I'll bet if you attempted to employ someone who significantly changed the terms prior to starting you wouldn't then see it as an "excuse". Anyway, more to the point who are you gonna balme if your lot go down at BV tonight with there being no RW?? (btw I would genuinely love to see your lot upset the form book tonight although I know it's unlikely the way BV are going!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,273 Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Buster kept the Richie Worrall situation under wraps well, Another situation that wouldn't have occurred if we just signed Rohan Tungate. Tonight's planned line-up before the off probably saw Jack Smith or some other NL rider at No.1 considering we wouldn't be able to run R/R at No.1 and No.4.

If I was desperate for a HL then I'd just pay the money purely due to the fact that I wouldn't have a plan B HL on the table. Nobody because tonight was a guaranteed loss even with a full 1-7. Belle Vue and Sheffield are head and shoulders above everyone in this league when lining up with a full 1-7 imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterborough had the Swales laying in to forums, Frost calling out the keyboard warriors many times, including calling some supporters (although he'd dispute that) worthless, and Hans saying that he has better things to do than read & bother about internet forums. Bratters had his moments with forums as well. Running two clubs on a budget to make up the numbers might have been laudable at the time but even you must see that speedway for the sake of it without ambition or success isn't going to receive high praise and thanks. Yes it's always great to be running but it always goes pear shaped pretty quickly (2021 was a lucky/freak year when everything fell in to place) and that's how it stays. No one wants Buster to sell the club more than me. I didn’t like it from the start, but at the time he was trying to save a club or the Prem. I don’t for one minute think that Buster is enjoying it right now. Flappy has said that MT still want’s the club. If that is the case I hope they can thrash a deal out between then, that is acceptable to both parties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeW436 614 Posted April 24, 2023 I feel sorry for the other riders in the team, Ben Cook, Basso etc, how can we criticise performances when we’re in such a state off track. Why would you go for a marginal move and hurt yourself when no one seems to give a toss anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Lynn have been short changed by using good friend Simon Lambert as a replacement for a 6 pointer. That's not budget that's lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he knew about the call off before hand, then I agree that Lambert would of been the cheap option, and not good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree there were no options before the call off.But at the end of the day you have to make your team the strongest possible,especially for a home meeting.If that meant letting Simon down then it had to be done.He will still get pretty much a full day in at work before setting off for Lynn anyway.You can't let your home fans down,tonight they have big time.

Haza 1,778 Posted April 24, 2023 Both clubs owned by Buster are in from a frustrating season that’s for sure . Such a shame for both sets fans that by 24th April almost feels like seasons over and that’s terrible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,609 Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Rob Lyon is fuming. Said he told them Basso shouldn't be a heat leader and we're simply not good enough. Pleased he's spoken out Edited April 24, 2023 by Flappy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
