They may have not put money in this time but might have over many years through the gate. If one liked Frost and Mahoney's potential, if not particularly the product up until the latter half of 2013, and not the PL product of 2014 and the one needing the cash for 2015, then this is not an overreaction for some. High profile in a low profile sport. Would seem logical to try to get something for your money rather than sponsorship, especially when you already own a club and assets: Frost added: “Without wishing to sound blasé, it is not big bucks to us. Financing the club has been part of our advertising and branding budget (peterboroughtoday.co.uk 28/10/13)

£3/4m - what the bloody hell on? The losses wouldn't have been half as bad if he'd made more right decisions. It wasn't all bad to be fair and I'd take Rick & Julie back like a shot rather than what we have now. I love it down Poole so can see the attraction and am not really surprised as I never saw Rick as a backwater of the Premier League sort of guy but didn't think that he'd stoop this low after pulling out of Peterborough claiming financial issues although 3 weeks earlier had said that losses were not an issue. When Peterborough was recently up in the air yet again, I said to my mate that I didn't think Rick would close Peterborough (I obviously had misplaced respect) but my mate said that Rick wouldn't give a stuff! Although we haven't yet shut I still gave the benefit of the doubt for better things again. That has been put to bed now. I guess I was wrong and the worthless bunch with big mouths and empty pockets were right after all?

Reading the new items again would suggest not but given our communication skills, hype and cock-ups over many years then it could be taken as the big announcement? Time will tell. They could of course clarify the situation, mentioning supporter confusion over the news items!

Premier League 2015 Predictions
Crump99 replied to cambpanther's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Rings a bell: "NEW owner Rick Frost has promised Panthers fans that great times lie ahead." (29/8/2008) - we got years of Kenneth Bjerre, no success, the winter of discontent, a messy end with the introduction of supremo Horton and tenuously more of the same for the foreseeable future! -
Go away as well and play nicely with jenga.
-
Go away!
-
I could put up a decent argument if I was in the PL camp but I'm not so won't. I attended 2014 and in no way prefer PL but the fact is that if we are not running then there are no options. That's caring with conditions. We still haven't got a vision beyond 2015 so best to stick with it and see what transpires.
-
What the hell have you been drinking Rodders? I doubt that you or I will be delighted?
-
That's some challenge.
-
I'm guessing that people are steaming the stamps from the envelope as we speak.
-
That's rather inconsiderate, where's he going to talk out of then?
-
What do you mean when?
-
Well they'll not be sure that he isn't a relation so it's only logical that they all check in! I wouldn't put in those terms but since "Team captain Craig Cook is required to represent his parent club, Edinburgh Monarchs, after they reorganised a tie that clashed with the Rentruck Aces' date with the Pirates." stopped Panthers charge to the 2013 title then apart from the winter of discontent, that was the starting point.
-
But you could have lost it by then: Panthers were rock-bottom when team boss Jan Staechmann was sacked to allow all-time great Ryan Sullivan to make a dramatic return to the club (June 2013). That switch, combined with a triple rider change, sparked a terrific turnaround as Panthers flirted with a top-four spot before having to settle for a seventh-placed finish. Frost said: “We should have made the changes much earlier so I guess the buck stops with me.

I thought it was a bad dream for a second, Frost & Mahoney hadn't jacked it in and 2014 didn't happen and we'd played a blinder, but then I realised that as Basil Fawlty said: "Beats me I guess we are stuck with it." and a depressing twam a day from dazpanther!
-
Ged's got to be having a word surely, doesn't want to get saddled with that? Hours of fun for us but there is only one supremo and it's not a grand as it sounds
-
Is it really entitled supremo or are you having a larf!
-
You mean like the 2nd half of 2013 before Frost & Mahoney decided that speedway just wasn't for them?
-
That's only this morning's team though, be another one along shortly!
-
That's been the strategy for years and is partly why we're in a mess. Respectabilty away at all times is what gets the home crowd in, not a possible home tanking on the back of the all too frequent depressing (must do better, read the riot act, unlucky, hopefully return to form at the EoES etc etc) away meeting reports!
-
So basically anyone Swales has got a mobile number for? Has Bager retired?
-
Let's hope not!

So says the Newcastle version Leicester's of Nigel Pearson (you'll need to look it up ).

Standard text for stories relating to season tickets is up on previous years. However, they were a silly price, without figures from 2014 and previous years it means nothing, they pluck figures of of the air with these stories and paper never refuses ink. About 150 season tickets didn't cause the problems, it was a rubbish package on a silly race night. The winter shenanigans lost fans from the start, those were not replaced and there was never going to be an increase with the supremo at the helm. Anyway, that's history and people just need to get on with it. I'm no fan of where we are, but as someone posted elsewhere, you can't get to where you want to be if you don't exist!

Judging by the response I get on here Tel, it'd be pity the poor sod who gets sat near me We've done the parking thing. Trouble is too many idiots and too much else going on inside the EoES too often these days? No tannoy would certainly stop the invisible interviews and often awful music, but last time someone down our way in PE1 mentioned wireless & Bluetooth etc they called for the Witchsmeller Pursuivant. Unfortunately they floated so we had to find some kindling and a post. I'd stop calling it a season ticket (same arguments every bloody season) and call it the Peterborough Speedway Fans Sponsorship pass. By buying one you show support to the club by helping to provide funds for the upcoming season and the pass then allows entry to 18 meetings with programme and free parking, plus some other concessions I need to work on and name in programme and Sponsorship pass holders link in the sponsors area of the website.
