proud panther

So Scunny are going with a rider on a 5 point average who will do well to average 4 in my opinion. Why not sign Sargeant for example, who is on a 3 point average, & will average about the same, thus saving 2 points towards the rest of the team ?

Its a joke that the supporters have raised 30k but the so called promoters have asked for another 14 days to make up the rest . Why cant they put the other 10k in & show a bit of commitment themselves ? JOKE & its not funny.

Buster Chapman was standing near us at Peterborough when the man on man was used, & he didn't have a clue what was going on. As he is a very shrewd promoter, it makes you wonder how well the rule was explained !!

I have only missed 3 meetings in the last 8 years, & have followed Panthers away numerous times. If the new promotion had said that they were putting £20k in each & were looking for the fans to match it, I would be very interested in putting some money in. To ask for money with no mention of any personal investment is a bit of an insult to my intelligence, in my opinion.

Think you will find it's a nice round figure. £30,000 is a wonderful effort by the fan's.

Think Sissis has been dumped by Red Bull. Also think he will be at Ipswich.

Onto tomorrow night's social evening, could anyone tell me what entertainment "Kev the Rev" provides ?

Don't forget Heeps best mate Sissis.

King & Manzares.

steven 101, only 2 of your team will be in the Witches team that starts next season.

Wilko is a good honest rider, but I can't see him improving his average. Ostergaard, Bjerre & Blackbird are the only riders I would have back from last season. Ellis might be at Lakeside again, which would be a shame, because he looks a snip on his average.

Get the season ticket prices out before xmas, & if its good value like last year, a few people might buy them as xmas presents. Hope my wife takes the hint LOL.

Left at the interval because I was bored with all the rubbish from certain people about the state of speedway in general. Felt sorry for Trevor & Ged for having to listen to all the moans, when all they were trying to do was save our speedway club.

Hodgy, pm me & I will discuss it in more detail tonight at the meeting.

If you assume that Swales hasn't taken money out of Panthers, you are very naive Hodgy. By the way, you didn't answer my question reference giving them money on those terms. A lot of people give their time up for nothing to keep the club alive, & I appreciate them.

So its ok to risk our money, but not their own ? Take it you are happy to give them money on those terms Hodgy ?

If the fans are being asked to fund next season, then its reasonable to know if the men who are going to manage this money are putting any of their own money in.

Will be amazed if Cradley don't run at Perry Barr next season.

Still no mention of Swales putting any money in.

Swales & Rathbone should be ahead of fans like me, & already approached Mick. As bigcatdiary has already mentioned, 2 other clubs have approached him, so why haven't Panthers ?

Mick, it was meant to read that I hope you have been invited, because I respect the brilliant job you did for the Panthers the last time you was commercial manager.

Hope we get a good attendance, & Mick Bratley has been invited, because we need as much help with sponsorship as possible.

Heard a rumour that Risager wont be in the Witches team, & that a new 7 point foreigner has been lined up. Obviously, there are loads of rumours this time of the year.

Really hope Ladbrokes are bluffing with the aim of increasing the rent, because there doesn't appear many other options for the brilliant Cradley fans.

Surely the 2 valve Jawa's will still need tuning, giving the riders the opportunity to adjust them & gain an advantage ?
