Someone that works in lynn. I think maybe  with Brady has said that buster has sold both clubs. I’m guessing one to Brady and the other to maybe crendon ? 
this is could all be absolute rubbish. But it ties in  with the announcement that was never and announcement because the I’s weren’t dotted and t’s not Crossed. 

Good shout tbh.

Who on earth would buy Peterborough with one season left.

No idea mate, that’s just what people are saying and it kind of makes sense with the announcement debacle. Maybe behind the scenes they’ve secured the future of the club. Got some land and planning permission or something.?

Agree.

I'd rather race at Championship level if we can't build a competitive Premiership team.

You can easily build a successful Championship team with Harris, Andersen & MPT leading the team imo.

Chris Harris has left Berwick and he did turn up at the end of season party so maybe something's in that if we're running at Championship level under new management.

 

Chris was at Berwick's end-of-season night on Friday no mention of him staying or leaving

Would think it’s more likely Tomlinson buying in / getting more heavily involved? He seems pretty active for a sponsor. If so I’d hope it means the talk of looking for a new home base is more than just talk…

Yeah good shout, didn’t think about Tomlinson. Just looked and he’s definitely expanding his businesses so maybe a new auction site/arena with a speedway track could work nice !

Maybe it's Peterborough's choice to move sone riders on and have a fresh start? Perhaps averages don't fit into the usual jigsaw puzzle? 

Doesn't have to be money, can't imagine the going rate is very different between Buster's two clubs if at all. 

I'd have thought a brand new and competitive 1-7 for Panthers might be a good thing for everyone.

Going rate maybe the same but the funds to implement changes or pre season team building  have to different,  no rent to pay and catering/stocks  income at Lynn 

Why would Basso and MPT be riders Peterborough moved on if rumours are/were true , Nicholls,  Andersen perhaps but not those two,  Harris is a nomad who moves around alot anyway.

Peterborough should have more in the bank if you take into consideration they made no team changes other than the RS slot , Lynn brought in Klindt and Jakobsen which wouldn't of been cheap for the time of year,  maybe Lynn have better and more sponsorship but it seems theres more money available to Lynn than Peterborough.

The track is the problem in the case of Harris and Basso they hate it. 

We won't be putting a sub standard team out

Flappy beat me to it but in the case of Basso he disliked the EoES but liked Lynn, can't have liked it that much though as he's chosen Glasgae as his UK club and good luck to him, excellent young rider.

Perhaps you are right, maybe the rent at P'boro takes from the budget a bit, and perhaps food and drink sales at Lynn adds to theirs.

Going by comments across the various threads on the forum I’m guessing 

Harris will be Leicester 

basso not riding prem 

palm-toft wilL go to kings Lynn 

can see Andersen coming back in a bargain average, 

Can see Nicholls joining Harris at Leicester
