northyorksbear 610 Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) I don't know whether it was just all talk or mind games last weekend about giving up on the play offs but the fact is this..if we go and win all 3 matches on the Northern tour this weekend we will be 3 points off a play off place!. unlikely but certainly doable with Berwick and Newcastle's form Masters being out for Edinburgh. It was said to try and justify Holder being allowed to go to Poland, when realistically he probably would have gone anyway before the "deal" To me very disrespectful to the Panthers fans Edited August 11, 2017 by northyorksbear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case then I wouldn't blame Ged for walking away from this sport. Let this sport die a slow death, we don't need to be part of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lukas 911 Posted August 11, 2017 Don't matter now with a piss poor performance at Edinburgh it's definitely all over now. What were they thinking going r/r for BWD with Lambo and Bacon's away form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodles 1,337 Posted August 11, 2017 Don't matter now with a piss poor performance at Edinburgh it's definitely all over now. What were they thinking going r/r for BWD with Lambo and Bacon's away form.I gave up on the league weeks, if not months, ago. I'm still dining out on the fours win last Sunday. Carl has obviously been reading the Jim Lynch book of team management, terrible tactics tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeilWatson 1,995 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) The top four is looking pretty clear now, on a +/- basis the league rankings are: Sheffield +28 Glasgow +22 Ipswich +11 Edinburgh +9 Redcar +3 Workington +1 Peterborough = Newcastle -5 Scunthorpe -12 Berwick -25 Edited August 12, 2017 by NeilWatson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crump99 4,484 Posted August 12, 2017 The top four is looking pretty clear now, on a +/- basis the league rankings are: Sheffield +28 Glasgow +22 Ipswich +11 Edinburgh +9 Redcar +3 Workington +1 Peterborough = Newcastle -5 Scunthorpe -12 Berwick -25 Panthers lost at home (1st time) to Sheffield on June the 18th and it was clear enough then who the top 4 were going to be, "Post by Bigcatdiary on Jun 23, 2017 at 12:58pm I have copied the latest league table and added the plus and minus points which tend to show a better reflection of who the front runners are,Any points gained on the road are plus whilst any points dropped at home are minus At the moment Glasgow are well clear and the other members of the current play club are Edinburgh, Ipswich and Sheffield. Panthers will need several away wins to even get close to the top 4 and will need to start picking up something even if they lose, I rather suspect our two home losses to date could cost us dear come September. Just one league away win and 3 points from 7 away matches is a very poor return so far." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump99 4,484 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Just part of the cause of it A very small part that can be rectified by the powers that be and less wishy washy rules and a strong slap on the wrist. I don't agree with what Rathbone did, why or what were the perceived benefits? However, without Rathbone there may not be a Peterborough Speedway, so if keeping a track going with all of the benefits to the sport that provides then that's a strange way helping the sport to die.
