READING co-boss Sam Ermolenko is ready for one of the biggest challenges of his glittering career as Bulldogs face Peterborough in the Elite League-play-offs on Monday.

Ermolenko, who recently announced his retirement as a rider, is desperate to see his new club win the title.

''I''ve done a lot in speedway, but this is one of the biggest challenges I''ve faced,'' said the 1993 world champion.

PETERBOROUGH manager Trevor Swales insists his side will adopt a positive approach to the play-off final first leg at Reading on Monday.

He said: ''We''ll be going there next Monday trying to win - we''re not interested in just trying to keep things close.

''We''ve already won there once this season, and hopefully we''ll find that the track will be to our liking when we get there.''
