They could have done but the conditions had deteriorated too far and any attempt would mess the track up further and Thursday night wouldn’t then have been an option. 2. Peterborough possess all the equipment needed including blades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pleasureboy60 123 Posted October 6, 2021 Does anyone know if MPT will be available for Thursday nights showdown or will Kerr be his replacement. I'm not convinced that Kerr is a suitable replacement and blows hot and cold. Could be the difference between Panthers progressing to the final or being knocked out in the semis.

I do agree on Kerr, however if he rides he naturally has my 100% backing, however of it doesn't bring in the desired result it has to be seen as a poor choice of guest.

The idiots in control put a system in place that oap’s, stuck in a time warp hated, when 90% of their customer base where just that. Laughable but very sad that they can be so dumb. Shift your customer base BEFORE implementing something that alienates so many fans, all now lost to the sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flappy 1,605 Posted October 6, 2021 There's no excuse for all fixtures not being streamed these days either. People moan about crowds but let people still pay the clubs when they're at home. There's many ways to make money, as it stands people follow twitter or updates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
