An 8pm start on a weekday puts me out of the picture as far as going is concerned as well.

PETERBOROUGH bosses have stressed they will run next Tuesday’s Championship Shield clash with Ipswich in a timely fashion.
The re-arranged meeting on April 24 gets underway at 8pm in a bid to make it easier for travelling supporters, or locals who work into the early evening, to attend.
Promoter Ged Rathbone says the club have taken the only realistic date possible to stage the meeting, which could be a crucial encounter for semi-final qualification.
He said: “Obviously under normal circumstances running a Tuesday night meeting against Ipswich, who give us some of our biggest crowds of the season, is not ideal.
“However, it’s a decision we’ve had to take for the good of the sport, with the need to progress the competition and with us not having any other spare home dates until much later in the season.
“We went for 8pm so that it hopefully isn’t a major rush after work for our own supporters, and also to assist Ipswich fans to get here.
“What I can assure people is that barring any unforeseen problems, we will be running a quick meeting, exactly as we have done in our first two home matches so far. None of us want it finishing too late.
“It’s going to be an important meeting either way, and clearly the ideal scenario is that we go into it needing a win to book our place in the semi-finals.
“But even if that isn’t the case, if Lakeside get a result at Ipswich on Saturday, it will still be one we need to win to put us in a good position for being the best runners-up amongst the three groups, as they also qualify for the semis.”

Perhaps the bosses can ensure that the Bar ( at least the building) is open. Also no delay between heats 14 and 15

Reading the Ipswich write up from their home defeat v Lakeside it looks like Covatti is doubtful for Tuesday.

If they can be bothered they can get a guest which will make them stronger

Shame for the panthers owners that ipswich have been such drivel so far this season, it will clearly have a massif impact on the size of the travelling support.

Or they wanted to get us while we are under performing:wink:

I think the more important work for some is between the ears rather than on the track....
