    He was making the point that as a successful promoter he could/would work with the Stox promoter who wanted to own the stadium,to run speedway successfully.

    For free ;). I'd imagine that a "new" Coventry would attract decent crowds with a good team. Probably just the cynic in me.

    Very ironic comment considering you have Buster!! 

    But he has helped keep the Prem going, at the determent of his King's Lynn at times. I know he's far from perfect though;)

    Playing devil's advocate here. 

    Anders said he was 99.9% promised but they changed their mind. 

    Brummies now look very uncertain to have a track next season let alone go up. 

    Ford's have explained reasons for stepping down and long term future at Wimborne Road far from secure either. 

    Poole fans... Would Matt Ford go back up to PL to ensure there was a PL and to ensure Eurosport deal wasn't broken. 

    Matt Ford will do what's best for Matt Ford, imho.

    Good stuff. Fingers crossed the weather stays dry enough for this to take place and we win our second team trophy of the year. Tomorrow is mostly a dry day with the occasional shower passing through. Friday similar with 40% chance of. Shower currently. 

    Lets hope the tide isn't in :rofl:(If you know you know) ;)

    If Ipswich don’t sign up Emil and Doyle they will lose a fair number of fans 

    These 2 put bums on seats and provide huge entertainment…. I’ve bask going Foxhall since 1985 and I can’t remember the atmosphere being as good

    We won the cup and almost (should have ) won the league 

    I love to win a trophy and the cup final night was epic….. however I also like to enjoy watching 

    Not sure how this fits 

    1. Emil

    2. ?

    3.King 

    4. ?

    5. Doyle 

    6. Rew 

    7. Dan Thompson 

    What does that leave?

    Is there room for Brennan or one of the Cook brothers ….. even if this means Rew going to 2 or 4

    Got to say wouldn’t want Erik back …. Nice guy but so far off it and looks hesitant in races 

    Emil 10.10

    Doyle 9.12

    King 7.05 ( with British deduction)

    Rew 4.00

    Leave's you 8.73 for the last 2 riders in the 1-6 if team building stays at 39

    TB 5.87 with reduction, BC 6.00, ZC 5.10

    They were definitely conversations last season.

    I'd bloody love it if true. Team building average must be something like 42.00 if that's the case.

    Probably dreaming, but  us Lynn fans, more than  deserve a good team i think;)

     Vadim

    NKI

    Lawson

    Harris

    Basso

    Freddie ( If his 2017 average of 9.29 was still used) 

    41.90

    IF the above rumours are true then I make the averages:

    Tarasenko 6.94
    Iversen 6.64
    Lawson 6.41
    Harris 6.37
    Basso 6.25

    Leaves 6.39 if team average is 39:00 again.

    Solid throughout but would still prefer to see someone like Wojdylo at reserve and the extra points used for a No 1.

    But is there one available that we can afford and wants to come?

    If not, then there is certainly strength in depth in this team. Basso at reserve on 6.25 :o

     

    Same here. A decent No.1 is needed imho.

    Would this team fit?

    1. Tarasenko

    2. NKI

    3. Klindt

    4. Lawson

    5. Bomber

    6. Basso

    7. Rowe

    Over. But with  Bomber and Lawson geting the 2.5% British reduction it brings it down to over a point under last seasons (39.00)  at 37.83.

    Not far out from my team. But i feel we need to use all the points available and must have a proper No1 for Ht's 13 and 15:t:

    He was pissing Lynn about as well so its hard to imagine Chapman to continue paying for his services at another club of his? It must of been financed from someone else. 

    After Buster took over at Lynn, i do wonder if Laguta missing some Lynn meetings  was a mutual thing? I know KC said the team was way over his budget when he took over, and no doubt would of re negotiated AL's contract that he had with Alex.

    With PB i don't know TBH. Crowds were a lot better there.

    You are one of the fans I was referring to when I mentioned Lynn fans being fed up of him for years. I was talking about Bald Bloke more than anyone as all season long he has defended Chapman.

     

    I’ve had plenty of moments over the years where I’ve had a good moan about Buster and the Lynn team. I know he’s far from perfect..

    But this season I think he has taken the blame for everything at both clubs, unfairly sometimes. He was as good as retired at the start of the season, but has had to step in at both clubs for no fault of his own, and has managed to keep them going until the end of the season.He signed riders near the end of the season for PB that gave his KL the wooden spoon.

    Tried explaining this loads but Peterborough fans keep saying "there's nothing to sell". They don't seem to realise the rights Chapman holds. 

    They don't understand Chapman owns the rights to the team being called 'Peterborough' in the city. He owns the the naming rights of 'Panthers'. Regardless of the fans opinion Chapman sees that these things have a monetary value & those are to be valued as he sees fit. If he wants £10k or £1m, that's the price, if it's not paid they'll be no 'Peterborough' 'Panthers'. 

    Agree. What i was trying to say, 1 Valve  has summed it up perfectly. If Buster sold it for next to nothing now, and a year down the line the developers had to provide another site and stadium, Buster would have lost a lot of money. I'm pretty sure Buster's asking price has that in mind.

    On the matter of valuation. When it comes to an acquisition it will be necessary to determine if the intended purchase is that of a "going concern" or an "asset only purchase purchase". If it is the latter then you are correct, it should be straightforward to reach an agreement of the value of the required material assets.
    However, the current owner is almost certain to regard this as a sale of a business (it is immaterial that it does not have a place to ply trade from) and as such the valuation of a going concern (even if not currently trading) will take into account both tangible and intangible assets.
    Put another way, the current owner would not just be selling lights and a safety fence, but the club name, history and license to promote etc  and so should a place be found to ply the trade then the new owners would immediately benefit from the goodwill (intangible asset) involved i.e. the  supporter base, sponsors, Press relations to name a few. The alternative being, amongst other things, buy new lights safety fence, track equipment find a place to trade (hold meetings) then apply for a promoters license for a new club using a new name. 
    It will be interesting to see which way this matter goes.

    Thanks. Put a lot better than i could :t:

    This is 100% correct, No BS.

    Buster needs to be reasonable for a change by agreeing a quick sale at a reasonable price in order to give the consortium the best chance going forwards, The guy has been a thorn in people's sides for far too long now.

    Massive thank you goes out to those who are part of the consortium (You know who you are), Your effort and passion for the club hasn't gone unnoticed.

    At first glance it looks like the club is worth what  the lights, air fence are worth. Should be an easy straightforward deal on the face of it. But, I did read on here several months ago, that there is something written in a contract( i think) that says that if the stadium was demolished, a new site and amenities would have to be provided? If that is the case, and it does eventually happen, Peterborough speedway will have a safe new stadium, and be worth a lot more money.. 

    If this is correct, then unfortunately, the sale might drag on for a while yet?
