It cant be the team, Tomalin wouldn't sign Andersen and then rave about a way under the limit team before a wheel has been turned imo, He wouldn't make a fool out of himself because he's a smart and successful businessman.

Is this Tungate situation a he said, she said situation because no reason has been given for the deal potentially being off

The last I heard was that The club and Tungate have been ringing around trying to find a spanner for him over the last couple of months and he'd be on a good money contract (More than he's worth) also left the like on the fixture list post.

 

This is the only team that holds any logic and if I'm wrong then so be it.

NKI

Holder

Basso

Tungate

Worrall

B. Cook

Jenkins

Andersen (Team Manager)

When you've got over 7.00 points left you simply don't ring up Hans on a 4.93 and offer him the job unless you've been turned down by 20 odd riders.

Plenty of EU riders on 6 somethings or low 7's and everyone has a price in this world, By the law of averages one of them would agree to ride imo.

Because they have been turned down by kids of European riders, they just don’t want to spend the money to set up over here, and the fact the pay is so poor,

Then it brings us full circle back to Tungate (Still think he's in)

Combining what Gasser90 and Flappy have been saying fairly consistently, it seems that six of our riders might be as follows….

Niels-Kristian Iversen 7.59
Chris Holder 7.16
Benjamin Basso 6.81
Ben Cook 4.06
Hans Andersen 4.93
Jordan Jenkins RS

.... and that leaves 8.45 for the final rider.

Assuming that is correct for the moment I very much doubt whether either Worrall or Tungate is the missing rider as that would leave us to far under the limit to make any sense. Much more likely to be either Rasmus Jensen or someone who hasn't raced over here so far, coming in on an 8.00 assessed average.

Think you have answered you own questions with the knowledge you have and the comments you have made but still got the wrong answer!

Still time for everything to turn out as you think it will mind you..

Holder hasn’t left, he’s riding for pboro 100% 

So You can 100% say you know Chris is a Panther this season yes....You have had that confirmed by his camp this morning,is that correct???

If yes,great work,and I stand corrected on my information,and I apologise for my stance on Holder 

But if you can confirm you have spoken to his camp this morning,then fair play.

Michael Tomalin is also putting extra capital into the club to get the riders on the best equipment possible to challenge for the title (His words)

If you follow Michael on Twitter you'll clearly see that he's a successful business man who can walk the walk so to speak therefore he's not one of these who's all talk and no show.

I would like to think both Peterbrough and Ipswich have riders sorted, and it's good for British Speedway if Peterborough is sorted at the helm of the club, as we need these tracks to keep running.

Tomalin sounds a good move by your club, and let's hope some announcements are made sooner rather than later on the make up of our 2 sides, I must admit I also love coming to Peterborough to watch Speedway, it's just the suspense that's doing us all in now.

NKI is the other one 

”we have a smashing line-up to be announced in the coming weeks, which includes some young sensational racers”

That was said by the new fella only a few days ago so with all due respect to those four, could that description be labelled at any of them these days? I could see maybe three of them because I’ve heard similar, but possibly not all four. We’ll see.

It’s a little bit more than red tape though isn’t it, will take a minor miracle to allow him to ride here in my opinion.

So if it isn’t just red tape what else do you think it is, Wolfie? 

I suppose it it depends on your definition of red tape.

The Collins English dictionary defines red tape as "official rules and procedures as red tape that seem unnecessary and cause delay."

Are you saying that the FIM ban on Sayfutdinov is unnecessary?

I would suggest that the bans howing support for the Ukraine (and also our governments viewpoint on Russian sportsmen) could be considered rather more than just red tape.
