Championship Fours 06/08 Peterborough

[Panthers89 1,922]

If anything we have everyone an advantage and still won. One of the biggest surprises in recent times.

 

Ipswich chocked as normal

[SCB 0]

gatlin is a drugs cheat. Can't quite see how you can make the comparison. I don't agree with what they did but in the end they won with a much weaker team. No cheating...

Peterborough are cheats. The rules say you have to use your top 4 by average, who did Peterborough use? Hmmm.

[Norfolk Bear 250]

Delighted for Redcar, after what we have been through for the last few years we seem to be getting there. Plus the least number of team changes in the league ..

A 3.00 reserve instead of our number 1, then BWD, other teams should of beaten us, but they didn't. We turned up when it mattered, others bottled it, deal with it sadly.

Thats one thing that was guaranteed, ipswich would choke.

Ridiculous change between the semi final and the final, just didn't look interested at all

[scaramanga 895]

panthers havnt cheated as such theyve actually made themselves weaker

but they have decided not to follow the rules as such by letting a rider miss a offical fixture

the part in the bspa statement about him being allowed by club so stops the 28 day ban is absolute rubbish others have been allowed by there clubs for whatever personl reasons like illness and family troubles but still recieved a ban

The medal ceremony for gatlin is at 6.50 pm today so the response of the fans will be interesting.

Apart from that does this result go to show that the fours and any Championship meeting like this be run on a Premier League track where none of the riders double up if one can be found. Also any Premier championship meeting run on a Championship track.

Exactly, the team wasn't legal, and did not comply with the rulebook.

 

Congratulations to Redcar on being the highest-placed legal team.

 

All the best

Hmmm, home team are fours champions even without one of their best riders, just goes to show why this event needs to be circulated amongst other tracks. On the day clearly the best performance came from Peterborough, I wonder why?

 

I think we all agree that there's no such thing as a neutral venue these days but moving the pairs, 4's and individual around would at least bring a bit of variety and interest.

they need to be at a stadium that can cope with the number of people going and a track that can produce top quality racing. You may as well say don't hold a Grand Prix at a track where one of the riders rides for their club side there....Peterborough is one of the fairest tracks around that most riders enjoy riding with little home advantage, hence the poor home form over the years.

Oh dear...... someone get the tissues. We didn't break the rules for this meeting, we will break the rules for the next month, which is out of order. But for this one, we had bloody Lambert a 3.18 replacing a 9.00 heatleader.....

Each Team must include their Top 4 by MA, with a Reserve being optional. If a reserve is named, then he must be the lowest by MA from the 5 selected riders. Actual Team line ups for the Semi Final must be declared 5 days prior to the event.

For the Final, line ups can be changed, but must be declared within Fifteen (15) minutes of completion of the Semi Final. Each Team must produce professional riders race numbers as per the draw for both the Semi and Final.
