Perhaps Chapman has an embargo on press releases etc. when it comes to team announcements and he has to approve everything before it goes public. It is his show and he will call the tune, Louis and GED are just puppets and he would not want one of his lackies stealing his thunder. If you sell your soul to the enemy most know what eventually happens. Perhaps someone who uses twitter could try contacting one of them and see what feedback you get. Louis would seemingly be reasonably open in the past, if he is not now, you have the answer.

Ged Rathbone provided an update on the Peterborough website only a few days ago so that would dispel that theory.

The Supporters Club AGM will be taking place on Wednesday 12th December at Kesgrave Social Club, followed by a Q & A session with Chris and time permitting, a mini quiz.  Start time 7.30pm.

We will be having a raffle and bank statements permitting, the 400 Club draw for December will take place.  It's going to be a busy evening!

Nothing of any substance, waffle, hot air and all pretty meaningless. No riders named which is what most are seeking and in Louis’s case he probably would not put out a release like that thinking it to be a waste of time and an insult to the intelligence of the fan base.

We’ll agree to disagree.

 Did you actually read the statement ???  :o

“We have six riders who have agreed to ride for us, and we are just awaiting confirmation on the seventh. Only when we have all seven in place will we begin announcing names, as if you start making things public before contracts are signed, that’s when you can hit problems.''

Buster has paid a lot of money to buy two clubs just to close them down      I DOUBT IT . 

Of course he hasn't, but he doesn't treat fans of clubs the correct way. If these fans walk away he'll financially be in the cow poop.

Peterborough and Ipswich fans may flock to the first couple of meetings but if things ain't as the fans like they'll be no more. It's how it is, Speedway needs to start delivering on Value For Money.

I doubt he has done to make lots of cash either. It's keeping the 3 leagues going for now, is probably the reason.. :t: Even Matt Ford said he was  brave.

I think it's open to all but only members can vote on AGM.  Best to check tho via their Facebook page or website.

Nothing worry about  

 

Nothing happening aswell at

 

Belle vue

Peterborough 

Poole

Kings Lynn

 

 

Apparently there is a new league sponsor who wants his company promoting on every riders front fork covers and heat shield and on the bike covers. A few riders are refusing which is delaying things. 

 

It could be bullsh*t though.

If riders are doing anything to cause a stumbling block for a league sponsor then they really are being short sighted

Not all riders.  just some. It does seem a bit weird for a rider to refuse. So cant see It myself. But I've heard the same thing off 2 different ppl now. 

 

Teams do need to start announcing riders though. Especially if they are signed. This is the perfect time to sell season tickets. But no1 will Buy any till they know what the team is
