stevebrum Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 No surprise that Tungate is announced at Peterborough, think most on here expected it. Weakens the Panthers imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might think that on that basis he was doing or controlling all of the negotiations. Like others, I think Tungate makes a good Peterborough side even stronger. It's a shame we had to lose both him and Cook to get under the points limit. I hope both have good seasons, I think they will. Whether Tungate makes them stronger or not, he'll be bloody good value. He's going to be missed at the NSS this season because I can't see his replacements putting in some of the amazing rides he did. The only thing is I think he won't fancy riding at no 1 at all. He's improved for sure, but he hit the rails riding there for Somerset. Edited January 31, 2019 by Halifaxtiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Whether Tungate improves the Panthers is debateable but they look a pretty decent team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's improved for sure, but he hit the rails riding there for Somerset. I agree about the entertainment. Unfortunately, there's not many riders who could replace him and match the excitement he often created. I also think you have a point about starting at no. 1 although with Cook and Andersen in the team I don't think he will have the same pressure that he had at Somerset. The fans may also have to realise that, like Harris, he can have a slow start to the season but if he does, give him a bit of time and he will more than repay you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spl77 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Would love to know what happen between Ipswich and Tungate. When he signed for us Louis was singing his praises and if memory serves me right had to beat of competition to land him. Obviously at that time Ipswich and Tungate were a good match.

Bjerre must of known what Chapmans like from his Lynn days but chose to negotiate with him as it was Peterborough, must of hurt not getting his wish to return to his real home.

That doesn't answer anything . As far as i'm aware he didn't have any problems at Belle Vue in 2018 .So whatever the problem was at Ipswich really doesn't matter now , he has a fresh start and I hope he gets his head down and makes the best of it.

I was replying to a post from Spl77 who was wondering what caused all the bad feeling between Tungate and Ipswich. He obviously has behaved himself at the other clubs he has ridden for, however i repeat at Ipswich he behaved like a right tw&t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Tungate looks a steal,,, and will no doubt show his warm side to the panthers faithful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 2 hours ago, Aces51 said: He has. He left Belle Vue under a cloud to sign for Peterborough spent many years at the showground even rode for them to help Rathbone out due to injuries in the lower division and as its been said was negotiating to return to Peterborough it was only Buster Chapman that stopped him returning to the Panthers again this season so you have him to thank for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aces51 Posted February 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) What he said in thr Speedway Star referring to signing for Belle Vue was, "It's not a second option for me.Belle vue and Peterborough are both first options I could have picked from and I am happy to be with the Aces. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that riders say whatever is expedient at the time. I suspect that if another club had come in with a better offer he wouldn't be riding for either of our clubs. Just as most of us would work for whoever offered us the best deal. Edited February 1, 2019 by Aces51 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoters have to be so careful they get the right blend of fans allowed to attend matches. An individual interview should be conducted before access to the stadium is allowed, they can't risk the happy clappers being put off from coming back because of too many miserable sods having been let in.

Tungate needs to show "his warm side" in future or any chance of further seasons in the UK may be very restricted. Never bite the hands that feed you seems appropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
