The sun combined with the breeze was drying those parts of the track

Typical speedway fan who has no thoughts for anyone but themselves! Speedway bikes these days have to be raced flat-out. The sun was out on bend 2 and the back straight, we could obviously see these parts of the track were drying quickly. The problem came from the 3rd/4th bends and home straight which had no sun on it. Therefore the track will have been massively inconsistent, not to mention the glare from the sun going down the back straight. I agree with the decision to call it off.

About 2 miles from the track and started raining about 30 minutes ago......

Good result for Sheffield...look what happens when Batchelor can be bothered! One question though....Why do Sheffield keep using James Wright? He is doing worse now than before he was dropped! Surely someone like Josh MacDonald would be a better shout for the play-offs?

I would have thought club asset Josh MacDonald or even Paco Castagna would have been a better option, should averages allow?

Why oh why do Sheffield keep using Bickley? He offers diddly squat in terms of points outlay! Can Sheffield not re-call James Wright?

Honestly think we'll do better with a 6 man team and r/r

The question is..... How can you promote something which is, quite honestly drab at best right now? Promoters from week to week don't know who will be riding. It's time to get back to basics...upright, reliable bikes, local riders if possible who are willing to give up an hour or so of their day to take their bike to local schools and give a talk about this wonderful sport. It's not hard to promote this sport, it was done quite well in the 80's/90's but the powers that be seem to just expect us to turn up week after week to watch what is essentially 15 minutes of "entertainment".

No Ellis tonight....Chris Harris guesting for the Tigers

I can't understand how Sheffield keep using Bickley? He will never trouble the scorers and was one of the most over-hyped 15 year olds in history! Surely Drew Kemp with his track knowledge would've been a better shout or Leon Flint? Can only see an away win tonight....
