Stiltonpanther

Never thought I would say 58-32 was a good meeting but it was. All Ipswich fans should come on here and say well done Panthers.

Think this will be a close one so going for a Panthers win 46-44. Great to see a good line up. May stand on the first bend for heat 1 with Nicki, Hans and Doyley in it.Hopefully a good meeting with no injuries.

We are in Ipswich and it is pouring so right decision. We are staying overnight so plan B put into operation and having a nice meal in the pub. Shame as we were looking forward to getting our first fix of methanol.

Another close encounter tonight. With MPT out and Hans going through a bad patch, I cannot see us winning this one so will go for Panthers 43 Wolves 47.

Perhaps the scoring should be 5...3...2...0. This would at least make it worth winning and in the event of a final, the 5 points was greater than the 3+2.

If I remember correctly you did not want him last year either but proved to be a winner. I am sure he will have to prove his fitness before a wheel is turned.

I made a bold prediction last year that we were a top 6 side and was proved to be correct so I will say the same again this year.

I am pleased that the team in general has been kept. They deserve to have the chance to defend it. Personally as long as we are entertained will be enough for me.....and this team will entertain. Bring it on.

Must go R/R for Ulrich which gives everyone can ride and find a guest for Hans.

Hard to get a decent guest to cover for Hans....Jake Allen possibly and rr for Ulrich

Heard Cook wants money up front to ride..not going to happen

Are we not allowed riders from Sheffield nd Wolves now theyare out.

5 points from 3 rides

Cracking meeting. Well done to both sides for putting on such a great evenings entertainment. Would have took a 2 point loss after the injuries. Should be a great evening on Thursday.

I think the majority of us have to eat humble pie this morning. Kerr not a good guest, Bjarne will not score the points at reserve.....how wrong we were. Well done to both of them and the whole team. Now let us finish the job next week.

Just done the score for each heat with no extra rides for either team and now predict a win for the Panthers 48-42. MPT 4, Lewis 2, Hans 11, Scott 9, Chris 14, Bjarne 6,Jordan 1. Chris and Hans in heat 15. I know it will not be entirely correct but was fun doing it. Bring it on.

I have faith in what Rob Lyon has chosen to do. It does seem a bit of a gamble but none of us know how MPT will go and using Lewis as an insurance rather than 5 riders is probably the way to go. Bjarne at reserve, it is pivotal that he performs well. He will not score the points that Hans and Chris did but expect he will take 7 rides if necessary. A cliffhanger of a meeting, great for Eurosport so lets hope we make it to the final

Well you are the one who bleats on here that they call off the meetings too early so cannot see what you have to moan about. They probably waited till they saw you had arrived and then called it off

I have just watched this as well and Sam said when Rory walked round with the managers then it was obvious it was not going to happen.Funnily enough I was talking to Carl Johnson outside and said to him....have they asked Rory yet...enough said

Rearranged for Thursday.

Just come back from the Showground and was not surprised it was off as the puddles on route told me we would not be riding. They did not let us in.They had an enormous downpour at 1630 ish.

Very happy with that result. Hope MPT is fit for next Monday. Well done Panthers.

Can see this as a win for Wolves but only by 6 points which will set up the second leg nicely. A bit worried about Pedersen at no5 but Hans will be with him for 2 of his races. A trump card with Bomber at 2 again. Hopefully good close racing and no crashes.

Which is what you say they were doing on Monday. It would have assured the top 2 could meet in the final.

Perhaps we should go back to 1 v 4 and 2 v 3
