as many times as doing the 'honourable thing'

Here's something I came across from 1961 I know it has nothing to do with speedway but the principles are the same.          Denis Law scored 6 goals for Man city in an FA cup tie against Luton Town on Jan 28 1961, but still finished up on the losing side, the 4th round tie at Kenilworth road was abandoned after 69 minutes because of a waterlogged pitch with City leading 6-2. The 2 sides had to start again from scratch on the1st February and this time Luton emerged as the winners by a 3-1 margin with Denis Law again scoring for Man City, the 6 goals that Law scored in the  1st match were expunged  from the records.   So these things can happen in other sports as you can see from this example.

I appreciate that. But it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. 

They were not in a marathon they were still having a picnic when the lights went out

Often on here, we bemoan the lack of mainstream media coverage, and the very poor following the sport has considering over 60 million people live in the country, with many of them living no more than an hour away from a Speedway track..

Howerver, due to the (almost weekly) way the Sport is so dreadfully ran (in the UK)...

Maybe it really is better that hardly anyone knows about Speedway in the UK, as just imagine the weekly laughing stock it would deliver if put out to a wider sporting community...?

Better to stay under the radar I would suggest and keep it 'Mickey Mouse'...

Who knows, maybe one day Disney may finally see the obvious synergy and come onboard with a multi million pound sponsorship?

[Flappy 1,605]

Worrall, Garrity, Howarth and a reserve who'd actually score is needed. Wilkinson and Lambert won't do anything around Rye House.   Are Jordan Stewart and Broc Nicol still in the country? 

Another option could be to use Rye specialist Busk Jacobsen at number 4.

Peterborough must be made to field the same team if possible surely why should

they gain from something that was out of both teams hands lakeside have lost an advantage

which was an away win and a 20 point lead on the night.

if they are allowed to change the team then what a joke as half of the panthers fans on here

agree it should not be re run and lakeside should have it.

now we have Wednesday only real option if we get through is double header cup/league Workington friday

1st leg c/f Saturday at rye then 2nd leg Workington sunday.

plenty of red bull for the boys if so.

just hope we can get the well deserved win on Wednesday and justice is served

gutted as I cannot make it as already have long standing engagement be the only one I have missed this season

 

COYH.

Lakeside lost the advantage when they choose to go to Rye House, doesn't matter why a meeting never went the distance, either side is allowed to change the original line up subject to injuries and guest availability.

we lost a home advantage going to rye that's what makes the 20 point lead we had more impressive and important

I don't think that a full side beating guests, r/r and two flip flopping reserves on a track that is more like their home circuit (albeit not where they started the season) than the big pacey EoES is that impressive with all due respect.

PETERBOROUGH make what has become a familiar trip to Rye House on Wednesday for another attempt at resolving their Championship play-off semi-final. The T.Balfe Construction Panthers effectively have a second chance as they faced a 22-point aggregate deficit to Lakeside on Sunday before the meeting was prematurely brought to an end by floodlight failure at Hoddesdon. The matter was considered by the BSPA and SCB on Monday, who came to the expected conclusion that the match has to be re-staged as the Hammers were not mathematically sure of progression. The second leg scores are therefore re-set to 0-0 with Lakeside carrying the 46-44 aggregate advantage that they gained at the East of England Arena way back on October 7. Of course, Panthers still have a hefty injury list to contend with, as Scott Nicholls, Michael Palm Toft, Bradley Wilson-Dean and Tom Bacon remain on the sidelines with season-ending issues. However, Ulrich Ostergaard is set to return meaning Panthers are able to at least track three of their own riders. Panthers’ guest strategy is severely limited by rider availability at this stage of the season, so a change of plan from Sunday sees the rider-replacement facility in operation for Nicholls at No.1. Thomas Jorgensen and Carl Wilkinson line up again having competed for Panthers in the abandoned fixture, and they are joined by Newcastle’s Ashley Morris who comes into the middle-order. Co-promoter Ged Rathbone said: “I understand it’s late in the season but it does surprise me that more riders don’t want to make themselves available to guest. “Potentially they could have three additional meetings with us with a good chance to make a fair bit of money, but many of them have dismantled bikes for the winter and have equipment up for sale. “If it was me, I’d be looking at my average, looking at the teams involved and thinking I could well get some more meetings – I’d actually be ‘phoning clubs to say I was available! “We did ask about using Scunthorpe riders and that was a no-go because they have a Cup Final on Thursday which I do totally understand. “Having said that, we’ve never stopped our own riders from guesting and we’ve ended up with a run of injuries from riders getting hurt when racing for other clubs, so maybe if I was to continue in future I’d take the same view, that I need to protect my own team. “Certainly we know with the team we had for most of the season we’d be able to give Lakeside a massive battle. “However, we’re grateful to the boys who are coming in, and in Ashley we have a rider who we know well, he can gate and he can ride this sort of circuit well. “We also know that it’s very much a second opportunity and whatever happens we can’t be any worse than we were on Sunday. “We have three of our own team racing, which is an improvement, and whilst we were virtually down and out last time, it’s a new meeting and as we’ve seen several times before anything can happen.” Admission prices at Rye House on Wednesday are £10, with a free race-card for those who have re-admissions tickets from Sunday. In all other cases normal admission prices apply. The meeting starts at 7.30pm. LAKESIDE: Richard Lawson, Zach Wajtknecht, Adam Ellis, Kyle Newman, Nick Morris, Ben Morley, Alfie Bowtell. PETERBOROUGH: Scott Nicholls r/r, Emil Grondal, Ashley Morris, Thomas Jorgensen, Ulrich Ostergaard, Carl Wilkinson, Simon Lambert. ENDS

Can Peterborough use R/R for Nicholls as he's jetted off to the Caribbean on holiday?
