We have Summers riding for Scunny trying to secure them Play -  off place and tomorrow riding against Scunny trying to stop them getting that place.Only in Speedway

isnt there a rule that says no one rider can guest for a team one day and against the same team the next day . its like being cup tied  ?

We'll be fine with MPT, BWD, Nicholls & Lambert covering

Sheffield could be a  potential banana skin for Panthers and 3 of those mentioned above  will have to do much better than what they achieved against Scunthorpe and an improvement from Grondal  as well as all 7 Sheffield riders look as though they could be a handful , personally I would ask Jake Allen to guest for Panthers he looked very impressive.

Might turn up myself if they do. He's worth a watch.

Nicholls seems to be far more suited to the smaller tracks like Ipswich, maybe swap him next season for King who perhaps needs a change of luck track

At this stage lets just hope Danny can come back and ride anywhere.....

Who is going to come in and score more than Nicholls, MPT & BWD on their own track?

Agree, but,  better a guest, if it had been last night, been down to 5, too risky against a good Sheffield side

PETERBOROUGH have turned to Jake Allen for a guest booking in Sunday’s showdown with champions Sheffield at the East of England Arena (5pm).
Allen made a hugely impressive appearance for regular club Scunthorpe on Friday, when he racked up 12+2, and has always scored well at Alwalton for the Scorpions and also Somerset.
The Australian comes in because Ulrich Ostergaard is ruled out following his Friday crash, with the T.Balfe Construction Panthers awaiting the full extent of the damage.
Other than that, however, the table-topping Panthers are at full strength as they go for a seventh successive win in all competitions to take another big step towards the play-offs.
Opponents Sheffield have not enjoyed the best of fortunes in their defence of the Championship title, and are yet to pick up an away point from five matches.
However, they rode strongly at Lakeside on Friday before going down to a 51-39 defeat, with captain Kyle Howarth making his comeback from a shoulder injury.

Former Panther Lasse Bjerre misses out after a crash at Owlerton last week, but Ty Proctor has been booked to guest and already has previous at Peterborough this season, having scored a paid maximum for Workington.
The Tigers also include exciting American newcomer Broc Nicol, whilst Redcar’s Jordan Stewart makes a guest appearance at reserve for the longtracking James Shanes.
Panthers boss Carl Johnson said: “It will be another tough meeting, we expect that every week here and that’s what we’re getting – it certainly keeps all the boys on their toes! 
“We want to see entertaining racing and hard-fought meetings, and Sheffield will be keen to prove a point even though they’re coming with a few injuries, and a couple of riders coming back. 
“Jake was very impressive on Friday night and we did a deal straight after the meeting for him to come back and guest for us. He was keen to do it, and we feel that’s better than using rider-replacement.”
Supporters are reminded that Sunday’s meeting is a single match – the planned double-header will now take place next month – and start-time is 5pm.

PETERBOROUGH: Scott Nicholls, Simon Lambert, Bradley Wilson-Dean, Michael Palm Toft, Jake Allen, Emil Grondal, Tom Bacon.
SHEFFIELD: Kyle Howarth, Todd Kurtz, Ty Proctor, Broc Nicol, Charles Wright, Georgie Wood, Jordan Stewart.

ENDS

I must admit it was close and waited for the official announcement before jotting down scores .                P.S      did you touch the tapes ?.
