Well done to the Panthers. Well deserved...... Hope Buster and Dale give a thought for The Stars when picking a team for 2022

That must hurt saying that but i hope the Stars fans are given a team to be proud of in 2022 at least Lewis did his bit in assisting the Panthers during there hour of need ,i think he would of been riding tonight but for the rules.

Needed 9 The 7 Panthers , Cook and Kerr the East Anglian support riders

By the end of every season, whoever are the Champions need to make around a dozen medals or more to give to all who have guested and helped them to win the title... :D

Cook played his part. Big thanks to him same with Kerr 

He was doing well until that bike issue on the line after that he seemed to lose interest a bit ,think he departed as he has a long journey home and maybe needs some more repairs before his meeting for Glasgow tomorrow night

Unfortunately that is the regular comment every year post play off time...

A fantastic sport, sadly undermined and undersold by the very ones who underpin it with cash... 

If only there were more ready to underpin it with cash!  What tonight showed was that close meetings with racing that's not first from the gate will attract the fans. I can honestly say t of hat the meetings I have attended this season very few, if any, were like this. Speedway has the home advantage problem - if only more were like Belle Vue and to some extent the Showground.

I hope Lynn and Ipswich do better next season as well. There needs to be persistent competition throughout the season

I fear that we're going to have a riser shortage next season and that may create further problems - we've seen clubs struggle with rider demands this season. I do hope the powers that control the sport take a rational view. This final has shown us what a great sport speedway can be.

Everyone from the Management to the team and to the guests we've had along the way deserve a massive pat on the back.

Thank you everyone. 

We've had some banter on the forum this year and I hope members will realise I'm only joking half of the time rather than taking it serious. Roll on 2022.

Let’s hope all the tracks are back stronger next year

Think writing was on the wall once Kurtz wasn't riding, not his biggest fan but he can be blisteringly quick at the EoESg. Could Ace's not use a guest? Not sure on rules any more.

Gutted for Belle Vue fans & Bewley, hope it's not his last league meeting in the UK but suspect that is likely unless the Polish authorities change their rules. Brennan did Ok, the Ace's engine room misfired.

Happy for Panthers fans.

Didn't think track was great, didn't produce much racing wise until late. 

There's always one

It was OK but we were definitely spoilt by the racing on Monday. There was not enough on the outside for a consistent passing line and the inside line was strong throughout. However, the best riders made something of the track. Tatum thought at the beginning that the outside was going to develop later in the meeting so the track had been prepared for racing.

it's a shame there are so many supporters that only turn up for playoffs when they're needed all season

Get what you're saying but it's down to value for money. The only value comes at playoff time & then it's still only certain tracks that offer it at that point, in terms of producing quality racing. 

Peterborough & Belle Vue are the top draw tracks in the uk, cannot be doubted. 

I couldn't justify paying to watch this sport week in week out on titchy tracks, ftg tracks etc.

Understand that col mate but  unfortunately the top riders choose to race there so in my eyes racing against the top lads makes you sharper 

 

If Bewley was unbeatable every ride in British league, agreed, but he's not... admittedly the only points he dropped tonight (heat 1) were due Worrall's inability to team ride & a track loaded with grip on the inside early on. Winning races breeds confidence, he is getting that here, would he at the gating hellhole of Hallstavik?
