Nl Play Off Final

Fantastic meeting and awesome racing! Seen 60 odd meetings this year and that was the best meeting I've seen.

Well done to Sheff/Scunny, they were brilliant and most of the points coming from the back.

First time I've seen Heeps and he was impressive and was a one man show for the Fen Tigers.

So 29 points is a huge lead but us Sheffield fans know that has been obtained before after a 30 point comeback against PL Champs Edinburgh last year. So is defo not over yet!

Looking forward to Sunday :)

No way can/should /would the Sheffield and Scunthorpe promotions shut down the National League team. What a great meeting, not just the winning but the racing and determination of all the youngsters involved. This is the breeding ground for the future Brits and must continue. Rob, David and Neil must see the sense and passion in the running of this league and long may Scunfield, Saints, Prowlers or what ever you want to call 'em continue. :cheers:

Totally agree, I've personally enjoyed Sheffield's involvement with the NL again this season. I'm sure Neil/Rob will hopefully try and work something out ;)

Big win for the Saints tonight against what was a one man effort for Mildenhall,if it wasnt for poor old Gary Irving braking a chain while lead home what looked like another 5-1 could have been alot worse

 

Got to feel for Gaz,smashed up two bikes and bust his collar bone again i hear,neither his fault

 

Some of the racing was top draw,Wrathall and Blackbird haveing some super races,Richie from the back a couple of times and a perfect plan in Heat 15 by the superb twins

Squall Noooooo!???? Noooooo!???? Surely you can't admit to even a slightest cheer? Are you embarrassingly 'band wagoning'?

 

For once (nearly) every one of BSPA, Speedway Star, Scunthorpe, Sheffield had SCUNTHORPE errrrrm ALONE as the listed participating team in the final.

 

Squall surely you not doing what most of the UK, and in particular Londoners do, as in cheering on a non-home town team (Manchester United). Let's be clear....Sheffield?????.....hate to tell you this but.....according to the record books and semi-final results Sheffield have NOTHING to do with this final and likely Trophy win.

 

Not sure if i mentioned this before but......oh! for an always referred to Scunthorpe/Sheffield team.

 

Without abuse answer me Squall counter me?

 

This year I've been to Leicester vs Redcar, Leicester vs Glasgow, The NL 4TT, Wolves vs Eastbourne, Kings Lynn vs Peterborough twice, Kings Lynn vs Coventry twice...you get my drift? I'm a SPEEDWAY fan. I will go to any track to watch any meeting. Tonights meeting was absolutely outstanding as both teams gave it their all and produced some fantastic SPEEDWAY.

 

Move along.

Awesome Meeting. Brilliant Racing as Already said.

 

IF YOU READ THIS MR GODFERY: Please dont do away with the Saints. They are Superb whether its the Highs of this season or like the last few seasons before its always very entertaining and the racing at this level is on par if not better then Premier League.

 

Completely agree :approve: and surely last night was a total vindication of the decision to run the Saints, given that the team was packed with home grown assets.

 

As to your latter point, you had better tell that to a few of the bigots in the EL/PL sections of this forum.

Completely unnecessary dig :angry:

 

Squall might be a Sheffield fan first and foremost but like many he clearly likes his speedway wherever it might take place, and there's no better track to take in other meetings than the EWR.

 

Give your subjective rubbish a rest.

Led by that turncoat Sunglasses Dave, no doubt. Bloody pothunters :o:D;)

 

It was good to see you there mate and even better to see a PL fan who is fully prepared to give the NL the credit it deserves. :approve:

 

You are in for a treat on Sunday, too. If anything, in my experience the track at West Row is even better.

Oh yeah Dave will be there haha, can't remember the last time he missed a Sheffield meeting PL or NL.

 

Good to see you too mate and a good travelling support from the Fen Tigers. Nice to see a decent crowd at Scunny as well as there have been some shockers there this season.

 

I was personally very disapointed when Sheffield decided to stop running a NL/CL team a few years back. A lot of good young riders came through the ranks in those teams and made the Sheffield PL team and the racing was always good if not better than PL. Sadly poor attendances ended that.

 

Think it will be a bit closer this time as Sheffield won 65-25 on my last visit to West Row in 2008. Always good racing from my visits there in the past. See you there mate!

Well weather permitting we'll be on the backstraight/3rd bend

Congratulations to Scunthorpe for doing a demolition job on Mildenhall. What a shame Mildenhall crumbled at the last hurdle because being 29 points down after the first leg is in my opinion unsurmountable. Never mind you have to be in it to win it and they were, so not all doom and gloom. Anyway I shall be at Mildenhall Sunday shouting the lads on and you never know - miracles can happen. Just a word about another superb performance from young 15 year old Cameron Heeps, what a superstar in the making he is - fantastic.

Heeps is good,dont get me wrong,the kid sure can ride a bike,but i fear Ipo will expect to much from him in the PL,a Darcy Ward he aint,was beaten by 3.5 av PL reserves last night 3 times and almost 4 as Birks would have passed him

 

He will for sure have an impact on PL racing over the next few years,but you will have to give the lad time

You're also a bit of a King's Lynn fan ;)

Superb meeting last night!

Great turn out from Mildenhall and they made plenty of noise even though things did not go their way.

Also good to see so many from Sheffield.

On the track - wow! Some of the most exciting racing you could ever wish to see - a great credit to and advert for the National League.

Good luck to The Saints for the second leg. If the meeting is half as good as yesterday's all fans will be in for a treat.

Don't worry Squall it was a light-hearted post. So i am indeed moving on. Fullest respect to each and every fan who travels to away meetings and any events away from their home track.

 

Completely unnecessary dig :angry:

Please lighten up it was, as mentioned above, a truly light hearted post. Agreed it's not always possible to make that clear. It was very heart-warming indeed to hear reports of more than a few Sheffield fans in attendance.
