Flappy 1,594 Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) See I don't like this so called strength in depth lark but I see a team of all being capable of improving their average except MPT. Tungate (won't be back as it stands) Andersen Harris MPT Bech Ostergaard BWD Edited December 3, 2019 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted December 3, 2019 We will not know the team until the bosses feel like telling us. Despite being the front man I doubt that Carl Johnson is the final arbiter. First signing to be announced on 13th December , of those that have been suggested so far, there is nobody that is likely to facilitate festive good cheer.

Warren2 65 Posted December 3, 2019 It’s all rumour mill, the only person who seems to possibly know something is Flappy, and I say that as he’s referenced issues with Tungate a few times now. Harris was named dropped by a few early on and last few days it’s been Bech. Who knows... Whoever made the call to wait till 13th to name first rider has slipped up IMO. The club needs more fans and the existing fans need a lift and other teams flying ahead and we are lagging behind. Last pre-season there was a suggestion Chapman was the reason behind both The Stars and Panthers naming teams late but Kings Lynn have named 2 and have over a week before the 13th to name more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil, My post says there was a suggestion that Panthers named riders late, also you quote those 7 “Signings” but Harris was released and did Cook “Sign”?

Chris Harris was released after the Club ownership changed hands in January 2019. Craig Cook had confirmed that he would ride for Peterborough in 2019, that changed after Ged and myself had left the Club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also to be honest as a fan my annoyance is how things were dealt with and thereafter communicated, whose fault it was does not make anything any better. This season fans want to see a competitive side and ideally some news sooner to get some hope and to be able to try and generate more fans. The big wigs in Speedway say the right things but rarely deliver IMO Certainly in and around Peterborough I do not see much promotion of Speedway. There are so many people who do not even know we have a Speedway team and we’ve had 1 for years and years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted December 4, 2019 Do we think that the three line whip on team declaration is: (1) A well thought out plan to avoid last years farce. (2) Bosses think it is good to keep us guessing (3) Parsimony (4) Buster knows best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
