Tomalin seems to be a shrewd successful business man so you can bet hes not paid that much for the club ( if he has), and with his extra drive to keep the Panthers on track he could end up with a club thats worth far more than what he paid for it and more so from a fans view hes the better person as a Peterborough fan to keep pushing and not let it just die Edited January 29, 2023 by scoobydoo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Tomalin wouldn't buy into a business that doesn't have a future imo. Tomalin is wise enough to have a contract signed that guarantees Peterborough's future from 2024 onwards before sealing any deal to buy the club off Buster.

SteveLyric2 Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 How much would Buster expect to swell his coffers if he's sold? The stadium isn't his!! Rider assets?? Track equipment??? Goodwill......?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morally and arguably not owned by Buster. Also arguably it is due to supporters club that Panthers still running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish McRaker Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 Would the matter of having the necessary permissions for the land earmarked for the new stadium (which presumably would be dual use for Mr Tomalin's business), and it's purchase, need to be completed before Peterborough speedway's ownership is bought by Mr Tomalin? Until then, maybe becoming a co-promoter is as far as he can go, and I'm not sure if his application has been approved yet? Perhaps this is what is delaying C. Holder from signing a contract, because change of club ownership may be some way away from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possible Buster has pulled off an astonishing coup selling a homeless Speedway club. Tomlin could quite well be doubly stupid Just because someone owns their own business doesn't make them financially clever. That is true. But in this case i suspect MT has a good legal and finance team around him, that has helped him get to where he is today.

We've been heavily linked with the following 5 riders Nicki P, C. Holder, Tungate, R. Worrall & Andersen. So the final three are bound to be out of those five, One of them is a no go apparently, Maybe even two of them. Anybody...when is the next announcement due ????

Neither Rowe or Hume are strong enough to ride at the number 2 slot, Thomas and Rew are the reserves as it stands and i can't see the point of pushing Rew out of the reserve slot and then give him a tougher job at number 2.

Pretty sure Hume is at Ipswich, he got offered a deal at lynn but turned it down as Louis promised him a ride at Ipswich, but…. We all know speedway.

Think the idea is to sign Hume as the reserve, and hope Rew holds his own in the main body. Hume will start in the main body (if signed) because of the starting averages, but they’ll be effectively signing him as the reserve with Thomas. Seems from the Hume interview in last weeks Speedway Star, he’s expecting an Ipswich place. Rowe could well be the number 8, at either Ipswich or Peterborough.

TTT Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I don't think it's for us that's for sure. I think we're going 2.30 under the limit if Tomalin buys the club because Michael clearly wants Holder in the side, @Gasser90 has stuck with the same 1-7 all winter and it just looks a formality at this point imo. Is Anders Rowe on the RS list? If yes then someone has probably dropped out at another Prem club and they've signed Anders as the replacement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
