Sheffield V Glasgow Play Off Semi Final


Recommended Posts

Then it becomes Sheffield Wednesday Glasgow Saturday. :neutral:

One of my favourite teams had a great time down there at a pre-season friendly, there fans are a great bunch as well.

From a Glasgow Tigers point of view, this is all becoming very silly.

 

As it now stands, we've got 5 matches to play in 6 days (and if Sheffield is postponed on Wednesday, it becomes 5 in 5 days !). Then, with any luck, another 2 in the next week........... if the weather holds.

 

All these matches are "important" except for the outstanding league fixture against Edinburgh (with perhaps 3 Edinburgh riders and 3/4 guests). And with any luck, we'll be in the play-off final before this meaningless league fixture is settled. Why not just cancel it and save the risk of injuries/exhaustion affecting our performance in matches we've worked all season to reach?

 

And will there be 14 speedway riders left in Britain who have not retired or gone home or been injured to fill the team and guest positions required for the remaining semis and finals ? This situation is making a mockery of the cup and play-off formats.

I think we will get this on Wednesday, the forecast is ok, cloudy but no rain fingers crossed. If Sheffield can get a 10 point lead to take up to Glasgow, and with the guest they have booked i think they can just get through. But it will be very close. It should be a good watch. Up the Tigers. Which ever one you support lol.

On another night we could have made it closer. Lunna snapped a chain on a Glasgow 5-1 to make it a 3-3. Ht8 Auty never made the 2 mins but wasnt excluded and ht11 Sissis did a circuit back to the pits for no reason when the 2 mins had expired when all 4 riders were sitting at the tapes, again no exclusion. Starting to wonder if MacGregor has been spoiling us.

 

Eight points should be good enough, job done for the GLA Tigers to keep it less than 10 and a decent night's entertainment in South Yorks.
