TTT 1,251 Posted May 5, 2023 2 minutes ago, Crump99 said: The club was equally at fault, if not more so as they didn't need to gamble on an injured 45/46 year old. If this didn't set alarm bells ringing then I don't know what would: Pedersen admits that since his last hip fracture, he has had to prepare wisely - I used to run a lot. I like to do it, but at the moment I'm cycling instead. Even though I don't have any pain now, the long term concern is not to cause any damage and not to let my pelvic pain come back. I broke it, which affected my left leg. Everything is in the right place, but now, instead of pushing it while running, it is better to put less pressure on the pelvis by cycling, concludes Nicki Pedersen. sportowefakty 23/2/23 Agree, Bad calls made all round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He must be pretty confident in his position and there must be a lot of work going on behind the scenes because from the outside looking in (and the club has admitted as such) it's 16 weeks left of a season worse than 2022 (and that's some trick) before the club folds for good? I'm all for waiting to see the submitted AEPG plan but if we've got anything to counter their position and our impending demise then it's about time to put something out there. The only "dramatic change of circumstances" will come initially from public opposition so if the club really is serious about not continuing just to roll over then that stink needs to start pdq. He needs to reply to the message telling them to get a shift on. Edited May 7, 2023 by Crump99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gasser90 229 Posted May 8, 2023 Anyone else bored of the silence from the club now, no number 1, everyone saying we need to start kicking up a stink regarding show ground re development but the club haven’t even said anything about what exactly they want the public/fans help with regarding this. If they want to tackle it on their own that’s fair enough but at least say something ! We’ve got to the end of this week to get a number 1 or the season is all but done, I know we will keep getting a facility for nicki blah blah but surely you want a team of 7 and not 6 plus who ever is available on the night, it’s getting pathetic now 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyd 165 Posted May 9, 2023 I don't believe they are interested in signing a new number one, its that or the riders do not want to ride for the club or current management / promotion team. Guest riders or R/R for the rest of the season I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
