LagutaRacingFan Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Why have the FIM not released a statement? Nicki should not be allowed to ride on Friday for his Polish club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe to help out his mate Buster who was left without a no 1. Once he had ridden for the club guests could then be used when he "gave up". On arriving at the Purplecats, he maybe realised all was not well so the crash on a poorly prepared track then gave Nicki / Buster the ideal opportunity needed to leave, all be it quicker than 1st planned. MT silence on the matter speaks volumes imo.... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering so many teams promoters were not impressed when Plymouth did it last season, I am surprised they haven't changed the ruling on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've only got to look at the football club to realise they don't give a damn. More interested in massive distribution centres and housing developments.

Haza Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 The dog track isn’t the answer even if it was a a possibility it’s to near houses - a motor sports venue needs to be out of town as the Showground once was - as things stand the future looks bleak sadly -MT seems to me the best hope that a new venue can be found don’t see Buster getting involved in that he just wants a golden handshake for the licence then he’d be gone he might even see Pboro closing its doors as a golden ticket for KL to cash in on some Pboro fans each meeting .

IainB Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 You have to wonder at the type of owner that Peterborough attracts, through the years you've had Hortons, Frost, Rathbone, Chapman, Tomlin? All been involved in various shenanigans! It's all been a bit dodgy since the Peter Oakes/James Easter promotion left imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is the SCB are controlling the rule book this year with the manager Neil Vatcher ruling on facilities for missing riders and how long they apply. I haven’t read the new regulations cover to cover but it’s available to read following a download from the SCB website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Peterborough fans adapting from the fast Showground racing to Wolverhampton trick track, going in reverse racing week in week out. It's a dead idea from the start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon1983 Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 MT has gone hasn't he? Not putting any more money into the club which is part of the buster fall-out, perhaps he will find some land and still save the panthers but under his own banner once Peterborough is officially gone or maybe this experience has shown him that Speedway isn't worth it - thats also partly his fault.
