Aces51 2,778 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Craig had a poor season in 2018 by his standards but towards the end of the season, immediately prior to his injury, he was back to his best. I am very sorry to see Craig go but think that Bjerre will probably, at the least, replicate his scoring. In my opinion Craig never fully got to grips with the NSS, he was our fourth best rider at home but within 0.01 of a point of being our best rider away. I certainly don't see Craig as a 3rd heat leader but equally not as an out and out number one. However, if he is at his best and the Peterborough track suits him he will undoubtedly improve his current average. I hope he does well.

wealdstone 3,454 Posted December 12, 2018 I think most Panthers fans will be very satisfied with the signings so far. The overall result will depend on the quality of the lower order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible, of course - this is flippin' speedway after all - but surely any contract glitches like this would have arisen and been sorted out before Ged was telling us that he's got all 7 riders. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted December 12, 2018 If no Lambert at Lynn would Buster look to transfer one of his Peterborough signings to balance things up ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBC 15 Posted December 12, 2018 17 minutes ago, BLACKHEART said: TBC is trolling. I listened to Ged on the radio on Friday he said signing announcement on Monday and another on Thursday and then the same again the week after to keep fans guessing the 1-7. That should tell you everything is fine with the signed riders. No sorry I am not trolling, I like Ged, but like all promotors his public comments are not always accurate, at the time of that interview 1 if not more of the riders had not signed a contract.

Sounds like a wind up to me as you can't even name who is involved so will just have to dismiss it as idle gossip. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevehone 3,429 Posted December 12, 2018 i remember a few seasons ago at Kings Lynn Kenny Bjerre was the only rider that didn't have Roger Warnes Transport on his fork cover, i asked him and he said he wouldn't be there if he couldn't, it really is that important for riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
