I am writing to the Pope as clearly Buster deserves to be Canonized

Would that be North Korean style with the Canon aimed at him? It was not a good evening for Buster last night with Panthers being joined by the Witches and the Stars in losing important meetings.

Best just to give him his 5 minutes of glory. Orion never admits that he's wrong and will keep replying until you top yourself!

He said that there would be no 2019 Panthers without Chapman. Rathbone said that he would run Panthers 2019 whether or not the club was sold. Couldn't have been more wrong there but will still argue that black is white.

In terms of a losing business, if he's talking about speedway generally then most will probably agree. If he's talking about Rathbone and Panthers then he should have scrolled further down the news item that he quoted because Rathbone also said: “Don’t get me wrong, we’ve probably broken even over the four years and maybe even made a small profit ".

Personally I think Chapman was the only offer on the table and not wanting to lose his investment in the future or particularly wanting to carry on in 2019 he pinched his nose and signed a deal that seemingly started to unravel before the ink was dry.

He also said in oct 2019 unless he sold the club it might  have to close that is also in Black and White .. the fact of the matter the guy has put out different statements so only he knows what the truth is . So no one is right or wrong

What a surprise Panthers guest for Monday against Belle Vue is Erik Riss 

Would you prefer Simon Lambert?

Doesn't matter who we have..we won't beat B.Vue and won't make the play offs due to the sub standard team that has been assembled as a number to just keep this this tinpot league alive. After the Harris and Cook debacle and the lack of will to win I've seen over recent weeks from this management they aren't having anymore of my cash.

As expected Douglas is rescuing the Wolves season. With Ash Morris they may have lost.

It makes we wonder how back in the day when you had the likes of Reg Fearman owning so many clubs, how did it work out, or did it?

We had a rather good team until Buster started meddling

it was more than likely a team you couldn't actually afford however.

Jack Holder fits with the extra 5% for a missing home rider, maybe he doing his hair that night!

Well you said we'd have no speedway without Chapman and that he was the only show in town. This indicates that both of those are wrong so on the basis of what we know (and I agree that the truth could be somewhat different but we're not discussing assumptions or guesswork) it's fair to say that you were wrong both times:

Three ‘serious parties’ are interested in buying Peterborough Panthers

Rathbone seemed pretty competent working within budget and it wasn't exactly a secret so when did it become an issue, surely someone noticed these press notices:

PANTHERS SWOOP FOR HARRIS 4/12/18 - ANDERSEN MAKES PANTHERS RETURN 6/12/18 - PANTHERS IN COOK SWOOP 10/12/18 - WRIGHT MAN FOR PANTHERS 13/12/18 - DOUBLE SIGNING FOR PANTHERS (Bjerre/Barker) 17/12/18 - BRAD BACK WITH PANTHERS 20/12/10 inc - PANTHERS 2019 (Team subject to normal BSPA approval): Chris Harris, Hans Andersen (c), Craig Cook, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Charles Wright, Lasse Bjerre, Ben Barker. - note it doesn't mention anyone else's approval which one assumes had already been agreed.

Both Neil Watson and Ged Rathbone deny this and say they had put a very cheap team together, you seemingly know different

What did you expect him to say ? no one wants it are take anything  ? The oldest trick in the book but no shock that you fell for it
