Hodgy Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Yes, here we go again. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Rathbone move into Redcar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair watching Lakeside for the 134th time this year with understrength teams which barely resembled Panthers was hardly going to pull in the masses. And where was the promotion, the big build ups? Barely anything in social media. Edited October 9, 2018 by Noodles 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him to be honest. The commuting from up north to Peterborough every week must take its toll, plus affecting his time working and with family. Seems like Ged is a good guy, with his heart and head in the right place.. Just hope someone can come forward to take Peterborough on as it seems a great club, and deserves some stability off track. British speedway needs good tracks like the showground too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Will end up at Redcar I'm sure and Panthers will be in the gutters as per norm it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Ged and the directors at Redcar certainly never used to get on, he has tried in the past to invest and been rebuffed. Things do change though I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Or glass half full, someone comes in and takes Panthers back in to the top division. Wouldn’t rule anything in or out at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Certainly some interesting comments in the statement. With Rathbone have so much capital tied up in Peterborough would his hand not be forced to continue if no buyer came in? If and its a horrible if, the club folded would selling off the assets get anywhere near the money he has invested? and would anyone even buy them?

Ulrich & Lambert the first two names on the Redcar team sheet. Gutted about Ged selling up but I suppose it was bound to happen at some time or other especially with all the travelling involved not will it happen but when. I am not so sure even with a new person at the helm if it could ever recover from this and i'm not so sure a lot of those who have done so much work behind the scenes , supporters club and track helpers would want to carry on either , sad times for the club it might seem like doom and gloom but that is how I see it .

Think both these could be correct and Peterborough's loss is Redcar's gain as Ged has made no secret that he would like to run his home town club, I also would like to think Peterborough will be safe as they do have a strong following and there should be interest, there maybe needs to be a serious discussion with the EOS management as I do not think they have helped matters with stadium availability this season. However good luck to both clubs going forward Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
