Hawk127 1,359 Posted December 2, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ged Rathbone provided an update on the Peterborough website only a few days ago so that would dispel that theory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Thumb 81 Posted December 2, 2018 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you actually read the statement ??? “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.'' 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt he has done to make lots of cash either. It's keeping the 3 leagues going for now, is probably the reason.. Even Matt Ford said he was brave.

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted December 2, 2018 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted December 2, 2018 Just now, dontforgetthefueltapsbruv said: 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
