spin king Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 14 minutes ago, Pinny said: Huge shame with no Pedersen, as I said during the winter he is still world class domestically as proven with a full house against top opposition in Poland yesterday. As much as I have always liked Pedersen though, he hasn't exactly covered himself in glory in the UK for some time. Since his early Eastbourne days, he always seemed to put the UK league further down his list of priorities. Who Peterborough sign to replace him now will make or break their season. Has to be a rider in the calibre of Dudek, Magic, Laguta etc to replace him. Poland will always be the main priority for Pedersen as it is where he earns his big money, and it looks like to me as though his Polish club has put their foot down on riding in UK especially with his crashes and injuries he had endured it recent seasons.. His next priority would Denmark probably down to the fact he has numerous lucrative sponsorship deals. I think that a return to ride in this country was a bit fun and some fairly easy money to earn. Its is difficult to see who they will bring in to replace him, riders of Pedersen's calibre will be hard to find. Chris Holder would have been a possibility, not quite up to Pedersen's standard and I think that they may have burnt bridges as far as Holder is concerned.

We've used all our visas and need to apply for more so it can only be an acu licenced rider. Lambert Woffinden Holder Bachelor Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news from Billy Big Spuds since all the talk. 1 hour ago, Flappy said: I'd love to know how much is being asked for it as it's worth nothing Exactly. It can't be silly money surely . It's a weird one, but you would think a passionate supporter of the club (MT) with plenty of money ,who has bought a 26 acre site, but won't spend a bit more to save the club he loves. It must have some value though, although not a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club communication with it's fan base doesn't come at a cost. They are not going to say anything until people have paid their entrance fee on Monday weather permitting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 We have made an early decision to postpone Monday’s Premiership fixture against Leicester at the East of England Arena. The forecast has been monitored throughout today and the situation hasn’t changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasser90 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 4 hours ago, TTT said: I'd rather have a team called the Peterborough Prowlers or something that competes in a new stadium under Tomalin's ownership rather than watching Buster Chapman destroy our club while taking the pish out of the fans who have supported this club for years and years. Last year was a mickey take to a point where the guy sat on his arse and done nothing about it, 2023 was supposed to be a reset and new era but it's turning out to be a nightmare where we're looking at running with guests for 2 months all because Buster doesn't want to give Chris Holder a job. To be fair to the club. It’s not pedersen calling the shots here. His polish club have been pretty harsh on him and left him with a decision to make, and it’s a no brainer for him to leave pboro with what his polish club are willing to do. If he hadn’t have crashed we wouldn’t even be having this discussion and all would be well, unfortunately it’s speedway and Poland rule the roost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fast becoming a pussy sport. In this particular case they can postpone the news on Nicki P departure was so so predictable what would happen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
