I don't blame you tbh. He's well capable of his 7.16 average, if he can be bothered. His heart is with Poole it seems. Id deffo not give him any kind of guarantee.

Id deffo not give him any kind of guarantee. Too many red flags for me. I mean, giving an interview to the local press recently down in Dorset saying that he hopes Poole return to the top flight because he’d like to ride for them again, whilst also stating that it’s just “not the same” riding for anyone else here when he potentially had a deal in the pipeline to ride for said someone else, isn’t the smartest move is it? Last time he rode for “someone else” he shed a big chunk off his Poole average whilst sitting in the pits with a massive cob on and refusing to ride in tricky conditions. Would he have sat there in Poole kevlars rather than Lynn ones and flatly refused to ride? I bet he wouldn’t!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomlin has clearly got a little bit of an ego & got ahead of himself. Can't blame Buster for this one It's all on buster this 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to me Tomlin and his crew providing the finance etc and if Buster putting the block on things as he is still nominally the owner the whole thing smacks of petty vindictiveness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What does MT own in relation to Peterborough Speedway ?. Probably F all.... If MT is putting all the money in, then i can't see why Buster wouldn't mind in general (apart from Holder). If i was Buster i wouldn't have Holder in any team of mine. Edited February 14, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterborough it seems are back to square one with Buster slashing the team again , at the rate hes going cant see Peterborough lasting this season out now , Edited February 14, 2023 by scoobydoo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wealdstone 3,454 Posted February 14, 2023 Dark and dirty games afoot seems to me. Nominally the owner than no more than a name ie no assets, . Tomalin from what we can gather has the cash which will keep Panthers going, if so two fingers to Buster. Many may think that the rest of management team are no more than Brown Noses t think rest od managenent team are n trer.

TTT 1,227 Posted February 14, 2023 If Chris Holder has gone with Nicki P coming in as expected then we'll be better off tbh. Nicki P will be committed 24/7 because he doesn't like losing in any race. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
