P.l.p.final Sheffield V Somerset


Recommended Posts

Good entertaining match last night,

 

Wells very disappointing to say the least whilst the old stager Stuart Robson rode as if he wants a job in the Sheffield team for 2017 !!!!.

Combined they did pretty much as I expected, although in reverse if you see what I mean. Wells would never be my ideal choice at Owlerton (away meetings are a different matter, especially smaller tracks), but obviously permutations are a bit thin on the ground in the play offs. On last night's showing, Stuart Robson would be more than welcome!

Rebels fans been told to take our flags down. Ridiculous

in the wake of the HILLSBOROUGH disaster all sheffield sporting facilities abide by the law 100%, we are not allowed flags in hillsborough for the football either (unless you can provide,in advance, a fire certificate!).

Wasn't that as that as I was still allowed to have the wyvern flag up.

To my recollection the Somerset fans had their 'Rebel' flag raised on the first bend, throughout the entire meeting in September. Perhaps no one complained on that occasion.

Can see why they might be banned at a football stadium if they interfere with somebody else seeing the game, but not where they had it last time on the first bend away from the terraces! Is that where it was last night?

Was that your racially offensive ones?

We're not in America, we use them because of the name, the rebel flag, not the meaning. We've used it as our emblem for 16 years. Just because in America it means something shouldn't over here and shouldn't mean that we can't show our support for our team.

Well done to the tigers last night but as I expected not enough heat winners.If we had the 3 missing lads I feel we would have had a lead to defend but it is what it is.Weve exceeded all expectations to get to the final.fear the worse tonight just hope we don't fold.A big thank you to Robbo last night he was awesome.

In other words, if this flag was associated with a black group who killed white children in church, you'd still use it?

why dont all the fans go to home/away meeting in black clothes, not cheer when their team wins and not buy any thing from the track shops . the promoters will soon want the flags flying and the fans cheering . it will be in line with some of the dire music that some tracks play over the pa .
