Peterborough Panthers 2019

Err, let's remind ourselves of what Ged said on 10th December:

Buster (Keith Chapman) has let us get on with what we want to do - we’ve been given a very realistic budget to build a team, and he’s trusted us to get on with it.

“Team-building has all been done by the management team so we’ve carried on in exactly the same way that we have done previously, very much in the Peterborough mould. We want to compete and we want to win.

“We haven’t paid silly money for riders or offered them silly contracts. We’ve got riders who want to ride for Peterborough Speedway because of the ethos we have at the club.”

Looking more  like Harris has been released due to the average reduction mess up,  the statement doesn't say if Ged is still involved or not more to come i fear. 

I think they have been too diplomatic with the real reasons behind the statement, unforeseen circumstances is not just about the earnings of Chris Harris . Telling supporters the truth and the real reasons behind this is how you get supporters on side.

The missing info in the press release is who are the new owners, much more important than news of a released rider IMO

States on the SGP website Keith chapman has now completed the takeover so appears new owner is buster as per initial announcements

Peterborough were looking like the team to beat and really sorry to read that they have released Harris.  I wonder who they will bring in to replace him that is cheaper than him on a similar average? Nicholls to Peterborough and Harris to Ipswich? Or is that two (heat leader) Brits on the sidelines when the season starts?

Personally i'd rather have Tungate at Boro. Bomber could end up at Lynn if NKI is not doing the UK  :neutral:

What a piss take for all parties!

1. The rider - Chris was signed and probably had offers elsewhere but chose Ged and the Panthers.

2. The Club - what a shambles, a winter of positives for the first time in years now ruined. Why sign the rider?

3. The replacement - will know he’s the cheap option 

4: The replacement 2 - will know panthers are desperate and could hold the club to ransom 

Wonder how many fans who have brought season tickets will be questioning that now!

must be Buster throwing his weight around. Not happy that Peterborough have put such a good team together so decides Harris has to go....if buster tries to sign him for lynn I hope Harris tells him where to stick it the offer. 

That would be a stupid thing for Harris to do - given the only places left are all Buster's clubs! I'm sure he would rather be riding and earning than watching - assuming the terms are right.

Anyone looking for a brand new Panthers Race Suit in Chris Harris' size............. This could only happen in G.B. Speedway, still looking for that LOYALTY & CREDIBILITY!
