For me it's time buster handed it over. The club itself is worth nothing 

The air fence and machinery etc, must be worth,  i don't know £15k??. I don't think TM would pay that. I don't think he wants it tbh. Do you, honestly?

Yes I do he's told me personally in the last 10 days he still wants to own it when the time is right.

The showground future for me is the stumbling block.

I can understand that. Maybe i should of said i don't think he wants it at the moment. His mistake was saying he wanted it in Dec. Not going to argue mind ;)

Your new boy looked pretty good BTW.

If Buster stands firm and walks away from the sport and an extension can't be agreed for the use of the Showground then how about this?

Tomalin buys King's Lynn and then merges them with Peterborough to form one team next season, Call the side Norfolk (Insert nickname) with all meetings to be held at the AFA.

Tomalin owner, Rob Lyon manager, Dale and Carl can work at the club as well as Alex Brady if he fancies returning.

Saves two clubs potentially going under then.

Don't think Peterborough fans would be best pleased being referred to as Norfolk. Might have to go along the route of Fen Flyers

Think it's a good solution in order to save both clubs in all honesty.

Buster wants out and I think he's going to stand firm this time especially considering how much money he's going to lose this season.

Buster can't flog Peterborough to Tomalin because of the stadium issues, Brady who was the lined-up buyer at KL has bailed out already with no other rumoured buyers in the pipe line so why not explore the situation.

Personally, I don't think we've seen the end of Alex at Lynn. His reasons for leaving were purely personal, and I think, given the opportunity and him sorting out things away from the club he will be back in some capacity

He's too unreliable now imo.

For anyone to buy a club in this day and age you have to be 1000% committed, Have very deep pockets, Be able to take fan criticism whilst being prepared to work to the bone for nothing with the threat of financial losses looming 24/7.

I'm not necessarily saying he will purchase the club, but I don't think it will be the end of his sponsorship package:blink:

This would work

 

Joint team

Tomalin owner

Brady sponsor

Lyon manager

Dale and Johnson as co promoters.

I think I’d have to give my head a big wobble before I give a thought out reply lol. One thing is that the stadium is safe.

If you had the choice of liquidation or a Tomalin owned rebranded club forming of KL & Peterborough then which option are you taking?

Not a lot of people are willing to buy clubs over here hence why Bates and Buster own two each.

Put it this way..If it happened, I’d support them. There some  on hear that have said they wouldn’t come to the “bird cage” if the Panthers raced at Lynn next season. I wonder how many would travel from your way to watch it though.

Don't see why they can't look to bring in another rider on a similar money outlay to Hans unless he's riding for free what about Ben Barker he's available now

Most important thing is to sign a rider on a 5.01 or above average so Tarasenko drops to reserve, that wouldn't be Barker.
