SharpenRake Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I can see droves of Panthers fans coming up for this nothing match now. Good to see panthers fans sticking by there team. I'm sure they won't let you down no matter who is riding 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Max Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Anyone know what Richard Hall's injury is? Bjerre/Halsey illness - is this cantbebothereditis?? And who has upset Holub?? A cynic may suggest that a) it is a ploy to reduce the thousands of pounds wage bill or b ) it is Peterborough spitting dummy out at not getting their own way Anyway others can think that, but I fully believe the difficulties with sorting the team out given all the last minute problems Edited September 23, 2016 by Mad Max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudflaps Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 MEETING PREVIEW: Guests galore in farcical finale Craig Cook rides for Panthers in Edinburgh. Mark Plummer 09:49 Friday 23 September 2016 Peterborough Panthers will track just two of their own riders in a farcical 2016 finale tonight (September 23). The city team travel to Edinburgh for a meaningless Premier League fixture which will not count towards the play-off standings as it is taking place after the September 19 cut-off date.ADVERTISINGinRead invented by Teads Ulrish Ostergaard skippers Panthers in Edinburgh. Panthers bosses did unsuccessfully seek an extension from the British Speedway Promoter’s Association (BSPA) as a victory in Scotland could lift them to fifth place in the table, but it was rejected. And success at Armadale now looks distinctly unlikely with Panthers only able to track number one Craig Cook and captain Ulrich Ostergaard from their regular seven-man team. Anders Thomsen saw his season ended by a crash in the Speedway Euro Championship (SEC) last Saturday which left him nursing two broken wrists while Richard Hall has picked up a knee problem.Kenneth Bjerre and Danny Halsey are both understood to be suffering from illness while Zdenek Holub is with-holding his services.Panthers bosses have drafted in four guests with ex-Edinburgh men Matt Wethers and Jye Etheridge coming in for Thomsen and Bjerre respectively, while Shelby Rutherford and David Wallinger (both of National League side Buxton) will form a makeshift reserve combination. It’s rider replacement for Hall.“It is disappointing to be without so many riders,” said team boss Carl Johnson. “And it has not been easy to be able to put a team together. “But we’re very grateful to the four guys who have stepped in to guest and we will treat the meeting as a shop window for next season.”Hosts Edinburgh did make the play-offs by finishing fourth, but they were smashed 58-32 at Ipswich in the opening leg of their quarter-final tie last night. TEAMS EDINBURGH: Sam Masters, Ryan Fisher, Erik Riss, Mark Riss, Kevin Wolbert, Max Clegg, Ryan Blacklock (guest). PANTHERS: Craig Cook, rider replacement for Richard Hall, Ulrich Ostergaard, Jye Etheridge (guest), Matt Wethers (guest), Shelby Rutherford (guest), David Wallinger (guest).Read more at: http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/speedway/panthers/meeting-preview-guests-galore-in-farcical-finale-1-7593986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Panthers will be lucky to score 30 points wth that team& is a joke to the paying public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 So looks like 5 rides for Etheridge and 11 rides between Rutherford and wallinger - betting spread is set at 4 points between them (only that high as they will be same races!!) Also got to be a good bet that Cook will score over half points the whole team gets - Ostergaard looked enthusiastic but not fast last night, so 30 points may be optimistic!!

TheScotsman Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Doubt Bjerre was ever going to go up there anyway. And as for Holub withholding his services - there's a laugh - he has been doing something similar ever since he turned up in the UK last year. And no Hall certainly improves them. Nice that Jye gets another outing though. But hopefully it'll be a nice boost to the bank balances of a few Monarchs so thank you very much Panties. Stinking Panties attitude though to not go up there looking for revenge for having been treated so poorly with no-one picking up their dummies.

scoobydoo Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) One week ago it was Panthers should go up with any team possible, its a totally pointless meeting now but anything that keeps the bashers happy . Forgot to add setting off now with Morrisey Fan were sharing the driving in his aston martin sports car!!

MD Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 But hopefully it'll be a nice boost to the bank balances of a few Monarchs so thank you very much Panties. Perhaps but likely a whopping loss to the club with fans not turning out to watch this nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re post #26 put me down as a cynic! It was the same at Brough Park when they guested for Ipswich last Sunday against Newcastle. They scored 1 point each (Wallinger beat Rutherford in heat 2) and Rutherford's point was for finishing third in a three rider race (Palovaara excluded in heat 6).

And more importantly, if either of these riders get injured in this farce how will this affect Buxton's chances against Eastbourne on Sunday? Not sure that Jason Pipe would be able to conjure up any more riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Good job the panthers didn't make the the play offs having to put a team like that out with everyone falling ill. They should thank their lucky stars. Edited September 23, 2016 by baldyman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jamie Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 when does Holub serve his 28 day ban? is it between now and then end of the season, when he won't miss any meetings anyway? (where's the punishment in that?) or does he sit out the first month of the 2017 campaign and become available thereafter? (although, exactly who would want to sign him is another matter) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although, exactly who would want to sign him is another matter) I'd bad any foreigner who can't average 5 for 2 seasons anyway. Like they're adding anything to our leagues!

Panthers89 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Haha what a team. Who cares, glad we've gone with a crap team, most pointless meeting possible. So good, but still strong enough to avoid a fine. Let's hope Ully is flying otherwise Cook could be pretty loanly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thomsen the only legitimate rider missing out of the 5. Hope the panthers get massive fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
