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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited January 18, 2019 by Crump99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambpanther Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 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..

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 Edited January 18, 2019 by 2ndbendbeerhut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hardly unforeseen. 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.

Flappy Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 With the right replacement Panthers could quite conceivably be stronger. It still stinks how this has been done though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
