Buster says definitely everybody else says potentially... something dodgy going on Might be due to the petition ect gathering momentum. There has been people close to this saying a while ago, that as it stands, this is the last season.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buster says definitely everybody else says potentially... something dodgy going on I agree, if Chapman is sure the club is going to shut why doesn't he sell the club that is about to become almost worthless. The rider assets could be transferred to Kings lynn, all he would be selling is the track, fence and tapes. He has either taken cash from the developers or he thinks they might be able to carry on.......I hope its the latter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MT said he did at the start of the season, i know this is true btw, and that fell through. People say he still wants it. TBH i don't think he does. If he wants it, he wants it for nothing imho. His buddy CJ said in a statement when he jacked, that they was looking for a new site, and that they have one waiting in the same statement. Make of it what you will. We will see soon enough i guess.. Edited September 9, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about the consortium that Mick Bratley said on the radio had approached him about taking the club over? Or Ged looking to get the club back, with Neil Watson involved? I’ve no insider info but there seems to be enough talk around to suggest there is truth in the stories that others are keen to take the club on….. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like all it's worth now if it's going to close is what the air fence, and other fencing is worth, the shale, but most PB fans on here think it's crap anyway, the name maybe?, and any equipment that Buster owns. It has been said many months ago that if they shut the Showground they have to provide another venue. Although i've not heard this mentioned for a while now.. Who knows?

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted September 9, 2023 2 hours ago, Pitch said: I think this must be the case. Also quite a while ago on here it was said that he declined an offer of his full asking price for the Panthers. He might be in the dark ages, stubborn, and other things, but he's not stupid enough to turn down a full asking price offer.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would be surprised if they bought more land for a speedway venue, it would probably be easier/cheaper for them to let them carry on as they are. If the speedway is closed in a few weeks time we can expect Chapman to come out swinging with a campaign to save the Panthers if he goes out with a whimper we can assume hes taken the cash.

So am i, but that's what TM said at the beginning of the season, and CJ said it again since, when he jacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will cost Buster 90 points either way. Edited September 9, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well he has turned down a full asking price offer so he is either stupid or has a better offer maybe from the developer ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
