Using guests rather than making a team change means a saving on loan fees and other fixed rider costs. It allows (in theory) horses-for-courses guests. There will be no issue with the 8-day rule until later in September. It holds Josh Bates’ average in the 1-7 should other changes be made before August 28th. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panther1997 228 Posted July 24, 2019 I see on the supporters group on facebook, Carl Johnson was asking people for suggestions for riders for guests and permanent. He’s words ‘Come on then everyone, name the 3 riders you would bring in ? Let’s see how much everyone knows’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Criticism via social media (justified or otherwise) is a thing of the present and needs to be handled properly by those involved with the club namely by giving honest and frequent updates even if the say things like we have been looking at our options but there are no current riders available within our pay structure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All4back 40 Posted July 25, 2019 Reported in the PT that BWD's injury is not healing. Can we extend the naming of available riders from Facebook to this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's been like that at times for at least 15 years at Peterborough. There has been some nasty stuff and management have often been justified in coming out fighting. Generally though it's lack of communication/explanation that causes the problems. Fans get upset and vent their anger and management get upset when in fact they could have nipped things in the bud much earlier with a version of events that people will believe and not the corporate line that usually doesn't stack up to other info out there.
