I'm not disputing that most of the racing wasn't up to much. But as an occasion on the whole it was magnificent! I've just heard a few people recently saying it wasn't all that, imo it was one of the best events (Speedway or otherwise) that I've ever been to.

imagine that last night with 90000 fans

I understand your frustration but I think even with a poor guest you can win on aggregate, you did well enough last night with Kerr failing to beat an opponent. The rule is a sensible one and shouldn't be changed in between the two legs of the final. And yes it was wrong that Ellis and Morris rode for Lynn and Poole in the final of 2018 under 'special dislensation'.

I did question Kerr as although he rode well at Peterborough only scored 4 in his previous meeting at Belle Vue   so a management mistake in my opinion.

I’d go r/r for Ulrich then everyone can take a ride. Guest for Hans

Yes agree that is the best option , There are questions though that need answering. Did he get concussion, it has been inferred but not stated. If he didn't get concussion then Hans can ride if he feels able to and that would be a massive bonus to Peterborough.

I wouldn't disagree but you cant go moving the goalposts after the Play Offs have started.

Maybe they should have changed that rule at the start of the season knowing there were only going to be six teams in the league.

Could Peterborough find a loophole like Poole always did.The wording from the rules is no rider, whose team is in the play offs may appear as a guest in the play offs, in that league.

Wolves and Sheffield are no longer in the play offs.They should have said who's team qualified for the play offs.Old Fordy would get away with that one.

Probably an Allitt interference.

I don’t agree. Rightly or wrongly, the rule is clear. As Wolves, Sheffield, Belle Vue and Peterborough were the teams in the play offs, then none of their riders are allowed to guest for any other play off team. It would be absurd to allow guys like Morris, Schlein, Douglas, Howarth, Batchelor, Becker, Pickering etc to guest for Hans in the final.

I would go with latest form but I suppose he was insurance but in the end only had three rides mainly due to Palin's superstar performance which was astounding.

Latest form doesn't always give the full picture   example did you expect that score from Scott Nicholls
