Tigerite Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Going to be a very makeshift team for us up at Newcastle, with Josh and Dimitri in the final round of the World U21 Championship, Steady and Garrity probably still injured. So 3 guests and R/R. Newcastle will need a guest/R/R for Lambert as well. Edited September 21, 2016 by Tigerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can win the home tie by twenty points plus we'll have a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what was the point of qualifying and then arranging a meeting to clash with another, what a crazy sport this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 So what was the point of qualifying and then arranging a meeting to clash with another, what a crazy sport this is Agreed - does seem strange timing with so many riders missing. That said, we forced Peterborough into riding last year when they (allegedly) had riders missing so don't suppose we can complain that much!

KEITH M Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) ? So what was the point of qualifying and then arranging a meeting to clash with another, what a crazy sport this is Don't think Newcastle really wanted this date either but there are only 6 Sundays left of the season and Newcastle may need them all. Scunthorpe in league, Sheffield in play off, Rye House in K.O.Cup semi final, possible Cup final, possible play off semi final and possible play off final Edited September 22, 2016 by KEITH M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcb7 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Awful tonight, was always going to be. But to be fair, when you have two of the best riders in the league missing, its always going to be the case, speaking of which its about time we ( the supporters ) were kept in the picture regarding our missing riders.

The Third Man Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Well what an embarrasment that was, we rode like the away team, no will to win, even giving a rider who scored no points four rides. most of our riders rode like they know they will not be here next year, just lucky to be going on holiday next week otherwise I might have been tempted to go to the Newcastle match and what did sissis have to to to get an extra ride tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was an abysmal effort by the Tigers considering it was a semi final. As for Arthur not getting extra rides, for me the reserves have been put in the wrong heats through most of the season by our team management, particularly at home, so it's no surprise he didn't get extra rides when he clearly should have done.

psycho3a Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 The most important decision for next seaso is the team manager... We need someone who understands how it works... We always give it a mate rather than someone who can actually do the job... If we lose Jason Garrity over our shambles of a team management then thats me done with it.. Also the track is shocking... there hasnt been a pass in months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thbender Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 This was a typical end-of-season Sheffield performance. Some teams end the season with a bang and others with a roar, but Sheffield seasons in recent years have always fizzled out with a phut-phut-phut. What's the point of struggling all season to get into the play-offs and the later stages of cup competitions when we simply can't compete with the best. Last night was a disgrace and I'm predicting next week will be even worse: Newcastle will beat us at Owlerton and then give us another 60+ point humiliation at their place. Roll on Thursday nights in front of the telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on Thursday nights in front of the telly. Thursday nights in front of the TV starts now... My £30 for admission and petrol plus the hassle of going straight from work so being out the house at 7.30am till 10.30pm is a thing of the past... Newcastle will win both legs and im guessing next weeks attendance will reflect how people feel about how poor its got at sheffield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I must admit that I've not been every week this season but the meetings I have attended have probably been the worst in the 42 years that I have been going. The racing is terrible (never thought I'd say that about Owlerton), the atmosphere is non-existent and the value fr money has been poor - 15 heats and that's your lot. I can't remember a single Sheffield rider coming round on an extra lap after winning a race apart from Arthur late on, but the fans were so fed up by then I don't think that he even got a round of applause. Some of the racing I've seen on the TV, Poole and Belle Vue for instance, has been pretty good so there is no excuse for the track that is prepared which offers little chance for passing. Last night was as dull as the proverbial dish water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I do wonder if Sheffield's track has suffered more than most with the new silencers and the types of track / track set up they are safe to ride on. What we really need is a way of slowing people down as the slower the racing (generally speaking) the better it is around Owlerton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
