TTT

Theory If Andersen & Worrall are in then maybe NKI is actually out for a different No.1 on a higher average that no ITK has heard about?

If Panthers didn't exist then I'd nip down to KL a few times but I wouldn't support them, I'd just go to watch a few meetings at the AFA as a neutral fan. Reason I said that earlier is normally you see fans of previous clubs that don't exist anymore end up heading down to the nearest local track and some of them end up supporting that club. Take Swindon fans heading down to Oxford as a recent example.

Ideally I'd like Hans Andersen to go but it doesn't sound like it. We just cant run almost 2.5 under the limit because the team wouldn't be competitive imo.

I see Hawkins has let the fans know that Ipswich won't be making any announcements for a few weeks, That tells me they're still trying for Emil. Also tells us they've got no interest in signing Worrall unless it's out of desperation at the eleventh hour, It's a case of we'll settle for him if we cant get anyone else.

If the club insist of being loyal to Hans again then Ben Cook has to released for Troy Batchelor. Yes it's harsh on Ben but you simply cannot go almost 2.5 under the limit and expect to compete at this level with anyone.

Club will have some explaining to do if we end up with the inevitable. The 1-7 hype train in full effect, Trying to get people to part with good money during a cost of living crisis, Fans kept in the dark all winter with a lack of info etc. I could honestly see fans supporting King's Lynn or Ipswich instead starting from next season tbh considering Peterborough won't have a future after the 2023 season if the club doesn't have a new owner with new land. The die hard Speedway fans will still want to see their regular fix of racing live each week and KL/Ipswich are the closest tracks to us for them to visit.

I don't have a problem with Worrall signing as he'll hold his own and do a job but Hans Andersen on a 4.93 when you've got over 7.00 points left isn't a tolerable singing in my book. With Polish lower league riders now allowed to do 4 leagues now you throw money at them and get one of them over because money talks and one of them is bound to budge. MJJ, Pawlicki, Lahti, Nilsson, Buczkowski, Zagar, Lyager, Berntzon, Kildemand, Lindback, Tungate, Patrick Hansen etc.

If they're both in (Likely imo) then I wouldn't put it past the club to delay the announcements until press and practice day considering how much of a negative impact it will have on season ticket sales.

If Buster is in charge at Panthers and you don't get Emil then he'll be at Ipswich imo. If Buster is in charge at Panthers and Ipswich do get a deal done with Emil then I don't think we'll see Holder over here. I just cant picture a scenario where Holder & Buster work together again after the King's Lynn shambles from a few years back, I can only see Holder at Peterborough if Michael Tomalin completes a takeover tbh.

I think the team actually gets even worse than expected now because something is really off behind the scenes, I think the following now happens. Buster remains in charge and the team will be NKI, Andersen, Tungate, Worrall, Basso, B. Cook & Jenkins

Only thing that makes sense is Hans & Worrall hence the reason why the club don't want to announce the side imo.

Sounds like Worrall to me.

Just people saying they're not buying a season ticket in a heated way.

Very.

Another day of silence. Things cant be running smoothly at all behind the scenes imo, The delay in everything is just a bit too lengthy imo.

Very true.

Teams obviously signed because the promotion wouldn't keep bragging about the side otherwise, Jenkins has also said he's going to learn something from all of them. They're just coming across as hesitant to announce the 1-7 for some reason while continuing to push season ticket sales via the club site as well as various social media platforms. Got Hans Andersen and Richie Worrall written all over this imo if Ipswich manage to find another Heat Leader because they'll surely give the other spot to Hume if they do get a lucky phone call from someone like Dudek, Zagar etc. as the season gets closer.

Panthers got to announce something in the morning for me. Spending two days straight promoting season tickets when we don't even have half a team announced gives out bad vibes imo. If the team is a title challenging team then surely you'd want to announce them in quick fire fashion to shift as many season tickets as possible so the fans know what they're buying. Delay after delay on team announcements just leaves a portion of the fan base to hold back on purchasing a season ticket. Only fans who would be jumping at the chance to buy a season ticket now with only 3 riders announced are the ones who'd be happy to have a 1-7 involving Ostergaard, Simon Lambert, Hans Andersen and Scott Nicholls.

Look at some of the replies on Carl Johnson's season ticket post on the Panthers Supports Club page on facebook. Patience is beginning to run out now.

Very true.

My head tells me that the rumoured leaked team will turn out to be correct with Tungate, NKI, Holder & Andersen. However I've also got a gut feeling that just won't go away and that's a thought about the team being poor to a point where the club are tentative to announce the signings at a quicker pace.

Panthers press release yesterday promoting season tickets again, Carl Johnson promoting season tickets on facebook 10 minutes ago as well.

Same here. I've got my money ready for a season ticket but I'm waiting for the team to be announced first because I won't buy one if the team contains both Andersen & Worrall because we'll just be a punch bag for other clubs again.

They could find another HL though which is why I'm not ruling anything out at the moment. Ipswich have certainly got the funds to pull off another big move this winter considering they've tried getting Emil over.
