    That'd be Mick Bratley with no official position who is trying to save the club as well as helping to organise, and attending, the Save Peterborough Speedway rally on Saturday Nov 18. One assumes that Buster will be there to offer his support and also address the fans who've filled his coffers during his tenure. The AEPG shackles are off now so he can explain what he's been playing at throughout 2023.

    So are you saying MB isn't to believed, when he says things like

    " Trust me, it really isn’t like that" and 

    "The fence needed replacing during this close season anyway, it was rotten and held together by various bits and pieces.

    It’s important to note that AEPG instructed Buster to do this otherwise they would have employed contractors to do it and send him the bill. It’s been estimated that the removal of everything will cost £25k to £30k. Buster is most definitely not the bad guy here." 

    That i shouldn't believe what he is saying.. I thought he was 1 of the consortium of 6.

    ITK's and strong rumours suggest it's 41.00

    If that turns out to be the case. I'd settle for the following...

    Tobi                                                                                        Tobi

    Basso                                                                                     Basso

    NKI                                                                                          Wright

    Tarasenko                                                                              Tarasenko

    King                                                                                         R Lambert   Just dreaming ;)

    Paddy Wojdylo                                                                        Wojdylo

    Rowe/Jenkins                                                                          Rowe/ jenkins

    i make it 40.57 after Kings -2.5%                                          40.68 after Wright/lambo -2.5%

    Replace Bomber with Charles Wright and I think you'll be spot on.

    Buster signs the leftovers and Charles Wright isn't at BV.........Ipswich, Leicester and Sheffield can't fit him in going by rumoured line-ups.

    So it's a 50/50 chance that he's either at KL or the club that comes up from the Championship imo.

    Wouldn’t have TJ back. Fresh blood is needed. I’d take Patryk W at No.6 if he’s available. His assessed average is only 0.01 more than TJ,s from memory. He beat JD twice in his short stint last season I think?. Once dialled in I think he’d do very well around the AFA, and deffo up that assessed 5.00 imho.

    Always getting it.

    The guy is as smug as they come, He encouraged everyone to chuck the towel in instead of putting up a fight to save the club.

    Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course.

    We knew the Showground was told it was it's last season almost a year ago now. Thats why MT was going to buy it then and find land to  build another track..Buster was jacking at the end of the season whatever. He was only there this season because CJ bailed out...Your man said he was going to buy it then. It's a pity he didn't, for whatever reason. But I hope he comes good the 2nd time around, and buys the club this time, after all the hard work that MB and Co. have and are still putting in. No doubt we will know in due course if, as said by a few that brown envelopes are involved. If it was never for sale, and they are right, i will be the first one to give  BC some poo, and it would be well justified.

    It's really alarming then if Buster is assisting the bad guys, He should walk away now and let the consortium have full control and they'll at least fight and show some balls in trying to save the club.

    If AEPG told Buster to go and demolish the stand first thing on Monday morning then he would do it without hesitation, Which begs the question where does this end? Buster is a lackey for AEPG and he'll do anything they tell him to do now just to save himself from potentially having to pay for the destruction of the club's home.

    It's the equivalent of hiring someone to do you dirty work for you and it just sends out a clear message that Buster would rather see our club die instead of keeping the club alive out of his own pocket, Therefore he's not willing to fight for the club unlike consortium, council and fans.

      Buster, still getting it after Mick Bratley, who is about as close to this as you can get to the situation, posted  this below... :blink:

    Musielak would be the No 1 the Stars need

    I'd take him in a heart beat. At the least, Lynn need to win all their home meetings, to have a chance of the play offs.  But i can't  see us doing that without a  proper No.1.  If we don't hit the ground running, i can see the crowds dwindling even more. We saw it last season. Unless the Stars can attract some good sponsorship, who is going to pay decent wages to attract the decent riders. The crowds ain't big enough on there own  unfortunately.

    With their injuries, King's Lynn have to avoid Klindt & Jorgensen if they want strength in depth.

    Musielak & a reintroduction of Lawson is a must for me at No1 & No5. 

    Anders Rowe at No6 (not as rising star) is worth the shot with 25% reduction. 

    Not sure I'd go near Tarasenko & Basso to be be honest. Would prefer Harris at No3 then fill the gaps

    Agree on the first line. The word is there is no Lawson at the AFA. Tarasenko averaged over 8 at the Showground. He could do the same for us once dialled in imho. Would be a good back up to a number 1 at home, if we get one.

    Basso

    tsrasenko

    harris

     

    They are 3 I’ve heard

     

    should imagine Ben cook will be there 

    Id settle for those 3 if it happens.

    No.1        8.00

    Basso      6.25

    Harris      6.37 (6.53)

    Vadim     6.64         

    Would leave 11.44 for the last 2 in the 1-6 , if the 39 point limit is kept, and RS also kept. 6 teams with a 40 point limit would leave 12.44, which would make the final 2 easier, and a strong No.6 imho.

    Is Chapman even allowed to sell the club?

    If Chapman has taken a bung to get out of the Showground  (and I'm not suggesting he would... perish the thought), but if he was the kind of dodgy character to take a bung, then surely there'd be something in the agreement saying he can't sell the club.

    There'd be no point in paying-off someone to get his speedway team out of the Showground if he could just then sell the club to someone else wanting to go straight back in

    If that was the case, then i can't see how he can sell... no doubt we will know in due course. As there's  2 or 3  who are in the  consortium on here. Obviously not the right time now, but it will surely come out in the end. Myself, i don't think he has.

    1 person to test 14 riders? That'd be fun, you keeping them in a locked room? You'd need several people all accredited drug testers then the ability to log and deal with all the samples. Multiply that by every single meeting held in the UK and it's a huge expense 

    Does there still need to be a track Doctor? I know there used to be years ago. If so, 2  random riders from each team at every meeting would be a bigger deterrent. The initial pee test can't be very expensive. Use the riders that fail (£1500 fine) to pay for the expensive lab test. Could that work?

    Can anyone explain how a ban starts when the season has finished 

    Any ban they receive, is back dated to the day of the offence. So it depends on when they were caught. A 10 month ban, would still only work in part,  if your caught in March. Needs changing .

    So not his fault then! Does he take the blame for anything to that happens! 

    Darcy got a year ban if I remember correctly. 

    I would assume the level of it in someone's system would rule that in or out. 

    Edit - just been reading the defending comments of Richie on his FB post. Apparently the second test is completely legit and first test is a stitch up lol. Where do they find these people? :D

    Ward got 10 months. Was suspended from riding after the fail, at the end of August. Back riding at the end of June.
