BluTiger 21,700 Posted January 24, 2018 'Panthers have been widely linked with a swoop for seven-time British champion Scott Nicholls as their number one, but any deal for him depends on the British Speedway Promoters’ Association (BSPA) overturning a rule which currently blocks him from racing in the SGB Championship due to not having gained an average in this league last season. A decision on that situation is understood to be imminent. It is thought that club asset Tom Bacon is waiting in the wings to complete the Panthers team at reserve providing the move for Nicholls gets the green light.'NOTHING CONCRETE ABOUT THAT ...

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted January 24, 2018 Nicholls if signed, will do well for the Panthers. But, that’s one rider who will take a hit on his average straight away which isn’t the name of the game. Not a chance he’ll even hold that average. As has been said though we know how Ged works by now and the Panthers team that finish the season will be much different and stronger than the one that starts! With fewer fixtures they’ll have to make sure they don’t give themselves too much to do though and make those inevitable changes as soon as possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted January 24, 2018 Looking at the fixture list unless League Cup meetings count towards averages it could be July before 'new' averages come into force Could be all too late by then..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no doubt Scotty would do well if signed and also know he would have to work miracles to maintain a 9.72 average what bothers me is the long tail of under achievers Panthers have got , I don't want to see a one man show , what I want to see is a team that can compete. This is a pigs ear of a team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
