Crump99 Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Blimey! Even I can remember one of those and not many Speedway things stick in my memory. Just toddling round at the back in all of his heats....I won't say all of his races because heats is the best way to describe his efforts as he certainly didn't race. I do laugh at the likes of Louis and Tatum etc on TV saying how riders should get on with it in all conditions and just return to the start without stopping off at the pits for any reason for restarts. Black pots and kettles spring to mind. Indeed you are quite correct, I was at a meeting there when cl and loram rode round the track before meeting shaking their heads in dismay at the track. So it happens I agree, but tbf your lot took it to another level with their whinging this year!!! Before you say, I understand some of our riders baulked at worky last night!!! Jeez, it must have really been dull in the Prem before our unfortunate (for us anyway) arrival. Makes a change for us to whinge though, we were always getting whinged at in the EL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 Harris riding in Poland today..but not earning much money so far, so maybe that's why he will be putting the panthers first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take the quote too literally, it was clearly reactionary. Why go to all that hassle when you can ride at home anyway.

hans fan Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Don't surprise me tbh! His missus and his ass lickers on Facebook aren't happy he's been sacked.... must be a minority as he's been pretty cack his missus is a very nice lady the same as Hansen is a nice lad , even she was saying the other week what was he doing riding the inside , if Hansen had showed a bit form and wasn't injured ill so much Geds decision would have been a lot more difficult , it was a real no brainer Edited May 29, 2017 by hans fan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 How anyone could argue against replacing any of Hansen, Ostergaard, Lambert or even Bacon is beyond me. The worrying thing is that it's the second year on the trot we've blindly gone into a season with a strength in depth side hoping/expecting these riders will add a couple of points to their averages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It been mentioned by myself and a few others previously next week Tungate/Allen and Ellis could replace 2 out of that 3. If we sign 2 of those 3 and line up as below that has to be better surely?

scoobydoo Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Theres an element of good luck required when a teams been assembled will they improve ave wise ,get no injuries, not suffer persistent mechanical lssues. Redcar signed Ellis Perks on just over a 2pt ave hes now upto around 6 thats the luck you need, Lewis Kerr is flying at the moment but has struggled since his bad crash hes now looking the rider he was again , its not easy without the luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, however history suggests that Ostergaard is on the decline, Lambert was on an inflated 5.25 and Hansen was going to good at home and poor away. A rider like Cameron Heeps for example looked a bargain on his average at the end of last season. Edited May 29, 2017 by Flappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you riding on Sundays it might have been even more with all his grass track . Of course not, however history suggests that Ostergaard is on the decline, Lambert was on an inflated 5.25 and Hansen was going to good at home and poor away. A rider like Cameron Heeps for example looked a bargain on his average at the end of last season. A few did question the return of Heeps but he's been a star this season, should that at your place . Shame the management left him out of heat 15 when he was by far our quickest rider that day missing dirt deflector or not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the one change this year to be fair, and that was a no brainer. Who wouldn't have swapped a low scoring Hansen for Bomber ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that the management team all chip in. It's a collective decision without anyone specific at fault. "Swales insists the latest pair of arrivals leave Panthers in the enviable position of having been able to attract all of their first-choice targets." - 8/12/16 Swales added: “When myself, Ged Rathbone and Carl Johnson first sat down as a management team a few weeks ago, this is the team we wanted to put together.

scoobydoo Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Rathbone is no different to any other promotion who have a blank canvass to work with most will fail apart from one each season, he makes changes because he wants to be a winner who doesn't even Glasgow made changes last season . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, Panthers have traditionally done nothing or made pointless like for like changes. Rathbone is different in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 This is just a question for you Pboro fans. Why did some of you want Holder to leave?? I thought he was doing quite well for you and perhaps the other day he was just not in the mood. But Harris and Holder is good together in heat 13 and it also means Harris can give Holder some advice. Ellis is a must look at target and Tungate. Ellis will come in to somewhere in the championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must have got your wires crossed somewhere. Edited May 29, 2017 by New era Panthers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
