Peterborough Panthers 2019

For Tungate to fit the reductions have to apply as first expected

So the removal of reduction yheory would be a red herring if he is the replacement

So is buster the 100% owner now? Dosent add up as ged stated on radio a while back saying buster gave ged a budget for the team and the team was put together within budget and approved by buster..

 It's the BSPA themselves, not just Chapman, who own Pboro and Ippo I'm sure: bought, on paper, purely to keep the league going.

I don't know what's behind this, be it the 2.5 % ave reduction cock up, money, or whatever, but the Panthers team looked very expensive and was completed very early. Buster saved the Prem for 2019. No other promoter was interested.... Only in their own club..It must of hindered Lynn in some way as well, not that you are bothered. Lets see what happens shall we.. The Panthers have a strong team with Tungate who I think will be signed, if not already lined up.

The press release is quite clear that the explanation is financial (whether one believes that is a matter of choice but that's the reason given), which begs the question why it's taken a month to realise. That's hardly unforeseen.

Taking aves from official green sheets for end of season....

Harris 7.78

BWD 5.27

Cook 7.73

Wright 5.14 (reduction confirmed from press release)

Andersen 7.56

Bjerre 7.08 CL ÷ 1.5 = 4.72

Barker 7.05 CL ÷ 1.5 = 4.70

Total 42.90

 

Btw.... Tungate is 7.61

I know that it's listed as a money matter.I don't know if it's covering up for something else. The Panthers with Harris, Cook and Hans looked expensive from the start. We don't know why it wasn't questioned before. I questioned it as soon as the team was complete.

I can't see how it will improve Lynn who already have Kasper on a 4.0 who averaged 2.55 in 18. Bomber on an inflated ave would be an own goal imho. Would it improve Ippo..Maybe would give them a fair top 3. Given Cook and Hans wages. That looks more likely.

Ged said in a radio interview before Christmas that he was given a budget to work with and buster was happy with the team being put together within that budget..

It would of been some budget for that team to be assembled.. Much more than at Lynn and Ippo.

Even taking reductions for Harris and Cook makes the total 0.02 over rounding up the conversions...

IMO lies more lies and subterfuge ,lies and deceit seems to be the default position for those in charge of our sport.

 

 Probably they will blame Brexit and Theresa May

It's not the lies it's the untold truths that are being withheld from supporters . Speedway promoters are like a cross between politicians and dodgy secondhand car dealers .

I won’t hold my breath.  

I apologise :t:

The whole situation though is an absolute stinker. May be that now Buster is in full control Neil Watson doesn't have a job anymore? What could he add if so??

No doubt after this latest fiasco he would be happy to stand down , he's been used in my opinion.

Either that or Diane Abbott is doing the accounts and Stanley Unwin the PR:

"Now, as eve on his deep approach, his eye on the moon. Alltime sometime deept joy of a full moon scintyladen dangly in the heavenly bode. But now only half! So, gathering all behind him the hintermost, he ploddy-ploddy forward into the deep complicadent fundermold of the forry to sort this one out.”

Put the words 'slag' or 'zuzel' in there and you would have had the Google translation as reported in Poland...:)

Maybe that's whats behind the 'BSPA Ltd' plan mentioned at the AGM?

ie 'own' every rider..?

Then do what's needed to spread them about around the teams to try and make it competitive?

Efffectively rider control but without the name, (and stigma)..?

And all teams under one central commander controlling budgets and spending to ensure continuation of the sport?
