Guest Scunny2012 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 After watching speedway for over 55 years i have to say this was the most boring meeting i have ever been to with most races won from the gate and the riders constantly 10 bike length's apart, only the diehard Sheffield supporter's could have found this long drawn out match interesting with the tractors probably having as much track time, Oh and did i mention the £2.50 for a programme that was a supplement 2 pages in an old postponed programme full of old news, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere, production and entertainment are in a completely different league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said that Scunthorpe's programme is good but for a £1 a basic race card to fill in is all you want but if that's all that's bothered you in my previous post probably say's it all about last night's meeting.

Islander15 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 And the sorry excuse of a programme at Scunny I suppose is great value NOT. Most people only buy the programme for the race card anyway, so I'm sure they'd rather pay £1 at Scunny for a couple of up to date pages, than £2.50 at Sheffield for old news and an insert. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Pretty awful meeting, very processional most of the time, good hunt down by Berge in heat 4 though, cant remember much more of note. I couldn't see where scunny where going to get the win even though it was close score-wise until heat11 and with some strange reserve changes this wasn't helped... why put Wilky in for Kerr when he touched the tapes knowing full well he had 2 RR & 1 Widman ride to take, again not changing reserves in ht 6 when it was obvious Wilko wasn't going to beat Howarth/Lawson & again for heat 12/14, it was pretty obvious that Wilky could beat Stoneman but Sissis would have a good chance... anyway to be honest Sheffield would have won anyway. Will be a long time again until I go to Sheffield again, how your fans can put up with "from the gate" for most of the races is beyond me, might as well be a 1 lap race, the track seriously needs some dirt put on it. Anyway good luck Sheffield in the play offs. Edited September 15, 2016 by Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, apart from Newcastle in the league cup it has been dire all season that's why I missed last night and have made any excuse I could not to go regularly this year.

Like you Lewis it will be a long time if ever I visit Sheffield again, the track is too slick and fast to produce close racing, it's a pity really as I have seen many a good meeting there from the Featherby/Wyer/Moran years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie21 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 The Banter from the Sheffield fans was worth the enterance fee, from the state of the track, the pies from the cafe not to mention the riders. One topic of discussion was the hissy fit Jason Garrity had in the pits at Ipswich with Josh Bates. The fans all were of the opinion that he had been sacked by Damien Bates for refusing to apologise to Josh and Eric for his threats and bad language and does not have any hand problems using this to use R.R. to the end of the seasion.. Does any one know if this true or is it just Track Banter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony The Tiger Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been going almost weekly for 38 years now and I have some very fond memories of racing at Owlerton. I can honestly say that not one race from this season has stuck in my memory. Last night was the icing on the cake...I will be seriously considering spending my £20 weekly on enjoying myself instead of being bored to tears every Thursday (or Wednesday) night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
