Sheffield V Ipswich 1st Leg 28/0917


Recommended Posts

apparently now, should we defeat glasgow following the second leg of the play-offs,then the first leg of the play off final will be this coming thursday in place of the redcar fixture as the stadium would not be available the following week so what happens to the k.o.c fixture against ipswich as this fixture is still in the fixture list.anyone shed any light?

I think this thread is questioning the KOCup semi in the fixture lists of both teams for Thursday 5th October for Sheffields home leg when the reason for holding the first leg of the final (subject to progress) on Thursday 28th is that the stadium is unavailable the week after.

 

So is the cup date postponed?

Thought they may have swapped the cup dates around.

Would make sense.

The only thing I can think of to prevent this is if stock cars are running Saturday 7th.

Foxhall restrictions include (I think) having no more than 2 events in a 8 day period.

From the Sheffield web site:-

Josh Grajczonek is battered and bruised after a nasty spill in Scotland and is desperate to ride – but club chiefs will make an early check with him on the day.

 

Josh Bates was in a horror crash and early fears were of a neck injury – but after a trip to hospital it was confirmed nothing is broken and, like Grajczonek, he wants to ride.

 

Hopes are also high for Lasse Bjerre to race after his spill.

 

Co-promoter Damien Bates said: “It was a nightmare to be honest and it hardly felt like we’d won through to a Grand Final.

“Thankfully there is no serious damage but with time short ahead of the first leg at Owlerton we need riders who are 100% fit. We will know more in the morning.”

Think this could have more swings and roundabouts than a travelling fair!!

 

Sheffield still favourites although the 3 fallers at Glasgow perhaps puts some fitness doubt into the mix. How much is mind games to take the pressure off only they will know.

 

Would hope the Witches can stay within 14 which would be the max I would want to chase. Under 10 would be a fantastic result.

 

Good luck fellas - enjoy it

 

Up the Witches 👍

If the tigers get a 15 point lead, i would hope we could defend that at Ipswich But if all our guy's are fit i think we could finish the tie here at Sheffield. The weather is great. So the track should be spot on and we should have a good crowd in tonight. I am really looking forward to the meeting. So come on you Tigers.
