That’s the rumour

Yes I think they could and if the cameras were not there I think they would have done.

1. They could have done but the conditions had deteriorated too far and any attempt would mess the track up further and Thursday night wouldn’t then have been an option. 2. Peterborough possess all the equipment needed including blades.

No doubt, thankfully he wasn’t the one making the decision.

It’s because the TV were there, if it wasn’t live on TV then it would have likely been called off after the 5pm cloudburst. Of course then we would have likely had complaints from someone we had called it off to early !!!!

The track was dreadful and the right call was made.

A really nice man who was an excellent rider manager and promoter. Lovely sense of humour and was a genuine fan of the sport. He will be missed at Peterborough despite the short time he was here.

It will be interesting to see if the tracks are better, let’s be honest they couldn’t be any worse than the gate and go dross we have seen this year. I have been to Torun for. a GP and it was really good, last nights was very poor in comparison.

Well the racing certainly is, this years series has generally been dreadful.

Only concealed to supporters, I am now aware Mountain has a GSA of 3.00 in the Kings Lynn team. Quite why Rising Star GSA are concealed is beyond me, it seems to be one of the standard BSPL directives, let’s keep supporters in the dark.

Forecast for Sunday, Monday is quite good.

Premiership and Championship have different rules re Absent Rising Stars

Yes I remember the rule, personally if the referee is satisfied a rider does it on purpose he should have the power to award the race as it stood at the time the rider fell. I despise cheating in any form in this sport, unfortunately some of the people running the sport don’t share my views.

I would think that’s the main problem

No, the rulebook only goes up to page 178. Yet another crock of shyte by the Vice Chairman

Which begs the obvious question if you are both correct how is he replacing Stefan Nielsen who is on a 3.00 average ?

I don’t agree with his actions and certainly won’t condone it but it happens on a fairly regular basis and has done for lots of years. Unfortunately the powers at be seem reluctant or powerless to stop it.

His Championship GSA divided by 1-5 is 2.66 so he fits any way. I think the GSA issues should be updated and show averages (actual or converted) for all 3 leagues or N/A as appropriate, I see no good reason why meetings home and away should not be listed as well. List alphabetical instead of in teams per division.

2.58 is his rolling GSA on the Lynn website 2.55 is his average for Lynn this year.

His last Premiership GSA was 2.47 for Leicester in 2018.

I will tell you something else that wasn’t funny for Panthers fans. Morris falling entirely on his own in heat 3 and being allowed back in the rerun Douglas giving Palm Toft a nudge in the rerun and causing him to fall and getting injured and no exclusion for Douglas.

Yes because the Panthers are invariably better off using RR.

I think the whole team and Rob Lyon in particular know that the job is still only half done and they need to stay focused in the second leg, if the track is prepared for as it was last Thursday it should be a cracking fixture. No one is getting carried away yet, it’s still early days.

I will take that. Well done boys you dug in well. Hopefully MPT will be OK for next Monday.

It completely depends on who goes best on any given night, any one of the four qualifiers are more than capable of winning the league. Probably one of the most open leagues for years.
