  1. It might be Ippo. It's not the riders cost, it's the cost of the team. Hans, Cook, Harris...In one team ?
  2. It is wrong and we don't know who is to blame, but yes the Panthers will be my fav's with Wolves to lift the title.
  3. No. But just think for a minute....Buster has Lynn for 25+ years. He buys Ippo and Boro to keep the Prem going(big money risk). They didn't have to sell to him. It's cost him £££. Cookie is not cheap. Harris is not cheap. Hans can't be cheap.. I don't know what went on, but I find it hard to believe Buster agreed to pay big wages at Boro and less at his beloved Lynn and lesser to Ippo. I may be wrong..Are you right?
  4. The Panthers with Tungate are still a very strong team. Averages don't lie.
  5. The team looked way to expensive from the start. And signed up fast. I don't know what was agreed, but theres no way imho Buster would of agreed to a wage bill like that. I don't know what went on, but if, and it's a very big if Buster had agreed terms with all the riders, then it's a sham.But I can't see him giving the Panthers a much bigger budget than his King's Lynn or Ippo. This must of been thrashed out between Buster, Ippo and Boro before a rider was signed, surely?
  6. Wouldn't it be ££££ cheaper just to pay a high wage bill for a season to get all the riders you want, rather than taking a huge risk buying 2 clubs at great expense to win the League with one of them?
  7. Whats wrong with that Taps.. Ones been there, done it. One is 53 years and still trying I'm not a glory hunter
  8. I think he's lost the plot at the moment.
  9. We may never know.. I think Buster thinks he is doing the best to keep the Prem going. He has laid lots of money on the line (no one else would) when speedway in the UK is on it's @rse. He has taken a big risk. Do people really think he has bought Ippo and Boro to make himself thousands when no one else can..?? We don't know anything about the deals in place or budgets etc, so I think people should cut him a bit of slack for now.
  10. With the speed of todays machines, the bikes rarely go in a straight over the start/finish line. At most tracks the bikes are still slightly sideways and spinning on the home straight. If a spinning and slightly turning bike hits the concrete at 70mph I think disaster would follow.
  11. I hope it's not true as well. When the Panthers team was put together, I thought it was very strong, still do, but also looked very expensive. I couldn't see anyone paying out that sort of money on a team coming up, with speedway they way it is at the moment in the UK. I don't know whats going on, but I does look very unprofessional
  12. That's the way..... We don't know the teams or the facts yet. We might never know all the facts, but surely as a "speedway fan" a King's Lynn one at that, you would be happy if all 3 clubs had good season and attracted enough fans to go again in 2020. As with all the clubs in the UK. " Says something when a Lynn fan would rather see Busters clubs all fail, because you don't like the bloke !! You would rather Ippo and Boro had crap seasons which will result in bad crowds and the clubs in problems ?? As a Lynn and a speedway fan, I would rather both Ippo and the Panthers finish above Lynn if it was a toss up between that and them finishing bottom, with no fans left... and we loose another club. If you hate Buster that much that you want all 3 clubs to fail this season, then I suggest, well I won't, but are you really a speedway fan or just someone who has a problem.
  13. Must be related to a family member. No worries
  14. It would of been some budget for that team to be assembled.. Much more than at Lynn and Ippo.
  15. I know that it's listed as a money matter.I don't know if it's covering up for something else. The Panthers with Harris, Cook and Hans looked expensive from the start. We don't know why it wasn't questioned before. I questioned it as soon as the team was complete. I can't see how it will improve Lynn who already have Kasper on a 4.0 who averaged 2.55 in 18. Bomber on an inflated ave would be an own goal imho. Would it improve Ippo..Maybe would give them a fair top 3. Given Cook and Hans wages. That looks more likely.
  16. I don't know what's behind this, be it the 2.5 % ave reduction cock up, money, or whatever, but the Panthers team looked very expensive and was completed very early. Buster saved the Prem for 2019. No other promoter was interested.... Only in their own club..It must of hindered Lynn in some way as well, not that you are bothered. Lets see what happens shall we.. The Panthers have a strong team with Tungate who I think will be signed, if not already lined up.
