Tonga 53 Posted April 9, 2017 A fantastic meeting which I and Olivia thoroughly enjoyed. As predicted, BWD was simply too strong for the Bears reserves. Ten points is a very handy lead, I'd say that 90% of sides have won the tie overall after winning the first leg by 10 or more points.

New era Panthers 2,055 Posted April 9, 2017 A fantastic meeting which I and Olivia thoroughly enjoyed. As predicted, BWD was simply too strong for the Bears reserves. Ten points is a very handy lead, I'd say that 90% of sides have won the tie overall after winning the first leg by 10 or more points. I will be surprised if a ten point lead will be enough as we have not got the strength at the top end of the team , Hansen doesn't ride well away from home at most tracks . It will take a monumental effort from Ostergaard , Holder to prove himself to be a useful NO1 and another top scoring reserve performance from Wilson Dean as well as a steady 7 or 8 point score from Starke as I don't see many points coming from Lambert , Hansen and Bacon .

proud panther 1,505 Posted April 10, 2017 Love him or hate him, Ben Barker is worth the admission fee, with his all action racing. I'm probably in the minority, but I think he is brilliant to watch. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcatdiary 3,165 Posted April 10, 2017 What happened with Barker riding into Holder after heat 15??? Barker being Barker, he also had a lot to say in the pits afterwards, needs to grow up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted April 10, 2017 Why is BWD riding for Swindon? Sack him and bring in committed riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedcarRacer 228 Posted April 10, 2017 Ostergaard knows his way around STMP - but he is a shadow of his former self - won't hit double figures on Thursday. This Bears team could be 20 on the Panthers with BWD not riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
