Because almost no-one was wearing a mask in the Grand Stand? Strange meeting really, the early heats it seemed as if all the riders were so fast & smooth it just didn't produce any racing, I bet up to heat 8 no matter who had gate 1 came first and whoever had gate 4 finished last, gate 2 second and gate 3 third more often than not. Until then it seemed as if the Panthers had the advantage but just couldn't pull away. Heat 8 produced a great race between Worrall & Harris. Worrall clearly quicker but impeded by Etheridge in front of both a couple of times which allowed Harris a sniff, they swapped places until the final bend when Worrall failed to take Harris wide enough to end his challenge. Heat 10 was odd, Andersen remonstrated with the referee at the end, obviously thought that Wright has grasstracked to pass him on the inside. During the interval either the Aces found their gating gloves or the Panthers discarded theirs because it was simply one way traffic. Kurtz woke up. Harris had an EF at the tapes, even a Plam Toft TS did nothing to ease the flow of points to the Ace's. MPT had been the most consistent Panther to that point. Heat 15, saw Harris redeem himself a little outfoxing Bewley in a good battle for the minor placings, his EF didn't help but certainly didn't cost Peterborough the meeting. Panthers are a strange team, it's almost as if they have 4 3rd heat leaders, 2 better than average second strings and a reserve. Will see if they can bounce back at Owlerton on Thursday.

Is it a case of grabbing a grandstand spot on arrival again, but I assume all seats will be available as it's England's "freedom day".

Can't see a topic for this & was planning to visit the EoESg for the second time this season. Ostergaard goes from reserve to #1 or did I hear a fake news rumour? Who at reserve? Nicholls? Ace's at full strength?

Birmingham Brummies 2020
Col replied to ProudtobeaBrummie's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The Brummies return to action has coincided with work making me use all my AL, so couldn't go v/s Scorpions. My next visit to Perry Barr won't be until Kent visit. IMO while the start to the season has been disappointing you've got to allow the riders who are not riding elsewhere time to settle, especially Morris who has barely ridden a bike for 2 years and is still in reality only just coming back from injury. -
Well that was pretty abject from Stars despite the Witches book a Belle Vue second string to guest for a former world champion. Jorgensen had a moment, Lawson was solid enough, the guesting Panther was the best Star and wasn't in heat 15? Hope Mountain isn't injured long term. Wells, Kerr & Heeps wee atrocious. The post meeting interview with Stars team manager was inspiring.

I don't know how Complin fitted between Lindgren's wheel & the fence either.

Except for the Garry Stead benefit meeting that was without doubt the most packed I've ever seen Owlerton. Including a few PLRC's & Simon Stead farewell. Did not see any diversion signs except pointing right at the closed junction, I went around the traffic island twice.

Stars v Panthers. Thursday 01/07/21
Col replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Whatever, nit picking.. Kings Lynn are still operating with a team that don't have a hope of winning a meeting. Before the averages changed Riss was Stars #1, he isn't even #1 for his Championship side (below Harris 2/3/4 in P'boro averages). Now Jorgensen is your #1, he's not even in the top two of his Championship sides averages (below Ellis, 3/4 in Sheffield averages & Aarnio).
