The magnificence of the wonderful new race suits clearly overshadowed the relatively minor distraction of fans being shafted yet again. This is the second rider who we now are told had not signed a contract. One wonders if anybody has

Even if he was there it makes no difference to the essence of what has happened mushroom management at its wolrst again. From what I hear even if NKI does sign it is only likely to be a stop gap. I would not be too happy either if I was a Kings Lynn fan

Exactly I made the same comment on another forum.

Had it not been that they had to explain his absence from P&P most likely we would not know even now

Spot on the most positive optimistic supporter I know and they have managed even to piss him off. When I spoke to Ged the other week he seemed close to tears over what was happening, now we know why

Gomolski in no way adequate replacement for Cooke. Hope we can do better.

Ged denies this

Total madness .Fortunately I will not be there whatever. Can they really want to start the new regime with a financial disaster?

I did not , but that does mean it is true or otherwise. I will not be there whatever the start time.

Think you would find Ged disputes this view

I saw both these riders in action but more so Brian Crutcher. Brian retired when still very young (25 I think) he lost interest in Speedway due to business demands and as he would later say the closure of Wembley. He was when focussed the match of the top riders of the day Fundin, Moore, Briggs Craven etc. I believe he has subsequently said that he suffered nerves on the big occasions which handicapped him in top individual events. There is a fairly recent Biography of him which will give more details I will PM the title etc when I locate the book which I have somewhere

My own view is that Ged did not go voluntarily

Think there is a lot more than we know or will ever know.

Weird stuff going on at Peterborough. Looks like we have three promoters with another on the way. Seems to me Ged and Neil being squeezed out. Following the normal course those in know being threatened with dire retribution if their lips are opened and a three line whip to ensure silence. I do not trust Buster but I would be more worried if I was a Stars fan as it seems he is currently for whatever reason more interested in Peterborough. To be more precise the EOES

Remember them all and more.

For this to really work Speedway and Ice Hockey teams need the same name as in Wembley Lions and Harringay Racers, a pity Peterborough did not see this. Not sure how or when the names came about but there was already a Panthers Ice Hockey team, with a famous history. Who can forget legendary Chick Zamick?

There was was always a strong connection between Speedway and Ice Hockey going back pre war

We should be looking forward to new season. Unfortunately with the secrecy and subterfuge that has been the norm during close season as I have said before I am left with a feeling of foreboding . I just think there is lot more going on than we know and am suspicious of Busters motives. I can't lose sight of how eager he was to accept the 30 pieces of silver

Not sure about legal stuff but I had heard somewhere there were announcements due re promoters

my understanding from Ged is that he will be around but in a much reduced capacity

It may be possible that they are right with their concerns especially with the Chapman full house and holding the trump card

I have feeling that Peterborough is now foremost in Busters plans. What those plans may be is any ones guess

Somewhat enigmatic to say the least!!!!

I have reason to believe the team was not as expensive as many people think. Further there may well be a lot of regrets amongst the triumvirate.

OMG they certainly know how to get the fans adrenalin flowing, had a sleepless night with the anticipation and was not disappointed. Haven't been so excited since I got a pair of socks that didn't fit for Christmas
