LagutaRacingFan Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 We need to boycott, to force Buster out. If we boycott, Buster will have to sell at a low price. Shall I set up a Facebook page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough Speedway will close unless Buster Chapman sells the club. That is the reality of the situation we're now in. Break until the next few home meeting's and I guarantee everyone the attendances will be shocking unless 2 or 3 team changes are made. Nobody is going to pay money to see a 1-7 lose by a double figure margin whilst struggling to get 3-3's all night long. You are totally correct - hope Buster has DEEP POCKETS because it’s gonna be expensive! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rent to pay, and the crowds will be poor at both venues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 (edited) Another embarrassing performance from the Also rans of the league. I see that Johnson had told the Speedway star that the "keyboard warriors" should back off Buster and point the blame at himself and sidekick Pratt for this shambolic season...

Lukas Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 It must be a difficult job working for a promotion that have ulterior motives..at least with Ged he cared about winning...which is kind of important in sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some riders love it, but there's more who struggle with it. It can't be the shale, because it was Skidder or FB I think that said it was the best meeting they had seen in years when Poole was in town. And from what I have read, there have been a few of them this season. A bit of dirt is a good thing, but if it's got a lot of clay content and soaked, it becomes super grippy, and it makes most riders cautious because there not used to it and the way the bike rea last weekcts.... Peterborough proves this. They have had a few great meetings, with the same shale as they have had crap ones. A bit less top surface, and a bit less water …. Maybe? Four loads of wet clay added before BV meeting. Nothing else. Normally it is two of clay to one of shale. That's why it was crap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl not to blame for the performances. He's just being forced to work with a woeful team that wouldn't put in a good team performance under any manager. Only thing I don't agree with regarding Carl is him sticking up for Buster. Surely he could walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsman Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 To put things into perspective,even the multi trophy winning Peter Adams has a struggling side at Wolves this season. Remember that Carl Johnson his still finding his way in the top league .With so few fixtures to play with ,if any team has a bad run of injuries ,they have no chance to catch up again.

The promoters, collectively, love to hate the keyboard warriors. What they really hate is any critical feedback, which in any other business helps to shape the future operating policy. What they forget is that before the rise of the keyboard there were many, many thousands ( 10x as many 50 years ago ) who went to the pub or talked about it at work and across the garden fences - in a critical way, that is what people do who passionately care about a sport. Now you have to be a sycophant to be a fan in UK speedway and adore the promoter as well as the riders you most enjoy on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 The term keyboard warriors seems to me the only riposte promoters have when they can't or won't give any credible reason for the shambles such has been served up recently. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair point you make but there is a bit more to it than that isn't there? 2 posts yes i have only just signed up because i dont come on here moaning about the clubs or management just the miserable beggars who can only see negative Dont underestimate my knowledge of speedway ,and its working 50 years inside and outside the sport.Its on the slide for sure but is it any wonder there is NO money in it without TV and no TV without a league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes agree with you - BUT feel you should have added “especially when the owner ripped apart his anticipated side before the season even started”. He was on a hiding to nothing from the off and we could all see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
