Crump99 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Peterborough can't get riders to ride for the team because there is no future with the club, working for a hire and fire company . just go and spend thousands on equipment and then 2 months down the line you are on the scrap heap . Do the job that you've been brought in to do and you'll be fine. As has been said, if not then you could be out. If you don't think that you can meet those requirements then don't buy the equipment and don't sign the contract. If you choose to but it doesn't work then whose fault is that? The club and fans seem pretty loyal to those doing the job expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about riders who come in and do the job asked, up their averages and then are used to gain extra points when making multiple team changes because anoter rider is not pulling their weight? Im not levying this directly at P'Boro as many clubs do this. Should be be disallowed to drop a rider who has increased his starting average? Or should there be some sort of severance package introduced? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 we got bitten big time by sarj last season and now ge plans to double his average and become a glasgow hero all because he defrauded workington spedway last year .

Hopefully other clubs will take a rider who is doing their job but became as casualty because of others who weren't (didn't that happen to Ashley Morris under Rathbone?). Put yourself in the position of the promoter who's paying the bills and probably losing money. What would you do? It's just an unfortunate situation and not compatible with the compensation culture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Two of the riders that were sacked have returned this year, so there doesn't appear to be any sour grapes with them. Riding on a Sunday is the biggest hurdle in my opinion. With so few fixtures next season, you would think we could organise our fixtures around Poland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the shape of the business model is not working successfully and sadly you are going down the pan then you have to change the business model , unfortunately Panthers have a history of getting the initial business model wrong and by the looks of things concerning this we are on course for a repeat performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 100% we seem to have a fetish for this strength in depth team building and then soon realise we're not getting enough heat winners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it was a disaster when Frost and Mahoney left just as the penny finally dropped. I thought this was the sustainable level everyone craved?

New era Panthers Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Scott Campos? Yes and he did a brilliant job 3+1 in the first leg of k/o cup final which was enough to make sure Panthers won the trophy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
