Here we go, you just can't help yourself can you.

Such a shame there's so much bitterness and sniping building within this thread, no need for it really, on Monday we were treated to what has been described as one of the best meetings in recent years, the scores are finely balanced and fingers crossed we will get more of the same tomorrow evening. Whoever wins will deserve the victory, Peterborough have had some tough luck but so have Belle Vue, that's speedway. As far as I'm aware no team has cheated their way to the final, as unfortunate as the injury to Hans is it occurred after the final had commenced, just like if it had happened tomorrow evening, the final is underway and both teams just have to make do with whatever changes they can make that fall within the existing rules, no special dispensation should be allowed imo. Would say the same whichever team I supported. Obviously the usual trolls chip in with their stupid comments, one even claiming the Belle Vue doctor isn't a proper doctor and that Hans should ride in the 2nd leg, if he was knocked out then he cannot ride, it wouldn't be fair on himself or any other rider taking to the track. Here's hoping we get to see some great racing in front of a bumper crowd, whoever wins will be crowned champions and will deserve the accolade.

Of course, that's what we all would like but the injury to Hans could've happened in the early heats on Thursday night, would you then be requesting some sort of special dispensation for the remainder of the meeting? It's a 2 legged final, whatever happens after the start of it is just the way things go, you can't start changing the rules to suit one or the other team, it's game on now. I'm hoping that Thursday will be just as close and good a meeting as last night, whoever wins will deserve the trophy because they won over 2 legs.

That would possibly be a fair post if Bagpuss were an Aces supporter.

Bismarck?

Because your mum says so?

What makes you say that?

Nobody's bottling anything, we're witnessing a thrilling speedway meeting, no quarter asked, none given. Just enjoy it instead of gobbing off.

Great ride by the Panthers pair, brilliant race.

True, if the SoN organisers are watching then I hope they keep Morris away from any track prep for weekend, just let it be done as normal.

Helmet cam spoiled that race

Short memory, he was instrumental in getting you to the final.

So that's Emil, Greg & Thomas so far, any more?

Decent racing though, which is what really matters.

Just call it it.

I know it can change but currently the weather looks like being kind for the next week or so, this will hopefully mean we get 2 decent meetings and at this stage of the season that will be a blessing. As for who wins, close in every department, could be classic encounters both nights, here's hoping.

I thought the idea was to win, Peterborough doing more than enough in that department. Nick Morris the one who's cost Wolves any chance of pulling off a win.

Disagree, maybe passing at a premium but plenty of close action.

Paper round?

I'd quite like to see Peterborough win through but your input is starting to sway me towards the Wolves.

Thought Eurosport might have been a bit more creative and put a proper highlights package together tonight, just showing the last 2 live meetings for 2hrs is a bit boring as they are fresh in the memory.

Yep, white mudguard.

That's correct he did, I could be mistaken but I think it was the 73 KO cup final run-off when he beat Anders Michanek in what was the best race, bar none, I have ever seen, the lead changing hands on every bend for 4 laps, PC grabbing victory on the line.

Only the cameras surely.

Just comes across as a spoilt kid, maybe he was spoiled being the younger brother. Seen him ignore the handshake plenty of times and that's just on tv meetings, height of ignorance imo.
