Palin could be Panthers saviour tonight.

Concussion is a week off.

If Andersen was knocked out he is out of this and Leicesters meetings. Hopefully he is fine to carry on.

Again BV riders drifting off the inside. Nearly lost a 5-1 there.

Stop you nonsense.

IRR for Hans?

NO way is that Scott’s fault. Hans exc.

Ouch!

Good move by Palin. Thought the home riders would have known the place to be is on the inside. Schoolboy errors by BV. And thought the crowd would have been very large. Disappointing to see many empty seats in the grandstand.

Hope we get some decent racing and not gate and go. The final deserves better than we have seen this season.

Why haven’t Leicester chosen to ride on Friday evening? No clash and keeps all fans happy. They ludicrous choice of riding against the SON is stupid.

Outrageous that Leicester want to run a semi final against the SON. It should really not be allowed to go ahead. Change it to Sunday afternoon.

As Leicester only rode here a couple of weeks ago it will be much closer than last time and a very dangerous fixture.

Think Poole should go for Edinburgh, as they will be riding Tuesday in Scotland then have to travel all day to Poole for the semi on the next day. They will be knackered. Let’s take advantage of that. Leicester are more dangerous, and should be avoided.

Not sure the point of this. Strong Poland team v a weak ROTW. Only one result here. Is it just to massage Polands ego?

Good heat with Douglas giving it some. But overall a poor meeting for a semi. Panthers clear favourites to win the title now.

At last a pass. good race. Morris has been diabolical tonight.

The idea is to pass. Devoid of passing. Follow the leader and Wolves have capitulated badly. Miss the gate, forget it.

Yes it is that boring. Looks like you think the same. Have we had more than one pass yet? Terrible racing so far.

Dire, dire entertainment so far. Gate and go. Thought Peterborough was meant to be an exciting race track. Cameras need to come to Poole for some overtaking.

Edinburgh used a t/r in the league meeting which will not be available to them in the playoffs. Also Poole made a fatal error on winning the coin toss picking 1 and 3, which gifted Edinburgh 1 and 3 in heats 13 and 15, which they exploited. Poole haven’t made that mistake since. Whatever team come down it’s not going to be easy. There is no standout team in the final 4 and anyone can win it on their day, though I hope it’s Poole. Should make for an exciting end of season.

Surely we will chose Edinburgh unless the riders prefer to go to Leicester.

Belle Vue fans. You are 10 up after walking the first leg at Sheffield. To lose from here would be unthinkable. Have more faith in your team. You are in the final against Peterborough.

I take back the boring but still say outcome was totally predictable from weeks ago.
