Glasgow deserve some better luck. But on a brighter note, Lemon has won a race with Kennett last!!

Good luck in the exams from me too. Your constant team permutations were a wee bit annoying for a while but I then tuned into the fact that you are a statistically minded kind of lad. Nowt wrong with that at all. Far better than some of the know-alls that populate the EL forum, particularly around the south coast area!! Study hard and do your best in the exams.

Interesting review PC. I have to say the team manager was very poor when Plymouth were at Peterborough recently if it's the same guy.

Match won after heat 12!!

I certainly won't be going.

That's a strong Plymouth team. Monarchs first defeat coming up. Certainly weaker without Max.

Wouldn't be so bad if it was at the end of the meeting - we could leg it if we were quick enough. But the damn dirge is at the beginning of it - just after we have sat down!

Err but if Lambert gets a proper average the PL conversion would be about a 9. You want to swap Schramm for a 9 pointer??

His scores in the PL have been pretty missable!

But once he gets an EL average (soon I assume) surely that needs to go through the conversion to get to a PL one?

Assessed for the EL though.

Even if the BSPA changed the rules for Lambert, surely the multiplier would work against him. I don't know his current average - say it's 5.5 for argument's sake. That would convert to a PL average of over 9. Even if they took his current assessed 3.00, that would give him an equivalent of a 5.0 in PL terms. So how could Newcy ever get him on a 3?

Did well enough to get the track record at Peterborough last week.

Tracks were certainly graded after every race in my younger days. Meetings certainly didn't take any longer to finish either.

Schramm looks to be on 4.00, but Stevie is on 4.22. And he will be the junior reserve!!

Couldn't agree more. Not being a Panthers supporter, but living within an hour and a half away, I have been a more than casual attendee at the showground this year, in fact I have only missed one meeting. I have also been to Ippo and Rye this season and am waiting for my first trip of the season to Mildenhall. I don't support any of those teams either. The last 3 are all within about an hour's range. Lakeside is a similar distance away but I can't be bothered fighting the M25 on a Friday. However in the absence of an explanation for the postponement, I'll be surprised if I am in a rush to go back to Peterborough until Monarchs come visiting again. I certainly won't be there next week even if they phone me up and ask me to go for free. It's such a shame because the racing is generally very good especially compared to the bore-fests that are Ippo and Rye. I may watch Eastenders instead. At least I know it will be shown when advertised.

Ippo - because they are Ippo.

Speedway should not have been scheduled for the day after Truckfest then.

Didn't see his tyre touch them but would have needed to see it again!! Thanks for the update.

Loads of Edinburgh fans now out of pocket for hotels, flights, train fares, petrol, etc. If it's always bad after Truckfest, why the hell was a speedway fixture scheduled for the next day?

That's just unreal. A health & safety issue it says. From their website............. PETERBOROUGH have been forced to postpone their eagerly-awaited Premier League showdown against Edinburgh tonight (Tuesday). The East of England Showground clash has been called off due to a healthy and safety issue which is unlikely to be resolved today. Co-promoter Trevor Swales said: "It is a very unfortunate situation and we are absolutely gutted that we cannot race tonight. "It is no-one's fault but a health and safety issue has arisen and we don't expect to be able to rectify it in a matter of hours.

Having ignored all food outlets, based on previous experience, I thought it was an average kind of day. The racing was - average. Nothing great to write home about. Gates 3 & 4 were the places to be. So why did Panthers choose 1 & 3 in heat 15? Only Ostergaard had done anything from there and that was in the previous heat. The track was - average. Not that much in the way of passing. I'm sure the regulars can tell me the facts, but there appears to be a bit more banking on turn 2 - is this correct? Not that was much in the way of overtaking round the outside. At least they kept the dust down apart from on bends 3 & 4. What is the rule on tape touching with your helmet? I thought that was allowed nowadays? Bowen seemed to catch the tapes with his lid in heat 10 but was thrown out despite trying to show the ref it was his lid that touched them. And below average - the presentation. Gawd it's dull over there. Long silences, long periods with just music. No interviews. Very little announcer chat. Not good enough in this day and age, especially on a hot day. And above average - we won the 50/50 draw so ended up with a small profit to cover the costs of Rye plus Peterborough in one week!!

That was stupid. Did you not read previous forum comments about them - especially the fish? That's fish with a small f!

Yep if Wee Joe could come back in then we might have a chance. I fear Stevie is going to suffer burn-out sooner rather than later. His schedule is just insane.

Sounds like a very tight affair and got there in the end despite a few dodgy moments on the way Still don't see us winning the league though.
