Lukas Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I am not surprised that this day has passed without strengthening the team as there is no one there now who cares if we win or lose. We have been taken over by a guy with an ulterior motive.. wouldn't have happened under Ged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you suggest could have been signed to “strengthen up” and willing to ride in the UK and for Peterborough?

I thought he was in Charge of the teams Like Chris Louis is at Ipswich Carl Johnson is the team manager, Colin Pratt is in charge of the running of the sport at P/Boro.

I certainly don’t think Buster is the saviour by any means, but why do all Peterborough fans treat Rathbone as the messiah? It was him who sold the club to Chapman and ultimately is to blame for anything and not Buster, as he shouldn’t of sold in the first place.

Seen many times riders having to dodge around folk just chatting and not taking any notice whats going off around. When the Ref puts the 2 minute buzzer on and a rider has a problem who needs people in the way. As for Colin handing out the bands, he knows who should be allowed..........Not every Tom Dick and Harry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Rathbone the one that allegedly took money from a Polish club rather than have his best rider ride for the Panthers ? Not thinking of the fans or the other 6 riders if that's the case.. Could you imagine if Buster did that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged and team did a great job running and saving Peterborough. They decided to sell up for reasons stated. Surely if you are lucky enough to tempt a buyer in this game, you take it. Can’t see why the seller should be blamed for the buyers thereafter actions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely if you care about the club and fans (and selling up wasn't as reported a necessity) as stated then given the problems we've had since Frost 2010 to Holdergate then surely that raised some alarm bells of what might follow? If Rathbone chose an unkown without a known history then I'd agree what you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Ged Rathbone who decided to strip the team after what I would describe as a very good team Ged had put together and hand Ipswich Chris Harris was it, and as for the Cook saga from mid December when Chapman bought the club , he should have been aware of who had signed contracts and who had not before deciding to dismantle riders from the team and give Harris to Ipswich. Chapman is a total numpty and I hope he gets his fingers burnt, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman is a total numpty and I hope he gets his fingers burnt, Harris going Ipswich isn't a problem in my eyes panthers have a better rider in tungate biggest problem they've got was having a consistent heat winner in cook and ending up with another reserve .i can understand why carl says what he does but I haven't heard anybody say they believe him .its not as though he's gonna say buster is taking the p155 I wouldn't be having a team 3pts under limit if it was up to me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched it as the post prompted me and it did make me chuckle: Director of air fence cleaning operations, Director of painting, Director of tractor polishing and maintenance, and also part of the catering staff making tea for us after the meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Crikey who would want to own a speedway club !more negative than positive from Fans ! Why bother going if its all just moani about the owners the track .the weather. the world. jesus!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 As with most things Speedway we will never know the truth. Subterfuge and deviousness are the norm even when being up front is the best way. Neil Watson told me that he and Ged were to carry on as promoters and I do not believe he would tell me an out right lie. Ged told me that the team he put together was done so very cheaply and I believe that as well. He has been naïve in the extreme to put his faith in those he should not have. He also told me that he regretted selling the club. As regards the veracity of the new owners they sat at a fans forum knowing full well there was a problem with Cook but chose to pretend all was well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 The Cook and Harris situations stink that cannot be denied. The lack of a replacement for Cook is worse as it's cheating the paying public. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
