Peterborough Panthers 2018

Definitely 2 wrong Panthers89

 

Don't tell him that, it only means another half dozen teams.

Well you have to assume the problem is far from resolved as there has been nothing put on the Panthers website for almost 3 weeks other than official BSPA announcements and if it has been resolved then I can't believe the negativity being shown by the management , it doesn't look very encouraging IMO from a promoter who wanted to have a fans forum in late October or early November seems to me something is amiss , not even a response to the BSPA AGM or even if we had a representative there, must tell fans all is not well.

 

You can't assume anything from the club website. Whoever runs it just usually reacts when the news appears somewhere else, if you're lucky. Panthers have declared that they are running. Don't see the problem really. Communication is never great and comes in short bursts.

Something not quite right!! At recent supporters club event word was there would be no appeal and Rathbone free to carry on if he so wished. Subsequent information would have it that there will be an appeal and Rathbone still suspended. No action or mention of Godfrey's fate which must assume will be minimal since he is still number 2 Mafia man and seems able to commence team building with no restrictions.

I believe SCB recommended there should be another hearing in Godfrey's case ,so innocent until proven guilty.

The Saga continues. Statement from SCB following meeting 7th November stated

(1) BSPA taken on too much power

(2) Decisions taken not in best interests of Speedway

(3) No further action against Rathbone

(4) Godfrey to face SCB court hearing

 

However currently Godfrey still number 2 at BSPA, court hearing not happened or no date set,Godfrey free to proceed with team building.

 

Rathbone it seems is still suspended , still has to appeal , therefore not able to commence team building.

 

Seems BSPA have so far ignored action mentioned in statement , which seems to me grossly unfair.

Yes it is unfair if this is how it stands , as Panthers will not be allowed to start team building until ban is lifted and will lose out on prospective riders they maybe would be tracking , whilst the rest of the teams in championship take there pick and we would be left to pick up the dregs that no one else wants , which to me is an unfair advantage . Suppose if the BSPA can't get Ged one way they are going to get him another way . BSPA need to get moving on this as fans will suffer and some will drift away and never return .

Who says Ged can't proceed with team building?

Why do you think the silence is so deafening.

So does anyone think ged has actually been stuffed from the south coast..but is choosing to stay tight lipped about it??? Or is it just Godfrey? I'm nearly starting to feel sorry for ged. There is still way more to this.

 

I think that he ignored the best advice given to him when Rick Frost allegedly warned him about that lot. If it was a management decision then Swales should have known better anyway. Then with all that in mind Rathbone still gambled and lost so it's hard to feel sympathy. Is there more to it? Maybe or maybe not. They'll just let it die down until people forget.
