Cook negotiations are going down to the wire. Will a deal be struck?

Any news on MPT?

Simon Stead doesn't seem a great manager. Didn't replace Batchelor during the regular season. Managed to bottle this semi final against a very weak BV side. If Bewley had turned up, BV would have hit 60.

So much for the new Batchelor, hahaha.

If Thursday is called off, the first leg will be used to determine who progresses to the final. That is my understanding. I also agree with the method.

On a bonus, Thursday's crowd is going to be huge. I think it could match the crowd we had for Reading in 2006, could we hit the 6,000 mark?

Yes, Kerr was booked as a guest. We can book Cook in for Thursday.

Lawson might be fit by Thursday?

Not near the track, but if it is raining in one part of Peterborough, it is likely to be raining in another part of Peterborough.

I'm in my bedroom, I have a window.

No way does this fixture go ahead, it's pouring down.

With the Sheffield fixture being delayed, doesn't make sense to force this through on a wet track. Let's have a spectacle later this week for Eurosport viewers.

The rain would be good for speedway. MPT would have more time to recover and we would get a more competitive semi-final.

Douglas is like a number 1 around the Showground, Panthers are in big trouble here. Rain is the only saving grace we have. Do you agree @KingoftheTrack?

Bet365 has the Panthers at 5/6 and Wolves at 20/21. I'm shocked, I would have had Wolves as 1/3 favourites.

If the Panthers pull this off, it will go down as one of the biggest upsets in speedway history. Has a team ever qualified for a play-off final without its top 2 riders? Poole would not have won any of their Elite League titles in the early 2010s if both Ward and Holder were unavailable for the play-offs. @Steve Shovlar would agree.

Agree. A fully fit Wolves side will win comfortably.

Wolves are definitely favourites now. Panthers are without their top 2 now.

Scott Nicholls just said that he wasn't fortunate enough to be world champion. Why doesn't he say not good enough?

What has Laguta got to do with doping? Ridiculous from FIM. I hope Russia pull the plug on supplying gas to Europe.

Why isn't the Russian anthem or flag allowed?

Any news on our guest?

He was never ruled in. Cook is the man.

Cook's last 3 rides at the Showground were on another level. He is the man that will lead us to glory.

I told you, MPT Is out of Monday. Cook is in.
