Every club had reserved dates for all the cups and play offs this year.

I wouldn't hold to much store with that, it's called keeping his options open

I can only agree it didn't make for very good viewing at all. Difficult to say whether Belle Vue were that good or Swindon that bad but it's going to be difficult for the Robins to pull that back.

I agree about the weather forecast, it certainly isn't looking very good.

I think you will find that applies to every club

I think that says a lot about the Panthers teams in the way we have picked our guests and replacement riders and have a great team spirit, we have had a nightmare season with injuries and still got to the play offs with the second best away record in the league. Picking the right guests is a very important part of management as is paying them all on time, Peterborough don't have a problem on either score.

Surprised nothing on this so far, I see Tungate now guests for Ostergaard. Could be interesting. Weather forecast is now pretty good.

Of course that's assuming Peterborough will be granted facilities for their missing riders.

The addendum to the rules below was issued by the SCB on the 2nd April 18.11.3 This is re-written with an addition, that was approved at the BSPA AGM to the rule as written in the 2015 Speedway Regulations The Guest must be .................then the higher of the MA’s will dictate eligibility. The exchange rate from the Elite to the Premier is to multiply the Elite League average by 1.4 but as no Elite League rider with an average above 6.00, at the start of the season, is permitted to participate in the Premier League, then they cannot participate as a Guest. (NB. This is the same procedure as outlined in SR 18.6.4)

No it applies to guests as well

Didn't believe it the first time I read it

I don't think signing Lambert helped either, made your tail even worse.

Didn't present much of a problem to Thomsen, he gave the Rockets pair 15m start in heat 8 and passed them both on the first lap, now that's something you don't see very often at Rye.

All the competition semis and finals had dates allocated to them specifically, done I might add by John Campbell at the start of the season so it's somewhat surprising that this issue has again arisen this year.

Good team performance and the damage was done in the first few heats, very impressive showing from Grondal who hadn't seen the place before but everyone chipped in with good points and the result never looked in doubt. Crowd didn't look very good and Peterborough fans accounted for a third of them.

This could be very tight, should be interesting and I am coming up for this one, any weather updates locally would be appreciated.

Nothing on the Rye web site regarding this although I did read that Bowen got hurt at Berwick, why is Maassen missing.

Peterborough haven't had a domestic fixture on a Saturday for years so it will interesting to see what the crowds like. A bit of rain overnight but the forecast is ok for the rest of the day.

I think Foxhall is a lovely little stadium and provides good facilities and great viewing, it's shame I cannot say the same for the racing which is generally poor.

I don't think Sheffield are as good now without the advantage of a big hitter for Stead.

On this occasion it's more about availability of the riders which is why it's Saturday.

Very good GP and some excellent racing. Woffinden now putting some daylight between him and the rest, some of his overtakes are breathtaking.

He certainly FELL short last night, every bloody race.

Knowing Ulrich he probably doesn't want to let the team down, unlike some riders he actually cares, full credit too him.

Local weather updates would be appreciated as I anticipate a fair few travelling from Peterborough
