Imagine if Rob Lyon replaces Hans with Conor Mountain in heat 14...
Panthers are on the verge of the league title. Huge effort to the entire team and everyone at the club.
Let's hope we can now win the play-off competition. I think we should pick Sheffield.
This idea that Batchelor needs to 'turn up' is a myth.
Bachelor is finished as a top level rider. He used to be a sharp gater, but his reactions are slower.
I can't see anything but a Panthers win. 43-47 would be my guess.
Just looking at that line-up is depressing. One world-class rider in the entire field.
Anyone else remember the days of an SWC event including the likes of Crump, Gollob, Pedersen, Rickardsson and Adams.
Agree, tonight's meeting was also far better than either of the two Polish league semi-finals I watched, which were one-sided affairs.
Tonight's meeting had drama and excitement.
With Hans moving out of reserve in October, would it be a brave move to pick Wolves?
I believe the first leg at Monmore would be in September.
Take out your competition when you're at your most strongest.
The nerves are starting. I'm very busy at work, so won't finish until the meeting starts, which is probably for the best.
The Panthers are going to lay down a marker tonight.
Two very one-sided semi-finals, the lack of competition in the Polish league makes it hard to watch. I suspect the final will also be a one-sided event, one team will have Artem Laguta, Tai Woffinden, and Maciej Janowski.
I can guarantee that the Premiership play-offs will make for better viewing than this.
