TTT

Emil was assessed on a 8.00 when he rode for Coventry in 2011. Just wondered whether it would've changed due to him not riding in the GP's anymore.

Soon by the sound of things.

Does anyone know what averages Emil & Laguta would come in on?

Well done to Louis and team. Every top rider who rides over here can only help the league as a whole out.

I'm just saying what I think we should do.

We should sign Artem Laguta. He should want extra track time surely?

Last 24 hours. Holder taking revenge on Instagram by spoiling the race suits. Riders taking the p155 out of us on Instagram about how close they were to being in. Polish press reporting on how unprofessional we've been over the Holder situation. Social media backlash on all platforms (Buster needs to explain his version of events just to take the heat off of the club) Frustrated fan base that's reached boiling point.

This line aged well didn't it lol. “I have a terrific relationship with Buster (Keith Chapman – club owner), Dale (Allitt) and Carl, and I’m sure we will work well as one team building a future for the Peterborough Panthers!

I did say the silence was deafening a couple of weeks ago so all of this unfolding isn't such a shock to me tbh, I see the Polish press are reporting on the Holder situation now. I'm just worried about potential cracks in our management with everyone not being on the same page as we've got much bigger issues to sort out like the clubs long term future and stuff. The saying no news is good news doesn't apply to us now because it's all a bit too messy now and it's starting to make us look bad in the media.

I think it's this. 1. Holder agreed to ride under Tomalin's ownership where all parties including Buster expected a takeover to be completed. 2. Expected takeover hasn't happened and won't happen before the season starts. 3. Buster knowing he's going to be here at the start of the season for certain has blocked the deal for Holder and hasn't even bothered to inform him because he straight up doesn't like the bloke after the 2017 shambles. 4. In the end either Michael, Carl or Dale have had to be Busters fall guy to make a phone call to Holder to inform him that he's out, Then Holder's got even by releasing the new race suits on Instagram.

So true, The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing this winter.

For the opposition.

Chris Holder's instagram post is like a Dragon's Den Parody. Holder I'M OUT! Tungate I'M OUT! At least the riders are providing us with some team news.

Ben Cook has been left without a mentor now and he doesn't have any fellow Aussie's in the team. Hopefully the Danish quartet will help Ben settle in by making him feel welcome and stuff.

No doubt in my mind that Buster would've been prepared to go with the following 1-7 if a HL wasn't available as well as nobody stepping up to spanner for Tungate. NKI C. Cook Worrall Andersen Basso B. Cook JJ This Chris Holder situation could've backfired drastically and the sad thing is that Buster wouldn't have cared because he would've got his own way by not having to work with Holder.

Don't know why Flappy is taking some stick on this thread. He's communicated with fellow fans more than the club itself this winter, Lets face it the club haven't even been communicating with riders let alone fans this winter either (Holder), The only true communication from club to fans this winter has been constant reminders about season tickets being available every week.

It’s been messy all winter tbh. If it wasn’t for fans like Flappy and Gasser putting out info then nobody would’ve had a clue all winter. Busters been selfish by only taking his feelings into consideration as I don’t think Worrall would’ve been in either. Holders spoiled the race suit announcement, riders and fans have been left frustrated all winter. Badly handled all winter and we’re lucky that Nicki P is going save the day which will make a large portion of the fan base turn a blind eye to everything

Assuming the ITK info is 100% spot on (Pedersen & Andersen to Panthers, Emil & Hume to Ipswich) Predictions based off current 1-7's only (Not taking mid-season changes into account) 1. SHEFFIELD (Just solid from top to bottom and I can't find a fault in the side) 2. BELLE VUE (Young team where everyone has the potential to improve, Expecting to see at least 3 riders up their average) 3. PETERBOROUGH (Should win by big margins at Home with our spearhead along with Ben Cook at 6 who will love the Showground that should lead to us collecting a fair share of Bonus Points too, Andersen is a huge worry though which is why I can't rank Panthers any higher than 3rd despite us having an Elite No.1) 4. IPSWICH (Fantastic top two but weak at reserve, I don't think the tail end holds up away from Home tbh, I think the tail end will have it's moments but it'll miss more than it hits, BP's could be a struggle for Ipswich as it's difficult to see them winning by big enough margins but Doyle & Emil will see them into the play-offs) 5. LEICESTER (I get Lakeside Hammers / Eastbourne Eagles vibes with Leicester where they'll win easily at Home but falter on the road almost every week, Sedgmen in the 1-5 with Allen @ 6 is a concern imo considering the latter has been poor for a couple of years now) 6. KING'S LYNN (Doesn't have any firepower but they're solid enough to avoid last place imo due to KL having a strong No.6 all season) 7. WOLVES (Too many question marks hovering over the 1-7 imo, Wolves rely on their Home form to prop them up the table every year but every team should be strong at Home in 2023, Could finish 6th but KL do have that powerful reserve all season long which is why I give them the nod over Wolves) PETERBOROUGH & IPSWICH to bail out in the Semi-Finals unless Panthers sign a strong 2nd string and Ipswich sign a strong reserve. SHEFFIELD to get revenge on BELLE VUE in the Grand Final.

I can see your point tbh but Emil has to go at 5 due to the reserves imo. Danyon Hume is in the Drew Kemp 2022 situation and it could go horribly wrong imo but if you partner him with Emil then Emil should be taking enough chequered flags to ease the pressure on Hume's shoulders.

Busters had his bacon saved by Nicki P BIG TIME! If it wasn't for Nicki then he'd have some explaining to do because we could've been left way under the limit. Our 1-7 still challenges for silverware due to the HL trio as well as having a strong No.6 all season, Basso will improve rapidly under the influence of fellow countrymen Nicki & NKI. I think one of Worrall or Andersen will get sacked early / mid-season if Tomalin completes the takeover.

So did Buster boot Tungate out just to do Worrall a favour after he spent last season at KL? Or was it due to no spanner being found?

Buster making Holder splash out on a race suit knowing full well he wasn't going to be in the side and then leaving the BSF ITK's to notify everyone that Holder is out is a brutal revenge plot. Buster is a savage tbh.

Proving they're problematic for team spirit already imo.

It's Pedersen and Andersen for sure. Andersen was over here recently down Peterborough way, 100% to sign a contract because you wouldn't be over here just to deliver a parcel to somebody. Nicki P has been strongly linked and he's agreed to ride for a price, We've obviously met that price imo.

I'll happily pay good money to see Nicki P being a sh1thouse every week
