Panthers V Witches 19/8/14


Recommended Posts

Was certainly a strange decision with Worrall as lights took an age to come on but hey its Horley! Surprised she got heat 13 right. The white line certainly doesn't go between the gate poles!

As for ulrich he was unlucky but put himself into a dodgy position on more than one occasion. Worked twice didn't work twice. Well done to the Witches though. Pity it wasn't all 4 but for silly mistakes when on 5-1s. Ellis and Heeps were the difference. Can't believe Hawkins scored paid 9!

Ps Roynon after looking well off the pace came good with 2 great rides. Hope he can stay injury free.

Not surprised at the away win by the Witches last night. Was something I personally fully expected to happen. Had hoped the Panthers would prove me wrong, but sadly it wasn't to be. Good to see that Roynon got his 7 points. Hall and Dilger need to take a good long hard look and themselves though and sort themselves out for the next meeting! What was the racing like to all those folks that went? Did you feel entertained? I'm still trying to work out whether I do really want to head over on Sunday or not. Panthers may well lose again, but the racing might be good... I just don't know what I want to do :lol:

Made my second visit of the season last night and a great night of racing I thought Witches was by far the better team on the night -for Panthers Hall and Digler was poor on this form can't see the Panthers reaching the play offs - on a different note why did the ref Mrs Horley allow this meeting to be run without a white line ? Has Horton run out of chalk ? .

Also with double headers coming up how does the promotion expect to run 2 meetings before the 10pm curfew is a 6-30 start a possibility ?how does the promotion expect fans to afford all these meetings in a short space of time . And nearer the point can the promotion afford double headers ?

20 nicker for the double headers seem a bargain to me I'll be there , but doubt many others will , esp after panthers get trounced by the rebels sunday Edited by hans fan

must admit I heard many moaning Panthers fans on the the way back to the car park last night some saying the Panthers wouldn't win another home meeting this season with the current line up . I thought the racing was great and I agree £20 is a bargin for a double header . Just question two meetings can be completed by 10 pm

Must admit, I'm struggling to see where the Panthers will manage to get a win at home! But...if the racing was good, it might be worth going over on Sunday to have a look...

On a ref note.

Heat 15 bend 1 Bjerre on the inside of Worrall pushes him wide and Worral slides off - no red light comes on until the riders are on bend 4 with Worrall still laying on the track. Barbara Horley's decision is all 4 back even though she never stopped the race until later in the lap.

Re-run: Worrall on the inside of Ostergaard pushes him even wider and Ostergaard hits the fence but somehow holds onto his bike although has to wobble off the track. The race is allowed to continue

My question is: Has the 'unsatisfactory start rule been changed so inclued the fact that a rider has to fall?' because I couldnt see any difference in either start appart from a rider hitting the deck

 

Unfortunately this is a Horley decision and they can sometimes be very strange, she once awarded a rider second place in a race at Peterborough and at the time of the announcement the same rider was being interviewed by the meeting presenter in the pits.

 

Bloody clueless springs to mind

Forgot about that one, I guess consistancy from refs is what we all ask and she delivers :t:
