Sheffield 2017


Recommended Posts

The sport is crazy, on one hand there are R/R and guests, then guests getting injuried while guesting. Then on the other hand, riders with no teams not even being asked or able to guest...you couldn't make it up!

 

A lapsed supporter of several years, I made a 'comeback' last week, accompanied by a newbie. Had to explain (as best as I could remember) the rider replacement and guest rules. Oh, and why a team called Halifax is based at Scunthorpe. As you say, a crazy sport...

well.great news for us.josh bates guests for ipswich at newcastle and comes off in his second ride and has to withdraw from the meeting with a suspected hand injury.poor lad.now we will be without both joshes at edinburgh in the second leg of k.o cup obviously depending on the extent of joshes injury.if soothe way the monarchs are riding at the moment, our prospects don't seem too good.hope i am wrong as i had planned to go up for 2nd leg.

Josh is riding at Poole in the U21 Final, so maybe just resting any injury that he picked up, also at Sheffield on Thursday in the first leg, will need him..

Hi, has anyone heard anything about when the two postponed fixtures will be re-staged?. I know the Ipswich fixture could be difficult, due to them having a lot of Thursday fixtures, but it is now nearly a month since the Edinburgh match was off. Any info will be appreciated.

The Edinburgh match on June 1st which was originally scheduled as a league match is now the KOC meeting.

Thanks, was aware of that change, but still need to fit in an extra fixture against Edinburgh. Was just enquiring, as last year, when they swapped a match to Wednesday, only found out by co-incidence (almost as though they did not want anyone to know at first). Just thought there may be some information out there, I had not found out about. Could be another fixture to arrange if we beat Edinburgh by 5 or more next week.

Away to Ipswich on Wednesday July 12th.

That one doesnt show on the Witches fixture list (yet) but would seem logical.

That week is blank albeit showing the reserved space for the Thursday

Completely do we think or just Sheffield/Championship?

 

Sorry to hear it either way, the step between the leagues has just seemed a bit too far, but sure he would have made it given time - I imagine it must be morale sapping though to turn up for 3 rides and very few points. Hopefully he comes back bigger and better soon, at 16 he has plenty of time

It says "the sport," so presumably completely.
