Neither have come out of this looking great for sure, however anybody who thinks Peterborough Panthers were worth anything without a rental agreement for more than one season are quite frankly mental. As for the second comment about replacing Jakobsen awaits Tungate for MPT now he's injured. I bet riders become available for King's Lynn all of a sudden 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if delivers a 10th of what he promised MT hasn't been given the chance to prove himself but at least he's stuck around. Alex was given the chance, fooked it up and done a runner.

We are all aware that KL is Buster's baby, his one true love. You don't think that he would choose to invest more in the club that he cares about more? I can see why he don't want to spend his own "hard earned cash" on a Peterborough team where there is an all talk sponsor who hasn't really if we're being honest brought anything to the table after all the hype. It could be said that Buster has invested more into Peterborough this season already than he will at KL "it was me who did the deal with Nicki Pedersen to race at No.1, which unfortunately went wrong after one race". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex has unfortunately got a lot bigger concerns outside of speedway.To which is no ones concerns really.The problem with the invention of social media really is that everyone wants to know everyone's business. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never known Buster to put together a competitive team at KL in the top flight tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always a bargain basement team I have to agree BUT it’s better than the club breaking the bank win the play off final and at the end of the year can’t pay the riders and go bankrupt. Others have come and gone at Lynn but one thing you can’t take way from Buster we’ve had a stable club over the years and some credit must be given for that . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All his business.. It don't need anyone to twit tail at all. I have only heard from 1 other Lynn fan that only tiny bit of the sponsor money was paid.. And that was after i doubted all his promises.. He might of picked his dummy up and paid it all by now, i don't know, but the situation doesn't look like there is a big wedge of money available. Some would agree, you might not. And the who would buy a club that could close angle. Well MT said he was, and talked of buying land and building a new track... So he knew the situation the club was in, otherwise he wouldn't of said he was going to build a new track. I don't see a chunk of money sitting waiting for a rider to grab either. MT has been very quiet since he promised the world, which don't look good on him. No one told me anything. They were my opinions, and that's all. But since i have been told that I'm pretty much bang on. I don't think for 1 minute that Buster is 100% blameless, but i don't think it's fair he is getting the blame from a lot of people.. Hopefully both teams will run next season. Edited June 17, 2023 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it there. We could go on forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only 2 tracks out of them that directly shut as a result of low crowds were Newcastle and Eastbourne. With no planning application yet to be put in for the East of England Showground is there any chance of speedway taking place there next season and maybe even somebody buying the stadium so it remains in situ? - Cause with the leisure facilities planned for the EoES site surely keeping the stadium would only benefit such plans?
