Nicki won’t be racing for pboro on Monday or anytime again this season. He has left the club so there will be no ban or anything. on that note I highly doubt we will hear anything from the club until they have some sort of plan about a replacement and lucky for us the weather looks awful on Monday so I shouldn’t think there will be any speedway anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Amazing that the special relationship between buster and Nicki that they were waxing lyrical about when signed could break down so quickly….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring to his age and saying 'he was rubbish for us twelve years ago' is silly when he continually bangs in big scores in the best league in the world. Disagree. We all can see he still does well in Poland, it’s the age old problem of what he’d put in here isn’t it. Would you be confident that he’d be giving it 100% in every race and every meeting here like Jason Doyle does for example? I certainly wouldn’t. He may only have done half a lap here but even in that he was left for dead by Doyle and Erik Riss! That’s not exclusive to Pedersen either btw, I’d have the same concerns if Lambert, Dudek etc etc agreed to come over. It keeps getting said over and over, but that’s why Jason Doyle is worth his weight in Platinum over here. He’s pretty much a one off unfortunately when it comes to GP riders.

TTT Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Season over???? Tai is more interested in bashing British Speedway rather than competing in it, Lambert has already made it known that he wants to focus on Poland and the GP's. Buster has to leave the club if this isn't our last season in the Sport, If he would've signed Holder then none of this would be happening right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost us the meeting for sure and it's probably ended our season too if we can't get a replacement in ASAP, Relying on engine room riders guesting at No.1 isn't going to wash.

With regards your second point, this is what pi$$es me off so much with British speedway promotions. Everybody is well aware Nicki has left yet you hear nothing from the club who treat their supporters like muppets. Almost straight away they should have come out and said “Nicki has left and we are working on our options” instead of the silent treatment which makes the whole situation worse. It will be embarrassing tomorrow and have such a worse effect when he isn’t there, especially after banging in 18 points last night in Poland. I try not to compare football to speedway but there is no way this sort of situation goes on. You only have to look at the recent scenarios with Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester with their managers. All 3 confirmed a departure right away and said they would be working on replacements and will update in due course. Communication with your fan base is so important nowadays. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, Shouldn't be down to ITK fans to let other fans know about situations that are happening behind the scenes. Club communication with it's fan base doesn't come at a cost.

Totally agree- lack of communication or no communication is a total joke from the club - they bang on about selling season tickets but obviously they don’t do bad news - how Panthers save there season is the leading question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappy Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Both Chris Holder and Troy Bachelor are on ACU licences but due to grudges from the owner won't be signed to the detriment of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Doyle is a one off but I think Pedersen would have been a top rider here and finished in the top three or four of the averages. Very disappointing that he jacked it in so soon (without knowing all the facts). Edited April 9, 2023 by Bagpuss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
