Glasgow Tigers V Peterborough Panthers , Cl , Sat 27th May 2017 At 7pm


Recommended Posts

So after our magnificent effort at Sheffield last night and the Panthers probably getting softened up at the West Lothian midden tonight , I can only see one outcome in this meeting .

Panthers were awful here last season , only Ostergaard ( once the track slickened off a bit ) and Tom Perry put up any fight , and Katy's distant relative rides for us now .

Jack Holder did ok when up with Plymouth , but Hansen and Pearl and Dean were dreadful with Workington and Somerset respectively .

Paul Starke has had a couple of decent meetings at Ashfield , and i'm not sure if Simon Lambert will be fit enough to ride .

Our three superstars should carry on their merry points scoring way and our four youngsters should contribute enough to nudge us to around the mid fifties in our continuing pursuit of evil at the top of the league .

Hope the forecast thunderstorms disappear in time for me to enjoy a few cold Budweisers in the Charlie Monk stand while texting to the updates site .

3 points taken by the tigers. I literally can't see it any other way. As a kicker, I'll say they win by 15+ points. I think the only points Panthers have gained away from home this season was back in March, when they were against Scunny. That won't happen again tomorrow. As long as the storms don't interfere, should be a nice meeting.

Potential for guests for 2 from Holder, Ostergaard and Hansen will significantly strengthen PB. Hansen in particular is going through a poor patch and is usually woeful at Ashfield. Ostergaard likewise.

According to the 16.3 of the Speedway Regulations:-

 

"Changes must be made at least 72 hours before the start Time of the Meeting at which it is intended to be used."

 

If Peterborough track Chris Harris today, then Glasgow should have been advised of this by Wednesday.

 

If so, surprised that they had not publicised this in advance, given that the presence of CH might attract additional punters.

 

If Kenneth Hansen's version that he was only texted of his sacking when in transit after leaving Armadale last night, then this smacks of cowardly deceit by Rathbone & Co.

 

Maybe pressure was put on the Glasgow Promotion not to advertise the Panthers lineup for Saturday until Hansen was advised, but I would reckon that they did not expect to be drawn into such a shabby process.

Whatever folk think of the changes is irrelevant , I love it and makes it look a much more attractive fixture now . Bring it on .
