Well done Sheffield. As mentioned previously guests could decide the title. I had taken Newcastle to win but Lamberts absence tonight has possibly cost them play off semi place. If Glasgow keep their team injury free looks like their title.

Okay, I'll play the curmudgeon( of no one else will come out and say some things that need to be said about tonight's meeting, I will do it.

 

When Sheffield last visited Brough Park they stank the place out. Their team tonight bore no relation to that one and was not in any sense the Sheffield team.

 

If you ever wonder why this sport is on its knees, look no further than nights like tonight. For Roy to say that this was like one of the great nights of Speedway in the past beggars belief - this was an artificial meeting which produced an artificial result.

 

Right now my daughter is telling me that she doesn't want to come back because in Speedway, cheating is okay ( we are both season ticket holder is, as are my son and stepson). Perhaps some of the members of the "the riders are all heroes and can do no wrong" and "there is no alternative to guests" brigades would help me with convincing her to come with me next week.

 

Go on, I'm listening.

Really did not see this result coming, Newcastle were finishing the season very strongly and I thought they would go deep into the playoffs. Lambert's absence costs them in the League Cup and now in the Playoffs as well. Never an ideal situation when guests influence the outcome of Playoffs, in a good or bad way, but that's what we have.

Anyone know what sauce goes best on a hat... 'cos now I've got to EAT IT! This result is just breathtaking. The team that beat us by 34 points in the KOC and then held us to a draw at Owlerton in the return leg suddenly shows itself to be vulnerable just when it matters most. Unbelievable. Newcastle fans must be gutted.

I guess this means we now meet Glasgow in the semis. Who'd have thought it?

We still have Somerset to ride at least another once so that scenario is highly unlikely.
