You need to be careful Jenga, you are starting to put some sensible posts out!! I agree, real losers in this are the vast majority of Panthers fans who deserve a lot better, especially those who contributed to the begging bowl when it came around to "keep the club afloat", I'm guessing they may not be so willing now, and questioning if their money was (well) spent!

The real irony is that Peterborough had a realistic chance of winning this meeting with Holder riding, Diamonds are so weak at reserve if you have a couple of good top end riders you can get close. It's a real slap in the face to Panthers fans!

Or the money he is saving on travel expenses for Holder compared to Rutherford and the money saved on points money Holder would have scored! In fact the more you consider this situation the more it reflects badly on Rathbone with all the consequences! I sympathise with genuine Panthers fans who have to be associated with this sorry saga!!

Rode in junior meeting at Redcar on Thursday, fell with nobody near him in second ride, remounted and then fell again!

Well done Bandits excellent result Top quality performance from Stevie Worrall, just want him to rip in 15 point max tonight and he will be on panthers blacklist for guests with Barker and Sedgmen !!

Newcastle's website, issued yesterday, advertises Holder visiting on Sunday. Peterborough have now issued a very brief ( by their standards) release stating Holders in Poland, which everyone has suspected for over a week! So why not give the Diamonds management advance notice and allow them to gives an accurate report, instead of letting them look like they are either incompetent or trying to con public with false advertising! Might it be that English is part of MC and this is a bit of retaliation by Rathbone?

You are in a league of your own southern div 6

I agree most races were well spaced out. I put the blame totally with Sheffield for the lack of entertainment - both Howarth and Lawson kept gating and then riding too fast! Bates was also too fast, although he did have the decency to miss the gate occasionally! Wood and Graversen (apart from ht 2) were the opposite missed gate and then too slow! Seriously - deserved win by Sheffield top three were literally too quick for us. Howarth the most impressive rider at Redcar this season, by far!

It was said to try and justify Holder being allowed to go to Poland, when realistically he probably would have gone anyway before the "deal" To me very disrespectful to the Panthers fans

Takes one to know one

Peterborough won't be in the Pairs, part of the sanctions. Disappointing for Harris & Panthers supporters.

If money has been paid to secure release from BSPA event then anyone to whom it is beneficial to should be asked to explain their action and appropriate sanctions imposed. This is like a promoter getting their rider to obtain a sicknote if they miss a flight back to a fixture in UK - wonder if that has happened this season anywhere????

Why does Sheffield beating Edinburgh reduce Panthers play off chances? To me it actually improves them as Edinburgh are the most likely team to be caught! Realistically it is yet another fictitious excuse created by Rathbone to justify his actions. I sympathise with Panthers fans, the vast majority deserve better than this, at least some are now questioning the actions/motives of their "saviour" - you might well be doing it more and more!

No need to have a double header against redcar, second match can be late September/early October when the play-offs are taking place - neither team is going to be involved!!

I hope Rathbone sticks to his previous line and tells them where to go! But - yes you are in a bit of bother

Poole have 0.06 in the bank if change is for one of the current team, but then that would be final 1-7, if you want Kurtz back in then you haven't anything "in the bank"

Heard a rumour last night transfer deadline been extended by a month! May be a total rumour, but with recent BSPA decisions, could just be some truth in it!!

No idea where you have this from, certainly not on any redcar publicity!! Finally get to see Harris, again at Redcar, although I think it weakens Worky

Barker outstanding obviously after more guest bookings!!

Bewley already riding on Thursday so never an option

Gosh what a wonderful gesture! We will have to have a collection on Thursday then we can buy him a bigger trumpet to keep blowing! I was going to suggest a hat, but would not be able to find one big enough!!

Excellent, although that does mean we'll have more one sided bulls**t from you!

Looks like they need a miracle to keep it close!

Sounds doubtful Wright will be there

I was highlighting that despite what some posters are saying, management don't act on fans comments, they will decide themselves on best course of action. Sadly I found your comments highly predictable!
