Sheffield v Peterborough Monday 3rd July


Recommended Posts

Unusual Monday night nine meeting for Sheffield (and no TV coverage).  Can only see a home win and by some margin, the home team will be wanting to put the last home meeting loss to Leicester to bed.  Holder and Musielak swap riding order with July averages in force, rest of the Sheffield line up as previous.  Peterborough swapping Worrall and Cook around at 2 and 4, with rest as previous.

I don’t think Sheffield will hit 60 but will be mid 50’s, I’ll go for 56-34

Can Tarasenko mix it with Holder and Musielak is the question the result a mere formality 

based on last week - Holder no - Musielak - quite possibly!

raning now - should be cleared by later

I’m sure many people will agree but I’ve seen meetings run in far worse conditions than that. It was wet but it wasn’t unraceable for me but I’m not out there on a bike risking my life. Only a 14 point defeat is a good result for us!!

You have to feel for the Sheffield fans, their promotion always seem to end a meeting after 10 heats whenever they get chance.

Picko came on the mic and confirmed it was the decision of the 14 riders not to continue. Don’t think the promoters have the power to call a meeting once it has started have they?

The right result for the Tigers tonight with the win and points in the bag. 

BUT

I couldn't make it tonight and with the match only lasting 10 heats I'm glad I couldn't now because if I had been there I would have felt pi$$ed of and ripped off as well. Sounds like there are a few unhappy fans there tonight after the announcement. The size of the crowd will be interesting next week especially as the match is live on tv.

What an absolute joke! Rushed through 2 races in rain to get 10 heats in. 
blue sky’s 15 min later… most of riders looked confused that they’d called it off… want my money back 

Typical speedway fan who has no thoughts for anyone but themselves!

Speedway bikes these days have to be raced flat-out.  

The sun was out on bend 2 and the back straight, we could obviously see these parts of the track were drying quickly.  The problem came from the 3rd/4th bends and home straight which had no sun on it.

Therefore the track will have been massively inconsistent,  not to mention the glare from the sun going down the back straight.

I agree with the decision to call it off.

Yes,and what I don't understand is if it was called off on safety grounds then why did the riders continue to ride in the wet,only to call it off when the rain had stopped and the sun was out...sorry but it was all about getting it to heat ten because the result stands.....hmmmmm now let me see.

I admit i wasn't there,  But How hot is the sun at 9pm to dry part of the track out in 15 mins?
