PE7Panther Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 We had Bjerre/Thomsen for a few matches. I'm sure even Peterborough United could afford the wages of Messi for a couple of weeks. MacBlarney wouldn't shell out for the wages of the Turkish Messi, let alone the real one! I think that they cared or they wouldn't have bought it in 2008 or wasted their time and money for 5 somehow potless seasons. They just didn't seem to get the fan side of it quite as much as GR does, that's all, and let Bratters go who would have continued to bridge that gap for them. The current silence is very much in keeping with previous seasons though as Rodders would no doubt confirm so it's a bit same as tbh. They only "cared" insofar as they got enthusiastic about their new hobby and dreamed of their team becoming champions (why else did they jump ship to Poole?) But they always gave the impression that they viewed the fans - or most of us - as something the cat dragged in. Plenty of muck, plenty of brass - but no class.

Crump99 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 They only "cared" insofar as they got enthusiastic about their new hobby and dreamed of their team becoming champions (why else did they jump ship to Poole?) But they always gave the impression that they viewed the fans - or most of us - as something the cat dragged in. Plenty of muck, plenty of brass - but no class. I'd imagine that they jumped ship because it was cheaper and less hassle to jump on the back of someone else's success. It's not really achieving their aim though as who remembers sponsors is like who came second. I just think that they were out of their comfort zone with some of the paying punters but it was nothing that couldn't have been put right with the right people in place. They had class but probably not on your level which is different to no class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgy Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Great news and early too. FULL STEAM AHEAD! Thursday September 29, 2016 PROMOTER Ged Rathbone is delighted to be able to confirm that Peterborough will race in the Premier League in 2017. Rathbone has taken time to consider his future involvement in speedway following a difficult campaign, but he is now determined to continue taking the club forward. And it really is full steam ahead after Panthers received a major financial boost by thrashing out a new agreement with major backers T Balfe Construction for the next two years. In a message to supporters, Rathbone said: "Everyone is well aware of the amount of time and money that has gone into running Peterborough Speedway for the last couple of years. "It has turned into a seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year job for myself and my partner, Lisa - and an unpaid one at that! "It obviously has a huge impact on our families and friends, but it is a labour of love as far as we are concerned. "We have such an affection for the sport, for Peterborough as a club, and for the fantastic fans - 99.9 per cent of whom have given us such brilliant backing. "We've not once regretted stepping forward in the winter of 2014 to ensure the racing continued in Peterborough, and we're not about to let all the hard work go to waste. "We have learned a lot of valuable lessons during 2016 and missing out on the play-offs was a huge blow to everyone involved with the club. "But success is not judged solely on what happens on the track. We continue to run a very tight ship and are well on course to have every bill paid without making a loss for the second successive season. "That is a triumph in itself in such a tough financial climate, and that is also why it is important to have the support of a perfect sponsor in T Balfe Construction. "David Balfe has been much more than a backer. He is always available at the end of the phone if we need any advice and he is a fantastic person to deal with. I think we've managed to get him hooked on speedway as well! "Now we just need to complete the purchase of the equipment from Readypower and I don't foresee any problems. Rick Frost has always been a man of his word in our dealings so far and don't expect that to change." And Rathbone revealed he and his management team are already formulating possible team plans for the 2017 season. While he is keeping the names of potential targets under his hat at this stage, Rathbone is not afraid to speak of his major aim for next term. "Our home form has to be addressed," he added. "It has let us down in the past two seasons and is quite frankly unacceptable. "We got away with it and reached the semi-finals of the play-offs in 2015, but it cost us dear this year as we just missed out. "We are well aware of the need to put together a team that is capable of winning at home on a regular basis. We have to entertain our fans and give them the success they crave. "The crowds were consistently good for the vast majority of 2016. We thank the supporters for sticking by us in a tough 2016 and hope they will continue to turn out in force when we aim to enjoy more success in 2017. "I can promise them we're already working hard on potential signings although we can't push on too far with our plans until the rules are set in stone at the British Speedway Promoters' Association AGM. "And I can promise everyone that I will be stressing at the annual meeting that those rules must be enforced strongly and consistency, regardless of the clubs or individuals involved. "Everyone knows that the politics of this sport do frustrate me, but they will always be there. I'm committed to changing speedway for the better, but it will be a slow process over time."

jenga Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) 1- K. Bjerre - 8.22 2- Newman- 6.31 3- Hansen - 6.25 4- L.Bjerre - 6.65 5- Schlein - 7.17 6- Ellis - 4.76 7- Shanes - 3.00 i havent worked out the averages , but i would personally go for ricky well instead of K.K.H. as ricky will give you much more scoring power away from home . i am sure the team building averages will be lowered in 2017 to try and push certain top riders into the light league and also the bspa will be looking to add to their baby ( E.L.) by looking for two more teams to move up.. .

Panther1997 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 For me, now that we know we are going to have a team, a big thank you to Ged. Ged has said he wants our home form to improve. The first two riders I would get on very good aveages are- Kenneth Hansen - 6.25 Lasse Bjerre - 6.65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
