I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but to be fair, I've never said he has done enough or anything to help the Panthers cause with regards to campaigning . I back him on some things ,if i think i'm right, but not everything. Mick Bratley has stood up for Buster twice within a week on here, on stadium issues (page 624) . And he is well respected, as you know yourself. As i have always said, he's far from perfect, but i believe he gets some undeserved slagging off at times. Which i guess is the case if MB has stuck up for him on the stadium situation. Edited November 19, 2023 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did he really need to announce Rob Lyon and Basso on the day of a rally, may be a little thing to many but comes across as insensitive 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you agree he gets blamed for some things undeservedly. As i explained in the previous post.? Edited November 19, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldhawk 76 Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Note to Mick Bratley : Mick you and the club were absolutely incredible in helping honour the memory of Panthers fan David Pratley there after his sudden passing aged just 52 in 2007 ( Dave was my best mate and got me into Speedway as a kid at Rayleigh and i still am a fan now 50 odd years later ) His family along with my self are eternally grateful to you for all you did. We all met up to remember him in August at the track. Must have been over 20 of us there . His ashes were scattered on bend 3 back in 2007. Was wondering if we might be able to recover some shale from the track to give to family to remember him by ? I hope you and others in the consortium are successful in bring back the Panthers to the Showground very soon. Any help gratefully received. Sounds like shale at Kings Lynn ??

But I agree doesn’t look good . And it definitely doesn’t look good when the Panthers owner doesn’t turn up in Peterborough City centre yesterday . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn’t of expected him to go based on the past few months and I doubt he would of been very welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His job is done, he's got what he could out of it, left bugger all and a mess for genuine Peterborough Speedway people to try to salvage something from. He's not been interested in pushing anything during 2023 but the AEPG narrative. Unless he had a bombshell bit of positive information then staying well away was the sensible option. If he feels that he gets a rough deal then it usually appears to be well deserved. He can always clarify the situation if he wishes. Effective communication isn't too difficult apparently. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been publicly slagged off repeatedly by a " consortium member" and others who have basically whipped up a public hate campaign against him, turning everything negative that has happened into busters fault. The term " witch hunt" springs to mind.I wouldn't have gone either if it was me 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
