If Laguta does end up at KL I’d definitely not be happy if I was a Panthers fan as they been told no one is available then Laguta ends up at the club owners other track - really doesn’t sit well if it was the other way round Lynn fans would be into meltdown. 

That's where I'm out when we are crying out for No1 all season and told no riders available..

Can you really blame him considering who is in charge ;)

Clear as day that Buster isn't the problem now though and I was one of his biggest critics tbh.

Tomalin put on facebook that a No.1 wasn't available due to Poland as well as not being interested in the UK.........That was a straight up lie.

We could've had Laguta or at worst Zagar signed, sealed and delivered if he stuck to his promises, Basically this whole Nicki P situation could've been resolved weeks ago if Tomalin walked the walked instead of just talking the talk, Instead we plodded on with R/R and riders like Jakobsen guesting at No.1.

Basically everything what Bald Bloke and numerous other KL fans have said for weeks in regards to Tomalin has been 100% factual.

Imo as i said a few weeks back that Buster has been taking a seat further towards the back.This has been showing for a while.It also enhances my opinion that he wanted the deal with Tomalin done at the start of the season,but Tomalin did indeed fall short by about 90% of what he said he was prepared.

Interesting, Explains why Laguta is heading to KL now, Knew Buster wouldn't be paying for him as well as covering the wage bill at Panthers because it goes against everything he stands for when running his business.

Also tells me Laguta has been available for a while and that Tomalin just didn't want to put up the cash weeks ago for him but Alex Brady is prepared to spend big on the former World Champion.

Fair play to Buster for communicating with the fans.

Finally... hallelujah...we have actually been told something via the correct channels!

You have Alex, who hasn't said a peep, and just goes about his job. And you have Big Spuds.. that rumours are he hasn't even paid his original sponsor money. Maybe a statement from him is needed :blink: I think finally the penny has dropped for most Panthers fans.. But what do i know ;)

About time, but better late than never:t:

I agree, If only Buster would've clarified everything sooner then I wouldn't have pointed the finger at him so much.

Problem is we don't get communication at Peterborough from the management unless it's from Tomalin on facebook, So it's an easy trap to get suckered into when he's telling us everything that we want to hear.

Difference between riders being available and riders being available who the club can afford.

We was going to be on a budget on par with BV though, Got to ask ourselves where the Nicki P money has gone?

The money from Nicki P hasn't gone anywhere, the money just has not come in

MT thought he was running the show, Buster put him in his place over Holder-gate

Buster dealt with Nicki P on the pre-season budget

now that MT has withheld or not paid his latest instalment there is no Nicki P budget

It really has turned sour, MT & Johnson hoping to pick the club up from the ashes at the end of the season, which may work out well especially if they can find some land or a stay of execution at the showground

Buster wants out, happy just owning Kings Lynn as a stadium

KEITH Chapman has moved to clarify his position as owner of both King’s Lynn and Peterborough Speedway amidst rumours of rider movement at various Sports Insure Premiership clubs.



Chapman retains his promoter’s licence at King’s Lynn but has confirmed the day-to-day running of the club, and financial affairs, are in the hands of others.

 

He is also the owner of Peterborough where work continues to fill the position vacated by Nicki Pedersen who left the club after one meeting.

 

Chapman said: “I’ve been reading plenty of comments over recent days and I think it’s important to lay out clearly what the situation is.

 

“I no longer have any financial involvement in King’s Lynn Speedway, and whilst I still hold a promoter’s licence there, this will be my last season in that role and I’ve made that clear to everyone.

 

“All of the financial and team matters at King’s Lynn are taken on by Alex Brady and Dale Allitt, although obviously I still have responsibility for the stadium.

 

“I do still own the club, it hasn’t been sold yet, but the funding is not coming from me this year.

 

“At Peterborough everyone knows the problems we have faced, and it was me who did the deal with Nicki Pedersen to race at No.1, which unfortunately went wrong after one race.

 

“Since then we’ve been looking for a replacement, and trying to book the best guests we can under the circumstances.

 

“It hasn’t always worked but we had Max Fricke lined up for a meeting that was rained off, and I paid for Dan Bewley to guest on Monday in a meeting against King’s Lynn, so there’s no question of me making decisions to favour one club over the other.

 

“The team and financial decisions at King’s Lynn are completely separate from me now, and of course I still desperately want Peterborough to survive beyond this season.

 

“I just want to make it totally clear that the two clubs are not being run by the same person with one being prioritised over the other.”

Wonder if the money not coming in for Pedersen wages was the real reason he left the club as he did and was it MT way of pay back for not being allowed to sign Chris Holder ?

Really can’t see this ending well for Pboro speedway from what I can see a potential new owner and current owner are at logger heads and  MT sponsorship money not been paid it’s as if he wants to bankrupt the club rather than bankroll it and pick it up on the cheap from Buster when they can’t pay the riders . 
It’s a sad state of affairs that the future of the club is on the line and being decided by two stubborn men who won’t give in .

So chapman makes one post this season and all of a sudden he's the good guy,  I can tell you 100% that's wrong.  He's made no comments about panthers other than he had signed his best buddy pedersen.

He's pulling the wool over peoples eyes and loving it.
