Peterborough V Sheffield Plpo Quarter Final 2nd Leg


Recommended Posts

Garrity missing from the Poole v Coventry team tonight as his ankle is still badly swollen and they were unable to x ray it over the weekend.

He's going to be a huge loss for Coventry tonight although some Poole fans apparently think not. Number 1 in the reserve list for a reason. Sheffield fans will know what a miss he will be both on and off the track

The feelgood factor is back at Peterborough in my opinion, & that is down to Ged's enthusiasm, & his ability to sort the team out quickly when required. After the problems we had with Sheffield with the away leg, it would amaze me if we went R/R for the home tie.

 

? Everybody wanted a guest for the away leg, we ran R/R and won.

TARGET: 2,000

Tuesday September 22, 2015

PROMOTER Ged Rathbone wants the people of Peterborough and beyond to pack the East of England Showground for the club's huge play-off battle.

The Readypower Panthers host Sheffield in a vital quarter-final second leg on Sunday (September 27, 5pm).

They go into battle holding a 46-44 aggregate advantage after a stunning comeback success in South Yorkshire last Thursday in the first leg of a stormy tie.

And Supremo Rathbone believes an army of home supporters can roar his team to a semi-final spot by creating a daunting Alwalton atmosphere.

He said: "The fans have backed us superbly all season and proved that we did the right thing by stepping in last winter to keep the sport going in Peterborough.

"Our crowds have been hovering around the 1,000 mark for the majority of meetings, but I really want to see the place packed on Sunday.

"As a promotion we have delivered on everything we said we would by putting together a terrific team and, despite all the bad injuries and bad luck that has come our way, making it into the play-offs.

"Hopefully the people of Peterborough - and the surrounding areas - can show their appreciation by turning out in force to help us take the next step towards the title.

"I'll be absolutely over the moon if we can get a crowd of around 2,000 people and that can make a huge difference to the riders."

And Rathbone reckons another thrilling chapter of this play-off grudge match awaits those who descend on the East of England Showground.

He added: "It has the makings of being the best meeting anywhere in the country all season.

"There have been fireworks off the track and I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of them on it as well.

"We're in a great position after producing such a brilliant comeback at Sheffield in the first leg, but they will be desperate to pay us back by winning at our place.

"We've got a big job to finish and we need as many people behind us as possible."

Peterborough bosses are still mulling over their options for the number one spot. They can draft in a guest or utilise the rider replacement facility to fill the void left by injured captain Ulrich Ostergaard.

It is hoped the Premier League Riders' Championship king will be present on Sunday to provide backing from the pits.
