Lakeside V Peterbrough Play Off Semi Final 14-10-18


Recommended Posts

The projected result according to the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern-Jones method is Lakeside 65 - 24.11 Peterborough.

Unfortunately this is being disputed by those using the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern-Rathbone method which scores it 39-49*.

To be serious though, one idea that could be borrowed from cricket is not to re-stage uncompleted meetings but award a point to each team for a No Result. It would cut out all the squabbling over dates and rider availability and encourage completion of some questionably abandoned meetings to gain extra points.

 

* The D-L-S-R method reinstates Wilkinson in heat 9 as compensation for the floodlight failure.

Do we have to bring a torch to use for any floodlighting problems? So far both tracks involved have had a lighting failure and I have zero confidence for Wednesday to be any different. 

Would it be silly to suggest that, Lakeside could have Peterboroughs temporary lighting on hand, (at Lakesides expense, of course),,, even if it could/might hamper Peterborough ?

The good thing about this not wanted re run at which a very low turnout can be expected is that if Peterborough have the same line up it should be a great pay day for the Lakeside riders.......Oh i forgot the Panthers will have changed set ups and will be flying......

Yes it's a silly idea the temporary lights have no concern of Peterborough speedway , they belong to the showground management.

No chance.

Say hello to Steve Worrall & Jason Garrity.

Important factor in this meeting. Panthers riders will have the right set up from Heat 1. They will just carry over the bike changes from last night. 

Hope we book some decent guests for Wednesday. Will we get special dispensation to use Wells and Harris? 

 

Don't start me off on this again..
