Belle Vue v Peterborough Panthers - Grand Final

[BartoszZmarzlikFan 491]

If we keep it tight at the NSS then we win.

Forget our two Home defeats to the Aces because one was due to fatigue from a double header and the other was down to a poor race track.

Make the track grippy with an outside line at the EOEA then the Worrall's won't be half as effective as they're trappers who produce their best on slick tracks.

As for the NSS meeting Pedersen & Palin should have the beating of Etheridge & Brennan so it's down to the top 5 to keep it close.

If you make the showground grippy and rip up the outside, don't expect Pedersen to be as effective as he was last night on a smooth slick surface. Palm Toft with his hand injury won't go well on somewhere pulling his arms out, so it'll be interesting. Track set up will suit some on the home team as well as on the away team. Make it grippy for Bomber with an outside line and Wright will also have a field day. Make it slick and smooth for Pedersen and you can expect Bewley to go through the card.

The problem with the showground now with the clay in the surface is even if you rip up the outside it takes minimum 10 heats for the inside to slicken off enough that the outside becomes the fastest line. It's going to be tricky to set up the track to suit the home team. As Sheffield showed a couple of weeks ago, If you don't make starts you're in trouble on any track.

So what's the guest situation for Panthers next week?  Kerr on Monday but ?? on Thursday?

Etheridge will do well at Peterborough, don't underestimate him. the flip side, Palin can go well at Belle Vue

The Aces did quite well on a very grippy Owlerton on Monday.  Past results don't mean too much imo, but Belle vue won twice at boro this season by being the better team on the day simple as that.

Lets just hope for two good meetings for the cameras and that no guests end up racing, thus making the flagship domestic final of the sport a contrived joke..

If a heat leader is missing from each team then both run RR...

From reading the reports it sounded like all the meetings in the semis were a bit short on the level of entertainment we would want, (only personally watched the Wolves leg of their semi so maybe the reports didnt do the others justice)...

Regardless, hopefully we can have two great finals, delivered by two "proper" teams...

Sounds like Kerr being lined up for both meetings

Makes sense for continuity reasons also the rumours he's a 2022 panther don't go away. 

Without wanting to go off topic both Peterborough and Belle Vue have needed guests and have avoided Cook with barge pole, what has gone wrong for him not to be trusted or have Glasgow said no guest bookings?

Often wondered why Cookie and Belle Vue parted company.  Never really settled at any other top tier team.

Due to 8 day rule he can’t ride at Peterborough unless he replacing MPT at 1.

Agreed, just what I'm hearing. Be a shame if that's the case

You'd think they would give him until the last minute to see how his fingers are on Monday with Kerr at 2 and then choose between the two of them on Thursday depending on how they have healed.

Not so sure Kerr will be as good at Belle Vue  and Nicholls doesn't usually go well there so could be a struggle for Peterborough on monday.
