It's just three days to go now and the anticipation is building for the second leg of the League Cup Final at Armadale on Friday.

Peterborough have confirmed that they will not be arriving in West Lothian just to make up the numbers as they have booked two useful guests in Richard Lawson and Kevin Doolan to join their own riders. Panthers skipper Ulrich Ostergaard has certainly shown his liking of the track in the past and confirmed in interview during the Scottish Open that Armadale is one of his favourite tracks.

Advance tickets, even at this early stage, are selling well and everyone who had a ticket for last Friday's rain off can top up their payment online to make the ticket valid for this week. With the earlier start time of 7.00pm, the stadium gates will open fifteen minutes earlier at 6.15pm.

And even before we get onto the League Cup Final we have the small matter of trying to build a big first leg lead in the KO Cup Semi Final against Newcastle.

Looks like being a great night at Armadale.
