What a night A lot of people including a lot on here wrote the Panthers off before a wheel had turned (especially Ipswich fans) and they were made to eat their words after a real team performance in which the Panthers led from start to finish. Not a lot of passing on what is a usual Foxhall showing and I didn’t think the crowd was particularly good either but Panthers had more than enough to beat what was essentially a three man team. It’s early days but the confidence amongst the Dads Army is growing match by match, mention also to Rob Lyon who isn’t slow to change things and makes the right moves when it’s needed. Onwards and upwards.

I think their is a good case for separating GSA from team declarations as clearly they cause confusion. The current style of averages and the layout goes back to at least the 80’s, the whole set up needs completely modernising and with riders doubling up and down needs one set of GSA per month showing averages for each league riders are eligible for and cut out the 5% nonsense entirely.

GSA shows both 7.59 and 7.82 on different issues but I would suggest issue 3 dated 28/5/21 and effective from June 1st is pretty clear that Cooks average has changed after his score on the 17th May for Lynn, as all scores count up to the 23rd of each month.

Anything can happen these days as seen in the first few weeks of the season.

Of course it will be OK, the rules are only a rough guide this year anyway and their has to be some advantage to Louis being on the board.

Well according to the June GSA no, that’s of course assuming Cooks June GSA is 7.82 I notice the Ipswich preview has Cook on 7.59 whilst all the others are on their June GS averages.

Peterborough have a pay at the gate till and are advertising the fact.

I have been informed it’s close to 750, which must make it difficult to be cost effective, but then Wolves only uses the home straight for spectators which severely limits numbers.

Interestingly the rules say Except when the Referee considers that there are valid reasons for delaying the start of an ensuing heat, the interval between the finish of one heat and the start of the next shall not exceed 4 minutes including the 2 minute allowance. Peterborough v Belle Vue took 1.5 hours including a short interval which was run at a fairly brisk pace which is usual for matches at the EOES. Whats strange is the referee for our match was Paul Carrington, the same as this match. Your point about testing the tapes is a valid one and should be done at least 30 minutes before the start to ensure it’s properly working.

Suspected broken collarbone according to updates

If Pedersen fails to make a decent impression Monday he will likely be out of a job.

Ricky Wells in for Lewis Bridger is the latest news, well that comeback lasted well didn’t it. One has to wonder if this illness that forced Bridger to miss meetings is genuine.

Indeed

Thanks for that

Surely whilst the weather is like this means it’s likely they will hit track problems like yesterday on a regular basis. Has the Management access to other week nights or weekend afternoon or evenings when Greyhound meetings are not taking place.

At this moment in time I think it’s between Belle Vue, Wolves and Sheffield with Ipswich, Peterborough and Lynn making up the numbers.

That’s one we agree on

I think you will find it was Cookie that couldn’t agree terms.

25% was mentioned but not sure if it’s accurate, nevertheless the crowd looked quite good despite limited numbers in the grandstand

I would have thought in this current situation this was a no brainier for clubs to stream all their home matches.

You certainly got that right

Pretty easy at Eastbourne it’s always 1&3, very few tracks provide a half decent gate 4

Early days but I rather think you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory there, it remains to be seen if it’s going to be costly.
