OK Thanks

Alex said in the pre season get together that Buster was winding down.He also said something along the lines of “Don’t worry the club will be secure for a good few years to come”  It was a few months ago now, so they ain’t he’s exact words. I don’t know but expect Alex will be involved next season in some kind of promoting roll.

If you re-declare your side with Tungate in it, you can't have a facility for him until he has a meeting surely, that's how it has been for a while. I know Wolves have for Becker but at least they have a valid reason with him being injured.

If it was allowed, presumably it would be a guest up to 75% of Tungate's average, but I don't think they'd allow a transfer if the new signing was available to ride?

The tweet was picked up by a Polish website who ran a little story about the signings.

https://bestspeedwaytv.pl/artiom-laguta-i-wadim-tarasienko-beda-na-wyspach/

Accuracy doesn't seem to be a strong point in their journalism based on this paragraph……

"Vadim Tarasenko, in turn, is to join the Peterborough Panthers. Let us remind you that "Panthers" lost at the beginning of the season Nicki Pedersen, who very quickly gave up riding in the UK. The current leader of the band is Dan Bewley."……….!!!.

…… Or maybe Bewley to Panthers and the Aces signing someone else??…… ROFL.

Seriously, I did a search for Laguta news items in the last week and that was the only one I found mentioning him riding in the UK. I find that rather strange

I'd be careful though with who you sling mud at based on speculation on here..what if this guy turns out to be the saviour of the club?

Yeah exactly, unless you’ve been down and cleaned the air fence and toilets then shut up, keep your opinion to yourself! Fans ey… who’d have them?

Was much better Monday night but he rode like he’d never seen a speedway bike when guesting earlier in the year

Funny enough..him and Bomber would have been the first names on my Panthers team sheet for this season..

People should simply disregard anything Carl Johnson says and not get too hung up about it. The bloke is as thick as pig sh!t.

I think he will be shocking again for us, Dan bewley said on Monday that if pboro was 2nd in the league he wouldn’t have taken the booking. So why would MPT come and help a club that’s locked in with a potential playoff fight with Lynn ? I know it’s highly doubtful either team will make the playoffs but surely it’s a conflict of interests, doesn’t sit well with me

Which is why guests and their excessive and prolonged use are such a bad idea.

So does that mean they have one who is thick as sh*t, and one that talks sh*t ? Asking for a friend.

Really? You or he may not be aware, but we’re living in a cost of living crisis where people are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table. 20 odd quid maybe peanuts to some, but for others it’s a lot to fork out every other week. There’ll be die hard supporters out there who live for their speedway, who will make sacrifices and go without certain things to go and support their club and then you get absolute pr!cks like Johnson talking down to those people like they’re something he’s stepped in!? Thick as pig sh!t is being kind!! Look at the dross the supporters have been dished up with this year I’d say they’re more than entitled to voice their disapproval without have to clean the ‘kin bogs and put up the air fences!

Not known for my sheep like qualities or supportive nature regarding club management but I've seen it all before as it comes from both sides. He wasn't having a go at those fans and made it quite clear " We as a promotion appreciate everyone that turns up week in and week out to watch and pay with their hard earned money and again without them we wouldn’t have a club."

They all kick back when poked. Here's some for you - assume that you'd say the same to them but you get the picture?

ALL Coventry supporters are invited to a special Fans Forum in the Under-stand bar at Brandon with promoter Mick Horton THIS FRIDAY at 7.30pm. Mick said: "This is a chance for all Coventry supporters to have their say - and that includes the so-called fans who hide behind keyboards on forums. "I am aware that this may be tough after our results this season, especially on Monday, but I will answer the questions and I want to put all fans' unrest to bed once and for all." (Perhaps he's not the best example )

RICK FROST labelled some of the club’s biggest critics ‘worthless’. Attacking the fans who slaughter the club on the forum section of Panthers’ official website, he said: “The ‘keyboard warriors’ are sad people with big mouths and empty pockets. They are worthless. “We have fantastic supporters on the whole but the keyboard warriors just criticise us at every opportunity yet none of them were prepared to come to a fans’ forum and discuss things face-to-face. “We try to be honest with the fans and we’re prepared to listen to constructive criticism but I’ve no time for them.”

I simply can't understand why so many speedway supporters and especially the keyboard Internet warriors, appear to be so negative about our sport and our clubs. Bratters Panthers programme introduction April 16 2009 - And that's Bratters being nice. You wouldn't want the PM you'd get in response to your post!

"Us Peterborough fans know you (Ged Rathbone) and Trevor are doing you're upmost to keep Panthers going and we all appreciate it very much ......Ignore the saddo's Ged you are doing a great job" "Don't read the forums Ged, I got involved in a row with someone last year on it, true panthers fans will support you guys and know that you're doing all you can. The forums are full of muppets who don't know what they're talking about!" - - :  Gerard Rathbone said: "They are entitled to their opinion just wish they would come and help us I'm happy to listen to all ideas" "Everyone can have an opinion I just find it quite aggressive sometimes, if they came to the forum they could have had their say then..."

What always leads here though is lack of "clarity and communication" speedway's longstanding problem! - on that I think that we can all agree.

Agreed, Buster has a lot to answer for.

[LagutaRacingFan]

Am I missing the obvious?

Shouldn't the Panthers be in for KK? We desperately need a heat-leader.

1. Iversen - 6.97

2. Worrall - 6.27

3. Basso - 6.61

4. KK - 6.86

5. Tungate - 6.61

6. Cook - 4.06

I would pull the plug on Tarasenko.

only a complete fool would sign KK. Rides like a heat leader at Lynn everywhere else looks like a wobbler
