scoobydoo 2,254 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) This Peterborough promotion have missed a big opportunity to reignite peoples interest in Peterborough Speedway by not signing Crump, to have him back gracing the showground track would of most likely got alot of the old stay at home followers back through the turnstile, sometimes its not whats on track but whos on the track, business sense is something this promotion clearly havn't got much of Edited February 18, 2020 by scoobydoo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted February 18, 2020 If Iversen is available then I’m not sure we (Ipswich) would have gone down the Crump route after bringing Iversen in at the tail end of last season. I’m pretty sure the money on offer at Ipswich would have been better than at Peterborough just like it has been the factor in signing Crump. Maybe Peterborough have agreed to Iversen’s demands of only doing the start of the season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was a major par of Lynn’s success through the noughties by generating team spirit and getting the best out of some previously ordinary riders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) if you do get NKI then there is no doubting he will score more points, but for the bank balance then crump would bring in more fans, well initially anyway Edited February 18, 2020 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted February 18, 2020 Why would Peterborough sign a rider tat can only commit to half the season, We will probably have Nicholls as number 1 at this rate ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted February 18, 2020 It’s a big risk though, what if Bjerre gets injured ? Just makes no sense. Surely you would want a 1-7 who all want To ride with the team for a while season, I’m not expecting much from these last 2 signings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Skid 425 Posted February 18, 2020 All apologies accepted from those people who laughed at me when i told you Crumpy was going to ride in the UK, i didn't know you couldn't afford him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
