Panther1997 223 Posted April 14, 2022 Great meeting by us Panthers, funniest thing that heard by some Ipswich fans, moaning that the end of season do is in November, when the season will be over in September! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny though Batchelor just scored a full max not a point taken off him nite before,I would be looking at track advantage for home riders and where has it been in last few years? They can all ride and win with the right tools 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can all ride and win with the right tools vs Scunthorpe - so he only had to beat Douglas. If they don't ride the track correctly, that's their own fault. Huge experience in the team and the promotion to suss out and advice on track conditions and set-ups ... no excuses.

Despite many disagreeing the gulf between the leagues is huge 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He certainly did and it was unnecessary and very aggressive, if Andersen had gone down Doyle would have most likely been excluded. King and MPT had a great race in heat 11 when they were wheel to wheel for two laps but they gave each other room to race. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted April 15, 2022 I think the witches could scrape into the play offs but it depends how poor the other sides will be, not how good the witches could become Starkey gets plaudits for scoring from reserve but he will struggle in the main body of the side, and that's the problem they have two riders who need to be at reserve stark and Heeps Peterborough have 6 riders who will all score points in the main body Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with over 2 points left to play with. It was a baffling decision that hasn’t been explained. Louis also needs to stop listening to Hawkins and put together a team that HE wants, not what the manager “wants to work with”. If you’re gonna start listening to Hawkins then we’ll always have problems as let’s be brutally honest, he isn’t the sharpest tool in the box is he?

Personally I think it should have been neither of them in the side but i said before the season started I'd give then 4 to 6 meetings and see where they are at. You look at other teams and you see the crowds you get at Foxhall, they are quite consistent it baffles me if riders like Basso & Musielak are available to ride the UK why were they not on the shopping list Why dont they do an individual meeting or a challenge to give riders track time before the season? It just seems that despite a strong home attendance it's a low budget affair just to be amongst the numbers rather to mount a challenge If that was true then drop down to the championship but then that would ruin the top flight and with chris being a director that's a conflict right there I feel sorry for Chris really 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
