Arch Stanton Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 The morning of the first meeting for Peterborough after 5 long Winter months and only 7 replies since BCD started this thread? I know a few are not entirely happy with your team but I’d still expect more enthusiasm than this! The Showground is an superb place to watch your Speedway strong team or not. Difficult one to call this. Peterborough obviously have riders that know the Showground inside out but Lakeside look the stronger side and their riders have already had a meeting so levels things out. Very tight I reckon and I’ll go for the draw.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjolnir Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I’m still finding it difficult to call what I think the result will be at this early stage of the season. The Hammers certainly looked ready to go on Friday and hopefully that meeting will give us an edge. I could be wrong but I think Zach will be starting the season at reserve, which is useful as I think Morley and Bowtell would probably struggle as a reserve pairing at the Showground against your 6&7. I’m hoping that Lawson, Ellis and Newman can be the difference for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping that Lawson, Ellis and Newman can be the difference for us. Lawson, Morris and Ellis are all generally quite good around Alwalton, Newman is a bit up and down, it’s going to be decided by how good the Peterborough top 3 go against the Lakeside top 3, Nicholls should be very consistent at this level but we need good back up performances from Ostergaard and MPT. Either way it looks like being close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiltonpanther Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Tricky one to call this. Not much practice may give the Hammers the slight edge so will go for Panthers 43 Hammers 47. Most of all I hope there is some good racing and no injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Regardless of what ever happens I won't be drawing too many conclusions just yet but I am hoping that we can maybe edge it or least get 42 points, our top four should be ok, just down to what Ben, Zach and Alfie can pick up, Zach could be the dark horse.
