Storming Norman Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 How wonderful that Rick, Julie and Readypower again ensure the Panthers take to the track. They must be special people - contributing so much and getting so little out of it. Rick and Julie, huge thanks for looking after the Panthers and saving one of the best race tracks in Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 You being sarcastic? The kitty is still £10k short before they can commit to running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) I'll make that public when everybody else does! It's not been made clear exactly how much this ReadyPower news has put into the pot. So we're still in the dark about what the situation is and how it's changed since last week. Why can't they just say something like: we needed £40,000 when we had the fans meeting, as at last week were up to £24,000 (or whatever), And now ReadyPower's sponsorship adds another £X, and we are now up to £Y. So we still need £Z if only it was "mute".......... you meant "moot" surely? p.s. it's a Panthers thread, so STFU about feckin' Newcastle (and Berwick and Sheffield et al) Oh, and ffs stop bigging yourself up. Ha Ha Ha. Shut it, and get giving. Edited November 20, 2014 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Will any of the £40K go towards paying money owed to riders from last season, or did they eventually get paid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Will any of the £40K go towards paying money owed to riders from last season, or did they eventually get paid? ALL riders owed money from last season, has been paid already according to Ged/Trevor at the crisis meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Am I missing something, or will we have money through the turnstiles next year ? If we have got £54k (30k from fans & 24k already covering start up costs) plus Readypower sponsorship, surely the gate receipts should cover the other running costs ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Do they not have to lodge a bond with the BSPA? Not sure how many £k that would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Surely even if there isnt another penny from the fans the Panthers will run. The Readypower money must make the difference - unless they werent gonna run if they failed to secure a main sponsor even if the fans got to the £40k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 The sponsorship money will just be the North transfer fee and all the loan fees from Niels, Troy, Hans and Bjerre. That should come to over 25k 40k + 25k = £65k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers89 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Should sacrifice a bit of the loan fee for the riders, to use some of the better talents from the clubs that we could use in the Premier League, e.g, Lynn and Coventry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 The sponsorship money will just be the North transfer fee and all the loan fees from Niels, Troy, Hans and Bjerre. That should come to over 25k 40k + 25k = £65k Surely with these riders the likes of Kings Lynn and Coventry should be forced by the Management of the BSPA to pay a transfer fee for these riders. Mind thats a bit like Turkeys voting for Christmas. I dont think Frosty and Julie will be going without Turkey this Christmas if No transfer fee is paid over for any of their assets.

wealdstone Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 It would be nice to have an update as to where we are, many I am sure are confused having had an additional £24 k thrown into the mix which had not been mentioned previously. I am also confident that if it would save the club most fans would be happy for the supporters club to donate the money being collected for the track grader to the cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grader has already been purchased by the supporters club. For those that want to help with smaller amounts might be interested to know that there will be 'brick wall' page in the programme. A brick can contain a personal message or advert and will cost just £10 for the whole season. If anyone is interested in this please contact Alison by emailing pantherspledge2015@gmail.com Edited November 22, 2014 by Noodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
em1500uk Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hope the rest of the money can be found over these next few days. Bit of a delayed post, but nice of bigcatdiary to make himself known to me at the fans event last month Let's hope the Panthers can race on into 2015 and beyond! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em1500uk Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Your welcome I must confess, I was surprised! I never expected anyone to notice me there really, but then again, with my face being on show on here, it's not hard for people to recognise me as my look never changes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em1500uk Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I think all monies had to be in by this coming Thursday (27th November). I thought I'd seen that stated on Facebook just recently anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
