OILYRAG Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Well see how much Sheffield wanted to go up through the winter , will they apply to join the Premier league ? Edited October 10, 2017 by OILYRAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I think the Ipswich lads have got dialled in now due to recent visits and non of them who rode last night are reserves.As spiny said one team was built to 40 points and the other 50 ? doesn't take much working out why we got hammered.Totally inbalanced but it is what it is another nail in the speedway coffin.Live on tv too.It cant help any negotiations with BT for further coverage.If the Sheffield lads had been gating then we might have got nearer to having a good meeting but apart fromLasses blasts it must have been poor viewing as was sundays meeting.What worries me is if we put the same standard performance in Thursday the witches could give us a pasting.Which after the cracking season weve had would take of the shine of the great performances the lads have put in over the last few months.

Tigerblade Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'm lost for words on some of these posts I have seen. To forget we won the league only a week or so ago, and the pairs victory on Sunday.. Some of the comments towards riders and club is embarrassing. So am I, we've had our best season in years, but the first time we fail badly, people are out to complain. Not to mention all the duff meetings that have been televised over the years, yet suddenly it's all down to Sheffield if BT pull the plug. Promotion/relegation has never worked, and I can't believe the promoters agreed to it at the last conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacksaw Jim Duggan Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Then how come King Heeps and Newman were beatable and beaten two weeks ago and looked in a different class last night ? They scored 19 between the three of them in 14 rides in the play off first leg. The only real thing to point at between the league play-off and last night is the score from Josh Bates. Bjerre scored more last night than he did against Sheffield, Sheffield were without their top 2 – and faced Newman and Heeps at reserve rather than 3 and 4. It seems pretty natural Leicester would score a lot more than Ipswich given Leicester are a lot better than Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Nicholls was embarrassing It's quite funny following him on Twitter, his posts seem to rotate between apology to fans for poor performance, time at BT studios and time off. Quite funny that is unless he's been riding for your team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wealdstone Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 This result firmly debunks the assertion that there is little difference between the two leagues. Sheffield and Nicholls were an embarrassment . Only Lasse Bjerre emerged with any credit whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Not sure whether Pawel will get a ban for missing last night as he was obliged to attend the PZM Gala last night so the he would not have had start permission to race even if he had wanted to. Not sure how it stands if a rider is missing a U.K. meeting due to his own national authority stopping him from riding especially as he joined mid season well after the date for PZM gala was announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcatdiary Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 To be fair they have won the league and the pairs and are still in the KOC, what on Earth have Sheffield supporters got to complain about. I can think of a lot of Championship clubs who would have liked a season they are currently having. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foamfence Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2442 To be honest, veiled threats aren't going to restore pride and respect, having said that, sending abusive Emails and PMs can be upsetting (I thought only Wolves fans did that). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonian Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2442 So these ridiculous theories and abusive comments have found there way onto social media and even into emails to Sheffield speedway! Unbelievable! To bring a statement out like that, they must of had some disgraceful comments/messages/emails... Lost for words! Can't imagine what the bates family are probably feeling right now, after the serious amount of graft, time and work they have put in to both clubs.. To keep Leicester speedway alive and to bring silverware back to Sheffield after 15 years. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Duppcomic Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Same old Trolls having a go at the Sheffield Promotion. The one that has won the league for the first time in 15 years. Keep going - you may actually get them to throw their teddies away and close it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thing is, the people who find it difficult to distinguish which is their right foot and which is their left. Come on social media and think they can say the first thought that enters their head. Doesn't matter if it is true/made up or offends other people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Spinny have you ever seen Josh Bates ride the white line ? Also how come the same Sheffield riders have beaten all bar one of tonights Leicester team numerous times in recent weeks but couldnt tonight ? Who knows, maybe the Leicester raised their game. Lets face it King raised his game in the Pairs the day before compared to the meetings he rode for Ipswich. In a season when we there have so many positives and things to celebrate I can forgive one performance even though as I have stated that the cards were heavily stack against us. And as for those who seem to think that the meeting was somehow rigged or fixed totally and utter cobblers, if they had rigged it they would have made so that the scoreline was close so get more interest in the second leg at Leicester, this will have cost Damien Bates an arm and leg because Sheffield fans are less likely to travel. And I ask you a question now, how come we only ever hear from you on here when there is a negative? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2442 Sick and shameful. These trolls should get back to doing what they do best, which is sponging off the State, thieving and licking the sewers. The Promotions were placed in an unenviable position by a decision that wasn't thought through properly at the BSPA AGM last November. I hope there is enough evidence that could lead to legal proceedings against the trolls. Don't let them win, because Sheffield have had their best season for a long time. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8gdp Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Top and bottom of it Sheffield we re always up against it missing josh g and howarth even with them both firing on all cylinders I reckon we would have still lost for anyone to suggest a fix rubbish The main difference was and is the reserve s poor g wood tried his best but was a lamb to the slaughter against heeps and Newman Jan grav gave it is best shot The Leicester lads we re quicker out of the starts and better end of Not too sure I want top league racing next year all in all we ve had some good racing this year at Sheffield in the second tier If we ve got to have promotion and relegation let the top team go up and bottom team come down the team going up will have to strengthen up to compete at the higher level the team coming down losing riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
