It was harsh of you meant their fans who are also suffering may I add.  

Buster and Allit by all means raise your concerns but not King's Lynn fans.

When did we become friends with K.Lynn?...imagine if Cambridge owners and management started helping Posh out..it wouldn't happen...only in this tinpot British speedway league could this happen..I do care though and that's why I'm annoyed how this is panning out..I wasn't even on about Lynn fans..I meant all the cronies from the birdcage that have run our club into the ground.

I think the critisism of Basso is unfair. In a weak team more of him is expected  than he can deliver, and as a young upcoming (and very talented) rider he can't be expected to score big in every match.

But a lot of those are the problem sadly. Just happy to see their speedway and that gets taken advantage of. 

Agree, Saw some Panthers fans actually make the journey to the NSS tonight and put up a Panthers flag on the BSN stream.

I was like.....Why on earth would anyone make that journey just to see a mauling.

Buster and Dale Allit I agree with whilst I wish no harm on anyone and would wish them well, it's time to go

If anyone wants the truth I'd recommend speaking with either Rob Lyon or Michael Tomalin.  Both are very deflated characters and whilst I haven't spoken to him I'd imagine Carl Johnson is the same.  

Those 3 want to not only save Peterborough Speedway but see it thrive.  Yes there's business deals to be done and much negotiation I'm sure, however 2024 isn't just a pipe dream it can be the reality but these people need us fans now. 

On the track only the above is going to give us a positive future and I'd love to thank Buster and Allit for saving the club and the league title but their time is up at Peterborough and it's time they handed it over.

I understand the principle of supporting the club especially right now but surely it’s got to the point where the mick is being taken out of us and they still think people will hand over their hard earned money to watch a sub standard product?

That's personal choice and I can see where you're coming from but we can save this club alongside the people that want to do so.  We can't afford for chapman to close us now as it'd never reopen.  

This takeover has to happen for panthers to survive and that's where we can come in as well as getting on at aepg

The mauling is going to be even worse on Thursday and that's where I think that Rob Lyon will resign tbh.

I really can't see him wasting anymore of his time and energy if the team issues aren't going to be resolved by the end of this week.

But surely he has to sell up now to MT whilst it’s worth a very small something rather than for nothing at the end of the season when we are homeless? Because it won’t be Buster trying to sort a new venue that’s for sure

Trouble is MT was quoted 500k for a site. If he won’t pay it, then is it worth him buying the club. Thats the problem for me.

This is where the fans come in. AEPG can help with this if the process is carried out properly panthers need a home whether that be the showground or elsewhere according to the documents.  

I can forsee a situation where panthers stay at the showground for another 2-3 but it'll be a new agreement and rental price etc.  

Fans need to be pushing this with AEPG.

Basso just cant handle pressure as a heat leader with expectation on his shoulders 

He was going so wide in the bends i thought he was off to Venice sight seeing with Worrall

If he wants to become a world class rider, which I'm sure he does, he can't stay a second string forever. However it's early days, can can still reach his average this season.

Rob Lyon is fuming.

Said he told them Basso shouldn't be a heat leader and we're simply not good enough. 

Pleased he's spoken out 

3rd heat leaders at the start of the season:

Chris Harris 7.40 (7.59)

Luke Becker 7.11

Adam Ellis 6.75 (6.89)

Palm Toft or Kasprzak 6.86

Ben Basso 6.81

Danny King 6.41 (6.57)

Charles Wright 6.26 (6.42)

Basso was on a par with most of the third heat leaders this season, can't use his team positioning as an excuse!
