There are IMO very few Buster supporters , but rather those that realise it is Buster or nothing at the moment. Ipswich will survive as the Louis still have some control as will KL . Panthers on the other hand are up the creek without a paddle.

Not going is not the answer , Buster will have no compunctions in closing down Peterborough if the money does not work out . If he does with no buyer we will not see the Panthers on track again.

I do not see going off at a tangent to the rest of the Speedway world as an answer

Many will have a similar view

I like Simon Lambert but struggles at this level.

I am pretty sure the take over was tied up in principal before the team was announced. It is not a secret that in the interim Buster did a vanishing act and could not be contacted, so much so that Ged was prepared to carry on himself if need be. Dodgy dealing deceit and subterfuge has long been the stock in trade in Speedway

The term keyboard warriors seems to me the only riposte promoters have when they can't or won't give any credible reason for the shambles such has been served up recently.

Carl is I fear way out of his depth amongst the Mafia elite.

You really are a silly sod

There is no doubt in my mind that as Neil and Ged have said that the original team was in budget, I also feel that as Neil told me personally both he and Ged intended to remain as promoters albeit with Buster as owner. Seems to me they were subsequently shafted and then I suspect betrayed by those that they had previously considered as friends. Despite not going public it speaks volumes that one of the biggest Panthers Fans both practically and financially has walked away.

I agree but many can no longer cope with mushroom managemenmt

Advance booking preferable with expected record crowd levels

I don't think we are aware of just what the association was my belief is that Horton very firmly in primary control

I think this was more to do with Horton than Neil

I see him at most meetings

Buster seemingly becoming more hands on at Panthers

Some believed that the earth is square. I admire their tenacity as I admire yours

Having followed this situation avidly and knowing a modicum of the background . Ged is a very emotional person and made the statement you refer to at a very bad time and whilst being ill,. Subsequent statements were very clear that if all else failed he would carry on and would never close the club down. I know he regrets selling as he has told me personally

This normally means a display of his considerable skills at tractor racing

On the official Panthers site Buster seems to booked the guest for Monday directly himself bypassing existing Panthers Management, also seems to infer that he will be there Monday to be in control

In view of Busters comments and actions in the last few hours , can we assume he has now taken control of day to day matters?

Both Neil Watson and Ged Rathbone deny this and say they had put a very cheap team together, you seemingly know different

I really fear for the future of Panthers , but I still intend to go to meetings as unless there is a viable plan from a viable new owner there will be no more Speedway at EOES. I do not think the Louis's will let Ipswich go to the wall and the Norfolk Arena will always be there. There seems no such salvation for Panthers.

We had a rather good team until Buster started meddling

I am writing to the Pope as clearly Buster deserves to be Canonized
