I couldn't make out what's pathetic about it either. Most of social media is pathetic anyway and forums have been speedway's devil incarnate for 25 years or more. Everyone knows what they are going to get don't they? It's often puerile nonsense so surely that's the starting point if you choose to read? I meant its pathetic as in how long the threads been going, the size of it and how theres still an uncertainty over who owns what and who has the final say and who is going to have the final say come start of season. More of a dig at the situation rather than the thread, sorry i worded it wrong. IF Tomalin is wanting to buy the club, even if his offers below what Chapman demands, surely Chapman should just cut his losses and sell up? As stated, what does he actually own? In a seasons time if Pboro are thrown out of the stadium, he will end up with sweet F All barring selling a few old tractors, an airfence and assets. if someone is willing to take it off his hands and pledge money into the long term future of the club in a new stadium and Buster wont sell as it doesnt match his price then you can understand the Pboro fans being peeved with him. Just a sorry mess that needs sorting. that said, after Holders behaviour at Lynn a few years ago, you can half understand Chapman not wanting him anywhere near. Nicki P would still score more points in the league than Holder. But those pair, along with NKI, are very injury prone these days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely that is good consistent scoring. Depends whether you've looked at who he beat and factor in how pants Panthers were last season. Is 2022 alone good measure? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree using 2022 form doesn't tell the whole story of Richie's form around Alwalton, as Panthers were weak. However had he scored 3 or 4 points each visit, I could understand people being negative towards his signing, but he didn't, he scored well.

No point giving the 100+ examples to illustrate. Andersen was rubbish but Boro are keeping him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted February 17, 2023 2 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: Worrall is not a bad signing, Andersen is but no-one will know for sure until the season starts. I'd agree with that. Worrall is a solid middle order rider. Last season in his last 10 away meetings he won the same amount of races as Lawson and Picko. I believe he was in the 1to 5 as well. Not an earth shattering signing, but one that is reliable and should keep his average imho. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TTT 1,228 Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Keep the faith in Richie Worrall, Leicester stepping up this season too and that's another technical place he goes very well at. Richie's scores at Sheffield last season were the following which proves he can score points on a big track away from Home against a very solid side too. 6+1 @ No.3 7+2 @ No.4 9+1 @ No.3 Edited February 17, 2023 by TTT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picko was a lock for one of the second string berths and TJ only got the other spot out of loyalty. TJ is KL's version of the Hans Andersen / Panthers situation where the rider gets a gig at the club every season no matter how he performs on track.

FishersGate 522 Posted February 17, 2023 I'd have taken Richie at Leicester for sure. I think he's only 30ish and some riders are peaking later than previous times before...I think there is a little bit more to come from Richie for sure. He's no bomber but certainly ain't no mug. Keep the faith panthers...looking forward to you coming to the lions den. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
