New era Panthers

In how many meetings though.

No thanks I think we can do better than that.

I take it he's not on your xmas card list then.

Rather go for a strength in depth team than see poser Porsing ride for Panthers , but i'm still hoping we can pull a rabbit out of the hat from somewhere.

Your last line explains why.

If you read the last couple of lines at the bottom it states as advised by individual clubs, and as there is no mention of the forum or anything to do with signings on the Panthers website , I am not surprised

The burghers are not bad from Iceland either

That's we all want to see top class racing at the end of the day.

You wish.

Maybe it will be a big hitter for NO1 , might be Ged playing his cards very close not letting on to anybody until a deal is sealed , I hope so anyway as if we want to win anything next season then we will need a competitive big hitter at NO1

Would have made an ideal NO1 for Panthers , but Chapman's going to make sure Panthers suffer with teams such as Berwick ,Newcastle Lakeside and Workington creating the have's and have not's . BSPA creating a division within a division which is only going to harm those mentioned.

No great loss to Panthers IMO, I think he will struggle to maintain 8.32 average next year and would have certainly declined riding for Panthers at NO1.

I was there and I never heard it mentioned but there was quite a large gathering and even arriving 15 minutes before start of forum which was then put back another 15 minutes as people were still arriving and was seated well back some of the said comments came over rather muffled so possibly could have missed something but what I did hear wouldn't have suggested anything like that. may be the 1.3 is for existing premier league riders upto 6 point average with no previous championship average for what ever use that is.

Not heard about that , can you please tell what thread you read this on. It would make common sense for those teams that are struggling to put together a competitive team as opposed to teams running understrength thus crowds falling and more threats of closures.

He's now on the SCB as well as being chairman of the infamous BSPA. All in the interests of British speedway , my arse.

Posh supporters know nothing about football ,so i'm pretty sure they wouldn't know anything about speedway.

I think there was more chance of a off a pay off from Witches to get shut of Sedgmen than Panthers paying him a signing on fee for 2018 and i'm sure C Louis would have been a lot more discreet about that.

Well if it upsets you so much why don't you get in touch with the Donald Trump of speedway at the BSPA and now SCB and tell him all about it , All they did was tell the truth , maybe you didn't like the comment of calling the fox hole a dump but it did get a good laugh.

This is exactly why those concerned at the BSPA should reverse there stupid decision of barring the likes of Nicholls and Kennett from entering the Championship they are both British and as there was to be no restrictions on team building in the Championship and suddenly now there is . Chapman's chumps are at it again .

According to Newcastle thread Kus has reportedly signed a contract to ride in Poland for 2018 if true that's a no no.

How convenient is that then .

Well we will just have to look on the bright side and hope then , October 2018 is not that far away.

Plus a special guest, Jason Pipe would be my guess

Well we were lucky we didn't get him either way , too inconsistent and accident prone IMO.

So is there anybody who can explain the reasoning for this when there a few teams struggling to find a decent NO1. madness IMO
