We’ll give them a run for their money when/if both sides run their normal 1-7. Allen ain’t getting the points Sedgmen did tonight and Barker fills his boots at reserve instead of Nicol who is proving a disaster as a regular guest. 

Don't wanna give them a run for their money,,, want to beat them,,, we may never have a better chance of winning with Doyle at 1,,,,,,been there done that with Bellego,,,,,

That will never happen at Ipswich tho as they will probably pull another fast one and turn up with a guest for Holder, as we should've done for Batchelor tonight. Good to see him laughing and joking in the pits when he is performing like that on track.

What a absolute shambles, the Sheffield promotion should hang their heads in shame.

A complete farce, another nail in the coffin.

That coffin is entirely made of nails by now.

Really enjoyed that tonight.. 

So much so, I am actually thinking of getting an inflatable air fence now..

Looks like loads of fun to be had putting it back together, and there was lots of handy tips tonight on how best to do it..

I will need 12 or so neighbours to come around, fold their arms, talk amongst themselves, and watch me repairing it to get the full value of my purchase obviously, but I am sure it will give me hours of fun..

The only disappointment tonight for me was the amount of racing that kept breaking out between the air fence repairs..

Maybe they should give the racing their own programme and leave us air fence followers the chance to watch our programmes without interruption?

Edit..

For those of you on here complaining about those doing the air fence repairs I would ask you just this...

Have you ever air fence repaired for our entertainment?

No?

Thought not...

Maybe you should try it and then see what risks these air fence repairer's take..

Cannot  understand why Sheffield do not start earlier knowing they have a curfew. Its not the first time paying customers have been denied 15 heats .

It was nothing to do with Sheffield's management, everyone was ready at 7.30pm. Riders were on track ready for parade but it could not start until TV introductions had taken place, even showing the starting teams at Wolverhampton. The TV were fully to blame, even with the delays the curfew would not have been reached if it was not on TV.

Didn’t see it as I was at Wolves, but those working on the air fence may be a bit inexperienced if they have limited time in the stadium. At Kings Lynn they would be ok as constantly putting up/taking down for bangers etc, how often is it done at Sheffield?

Imagine the points Allen would of got if sedgmen got double figures,especially against his old club, no luck for Allen in 22,

Well I pay my £6.99 per month for Disco+ and for that I get Eurosport's excellent coverage of British and World Superbikes, SGP (hit and miss I know) and this nonsense.

I think an air fence would make darts more interesting, BTW

May be Scunthorpe should start at 3pm then on a Friday, give the Paramedic . Medic and Ambulance chance to turn up, go away, come back  

Even longer to read the programme - oh what programme 

Get out of that glass house it might get hot! 

[Panthers99]

Is there houses around the track fot the curfew?Only been a few times but from memory it's surrounded by an industrial park and a main road?

I do agree that if it was not on TV the meeting would have finished, along with the debacle with the airfence.

But how many fans and promoters complain we do not get enough TV coverage or air time.

Look at the people advising and presenting the sport on its current platform, nothing inspiring or initiative!

Not one of the presenters has an ounce of charisma or any magnetism.

The whole show is presented pathetically and panders to people who think they know and understand speedway, let me tell you, if you do you should be in Government.

A total clear out and rebrand is required, the fate of Newcastle is looming large over SPEEDWAY in Britain, the end is nighe!!!!!!!!!

I think Ipswich need to signSedgeman quick. Chris Louis should be talking to him now. 

We have signed him before and he had a terrible attitude and constantly gave up when at the back. Unfortunately the promotion sacked him and had to reinstate him as they didn’t know the rules on team building. 
id imagine bridges were burnt on both sides understandably

Money talks. He also was happy to accept a guest booking for us a few weeks back at Belle Vue. Had a stinker mind you, but apologised for his performance on Twitter and thanked the Witches promotion for the opportunity so not sure there’s any ongoing issues there.

And yet both Kelvin and Scott thought Sedgmen would be brought into heat 8 for Mountain.

So the Sheffield track staff taking at least 45 minutes to fit one airbag into place has nothing to do with it? 

 

[Roger Jacobs]

Paying customers robbed of two races by the rule that allows the result to be declared.

The declaration also denies Ipswich the chance to score an away point, which might prove important. Karma maybe for the Stupid Heat farce

Nothing wrong with the sport that is darts

Well there seems to be a lot of bed wetting in Ipswich and a lot of finger pointing. Last nights meeting would have been better obviously without the delays BUT when Eurosport come to the stadium they dictate what happens. Last night the raffle girls couldn’t go on the centre green to make the draw and none of the corporate lot where aloud on either. The start of the meeting is always delayed because of ads and interviews etc. The next delay was heat 2 when broc Nicol stuffed mountain in the fence and got away with it. All the delays were explained by the centre green announcer but for all the armchair fans who weren’t there they wouldn’t know it was been held up by Eurosport. Then we had the Danny king incident which affected 3 panels not just the one he hit. Unfortunately one was the panel covering the gate and the vaulenteer track staff had problems with this repair. Probably if the Ipswich supporters who know all about air fences had turned up to support their team they could have advised on the repair. The meeting was then hurried along by Eurosport only for another Ipswich rider to hit the air fence and more time wasted. Sheffield have had a curfew for years and many people are aware of this because of local housing and a very strict council so we have to live with it. In between the delays I thought there was some decent racing and without the delays a lot of comments on here would have been a lot different. I think Ipswich probably deserved a point and might have achieved it in heat 15. So for all those who couldn’t be bothered to turn up but just enjoy moaning I would suggest pick up your remote and turn the speedway off and put love island on and watch a load of talentless people getting more money that riders risking their lives for your entertainment.
