Probably stronger as there's no way in a million years Harris keeps that average up. The way all this has been handled is wrong but we may very well come out of it stronger on the track anyway.

It is wrong and we don't know who is to blame, but yes the Panthers will be my fav's with Wolves to lift the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He buys Ippo and Boro to keep the Prem going(big money risk). They didn't have to sell to him. It's cost him £££. Cookie is not cheap. Harris is not cheap. Hans can't be cheap.. I don't know what went on, but I find it hard to believe Buster agreed to pay big wages at Boro and less at his beloved Lynn and lesser to Ippo. I may be wrong..Are you right? It will be interesting to see where Bomber ends up, that might tell us something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody knows who the replacement rider is yet maybe have to take on another European import with very little or no experience of British tracks but who will ride for the money on offer , ive just got a feeling it will not be Tungate to be honest I might be wrong but that's how I feel, maybe Tungate will think what is on offer is an insult and turn it down.

firstbend Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Well, the way that the Buster Chapman empire has treated Chris Harris, I will never go to Peterborough Speedway again. The way they also treated Chris Holder, there should be some serious questions asked about the way they do their business. So now King’s Lynn and Peterborough off my list of tracks to visit . gutted for Chris Harris! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the end comes and the Club closes for the final time the pain of losing it will be eased by the knowledge that it’s Buster losing money and not Ged. . He could have asked Mick Bratley (who's on the scene now with HA around, for the moment anyway ) what to do and not to do at Peterborough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you include Ged in that, I don't think he had a lot to do with Chris Holder !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that Ipswich is also part of Buster’s so called EMPIRE I assume - better knock them on the head as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, does anyone know what Chapman has paid to buy Ipswich and Peterborough? The actual assets belonging to a speedway club can't be a great deal if they don't own the stadium they race at and other things like food stalls etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Around 199 guineas for Peterborough and a little more for Ipswich ( perhaps 250 ). No-one would buy a speedway club as an investment I feel sure. Buster's "empire" is all part of an Emperor's New Clothes fantasy game. Called the Three Out of Seven Blazers?

That's why I'm intrigued, whether the previous Ipswich and Peterborough bosses thought they would cut their losses and bomb out for pennys or whether they actually had a decent offer on the table. All abit of a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Peterborough Evening Telegraph Chris Harris is gutted to be left out of Panthers team and could anyone blame him, Ged Rathbone has said he cannot comment on this and Carl Johnson said he been instructed not to comment about it . Did Ged go over the allowed budget or is this Chapman flexing his muscles to get equality amongst his 3. clubs. Supporters club committee have held a behind closed doors meeting with representatives of Chapman at the weekend to let them know what is expected from them for 2019. So Chapman being club owner has silenced those promoting the team which effect means they have been gagged. All this just to keep the premier league functioning. I am beginning to wish we had stayed in the championship and not sold out to the dictator. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are simply just a customer and irrelevant to him. I fully believe, all the money funding Speedway is from sponsorship, turnstile income is extra pocket money so their happiness over the quality of the product isn't at all important. What's important to him is that his sponsors are happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I would say that the supporters club own panthers considering the work they have done the money raised and the equipment they have bought. I always wanted a return to proper Speedway but we have been well and truly Bustered. I fear for the future and foresee the end of Peterborough. It would not be entirely surprising if we did not start the season. At the moment season likely to start without me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 All this Buster knocking could have been avoided if any of the Panthers fans had of put there money where their mouth is , and bought Peterborough Speedway themselves . It was for sale long enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrss Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I didn't mean to offend anyone. What I meant was surely there must be a company owner who is a Panthers fan who could have invested in the speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
