LYON – HOME COMFORTS THE KEY

PETERBOROUGH boss Rob Lyon wants to see his side win their home meetings as a starting point for their play-off bid.

The bikes will return to the East of England Arena on Monday May 24 when Lyon’s men face Sheffield – and he is keen to emphasise to his riders the need for home track advantage.

He said: “In any successful and consistent side, winning home matches is the key starting point, and then you build on that.

“The away record two years ago wasn’t too bad, but it’s key that we get a consistent track surface at home that all the riders are comfortable with, and when they turn up we’ve got the same type of surface that they raced on the previous time.

“We want to see entertainment, but ultimately from my perspective the main issue is getting some consistency of wins at home.”
