Peterborough Panthers 2022

Honestly don't care who owns the clubs and when they ride against each other I don't think about it.  

They got King's Lynn team wrong last year and stumbled across something that worked wonders at Panthers. 

Can they put two fresh teams out will be the question

Bit disrespectful I'd say. You can't really criticise them for picking a poor team then not give them credit for getting it right.

It's not far off tbf tho is it? Ostergaard was the key, and he was a busted flush in the Premier League not that long ago. Nobody expected him to come back to average 7+ in the EL, there's a lot of good fortune there.

They picked a team full of EoES experience and many of whom had an affinity with the Peterborough public, I don't imagine they expected to win the league but the side was assembled to be strong at home and being fortunate with injuries meant it snowballed. You need a bit of luck of course but if you pick seven riders and they romp to the title without changes that's good team building whichever way you slice it.

I have known Dale for quite a few years now and he is undoubtedly a Kings Lynn fan first and foremost, he is in a difficult position in helping to run both Lynn and Peterborough and gets a lot of stick because of it, but first and foremost he is a speedway fan and  although his loyalties lie with Lynn he does his best for both clubs

If that's the case he should have stayed in the back ground when Peterborough won the title & not prance around on live TV.

Outside looking in you have club officials celebrating with more than one club, if that's not bad enough these clubs are supposed to be arch local rivals. 

Then you have riders appearing for multiple clubs as guests during the season no wonder no one takes it as serious sport.

Well bearing in mind his position at Peterborough and the fact he put last years title winning team together, I think it fair he celebrated after playing a part in the clubs success.

I do see that it’s not nice to see other teams officials celebrating especially when you haven’t won anything of note for a quarter of a century.

If and its a big if i know Peterborough replaced the injured Ulrich Ostergaard now on his 5.40 added to the 2.95 the teams average is below 39 then they could bring in someone with an 8.35 average,  in time for the next BH meeting , but will it happen to get the fans back onside ?

Agree, he was entitled to celebrate and I didn't have an issue with it.

If there was true rivalry which there used to be most people definitely would have an issue with it the rivalry all but gone now which is sad that’s partly to do with same people running both clubs nothing better to gets bums on seats with rival promotions falling out and riders as well but that’s all gone - doesn’t sit well with me Lynn was bottom of the league and Allit celebrated a Panthers title win in his Panthers gear . 
He might be entitled but do  your celebrations behind the cameras .

Craig Cook is injured so maybe a replacement for him, that is if they were to bring in Lewis Kerr.

I did think that mate but elsewhere on the forum a Glasgow fan thinks he'll be back for their next match......

I obviously did dream the limit on changes then.

Good luck to Lewi, makes the cup final a bit spicier.

I think the get out is the phrase "other than for injury". Allen was injured when replaced by Sedgmen (change 2) so only changes 1 & 3 count.
