Everyone from the Management to the team and to the guests we've had along the way deserve a massive pat on the back.

Thank you everyone. 

We've had some banter on the forum this year and I hope members will realise I'm only joking half of the time rather than taking it serious. Roll on 2022.

Let’s hope all the tracks are back stronger next year

Think writing was on the wall once Kurtz wasn't riding, not his biggest fan but he can be blisteringly quick at the EoESg. Could Ace's not use a guest? Not sure on rules any more.

Gutted for Belle Vue fans & Bewley, hope it's not his last league meeting in the UK but suspect that is likely unless the Polish authorities change their rules. Brennan did Ok, the Ace's engine room misfired.

Happy for Panthers fans.

Didn't think track was great, didn't produce much racing wise until late. 

There's always one

It was OK but we were definitely spoilt by the racing on Monday. There was not enough on the outside for a consistent passing line and the inside line was strong throughout. However, the best riders made something of the track. Tatum thought at the beginning that the outside was going to develop later in the meeting so the track had been prepared for racing.

it's a shame there are so many supporters that only turn up for playoffs when they're needed all season

Get what you're saying but it's down to value for money. The only value comes at playoff time & then it's still only certain tracks that offer it at that point, in terms of producing quality racing. 

Peterborough & Belle Vue are the top draw tracks in the uk, cannot be doubted. 

I couldn't justify paying to watch this sport week in week out on titchy tracks, ftg tracks etc.

Understand that col mate but  unfortunately the top riders choose to race there so in my eyes racing against the top lads makes you sharper 

 

If Bewley was unbeatable every ride in British league, agreed, but he's not... admittedly the only points he dropped tonight (heat 1) were due Worrall's inability to team ride & a track loaded with grip on the inside early on. Winning races breeds confidence, he is getting that here, would he at the gating hellhole of Hallstavik?

Well done Panthers, commiserations Belle Vue. Went along tonight and really enjoyed it, makes such a difference when a stadium is full of people. Some of the racing was fantastic after a slowish start.

Absolutely buzzing..and no one can deny this amazing team doesn't deserve the title..they just soldiered on in the face of adversity and full of heroes..and let's not forget Ully and Hans as this whole season was massive team effort..well done boys.. you've made my year!

Well done panthers deserved win.

BV came up short again, the riders gave there all but basically a one man team. Lemon is a serial failure, tactically useless and makes to many mistakes. When the pressure is on he clearly carnt hack it and looks bewildered.
 

BV need a clear out and should get rid of Lemmo and get a proper manager who knows what he’s doin like Rob Lyon.

Needed 9 The 7 Panthers , Cook and Kerr the East Anglian support riders

Didnt look like anyone was given a medal. 

No medals, no champagne, no fireworks. Very poor post meeting celebration after a great final

There was certainly champagne, leastwise something sparkling and fizzy

Dan is comfortably the No1 rider in the UK, so not sure that keeping doing the same thing will improve his game...

He has reached that level now where he can regularly miss the gate in the UK and still often come from the back to win..

However. Learning to NOT miss the gate as often as he does will be the difference for him, as he has all the other attributes to reach the very top..

Therefore, riding (with and against), several riders from the highest level EVERY meeting he races in can only benefit him I would say..

Last night he again weighed in with nearly 40% of the Aces points, which he has done so, (and even better), several times this season already, so not sure that by doing this so regularly he is getting the challenge he will need to remain race sharp at the highest level..

Talking of % points of the teams total. Dan and Tom got 66% of the Aces total last night.. What an effort...

Yet 18 rides from the other four yielded a total of just 13 points..

Your'e not going to win many Speedway meetings with that return...

Well done to the Panthers. Well deserved...... Hope Buster and Dale give a thought for The Stars when picking a team for 2022

Well I hope they give the Stars 100% more thought than they did in 2021 .
