Well he has turned down a full asking price offer so he is either stupid or has a better offer maybe from the developer ? 

From who? He says, publicly, that he hasn't. Your move.

Where is Ged saying this in public? No good with the "he said this" if he isn't prepared to come out and say anything at all, it's just a rumour. As Chapman said, no offers in writing. If Ged disputes this then let's hear him.

I know who I believe.  Generally there are 3 sides to every story with the truth in the middle. No doubt we will know once the season is over

Buster is not famous for his honesty. Pit gate and missing rider postponements. Tv meeting’s getting called off the day before and of course his antics at Edinburgh several years ago. 

Didn't say that I believed it. Just that it has as much credibility as a post on a forum. Both are lacking detail and counter argument so treat both with a pinch of salt.

What about the consortium that Mick Bratley said on the radio had approached him about taking the club over? Or Ged looking to get the club back, with Neil Watson involved? I’ve no insider info but there seems to be enough talk around to suggest there is truth in the stories that others are keen to take the club on…..

Indeed. And that was the clever part of the article when he said: " If anyone did want to make me an offer, I wish they would have put it in writing, because I would have accepted it if it was anything sensible." - if those negotiations were only verbal and an offer price couldn't be agreed then there were no offers, despite others disputing that?

WHY INDEED?   Can only assume from that he doesn’t want us to continue either at the EoES or elsewhere!  
 

 

Makes me laugh how he comes to the meetings with a big smile on his face shaking everybody's hand like he is mister popular.

After CJ bailed out, your team has been improved dramatically. CJ was the promoter running things from the start with his buddy MT, who supposed to be co promoter, but he didn't end up doing that.. Most felt that Buster would just do nothing and run the clock down, but he hasn't.. He's  brought riders in and he is paying them now, and doing the deals.. I can't say any more than that.

The I know the real truth story is getting a bit tiresome though. Either post the facts, as you understand them or give it a rest, said in the nicest possible way. CJ has been a yo-yo for years and you seem to think that him making decisions is a plus. I'm not sure how many Panthers fans feel the same?

Until Buster actually says what went wrong with the Tomlin deal, why he has been so negative on our future during 2023 (although I understand if it's not to upset AEPG as Bratters says), or why here at the end of 2022, at 1.01 he say that Panthers could have another few seasons at the EoES ? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1285189478916248 then the jury is out and will remain so.

Yes he's providing a good ending, and credit for that, but the emphasis very much on ending with others fighting for the club and energising the fans to get active. Surely even a die-hard Buster fan such as yourself can see that there are some questions to answer?

I don't pretend to know everything. I only know what i have been told by someone very credible and close, on some things, not everything by a long way.. Guess i'll have to shut up in the nicest possible way then.. :)

True, and would love to hear it as well.. My guess, and this is a guess,  is that Holdergate had something to do with it falling apart early on. Regarding the vid. Maybe Buster thought/hoped there was a chance at the time he said it that something might be able be worked out. I really don't know.. With all these objections going in, it wouldn't surprise me if  something might happen, but i suspect the offer, if made, might be ridiculous, and  rent related. Making it not viable anyway. But they can say they tried but the sport is not viable.

Thank you :). A little bit of credit, is better than  what he has had from most on here all season. That's why i have been supportive of him. Some of  the stuff is undeserved  imho..  It's not been easy for him this season, with both promoters leaving for different reasons. He was as good as retired, then had all this put on him.  I don't know what if any part he has in trying to save the Panthers if any.. If i was in his shoes i would of shut the doors when CJ jacked after the poo he was getting.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think tomorrow maybe our last match.

The Kings Lynn match is meaningless and won't affect the final league positions. It  will also save Buster a shed load of money if it isn't run.

What are the speedway authorities going to do if its not ridden ? No good fining Peterborough as they will be defunct after tomorrow !
