Was just a dig at buster and his reasoning for not paying kk what he wanted. Kenneth will have a number of poor meetings but for buster to quantify his under payment as him not being a heat leader is not only disrespectfu, its neglegent Thankfully teams like bv are willing to pay the going rate to keep a rider like Ken in this country Edited April 1, 2019 by acef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 The expected result. Panthers need to get Cook back on board ASAP otherwise this team teams looks pants on paper without him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Buster obviously wrong to say that Bjerre isn’t a heat leader in the Premiership but I suspect he has been let down by him at Lynn too many times in the past for him to pay what Kenneth was after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 If I were a Panthers fan I'd be gutted, promised Harris & Cook, end up with Tungate & Summers. Thought you'd win tonight, but Belle Vue heatlaeders & reserves proved too strong. Maybe a blessing long term, can't carry on with that septet.

Sadly the truth is that a 'successful' Speedway team can be more of a risk to its survival than a 'run of the mill' one... Paying out too much money to riders (who bring in hardly one extra punter by their presence), versus not peeing off your fan base by getting beat most weeks, is a tricky thing to achieve.. Winnng British Speedway competitions carries almost zero kudos the way they are ran, so it really isn't worth the risk paying out daft money to try and win them and possibly threaten your very existence.. After years of teams spending fortunes out on chasing 'fools gold' it does actually look like three teams at least are working to an initial strict payroll budget... As the season goes on this budget may change if Chapman feels it is effecting attendances adversely. Or he may decide he is still getting enough 'die hards' to keep his costs the way they are and make a profit. The correct way to run any business for me...

However, keeping to such a strictly controlled budget ( which sounds sensible ) does present a huge problem IF the crowd of diehards falls away so that the budget is endangered for all three of Buster's clubs. That could easily happen and depends on the continued support of the diehards who are becoming more and more dissatisfied ( and who Buster continues to ignore ). UK speedway seems to have given up on chasing a new generation of fans ( having lost out on the missing generation pf them ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 A very ordinary looking Panthers performance with Hans looking slow and no one else other than Wright standing out. Track was fast and smooth but was gate n go with no passing. Disappointing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough need to sort out this Cook business sooner rather than later. Getting him to change his mind or getting a much better replacement than Summers with all due respect needs sorting pronto. That moves Bjerre back down to reserve and makes a big difference to both him, and this team. Need to get this signing right and quickly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds pretty good for a Monday It was certainly as good if not better than anything we had last year. Their was a good contingent from Belle Vue and I would say we had a few from other tracks as well plus a few I hadn’t seen for a few years. For a weekday night it was excellent, whether it remains as good remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
