Think both are only riding in two leagues and they're allowed to do 3 leagues as they're not riding in the Ekstraliga. If true, what do you think the set up costs for those riders would be to ride the rest of the season over here? It would at this point not be cost effective for either the rider or club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I guess your probably right tbf, just that jenkins seems too be struggling for redcar also but yeah palin has really shocked me this year, thought the lad would kick on. In all seriousness I think a change higher up is needed, bring someone in like bellego or buzz someone like that, fingers crossed lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flappy 1,605 Posted May 27, 2022 From Jordan Palin on Facebook Following the announcement by the management at Peterborough Panther’s I would like to confirm that I understand the decision and support the long term objectives of the Club. I have worked extremely hard over the winter to ensure all my equipment was ready for the new season and have been proactive in the development and progression of my career. It was and still is vital that my equipment is at the cutting edge of what is available. As with any development it can take time to fine tune, however my recent scores in the Championship and Poland have shown that my objectives for the development of the chassis and engine’s have now started to deliver against my high expectations for my own development. When I was made aware by the management of their decision I had to respect it and focus on the opportunities I had in Poland. The decision allowed me to book travel to enable me to attend the practice sessions with the coaching staff at Torun and that has enabled me to deliver in the very competitive U24 matches the following day. The help and guidance has also reflected in my contribution to the Team GB U23 performance. Whilst I remain a Peterborough Panthers squad member I will always give to the best of my ability, as I do with any club that I am lucky enough to represent. I wish Jordan the best of luck with his opportunity and can assure every one who knows me that I will continue to strive to deliver above expectation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We stayed the same whilst the others evolved, I don't think it's any more than that. The points limit raised, other clubs signed the likes of Iversen, Kildemand, Zagar, Holder, Fricke, Doyle, Musiliek, Kurtz, Masters etc and we stayed loyal like a lot of us fans wanted as they were bloody brilliant last year. We messed up team building quite simple Iversen or Kildemand, Holder here in 2021, Masters here in 2021.

Didn't the whole team end up down there at some point last season? That's some luxury. That tells you much about where most are now in their career whilst now also being a year older and having to improve their performance against better quality riders as you highlight. That improvement isn't going to happen to riders on the wrong side of the hill. Loyalty is admirable but it was fairly obvious that that would come at a cost in 2022. Down to the new rule change of having to have your Rising Star at 7. Everyone thought Basso was going to be a good replacement. Ostergaard, Harris & Andersen were no 7's last year.

Palin the fall guy for Jenkins that'll probably improve our total team score by a maximum of 1 or 2 points at best. Seems like sentiment is going to win the day when it comes to our 1-5. I guess I cant complain too much considering they've all earnt the right to have credit in the bank so to speak when it comes to job security at Peterborough. 100% finishing last though.
