Surely common sense will prevail. You'd like to think so - but this is speedway we're talking about I'm a STH at London Road and would always pick Posh ahead of Panthers even if I didn't have a season ticket. That said, I rarely miss a Panthers home meeting (and go to a few aways too). I've never had a Panthers season ticket but I had been thinking about buying one for this season - but that's gone out of the window now. And I'd be mightily pi55ed off if I'd already bought one. No wonder Panthers sell only a handful of season tickets every year. Edited March 27, 2019 by PE7Panther Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely common sense will prevail. Yep, but it's not just fans who have a season ticket at Posh. What about the people who have bought 'ordinary' tickets for this game. It's v Sunderland, probably the biggest home game of the season, so it's bound to have attracted more non-STHs than usual - especially with it being on a bank holiday afternoon.

We are King's Lynn are much more familiar with a Buster says "Do It This Way" request / order / command. The nature of how he prefers to run his speedway clubs.

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Indeed, I know it’s not BSF protocol but probably best to establish all of the facts before passing judgements left, right and centre. Mr Chapman is many things good and bad and one of those is a businessman, he’s not going to deliberately reduce his gate receipts without good reason I’m sure.

ouch 1,191 Posted March 27, 2019 Looking forward to seeing the Panthers coordinated kelvars and bike covers. Should be as good as his other team, Ipswich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Panthers have done this previously and didnt Lynn also do something similar in the Silver machine year of 2000 Edited March 27, 2019 by scoobydoo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poolebolton 464 Posted March 27, 2019 Cook hasn’t signed for You guys. Contract not signed. I imagine Kacper G will be his replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stiltonpanther 338 Posted March 27, 2019 What a debacle. From being excited about the season, my enthusiasm has now gone. I never liked the idea of Buster taking over our club and now my fears are bearing fruit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted March 27, 2019 Whatever you think about Buster, and Im far from his biggest fan, he is not the only one in this. Craig Cook, a rider I admire, obviously wants more than Buster thinks the club can afford. Responsibility rests with both sides. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is Gomolski,then what a awful signing that will be. He was poor before when he came back in 2011 and hasn't exactly torn up any trees in his other stints in the UK, with Poole , Swindon and Leicester.
