actually i do believe him as he has aiways seemd to me to be to be very  honest with his statements - guess  the fall gave him a big reallity check and perhaps he should quit altogether (but obviously his decision) as it was an awful crash he had last year - good luck Niki no hard feelings from me 

Quite right - we have to decide on stopping something at some point, for him he has been riding for 25 years or more - I can remember seeing him at Owlerton in 98, for all we know this might be his last season in Poland also.

I remember the Malcolm Simmons fiasco at Arena in 89 or was it 90, came back to ride did really well - then bust his ankle mid season never came back but it took ages for the fact he'd decided to call in a day (at 43) to filter through. He admitted later he'd lost the desire to race etc - fair enough but come out and say that and be honest.

Didn't Shawn Moran do something similar?

Came back to ride for Sheffield in 2nd division, nowhere near as good as he previously was, then quit.

My memory's a bit fuzzy, but didn't he effectively say he'd lost his bottle, lasted more than a bend though!

A sensible post. As it has proved. Sick of Panthers fans blaming Buster for everything. He got NP in at great cost. His fault NP bottled it. Nope...RW  was slagged off as well as a  Buster.'s signing... Mt has done nothing he promised !!

I have  no connection with Buster apart from seeing  him walk his dog a few times. But some Panthers fans need to give their head a wobble.

Spot on ........... with one so-called "supporter" in particular being a constant moaner about anything remotely Buster related. 

Don't recollect that same moaner slagging everthing off a couple of years back when they took the league title!

This is disgraceful from Pedersen, there must be a way he can be held accountable for this kind of action. Utter contempt for Peterborough speedway and British fans. Absolute a**hole !!

I think if the full facts were known people's opinion would be different

Actually, I think the purpose of fixed race nights was to allow for the dreaded doubling 

I believe you may well be right, but let's follow the corporate line....:D

I know Worrall likes Leicester.. People was on his case after scoring 4 in his first meeting.. He's a 6 point rider :rolleyes:

2 meetings in...

Hans 5.77

Basso 6.50

NKI 6.90

RW 7.20

Give the team 4 meetings and see what you end up with.

Panthers fans spitting their dummy out after 1 meeting over RW. 

 

3000 in attendance & a handful on here talking crap - think that your calculator needs a service :)

Indeed it was 89, no internet back then but the fans were saying he might have lost the bottle to race after the tragic accident at Hackney where Paul Muchine lost his life, RIP

Hey Marko - good to see you on here - yes I’d phrased it a tad more gently - a few years later he had basically admitted he’d lost his nerve about racing. 
 

I was at Hackney that night sat on the exit of the 4th bend saw it all - horrible thing will never forget it or Paul!

Shooey lost his nerve no shame at all remember him coming over with Bellevue to race at owlerton when Sheffield re opened going into the 1 st corner lap 2 or 3 and looking over his shoulder to make sure no one was there before moving out to try to pass the rider in front not a good sign.if the nerve for racing had gone he did the right thing to get out
