Irk Deflector 130 Posted November 20, 2013 His point was that money wasn't the issue and trying to suggest something else was to blame - well that's not what the club statement saysYou should read the statement again! Look carefully and you'll find the answer - it's half way through. It's what many would expect of Rick Frost, a professional and an honourable man. Are you wallowing in the Panthers demise?

Crump99 4,476 Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) perhaps frost and co didnt like the idea of young brits in the team as opposed to poles and danes Considering they sponsored Danny King and were very keen to sign a not so young Brit in Harris then I'm sure that if there were decent Brits about they'd be quite happy. Then again they might have remembered Bridger in 2010. You know - it's very easy to pick a piece of text to suit your argument! What about the club statement http://www.peterboroughpanthers.co/news.php?extend.2006 ?? What about it? I can pick out the bit which suits my argument but which bit is causing you problems? edit: oh I see, I've read your other post and your clinging to the financial red herring. So be it, the lady is clearly not for turning! Edited November 20, 2013 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skthecat 90 Posted November 20, 2013 if so it wouldn't it also reduce costs for promoters? or will the heat leaders be asking for better start/points money to compensate for potentially fewer points scored? Why should No 1, 3, 5 get easier races! Blimey, they should be there on ability, they may have to make more of an effort though, ahhh, poor souls! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) With all the teams now taking shape what are people's thoughts on the structure, finishing positions, competitiveness etc. For me who wasn't originally convinced by the draft system the structure of the teams looks good. All pending on the race format though. One thing that stands out for me is the weakness of one particular team but I won't say who it is as it looks pretty obvious, to me anyway. I can't see Poole getting their own way this season, it's great to see not one obvious stand out team to win the league title. I am genuinely looking forward to 2014. It's going to be new for all of us and I can't wait for the tapes to rise once again. This WILL be a great year for British Speedway, I really really believe it Edited December 19, 2013 by screamer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted December 20, 2013 Yesterday was a real good day for speedway. It was announced that a deal had been finalised enabling Peterborough to continue operating, though, in the Premier league, and that Woffy agreed to ride for Wolves. Two important decisions in the survival of our sport.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevec 300 Posted December 20, 2013 Not sure why Woffy riding for Wolves is so important for our sport, unless you mean losing him in the UK would be a disaster, in which case I agrees). So pleased about Peterborough however. Great news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So pleased about Peterborough however. Great news. That's what was meant. Couldn't imagine Woffy riding for anybody else, so I assumed no Wolves deal, No Woffy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted December 21, 2013 ????WTF!! The WTF should be for yourself only quoting part of the quote. Stevec makes perfect sense. It is unimportant to British Speedway where Woffy rides as long as he does ride the UK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But having read what was meant of course i agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
