crazysue 613 Posted March 24, 2018 Is there anyone going to this meeting who would be able to text updates to the Updates site? If so, could you please send me a private message which includes your mobile number. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,241 Posted March 25, 2018 The morning of the first meeting for Peterborough after 5 long Winter months and only 7 replies since BCD started this thread? I know a few are not entirely happy with your team but I’d still expect more enthusiasm than this! The Showground is an superb place to watch your Speedway strong team or not. Difficult one to call this. Peterborough obviously have riders that know the Showground inside out but Lakeside look the stronger side and their riders have already had a meeting so levels things out. Very tight I reckon and I’ll go for the draw.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mjolnir 184 Posted March 25, 2018 I’m still finding it difficult to call what I think the result will be at this early stage of the season. The Hammers certainly looked ready to go on Friday and hopefully that meeting will give us an edge. I could be wrong but I think Zach will be starting the season at reserve, which is useful as I think Morley and Bowtell would probably struggle as a reserve pairing at the Showground against your 6&7. I’m hoping that Lawson, Ellis and Newman can be the difference for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m hoping that Lawson, Ellis and Newman can be the difference for us. Lawson, Morris and Ellis are all generally quite good around Alwalton, Newman is a bit up and down, it’s going to be decided by how good the Peterborough top 3 go against the Lakeside top 3, Nicholls should be very consistent at this level but we need good back up performances from Ostergaard and MPT. Either way it looks like being close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stiltonpanther 338 Posted March 25, 2018 Tricky one to call this. Not much practice may give the Hammers the slight edge so will go for Panthers 43 Hammers 47. Most of all I hope there is some good racing and no injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
