If you came 1st, pick a team and then go out, people will say you should have picked another team. Whereas if you don't have the choice it is out of your control, you just have to get on with it. Just a mind/psychological thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were making gates for the first time this season pretty consistently (which we haven’t this season at all ) and we were more aggressive on track. All our team contributed on the same night for the first time. Peterborough even had to use the T/S at home which many Peterborough fans said last Thursday shouldn’t be allowed !!! Was the track relaid for this meeting or is it the usual material they’ve used all season ? Personally I think last nights performance from the home team was a one off and they just expected to win. They will be back on it Thursday According to MPT the surface material was brand new that they've never ridden on before and the starts were totally different and it caught the Panthers riders off guard.

BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted September 21, 2021 We must not pick Sheffield in the play-offs look at the scores of some of our riders around Owlerton this season and you'll know why it would be a dangerous move to pick them. Cant bank on Batchelor having a poor meeting to see us over the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelv said it was clay based. Is that a new thing for your track, that Buster has done. Does Buster do your track, i suspect he might, but don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed the AFA was like that in our last home meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panthers by double figures again imo. Sorry to burst your balloon. You'll be choosing Sheffield in the semi-finals will you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers99 434 Posted September 21, 2021 What logic is there to change the track for the first time this season (significant) changes with two meetings of the season to go? Riders have got their bikes dialled in then the club throw a curve ball like that. Very strange. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 203 Posted September 21, 2021 I enjoyed the meeting and although the track surface has been questioned I thought there was some decent racing. Both the Premier and Championship Leagues are now heading for an exciting conclusion and I for one have definitely enjoyed the British stuff much more than either the GP's or Son. Closer racing and look at some of the scores this year where not many points separate the teams. Weather permitting I reckon the play off semis and finals will be edge of your seat stuff and it's all boiling up very nicely. Hopefully there will be some changes in place for next year though with either one main league or a larger Premiership. This has to be the way to go, a six team league is not the way forward. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PistonBrokeAgain 1 Posted September 21, 2021 Good result for Sheffield...look what happens when Batchelor can be bothered! One question though....Why do Sheffield keep using James Wright? He is doing worse now than before he was dropped! Surely someone like Josh MacDonald would be a better shout for the play-offs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
