2ndbendbeerhut Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Looked fine to me... But what I know I've only been a fan for over 30years. Think mistakes were more due to pressure of the meeting maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Agree with this, greaves usually panics when riders go under him, he did it all last season at Sheffield, and again Thursday night when Kurtz went under him in heat six and he moved right out which caused Graj to hurt himself trying to avoid him. and greaves went no where near the fence he fell off in the middle of the straight with plenty of room to manoeuvre out of Scotts way. and about the booing, it started before heat 1 so it wasn't because of the greaves incident, it was a few Ipswich fans who didn't want him to accept a booking against them, how many fans would have turned down a pay day, or turn down the opportunity to ride in such a meeting I have to say you're spot on with all three points. He did lose it on Thursday in the middle of the third and fourth bends, causing Josh G to take evasive action (resulting in his injury woe!) He was about six feet away from the fence when he came down, after Nicholls passed him, somersaulting down the track together with his bike, in a straight line. The booing did start on the introduction of the teams, but got much worse after the first race incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 If greaves had fallen in the middle of the track then the fence would not of been touched, so maybe it was the ghost of Foxhall that banged the fence up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Dont know where you were but he fell in front of us, and the fence wasn't touched at all, during or after the fall Correct again! I thought that some blame for the incident had been put down to the state of the track, why else bring out the tractors to grade it after heat 1?

Baldyman Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Well you 2 must be blind, it popped a fence panel out, so I take it both of you with sight impairment didn't also see the track staff put the fence panel back in place???? Oh and it also happened in from of us in our higher position in the stand directly in line with where Scott fenced him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw one of those fence panels go down was when the Sheffield riders came over to the fans after heat 13, Todd Kurtz pushed it down as he tried to climb over it!

Gavan Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Jeez some people. Sheffield were the best side in the league Over the 2 legs they were clearly the best side in the final. They are deserving champions end of. Scott Nicholls will rightly be an Ipswich legend and will probably ride for us next year. A bit of pantomime booing does no harm I would love to see Scott back in Witches colours next year. But........................he fenced Greaves in heat one........to say any different is showing a bias towards Sheffield.......just admit he got away with it.

Read my post..the fence popped out not fell down. One end came out and it was lifted back in. You are right baldyman the fence was hit and there is a small hole in one panel where foot rest went through.bob track man. Thank you Bob.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 You couldve been blind and still have a good idea there had been an incident You could hear the thud as Scott hit Nathan and then Nathan scraped the fence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 No thats ones me Baldy. Dont plan to say anymore. Dont feel it serves any purpose to keep raking over it anymore. Sheffield won fair and square overall and thats what matters. Cant change the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Sheffield put our lot to shame over 2 legs, but I know what happened in front of me. And I'm pretty sure they will put our lot to shame even more in the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I look forward to the mastermind Sheffield edition As the Poole fan said Sheffield won it, move on to the cup You say that but did they!!..... We've seen how different spectators at the same event witnessing the same Nicholls/Greaves incident saw the facts totally differently..... Think you'll find if you apply "Duckworth-Lewis" or conversely if you apply "Stableford" you will probably get a different result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 I wasn't at the meeting but there's no way Nicholls fenced Greaves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
