Bandits V Panthers 20/5/17

[havenagotahope]

Weather forecast looks a bit iffy at the minute but with no football to disrupt track preparation or covers being used meeting should be on. So assuming no last minute call offs looking forward to the start of the bandits unbeaten run. With a couple of riders hitting double figures or even paid maximums. 🎉

As has been much-reported, Bandits haven't beaten Peterborough since 1998 -- too long!

 

Saturday sets the clock back to zero.

I fear you will be clipping their claws with a comfy home win...

[Flappy]

Have we changed the riding order? Hansen at 2, Lambert 4 and Ostergaard 5?

We had no football or rain or even sunshine for the last meeting, still managed to c*ck it up. So lets hope for a return to the very good track prep up until then this season, the best in about 8 years

Yes, that's the line-up.

[happyvalleywoolerman]

if ever we had a weather forecast that is shouting for our covers, this is it, with morning rain to clear by late afternoon.

[maneacat]

Yes, that's the line-up.

Doubt it - Panthers BWD injured last night and also K. Hansen.

Appeal on facebook for volunteers on Saturday morning so they share your thinking!

Due to the ever changing forecast we are looking for volunteers to help us cover the track in the morning.

We plan to have all hands on deck between 8/8:30am but we are dictated to by the forecast.

If things change we will keep you informed.

Thanks in advance and feel free to share as many hands make light work of a job only our great club is currently undertaking anywhere in the speedway world!

Free Teas and Coffees will be on hand for all helpers. ☕️

So anyone know bwd injury? Big blow if he is out for a while.

[TheScotsman]

Hands knees and boomps-a-daisy.

If so Replace him with Tungate maybe with another change? Edited May 19, 2017 by Lukas

[scoobydoo]

BWD not riding for Swindon tonight must be a big injury doubt for both Peterborough away matches this weekend now

[Baldyman]

That can be really nasty sometimes.

[dontforgetthefueltapsbruv]

to replace BWD with Tungate now would mean losing 4 points off the other rider you change as not like for like (no new converted ave for Rohan yet despite riding 4h 4a so original 9.03 stands)

Eg A 3ptr for Ostergaard (although going by some reports that one is like for like 😛)

True. For a 2nd heat leader who has been hiding in the #4 position and can't win 1 race out of 4 then there is very little difference. Now I hope he proves me wrong and goes through the card but I wont hold my breath.

Panthers missing 3 riders

 

Holder replaced by Bjerre

BWD replaced by Morris

Hansen I presume will be replaced by R/R

[Panthers89]

That's pretty pathetic from us I'm afraid and definitely bending the rules. Hansen was good for last night but away from home...... not? Mmmmm!

 

Morris isn't a bad guest at reserve, going well this season. Still, easy Berwick win. 53-39

[screm]

Some rain over night, right now its just about dry but very cloudy. Plan is to cover the track this morning, forecast cast is for rain today which will hopefully clear by the time the meeting starts later. I`m sure Berwick will be keen to get this meeting on as given the changes to the Peterborough team they will never have a better chance to get their first league win this season.
