BartoszZmarzlikFan 491 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) If we pull this off tonight then the boys should be put on the next honours list. And Harris / Nicholls should be the top 2 candidates to win the Sports personality of the year. Wolves by 6 imo Edited October 4, 2021 by KingoftheTrack 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wee Eck 703 Posted October 4, 2021 50 minutes ago, lisa-colette said: Holder was injured during won of the playoffs when the final was Poole vs Brum (can't remember what year that was, maybe 2013?) We signed Greg Hancock in his place, I guess this is why we have the deadline now. Can't remember how far ahead of the deadline Greg was signed..? Biggest upsets? lol They are the favourites!! I think you’re getting confused! Holder was injured at Coventry on 5 July 2013 and didn’t race again that season. Hancock was brought in to help Poole make the play offs a month later - he made his debut at Poole on 5 August 2013, long before the cut off. Initially, he was only signed for a few meetings but he was persuaded to stay to the end of the season on the grounds that it was his best chance to win his only UK league championship. Which he managed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted October 4, 2021 44 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: Crump scored one or something last month for Ipswich at the EoES. Basically Cook is the only 'better' option on paper than Kerr and for whatever reason one or both parties didn't fancy it. Losing MPT is a blow for P'boro but if the track is how they like it and not how it was against Sheffield they should get the job done but I'd never write Wolves off, they are a team full if decent British League riders. Losing MPT is a massive blow, they can overcome it if Bjarne rides well, there is some rain due today which probably won't help the home side as it didn't help Wolves last week, sounds like a last heat decider to me hopefully, should be good viewing.

You know its bad when the whole stadium goes eerily quiet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) It was a devastating crash. Like Forever blue it happened directing in front of me. Poole needed a 5-1 in heat 15 to win with Darcy and Chris. Ward led but entering lap 2 Chris had gone on the outside of a Coventry rider and slipped in behind Darcy as they entered the first bend. But Chris clipped Darcys back wheel, straightened toward the fence and ploughed in. To make matters far worse, the bike hit the airfence which lifted and Chris at high speed went straight underneath it hitting the Armco. Badly broken bones and months out from which he never fully recovered his previous form to this day. Edited October 4, 2021 by Steve Shovlar 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flappy 1,605 Posted October 4, 2021 2 hours ago, foreverblue said: In my opinion the main problem Peterborough have is Bjarne, who has been out of form of late and they need him to have a great night. He will try his best, he always has but if he is off form tonight Wolves will win. No idea why they can't get a better guest than Kerr , I would have thought a half fit MPT would be better than Kerr. You can only use Ipswich or King's Lynn riders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 4, 2021 Bet365 has the Panthers at 5/6 and Wolves at 20/21. I'm shocked, I would have had Wolves as 1/3 favourites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know where bet365 are getting their prices from tbh. Lewis Kerr at No.1, Out of form Pedersen at reserve for a free scoring Hans Andersen and R/R in operation is always dangerous vs. A fully fit Wolves side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 4, 2021 Douglas is like a number 1 around the Showground, Panthers are in big trouble here. Rain is the only saving grace we have. Do you agree @KingoftheTrack? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
