Having listened to micks radio interview and spoken to MT the way forward is certainly to support what Mick Bratley is saying as and where we can. The development seems so disorganized and this could potentially be the only thing that plays into the panthers hand. Here’s hoping for a miracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is that the timing suits our current owner - he’s had enough and gets out with compensation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we need to support Mick, as he seems to be the only person who is willing to bring this issue into the public eye. It's an age thing. We need more thinking time as we lose brain cells: speaking personally of course and not for Bratters! Mick's the man in such times of crisis and you want to be on his side. Only orion and a few from the former fun palace of WWoS thought differently AEPG clearly thought/think that this will go through with a nod so it's great that people like Mick are now waking people up to the fact that only AEPG seem to feel that they've got an easy run through. They don't want a fuss. Just look at a quote from Monday's meeting with the locals: "At one point AEPG asked residents not to discuss matters on social media" - which shows a lack of understanding of the world we now live in, that was the response from Cllr Stevenson as mentioned in Bratters interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure about compensation, I think that’s misguided. In real terms as things stand, Buster has nothing to sell and a buyer for the club has nothing to buy, apart from a club name on a Speedway licence. I think all criticism of Buster is unfair, he’s doing his best for sure in my opinion, he IS a good guy and does want the club to survive. It’s not easy running a Speedway club and very often, actually always, it’s about mitigating losses rather than making a profit. There certainly won’t be any compensation from AEPG unless they comply with the Peterborough Local Plan and specifically policy LP40, where they should provide a new facility. But seemingly some councillors haven’t read the local plan since it was made available in 2016. It’s a tough read though. LOL (Page78 is relevant to Panthers, the document is on the Peterborough City Council website).

He needs to at least come out and say what his intentions are, by keeping silent hes just letting people form there negative opinions of him from his apparent lack of interest in saving the club he owns, Peterborough fans then know the score , he's said practically nothing since the announcement of the Panthers racing in 2023 at the end of the 2022 season what does he expect.

That is a reasonable request but timing is everything and communication skills are paramount. Is it really the time to be showing your hand (if he has one?) or just preaching to the converted with something that they want to hear without delivery? Isn't that partly why we are where we are.

Very True see what your saying but at this stage it really does seem hes not interested at all which is leading to the negativity towards him, Theres been more positive sensible and informative talk on here in the last few days from Mick and now Peterborough fans who are on here are at least seeing the scale of the fight ahead if he had said something to the tune of what Mick has said then at least Peterborough fans would know the situation and know he cares about saving the club if possible .

I think that we just need to focus on what Mick has highlighted, holding PCC & AEPG to account now with the planning application and process.. Without that it's irrelevant whether or not MT or anyone else is interested and I'm pretty sure that he hasn't got the time or inclination to take up that protracted fight. Apart from getting Flappy excited, what has MT really said & done that has got people excited and come to fruition? The club statement suggest that they are not up with things either: "We have spoken to several people regarding the potential for a new site, but the club would need significant help with that as it would essentially involve building a new stadium." - Why? If the developers want to throw the club out then according to the local plan then that's down to them, not the club. Didn't they offer us the stand? Good, take it down, buy some land and rebuild it for us. Job done then you can build a track equal to the EoES Edited April 20, 2023 by Crump99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
