Not trying to get a win thats what my team are going down for, im amazed at you giving up the ghost when theres another 15 heats to race, if you pull it off be interesting to read your posts after being so defeatist.

Lets see how entertaining the racing is at your place, talk about sour grapes and your not even out of this yet, Fricke, Masters, Douglas, and Becker will be far better round your place, no way Brady or Dan will be able to come roaring round the boards down there.

I always wondered why league 1 and 2 teams could take 20 - 30,000 fans to the Wembley play offs when their average home gate is between 3-4,000, 😁

I totally agree with you but there are people who view the league meetings as just qualifiers and just come out for the play offs, the business end of the season.

Thanks, lets hope for two good meetings, past form Belle Vue at Leicester and Leicester at Belle Vue wont count for anything as we saw at Sheffield but the Lions did well at BV in June so can certainly ride well here. Always enjoyed trips to Leicester and mixing with the fans there, should be two close meetings that could go either way.

I think Sheffield will comfortably go through tonight, they are well dialled in at home and i expect them to come out strongly from heat 1 and can see our lead rapidly diminishing. The Holders will be very hard to rein in and Pickering, Howarth, and Harris will be better than Monday, i think the Tigers reserves will outscore us too. We havent travelled well this season i think Dan will go well, Brady and Lidsey have struggled round Owlerton whilst Cook and Blodorn can be up or down. We really have to buck the trend in away form this year to have any chance.

The father wants to stop digging hes making himself look a right pratt, what a role model for his son...not.

I dont think 12 points will be enough, Pickering will have his bike sorted, Howarth will be better, and Harris i feel will finally come to the play off party as he normally does. BV need to pack the minor places and no lasts to have a chance but i think a comfortable Sheffield win, overall we have been terrible away this season.

I agree with you. Although Tigers can go well round our place and with the Holders and Pickerings current form could actually nick it if we start as slowly as we have in some meetings at home.

When Ipswich lost Doyley i thought the door had been opened for Sheffield but Ippo did really well up to losing Emil, now i think the door is wide open for Sheffield, i dont think we will do enough at Owlerton and Aces need to start quickly Monday instead of the traditional slow start.

I dont think any match fixing would be as blatant as this, but it is speedway.

As if Ipswich havent had enough bad luck losing the two best riders in the league they get Turnbull as referee, she was an absolute joke with her decisions, refs obviously make mistakes but her performance went beyond that tonight, it went into the category of corrupt, how can she makes so many bad calls in one meeting? She needs a ban imposing and investigating. Surely the authorities have to take action? Feel for Ipswich.

Play offs seem to be turning into a farce.

Terrible stuff so far

When did Eurosport start showing horror films?

I was going to go with 48-42 Witches win before the rearranged line ups, Brummies could stop the rot now but will stick with the Witches. Be interesting how many turn up for this given Brummies poor run and now a multitude of guests.

Expect Sheffield to win fairly comfortably at Owlerton, they could go well at our place too, expecting a tough match at home.

I only want the racecard so print them from the programme generator

Show me a major city without this scenario and other major cities have a bigger problem with these issues, if you check out Wales online you can read all about the homelessness, alcohol and drug abuse as being regular sights on St Mary Street in central Cardiff for example, maybe the GP should be moved from there?

Obviously you dont know what the city has to offer.

Manchester itself isnt a problem its got more museums, pubs, hotels, restauraunts, and a myriad of other things to do, as for the speedway side are,nt there other GP,s held in stadiums with similar capacities? having to put in a temporary stand on the third and fourth bend and the cost of recuperating that cost is a problem. As the council were adamant a condition of the stadium being built was to host world events could a perminent facility have been put in place on the third and fourth bends? Obviously its not required for league meetings but would have given the stadium that extra capacity without the hike in prices we saw for the SON. I always felt the stadium looks incomplete.

I felt the score didnt reflect the effort Kings Lynn put in, the last three heats flattered us a bit.

On his return visits this season hes proving it was the right decision to release him.

Im just catching up on the latest news and having watched the video clip have to say Emil was very lucky to come out of that incident as he did, he is an absolute class act on and off the bike and i wish him a speedy recovery and hope hes back for the play offs. Im not a Jack Holder fan but he certainly was not to blame for the incident, as for comments relating to the track and Holders behaviour after the event im not qualified to comment as i did not watch the meeting, the main thing in all this is Emil is ok and hopefully back in action asap.

You can pay more for a rock gig in the arena here than for this meeting, as you say pricing is not just a speedway issue, F1, Wimbledon, two examples.
