New era Panthers Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I don't really know how some of the tigers riders go around your track so I can't really comment, but panthers are defo a top 3 team, if you don't pick up injuries. Simon Stead started his speedway career at Peterborough with the Thundercats conference league team , Berge if my memory serves me right scored 10 including 3 wins when here with Glasgow last season , Bates had a good meeting here in the play offs 2015 , Howarth ,Garritty and Hall have had there moments in the past, Greaves looks to be the weak link though. Should be a cracking match whatever the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiltonpanther Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Solid all round performance from the Panthers but sure there will be harder tasks to come. However, I cannot see us being beaten at the Showground. Particularly pleased with Tom Perry and we look strong whoever is in the other reserve berth.NBJ did well to hold on to his bike in heat 15. Well done Panthers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaron Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) After a 6hr round trip from Bradford including a detour off the closed A1 @ the A639 junction on the way home! I am left feeling a bit beat up after that mauling and questioning my own sense of reason. Panthers were on another planet so much so even the rider formerly programned at Scunthorpe as Tom Perry0 is now known as Tom Perry8+2!. I sat in the mainstand surrounded by the Panthers faithful and it was uncomfortable viewing from the off. Showground is a big flat out track but the Scorps were just flat out there or have Peterborough just got themselves some cracking riders this season in Ostergaard; Porsing;MPT; NBJ and the excellent Grondal. I had hunch he would be good;but pumped for Wilko in my Fantasy Team; I might be shuffling earlier than anticipated on the evidence last night ! Time and again the Panthers outgated us and were set up by turn one. There was very little passing in the meeting such was their supremacy yes and thats including Tom Perry8+2. At this rate its going to get a bit boring at the Showground because few will be able to contain their top five there this season. Certainly there was little speedway going on last night for the connossieur. But back to the Scorps; guest Rich Hall has apologised as he was unwell. MPT ruled Zeddy out the meeting in Ht3 riding into him. Awkward one and sent Zee zee over-the Top ! Looks like a shoulder so we might have to shuffle ? This meant a busy night for young Josh who will at least have learnt a bit. Old-er Josh tried hard to go with the Panthers but quick off the mark they always had the edge and he was often chasing their tails. Ryan was our only saving grace really winning the re-run of Ht10 after Lambert slid off but it was over by then. I was thinking; had this been a boxing match the ref would have probably stepped in to save us !. It could have been worse as we were effectively gifted two shared Hts. When I look at current day 15Ht matches I always ark back to the 13Ht formulae to get the true impact of it. Last night was a 20-58 reverse in old currency; so it had me recalling 1972 and the pan handlings the Saints would take !. Alex and Wilko tried to give it a go but again chasing tails as the Panthers stormed away. Wilko was interviewed and mentioned having to re-learn to ride a track on a new set up. I suppose theres a point there so the away team is on hiding really because your having to re-learn the track on the job while the home riders are all dialled in adding further to the degree of difficulty! Insightful words from Wilko and explains somewhat. Panthers will take some stopping this season; Porsing is Elite quality and Grondals going to be big in my book. Would Nicolai have made any difference well it was a bit of a gaters paradise; with Hall under the weather he could surely have faired no worse. So where to from here is it down to the lake I fear...err No ! lets regroup check the wounded; dust ourselves off and get ready to face this lot at the EWR next week because they wont be mucking about. Panthers top five are going to be a handful round the EWR and the rider formerly known as Tom Perry0 !

Number23 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 As an fairly neutral, the meeting was disappointing viewing from a racing point of view. Obviously affected by losing a rider to a harsh incident did not help Scunthorpe at all. However home track advantage is one thing but even so Scunthorpe riders just did not get out of the gate at all making it easy for a confident and competent home side. Positives were the humour from the Scunthorpe supporters on the back bank, obviously disappointed but in good voice and excellent banter. One to savour for Peterborough and one to forget for Scunthorpe. Best wishes to the injured rider who it appears is not too bad, could have been worse, as it was not a nice incident.

Panthers89 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Has Holub done enough meetings for a revised average yet? If not that could explain it...... It was an awful crash, so no surprise in him pulling out of the meeting. A big highside and both sets of bikes coming at you, can hardly blame the guy for pulling out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 In an interview broadcast on BBC Radio Cambs this morning Ged sounded puzzled by Scunthorpe's performance. "They just weren't at the races, but I don't know why". Coming on the heels of the draw at Sheffield, it's been a good start for the Panthers.

A big highside and both sets of bikes coming at you, can hardly blame the guy for pulling out. Yeah, as I soon as I saw it, I thought he'd done his collarbone at the very least. If Zdenek has escaped with bruising and abrasions to his shoulder, it's something of a relief - it could easily been worse.

A rider took highside off the wrong side of the bike and landed in a nasty heap - so what are you trying to get at?

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Are you speaking from experience? A rider takes a highside off the wrong side of the bike, lands in nasty heap, and you reckon it was somehow planned. Really??? All the best Rob No - to both. Anyone that thought my comments were about the crash itself is in a very blissful place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
