Well Peterborough hasn’t been given any special dispensation so far so don’t expect that will change anytime soon.

Dispensation is only given to certain teams and as per usual Panthers isn’t one of them.

No chance, it would make a mockery of what went on  before. Have to say regarding the Panthers that that was a performance of great grit and determination. Must be galling for the Aces to see Nicholls ride like that.

The title is still anyone's though.if Kurtz rides and Andersen doesn't,  the dynamic changes quite a bit.

I did and have the video as well which proves there were only about three exciting races. I could never understand why some think it was a brilliant World Final. It was just the atmosphere that made it seem better than it actually was. Tonight's match sounds amazing though judging by all the comments and I am looking forward to watching it on Quest tomorrow. 

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.

I hope you get to see all of the coverage on Quest as I think this is the best match, with the best racing I have ever seen... More of the same at Leicester tonight please :lol:

2019 Peterborough 40 Belle Vue 50

2021 Peterborough 40 Belle Vue 50
2021 Peterborough 38 Belle Vue 52

Last 4 meetings at Peterborough, not sure why people think it's all over.

Nobody is saying it is all over but panthers are favourites. Previous results mean nothing on the night

So playing devils advocate why should Panthers be punished and weakened die to a lack of riders?

Rules are rules, although rules always seem to be bent

 

Belle vue a few years ago lost bjerre but we wasn't allowed a replacement. 

 

It's tough on Peterborough I know, but even with a guest for hans and rr for oystercard, you should have enough to get close to belle vue

We've the greatest respect we don't want to get 'close' every rider is in it to win it.  Just feels a massive shame through no fault of their own if they get the raw end of a dodgy ruling. 

As it goes I'd much prefer our own 1-7

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'.

What would be a “dodgy ruling”? Getting a special dispensation for a replacement for Hans? Has anyone in the team suggested that’s what the Panthers are trying to do or is all of this just fan speculation?
