him much good, and to then be prepared to take the next offer which came his way. 5 minutes ago, Haza said: Wonder how SOME Lynn fans would react if Panthers had signed Iversen ? Or still do sign Iversen - that would be interesting I’d say good luck to both parties, we want as many quality riders in the league as possible. Highly unlikely though due to other commitments, almost certainly one of the reasons he didn’t line up for Lynn this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought this was all to do with one sponsor,who then duly pulled the plug on sponsoring Cook.This then left the remaining sponsors who were happy to have there logo's/writing in white 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
