proud panther

To a certain extent, Horton has to be admired, because he kept us alive last season. Having said that, the way he ran the club was a shambles, & without the help of Ged Rathbone, we would have struggled to finish the season.

I'm a fan who has had a season ticket 7 years out of the last 8, & have followed the Panthers away on a regular basis. Anybody who is interested in keeping us afloat will always be very highly regarded by me.

How much is Swales putting in money wise ? He has always seemed good at spending other peoples money, so if he is now putting some of his own money on the line, fair play to him.

Phil the Ace, i'm led to believe that the rent is 52 weeks of the year. Could you confirm that ? Really hope the Aces management can make it pay. Still fondly remember my trips to Hyde Road.

Baby Bjerre rode with an injury numerous times last season, & only missed a few matches near the end of the season. Think it is obvious why that happened. Panthers 89, like the look of your team, but think Holder will live with his brother in Poole, & end up at Somerset. He might come in on a 7 point average as well.

Anybody that thinks the majority of riders don't have a drink during the Speedway season are deluded, & definitely don't go to Cardiff !!

But Buster hasn't got to find £5000 a week rent !!

If any prospective promoters of Panthers are reading this, please consider the following team, because it would be exciting every week. 1Bjerre 2Roynon 3Vissing 4Blackbird 5Ostergaard 6Ellis 7Sarjeant

Would love Adam Ellis at Panthers next year if we run. Looked very impressive at the Showground, & will only get better in my opinion.

When has Len ever re-invested any transfer money back into the team ?

Think Klindt will want too much money for Len.

Can the Panthers fans pay half at the gate when the Newcastle match has finished ?

With the season ticket money, sponsorship, gate receipts & Ged Rathbone's donation, I find it hard to believe that Horton still lost £60k.

Horton has screwed the fans by failing to pay the riders, resulting in us ending up with half a team. The riders brought in were all cheap options, & cost us a place in the play offs.

Coventry have been using our air fence for a few weeks. How Horton has got the nerve to sit with the people he has screwed this season is beyond me.

If somebody does decide to take Panthers on next season, the first person they need to persuade to return is Bratters. Brilliant at getting sponsorship,new & old.

I can read knobhead, you are the the one who was gloating about Newcastle hosting Edinburgh next Sunday.

So Tsunami, are you saying that Edinburgh are at Peterborough or Newcastle on the 5th, because you don't seem very sure either way ?

Think Julie was named as a promoter to protect Rick's investment. Hope Rick comes back as promoter, because we would have a cracking team, as he is highly respected by all the riders that have ridden for him. Whether he is interested is another matter.

No Bjerre, so 2 guests & RR. Not ideal, to say the least. So who are we getting as guests ?

Any news on our guest/guests ?

So we could have Lasse, Ulrich, Lewis & Nico ? Sounds a good base for the team next year, now all we need is a Promoter who can pay them what they are worth.

He told me himself a couple of years ago that he hadn't been to a speedway meeting since Oxford nearly bankrupted him, & never would. People change their minds in life, but it would surprise me if it was him who was behind the alleged Milton Keynes revival. I don't know Nigel personally, I was at Houghton cooked meats, which he owns, & saw a lovely picture of Simon Wigg in his office, & we talked speedway for a few minutes. The BSPA were not on his Christmas card list either LOL.

Dean Machine, you are normally very good with your opinions on here, but that must be a wind up.

If Rick Frost or Mick Horton don't want to promote Panthers next year, we are in trouble, because their doesn't appear to be many other options. Neil Watson will never answer a question, but he is good at quoting rules that we can all access as easy as he can.
