Because no one else has ever brought season tickets or tickets for meetings, sponsored riders etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSmiler 420 Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Another one from Carl Johnson and quite possibly the worst comment yet: “It’s simple, instead of slagging clubs off get down and help them survive….but I forgot your £22 a week runs a club. I’m sure you have put all your efforts into helping your local tracks survive over the years.” What a way to speak to your paying supporters. Basically saying even our £22 isn’t good enough!

Pumpy 17 Posted May 20, 2023 As an Oxford fan who was starved of speedway for 14 years , be thankful that you are at least still running this year and get behind the club in any way you can to help . It will be a travesty if it goes , but I can’t help thinking if I were involved in the club how depressed I would feel reading some of the comments . The club needs you more now than when they were winning ..! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are these clowns on? I'll take it as genuine, as you wouldn't be silly enough to post it as a quote. There is so much wrong with the club, it's bloody sad. I hope he's there on Monday and someone has a chat to him about his comments.. Or he addresses the crowd to answer to it. Scott Campos has said....... "Daniel, as you know, I'm friends with Dale and will defend him, sometimes out of loyalty granted but on this one he had nothing to do with team building at Peterborough for this season as all of that was taken over by others now involved with Peterborough". Reading between the lines it looked like Carl and MT were given the job of picking the team?. Fair enough, but Buster must of given them a budget to work on. If either of them didn't know Holder was a no go i'd be gobsmacked.. Apart from Holder/Batch, i doubt if Buster would have a problem if the team was within budget?. Then you have MT promising the world, and delivered nothing as yet. The word is is that he hasn't paid his sponsor money either.? Now Johnson giving it the big un to the fans The riders must be peed off as well, no wonder they not doing well. The whole thing is a proper mess from top to bottom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
