Flappy 1,605 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) What we reckon then? New owners or still Buster and others running the show? Rob Lyon to stay? Pedersen retiring, what other changes would you make? Does Dad's Army and Pike have another year in them. Do you touch Ostergaard on an inflated average? Edited September 22, 2021 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,935 Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Why wouldn't Buster run? The club's made a very healthy profit. The Panthers fanbase is huge and we have the best track in the league. Ostergaard's average in 2021 was 7.84, his rolling average is 7.09. You could make an argument that his actual average is below his current level of performance. Obviously, you have to factor in the fact that he rode at reserve for a long period. However, I would persevere with him as he is a great team man. Out of this current team, I would love to see Hans, Harris, Toft, Palin and Ulrich retained. If we could fit in Jack Holder and Crump then it would be a great team. 1. Holder 2. Hans 3. Ulrich 4. Toft 5. Harris 6. Crump 7. Palin Edited September 22, 2021 by KeirStarmerFan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make the most of the Showground because it's unlikely to be staging speedway after 2024 I would think, with the new development plan coming out next April. Well done to the various agricultural show chairmen and committees for also allowing the annual show to disappear even though other societies are recording record crowds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted September 22, 2021 Ostergaard, MPT, Hans, Nicholls, Harris and two rising stars. No point in breaking up the 2021 title winning side. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
