Baldyman Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Does it have to be the top 2 riders in team averages unless injuries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Jones Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Does it have to be the top 2 riders in team averages unless injuries? Supplementary regs state, helpfully; "Qualification As determined by the BSPA" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I take it there are no meeting reserves as its very difficult to take a Championship Pairs meeting seriously when poor Danny King has to ride on his own for Ipswich. I`m not expecting that each team should have a reserve rider but you`d think there would be a couple of NL juniors who`d take a couple of reserve positions.

Baldyman Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 And another home team victory. Same old same old 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanner47 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Not surprised with a home victory. Poor crowd by all accounts, not surprised as the locals have got a joke meeting to attend tomorrow. But if they held it on a neutral track the crowd would be even lower. No one cares about these meetings anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Josh Auty needs a ban for trying to punch Bjerre off his bike. Should've stuck to his retirement the baby. Come across some joke speedway fans throughout the years of being a supporter, but the 5/6 Workington fans on the 3rd/4th bend who were booing the Sheffield pair and calling Kyle Howarth a disgrace after getting to his feet after Charles Wright had took him out from behind are an absolute disgrace. Complete bitter, brain dead group of invalids. Edited October 8, 2017 by Walton 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) First half of the meeting was a bit boring, but got better as the meeting went on with arguably the last 2 races being the best. Firstly hope Wright is ok, was a very nasty crash and think we were lucky that either of them walked away from it. Secondly congratulations to Sheffield, we came through the hardest group (arguably) and turned on the style when we needed to! Thirdly, hope Auty didn't hurt his fist too much trying to punch Lasse 🤛👎 Edited October 8, 2017 by Cue Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete bitter, brain dead group of invalids. howarth and wright came together due to ben barker slowing it down,if ben had got his head down and gone on,they might have took the title cos wrighty might have got the better of lasse,but what a tremendous race that was by all four riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Not surprised with a home victory. Poor crowd by all accounts, not surprised as the locals have got a joke meeting to attend tomorrow. But if they held it on a neutral track the crowd would be even lower. No one cares about these meetings anymore. It wasnt a home victory until Wright made a mistake on bend four ;lap 3 Howarth then passed him and locked him on the inside for Bjerre to fly around both of them. The Sheffield pair then kept Wright at the back and Wright fell trying to split them on the third / fourth bend. So it wasnt the track that gave the Sheffield the win, it was a mistake by Wright and some great riding from Howarth Hope Wright is OK 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Well done Sheffield. I thought Summers got 3rd by half a bike in the semi-final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 I thought Summers got 3rd by half a bike in the semi-final. That's consistent with reports of Lawson//Summers celebrating as if they'd got through, only to be denied by the ref's decision giving it to Barker third and Summers fourth. Who was the referee? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasnt the track that gave the Sheffield the win, it was a mistake by Wright and some great riding from Howarth Hope Wright is OK I think you perfectly summed up the meeting, this was not a walk in the park for Sheffield, and we had to work very hard for the wiin. And don't forget we are the only team in the league to have an unblemished home record this season. The Redcar pairing overall over the meeting were the best and most consistent pairing for the majority of the meeting. That's consistent with reports of Lawson//Summers celebrating as if they'd got through, only to be denied by the ref's decision giving it to Barker third and Summers fourth. Who was the referee? Stuart Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Shocking refereeing display. What should have been a Scunthorpe / Glasgow final turned into a Sheffield / Redcar one. Referee bottled excluding a Sheffield rider in both the semi-final and final. Hope Charles Wright is OK. All the best Rob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the referee? I stand more or less on the start line and was surprised when Glasgow started celebrating - I didn't think it was that close. It was obviously close, but didn't think the result was in doubt Edited October 8, 2017 by Cue Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd would have been great at Somerset, it always is on that night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Rob You normally talk a lot of sense... but on this occasion I would have to disagree. Bjerre was in front of Josh and turned when he got to the corner, don't know what else he could have done. Summers finished 4th, which meant Redcar got a 6-3 and deservedly reached the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
