Recommended Posts

PETERBOROUGH and Ipswich have also moved quickly to re-arrange the League Cup match that was postponed on Good Friday.

 

It will now take place at the Showground on Easter Monday (April 6) with a 7.30pm start, giving the Panthers two meetings on the day as they also race at Rye House in the afternoon

PETERBOROUGH are set to face a hectic Easter Monday with a second Premier League Cup clash added to their schedule.

 

The Readypower Panthers travel to Southern Group pacesetters Rye House at 2pm and will now need to make a swift return to the East of England Showground for a 7.30pm showdown against Ipswich Witches.

 

Club bosses have acted quickly to re-arrange a fixture which was postponed on Good Friday due to heavy rain.

 

And club chief Ged Rathbone is hoping for a bumper turnout for the Bank Holiday battle.

 

He said: "We thank Ipswich for their co-operation in re-arranging our home meeting so quickly.

 

"I'm sure a derby meeting on Easter Monday will appeal to both sets of supporters and I'm confident it will be a good occasion.

 

"It certainly makes for a busy and exciting day as we also go to Rye House in the afternoon.

 

"They are two very important meetings and hopefully it will be the day in which we get our first wins of 2015 on the board."

 

Panthers will use Richard Lawson as a guest number one at Rye House with Lasse Bjerre taking over at Peterborough.

Pleased with this and hoping to get along.

With both teams now able to track close to their first choice side or at least first choice of guest it should actually be more attractive than the original.

Makes you wonder why they couldn't have arranged this meeting for the Easter Monday in the first place with no EL fixtures taking place.

 

Much better looking line ups.

They couldn`t have done so because of the full Polish league programme on Easter Monday-which luckily was completely cancelled due to the weather late last week.

There will be plenty of Ipswich fans there, we always have very good away support. Should be a good meeting. For Ipswich to get a some points here I think it all depends on how gino and rohan perform.

Tungate normally goes well at the showground and is usually good for double figures.

 

Manzares though was poor in his 3 meetings there last year.

I'd say Heeps and Gino are your 2 riders that you need firing, I'd have faith in King and Tungate.

 

Could come down to the reserves, which tbh looking at it, is a toss up, maybe slightly favoring Ippo with the potential Covatti has.

That's why I put those 2,, tungate normally does okay there, but in my mind didn't quite look his best on Friday.and gino doesn't exactly pull up any trees there, but may do slightly better due to his recent pairs event

I agree he's started the season fairly slowly but hopefully he gets going tomorrow and puts in a match winning performance which we know he's more than capable.

Not sure about a toss up TBH, that's the one area I'm hoping we exploit tomorrow as IMO we look quite a bit stronger there.

 

Probably put the kiss of death on it now and our reserves will be pants!

Heeps will do fine he'll be amongst the points no danger, it's Manzares who we'll need a better showground performance from.

 

How is Lawson around the showground?

I cant remember Nielsen riding the EOES before, so unsure how will do, also Covatti, is hit and miss, Greenwood can score alright, also Lambert, well before he blew his best engine anyway!

Lawson has a good track record around our place, can ride the dirt well, certainly stronger than Olly, stronger than Lasse, tough call.

Massive fixture for Ipswich after Rye,s start and with both teams at full strength this should be a cracker, I do hope the Ipswich fans travel for this as the team certainly needs the support for this one.

We need to win this fixture for sure. Although Rye took the full 4 points, just the win and 3 points won't be a disaster as long as we stop Rye taking a point at Foxhall in a few weeks as we took a point at their place.

 

If we then take the full 3 points at home to Somerset next week that will tie us on points.

 

Lots of if buts and maybe's I know, but first things first we need to pull off a win tomorrow which won't be easy.
