Lukas Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 No ones touched on this but Ged Rathbone has realy impressed me this year..and you could see why on TV last night and I've noticed at home meetings also..helping out with the bikes, giving riders pep talks, keeping his eye on and assisting with track prep, he observes the gating and I've even seen him bollocking our starting Marshall for not being prompt enough and Rightly so IMO..he really speaks well and says the right things and I can see how how into it he is (like a fan). I got good vibes from him from the off when I attended the big meeting to save panthers in the winter...I know there's a lot of man love going on there! but a top bloke and everything I'd want in a promoter and long may it continue..cheers Ged!..hope I speak for many appreciative panthers fans which I'm sure I do. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudflaps Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Half century should be enough for the play-offs Robert Lambert misses the Sheffield meeting. 09:01Thursday 16 July 2015 Panthers have been set a 50-point target to seal their place in the Premier League play-offs. Joint team boss Carl Johnson is convinced a half century will prove enough to clinch a top-six spot and a tilt at honours. And, with the city racers having already banked 33 points from their 13 meetings to date, they are bang on track with almost half the season remaining. Johnson said: “I feel sure that 50 points will guarantee a play-off place. “We’ve done very well so far with our away record being particularly pleasing. We’ve actually picked up more points on the road than at home. “The foundations for a very good season are in place and it is a case of staying focused and getting the remaining points we need, “But we are not just going to settle for being in the top six – we want to finish as high as we possibly can.” There is an added incentive with the top two finishers advancing straight to the semi-finals of the revamped play-offs. The sides finishing between third and sixth will contest the quarter-finals. Panthers currently sit level with reigning champions Edinburgh at the Premier League summit and entertain another play-off chasing side tomorrow night when Sheffield visit the East of England Showground (7.30pm). They will go into battle without teenage sensation Robert Lambert, who is still being troubled by the hip problem picked up when crashing out of a televised triumph at Berwick eight days ago. Lambert’s new average of 8.53 has taken effect, but captain Ulrich Ostergaard remains at number one on his mark of 8.63. That means the youngster can only be covered by the rider replacement facility with Danish ace Michael Palm Toft cleared to return after a bout of chicken pox. Johnson added: “It’s a big meeting for both teams with us in such close proximity in the table. “A win would give us a bit more breathing space over them whereas a victory for Sheffield would see them leapfrog us and boost their own play-off hopes. “They have drafted in a couple of guests who ride the Showground well so it could be a classic.” Sheffield are plagued by injury problems with Andre Compton and Ashley Birks joining long-term absentee Simon Stead, arguably the top rider in the Premier League, on the casualty list. They draft in Rye House man Edward Kennett and Berwick skipper Kevin Doolan as guests in addition to using the rider replacement facility. Sheffield have signed Italian prospect Paco Castagna, but Tigers bosses have been forced to delay his debut to next week as he is still awaiting the arrival of equipment in this country. PANTHERS’ REMAINING FIXTURES Home – Sheffield (Jul 17), Edinburgh (Aug 9), Newcastle (Aug 21), Somerset (Aug 31), Scunthorpe (TBA). Away – Workington (Jul 25), Glasgow (Jul 26), Edinburgh (Aug 7), Ipswich (Aug 27), Somerset (Aug 28), Rye House (TBA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

em1500uk Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Suspected dislocated shoulder is also what I've seen reported. If so, either way, he could be out for a few weeks. Hoping to hear better news! Sending Simon best wishes for a speedy recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Shocking luck for the Panthers. Hope Simon has a quick recovery. Suspected dislocated shoulder reported on the Peterborough web site, hopefully not as bad as first feared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Konopka into 4s line up ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcatdiary Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Konopka into 4s line up ?? Don't think he is eligible like R Lambert and Grondall, at the moment our fours team is Ostergaard and MPT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Sorry to hear that panthers you lot really aint having alot of luck this year but have to give credit your still doing very well in the league . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proud panther Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Konopka should be able to ride, because he got an average at Redcar. Stopping Robert Lambert riding because he didn't get a proper average because GB wanted him for the World Cup just about sums up the muppets running the sport. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 You can see why Rick Frost walked away from running a team , wouldn't be a surprise if Ged Rathbone did the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborough daz Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 That rule surely needs to he changed to allow Lambert and Grondal to ride to avoid having to use a guest or dropping out as Blackbird unlikely to ride either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudflaps Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 stupid rules for the sake of stupid rules.... the sport is run by self-absorbed muppets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 To be honest would Robert Lambert be fit to ride anyway if he was allowed, he missed Kings Lynns match at Belle Vue last night which is the second match in a row for Lynn now which shows hes injured as hes more committed to them than Peterborough.
