Some people move in different circles to the ones others do, you shouldn’t judge others by your standards.

I also said if. I personally don’t have a clue but I trust a man that does, and he’s posted not too long ago on this thread.

I will wait for Nikki's friend, or ex friend as he obviously let the cat out of the bag as to how long he is here for, to come back and tell me when Nikki told him

I don't see all the upbeat enthusiasm   Blue with this  Panthers  side, for me it is a side that is on a  downward slope.At home they will be hard to beat away from home cant see them getting that much at all.Ulrich at reserve for me he will be doing well to beat the likes of young Kemp/Rowe  hope i am wrong because the Panthers last year with so unlucky.Last year  there original side  was   disrupted and changed  but i don't see this side reaching the playoffs for me there is  not anough heat winners in it.

Ulrich Ostergaard will be ok at home especially against riders like Rowe ,Kemp,Ashley Morris and Todd Kurtz , their other reserve is Nicholls , they should have a very good reserve all through the season along with Hans and Harris at second string will be strong add in NKI who i think will be a very strong heatleader home and away.

I think that is a very minimalistic view point, but you are not alone on this forum with such a thought process.

People talk. No matter the proffesion or the level, that is human nature. 
 

The main point here is that Sheffield will surely be aware and if they have invested so much money, on the back of a sponsor, for a definitely maybe then that is risky business. 
 

Especially when you consider the lack of number ones and that Bjerre will likely go to Peterborough.

Have they anough top end strength though anough heat winners on paper Nicholls/Ostergaard  look ok but everyone thought that when they had Barker/L.Bjerre at reserve.I think those weaker riders at reserve you named will be harder to beat than you think it will be interesting but i will say the diehard Peterborough fans deserve a good team and i wish them luck.

I think the Panthers look in pretty good shape, all the way through the side.

If you have strength though out the team I don't think top end power is needed as much because the points will come from other areas and they do have Iversen who is a top rider.

Belle Vue odds on as well.

Like I said there is nothing between BV and Swindon as it currently stands and that’s reflected in the market.

Betting markets are often wrong, Swindon's top 4 are the strongest in the league, if the other 3 riders step up to the mark, then look no further than Swindon for top spot.

Belle Vue do look good from 1-6, J Etheridge hopefully will be a good number 7, PK needs to bring his former form with him,time will tell.

You can already sense the jealousy about our 1-7. Bookmakers have got everything wrong. Peterborough 4/1 is printing money. It's a bigger banker than Tiger Roll winning the Cross Country at Cheltenham next week.

SGB PANTHERSHIP BAY BAY!!

1. Peterborough

---------------------------------

The rest 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th.

Oh no......

Where have I heard this kind of tripe before.....

And you said pretty much the same last year and got absolutely Jack.

I think Belle Vue look top four but Swindon if they avoid injuries are better.

Apart from Lynn and Ipswich I think their is little between any of them.

For me dress it as much as you want  to get 49 points plus you need  top end strength.This  notion of  everybody chipping in  to  get a  result is in my view is  not workable you always need at least two riders to score double figures plus every meeting.

We will just have to see which works better , Swindon with weak reserves or Peterborough with a more rounded approach.

Why the bitterness?

Betting markets are often wrong, I was merely pointing out that the bookmakers share a similar viewpoint to me.

Its not a competition.

They are, but then I didn’t suggest they were.

As above, I was pointing out that the odds are in line with my own expectations

Both could be wrong.

They are on that we agree. Hans Andersen, Chris Harris on low averages because Hans had to deal with personal problems and Harris had to ride Foxhall every week. Iversen on the downward spiral no chance lol. He's still a GP rider competing with the best riders this sport has to offer. Scotty Nicholls at reserve will make mince meat out of riders like A. Morris, T. Kurtz, Rowe, Etheridge, Perks, Hartel and co. 

It’s akin to dads army.

It will be knocking on the door of the play offs of that I’m certain and Peterborough will have a much better season than last.

There are however, better teams in the division imo.

It's just like the old days for the Witches, starting every season as outsiders. Strangely in our time in the second division we were often favourites. So my question is,,, why can't we put a team together that looks like winners in top league, where some always look to have put a good team together.
