It's a 2 legged final, whatever happens after the start of it is just the way things go, you can't start changing the rules to suit one or the other team, it's game on now. I'm hoping that Thursday will be just as close and good a meeting as last night, whoever wins will deserve the trophy because they won over 2 legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also said P'boro can still win whoever guests, they only scored 6 from Ulrich and Hans' rides last night so no reason why they couldn't cover again at home on Thursday if their scores were that low once more. Yes I also remember When POOLE signed Mescoviak ( not sure of spelling ) on a 4+ ave for a month got to an 8 and signed Greg Hancock for another win, unless I got that wrong as well Jimg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Wee Eck said: I don’t agree. Rightly or wrongly, the rule is clear. As Wolves, Sheffield, Belle Vue and Peterborough were the teams in the play offs, then none of their riders are allowed to guest for any other play off team. It would be absurd to allow guys like Morris, Schlein, Douglas, Howarth, Batchelor, Becker, Pickering etc to guest for Hans in the final. I get it could seem absurd but only slightly more absurd than allowing anyone from KL and Ipswich to ride... And no more absurd than letting all riders from all teams cover for each other all through the season to help the eventual four teams qualify... Something quite happily allowed.. You can't run something all season contriving septets togethe on a weekly basis then put restrictions on just because it is a final... By the very fact of the way it is ran all year, the winning of the competition is completely devalued anyway, and whoever wins will hardly raise a ripple of acknowledgement from any of the wider sporting public.. Therefore, let's just run it in keeping with all the "qualification matches" that led up to it, and try and ensure the 2nd Leg is as competitive and exciting as the 1st... And bring in whoever is allowed as per their average rather than their team.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Why is there a cut-off for signing riders? Riders don't stop getting injured after the cut-off. Panthers should be allowed to bring in Woffinden (7.03). Imagine how good it would be for speedway to see Woffinden in the final. It would be in the best interests of the sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you should have paid earlier then you could have seen last nights fantastic meeting. Eurosport is only 40 pounds for a year. That is what i paid but i think there is a monthly subscription for 6.99 which you can cancel anytime.

Not consistently anyway. I don’t think he’s what you’d be looking for from a Grand Final. You need someone who’s a bit more polished than he is right now.

Eagle77 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) It's a shame the season has to end this way... specially as the first leg was so good... But if Belle Vue win it will be said it was only because Peterbro were weakened by injury. And if the rules are bent to allow Peterbro a decent guest it will be said they cheated their way to victory. The only results that wouldn't be open to question is if Peterbro win it with their 5 fit(ish) riders, R/R, and a guest from Lynn or Ippo who isn't Lewis Kerr... and with Craig Cook seemingly not an option, there's not a hell of a lot to choose from... or if Peterbro are allowed a good guest but Belle Vue beat them anyway... I think it's unlikely but I hope one of those happen... just so it can't be claimed that the winners have done it by default.

Steve_R Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have not posted on here for years, what with my team going under many years ago. But just logged on to say what an absolutely fantastic meeting that was last night. Every heat was action packed, and i don't think that there was a processional one all night. I hope that the second leg is as good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the second leg is as good. It can't be as good , that is not possible at Peterborough and the semi final at Peterborough was not exciting. I hope the track is good and riders can attack it and use more than one line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably be on Freestream on Thursday. Wait until the day, click on the link below, then if its not shown on the Homepage, click on the "Motorsports" tab at the top and there should be a link. They usually don't display matches until the actual day. Its a typical streaming site with lots of pop ups, but I usually get it to work for Swedish and Polish speedway. http://1m.freestreams-live1.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
