As a Ipswich fan I’m very concerned about our new owner. How do you panthers fans feel about it.  You all seem quite positive. 

We were in a different position as there was a chance of the club not running with Rathbone wanting out so I guess most are just happy that we’re running. I feel uneasy about it all and would like a decent statement from Rathbone as a lot of questions unanswered regarding the whole situation. Comments at the end of last season suggested travelling and the future direction of the sport were his reasons for wanting out. New owner doesn’t change that so would be nice to know why it’s changed and how he’s going to work with chapman which from the outside always looked like a bad relationship between the two, particularly after the whole Jack Hilder mess.

It is what it is. I think Buster has saved the Prem as well as keeping one club going, and maybe 2( Don't know what was going on at Ippo) . I'm pretty sure he has done it in the interest of the sport. I suspect there is a buy back clause in there somewhere. No doubt Buster will have a wage limit, but he said Chris will carry on so I don't think theres a worry of fixing meetings, if that's your worry. Buster wouldn't want that and Chris would never agree, and i'm sure he can't wait to get one over the Stars.

Looking forward to it.

Until there is any action that suggests otherwise I'm happy to take the positives from the situation

We have all 3 teams in the same league and at the current highest level - 2019 could be a great year and one to remember for all the right reasons

I am not happy with Chapman taking over but better that than club folding. Some things do not sit right with  me with Rathbone continuing although he had said one of the factors in him selling up was due to time and travel, also in the not too distant past Chapman said that he was getting fed up with or wanted out of Speedway

That has the potential to be a very very good team. Top 5 is dirty to say the least. 

I'd be less concerned by their cleanliness than their inability to turn up every week.

Good looking team but think there will be one maybe two who rode for the Panthers this season that will be included for some form of continuation, MPT perhaps but hes back to being a Scunny rider now it seems,  perhaps MJJ instead of KK if he has overcome his hayfever issues!!!! , take it Bjerre is the KB version

What relevance is MTP being a Scunny rider?? He'll be at Peterborough or King's Lynn no doubt. All down to where he wants to be

I think both Peterborough and Ipswich will be on a tight budget. No signings until after xmas earliest. 

Busterwill probably give both Louis and Ged a budget after he knows what sort of sponsorship there is likely to be. The riders in demand will be taken and you guys will get the riders who are still available. It would be nice if you do have a few exciting names. But I think you will probably have an untried assessed rider to add to your asset base. Lead by 1 strong proven heat leader.
