Exactly what I thought would happen. Said all along to avoid Leicester.

Leicester mullering us out of the starts in virtually every heat. Poole look rusty in comparison. No complaints Lions deserve it. King in particular looking stale. Harris so much better than Andersen would have done but thats lady luck for you for Leicester.

Of course it is. While there is little between Andersen and Harris at Leicester, Harris is far superior to Andersen around Poole. We need all our riders on top form tomorrow to take a lead to Leicester. No room for passengers. I think this is going to be extremely tight with Leicester strengthening up.

It absolutely stinks that Leicester have done this. Saturday and Sunday is SON, so what about the fans who have tickets for Saturday and Sunday at Belle Vue? Why on earth isn’t this meeting on Friday night? What possible reason can they give to wreck peoples plans at such short notice? It beggars belief that they have done this. They could run on Friday, or even Thursday at a push. Bad promotion.

Yes if the 5% is added. Andersen is usually dusty bin around Poole. If he doesn’t gate he rarely passes. Not his favourite track. We really should have gone for Edinburgh.

Harris for Andersen. Changes the whole complexion of the tie. Hans is usually good for 5-7 points max at Poole. Harris is good for 12-14.

If Andersen is out, which is highly likely, Leicester can have a guest up to 8.36. Strengthens them.

I would rather Andersen rode on Wednesday. Never great around Poole and a guest might score more.

In which case his season is finished.

I wish BV all the best.

Lyon said they had withdrawn him as he bashed his head on the temple. If it was just a cut Andersen would be riding.

Title has now been decided. Only a massive croak for Panthers will lose this. As a neutral it’s a shame BV didn’t get a ten point lead but Panthers were not harmed at all by Andersen injuring himself. They had the riders to cover. Nicholls turned the clock back and rode a blinder on a track he doesn’t usually ride well. It would be great for Bjarne to hang up his leathers with a league title, and we can give him a proper send off at Poole at the end of this month.

Think Panthers will try and blag that Andersen hasn’t got concussion and try to use him.

Whatever the result of heat 15, Panthers now very clear favourites and for them to lose. 6 points max is nowhere near enough.

There were a few good races in the 1981 final. Most when Penhall rode. This is much better racing.

Panthers can win this tonight.

Why does Kingofthetrack and Keirstarmerfan have two accounts when they are clearly the same person?

Never going to compete with Bjarne at reserve. Palin has backed him up. Reserves win meetings.

Panthers title to lose now.

Nicholls riding like a man possessed. Bjarne rolling back the years.

And I was right. Can’t expect Steven to win every heat he is in. Only 6 in it. Advantage Panthers for the title.

Heat 12 looks like Panthers have a chance.

Glad to see Bewley finally looking better with a decent hair cut. About time.

Another great race.

Panthers doing a very good job restricting BV. Very even at the mo.
