And how has that partnership turned out?

I think both Mick, and especially Sandhu, have more blame on their hands than Neil Watson.

Neil is there to assist, he will be a willing helper. Bugger me it’s not like we’re asking him to ride and be our number one!!!!

More worrying is that given the circumstances Plummer has labelled Ged with the mad brush again.

I wish you well, have you had a hand in this team building process?

Jesus christ, and Peterborough fans thought it couldnt get any worse!

why on earth would any forward thinking promotion want this guy involved in their club? He, along with horton, has driven several clubs into the ground . 

Shocking news for pboro fans

The shocking news would have been if Panthers were not running. If you read what he's been brought in for then it makes perfect sense tbh. Rathbone still calls the shots and I'm sure that Neil will do a good job away from Supremo Horton. Given that Rathbone will be treading on eggshells with our lords and masters during 2018 I'd say that bringing in someone who seems to understand the rules and other issues as much as Neil is a smart move? Rathbone will no doubt listen to Neil and take his advice on board. I don't get the impression that that was one of Horton's strengths.

Apologies for a positive post, I'll go and lie down for a bit!

Anyone who thinks Horton wont be involved somehow really need their heads testing

Well if that's the case then I'd agree to part of the spirit of your first post, if not the tone. You're looking for a story which isn't there at the moment. Watch this space as they say.

the only burning question i have is, how on earth did you find someone that understands the rules of speedway . this guy should be in charge of the uk speedway scene

because the other muppets that claim to run it , could not run a raffle .

on the other hand . its not great to see him passing comments onto posters and (trying ) to defend himself . he would have been better off letting his performances in Peterborough 

speedway speak for him .

me, personally i dont know the guy. so i dont know how of his past history . 

good luck to him at the  puddts in 2018.

heard a whisper K.K.H.  is on his way back .

good ole jenga strikes again . 

good to see all teams living and fighting in 2018.

signed your fav poster .

Anyway back k to team building who's our last two signings........

I've  given up trying to work out where  the  2 riders are going to come from or if it's  going to be strength In depth or a big hitter and a low average rider personally I would prefer a big hitter at NO1 and possibly fit in Connor Mountain at reserve. Team building is not Panthers strongest point and I can see mid season changes will be part of the business yet again , just wish management tried filling the top end before filling the bottom end of the team .
