I for one do not think he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 maybe Ged built a team that HE was going to track with the backing of T Balfe? Ged went and T Balfe went, leaving the shortfall? just a guess 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wealdstone Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I believe that Ged and Neil were deliberately left exposed to be totally undermined later.

People are doubting Busters If you look how fast the P/boro team was declared, and the riders/ cost. Then you look at he's beloved Lynn. Work out the cost of the teams. He was either casting Lynn aside for Boro or someone else was funding things, or crossed wires somewhere..

Byker Biker Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Interesting that Ipswich couldn't put a 1-7 together until Peterborough "released" a rider, with better gates at Foxhall you wouldn't want to start with a crap side, makes some sense to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Indeed, doesn’t seem like a money issue to me. Harris released to bolster Ipswich and solve the Tungate issue, Cook didn’t sign due to the sponsorship disagreement. Could be wrong of course but that’s how it looks to me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 But Baggy lets create a conspiracy theory so that we can hammer Buster. Easy target. So the guy is successful and has made a few bob. Hardly a hanging offence is it ? Or do supporters think all promotions should work thier butt off for no return ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but you have to put yourself in a P’boro supporters shoes....strong and exciting team announced with Harris and Cook spearheading and by the first meeting they are both gone and not adequately replaced. Also Buster was never really wanted by those supporters for various understandable reasons. Can’t blame people for being disillusioned. Need to see who they can come up with to replace Cook though. Wouldn’t necessarily rule out him signing in the end, anything possible. People feel let down at the moment but if / when they get a home win or two with some good racing it will make a big difference. I’m sure an Easter Monday victory would go down well Edited April 4, 2019 by Bagpuss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 I agree Baggy, but it is what it is. Tungate is a decent replacement for on the wain Harris. The Cook situation can’t be laid at Buster’s door as a contract hadn’t been signed so he was never a P’Boro rider to lose. At what point did Ged or Neil make it public that Cook had not signed for the Club ? To my limited knowledge they didn’t. So was that Busty’s fault as well ? Chapman gets a lot of krap on this forum, and plenty of it maybe justified. Just don’t see what he has done that wrong on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 He will always get grief, don’t think it bothers him in the slughtest though. I agree, some is justified and some not. Tungate probably no worse than Bomber scoring wise but a big difference in excitement value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take too much from Tungate's performance on Monday, which certainly want bad. He is not as good as Fricke or Bjerre but neither is Harris. Tungate was one of the most exciting riders to watch at the NSS. Give him a well prepared track with various racing lines and I'm sure he will soon win the fans round. He can sometimes struggle on small tracks, particularly Wolverhampton but my bet is that this season he will average about the same or better than Bomber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scrutton Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Buster should pull the plug at Peterbro' now and let the moaners stew But then there will be no Speedway this year or any year . Which will be unfair on the true supporters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
