PANTHERS FOR SALE

Tuesday October 09, 2018
PETERBOROUGH owner Ged Rathbone has announced the club is up for sale.

Rathbone intends to end his time in charge of the Panthers at the end of the present campaign, and has also announced team manager Carl Johnson will be standing down at the same time.

Said Rathbone: ““It’s something we’ve been considering for some time, and I think realistically we’ve known for a while now that this will be our last season in charge.

“We’ve had four fantastic years and it’s absolutely nothing do with the recent team performances. It’s been an incredible season and it’s so frustrating now to have got so close to making history.

“The BSPA have been informed that the club is for sale and if a buyer comes in, the ideal scenario would be for a deal to be completed before the AGM in mid-November.

“As it stands, though, I do have to say there’s a possibility that Saturday’s meeting could be the last speedway event at Peterborough.

“I don’t want that to happen and I’ll do all I can to secure the club’s future, but it does depend on someone coming forward, and I’d invite any credible bidders to please contact me.”
