Roger Jacobs Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 How did they manage to ride 3 heats in poor conditions to get as far as Heat 10, and then decide it couldn't go on ... that's almost as suspicious as Bates Leicester getting a vital win at Bates Sheffield last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The win was never in doubt by heat 10. It's money. For both clubs.. Edited July 3, 2023 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) The clubs know nearly all the fans that were mugged off tonight,, will be standing outside waiting to get in another time,, with another chance of being mugged off some more. Fans are treated like schitt,, cos they let themselves be. Edited July 3, 2023 by Baldyman 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I say this every day, but why does Hans need to retire? If the club wants to strengthen up they can do that without him retiring!

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. But if the track was so dangerous, why did they race heat 10? If it was truly unsafe, could have called it off earlier! Going to 10 heats & then stopping doesn't seem like rider safety was the only thing going through promoters / riders / referees mind? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield promotion better come up with something for next Monday or nobody will show up Kings Lynn are not much better. If people won't show up for Sayfutdinov then they're not Speedway fans. But as it is televised you won't be getting many travelling fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Only yesterday I started a thread about the survival of the Premiership and some ideas going forward with a good discussion that has followed…. And then British Speedway serves up the next scandal a few hours later. Shocking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4BenMoran Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 If Eurosport had of been covering the meeting last night the other 5 heats would have taken place. Peterborough would have been well pleased it got to heat 10 with the last 3 heats been FTG as they are still in with chance of bonus point whereas if rain had stayed away Sheffield would have increased that lead by a fair chunk. Having spoke to one of the riders last night can say it wasn’t a 50/50 split between ride and not ride, the ones who didn’t though whinged a but more. If it’s not flat, slick and dry some just don’t want to know as that’s what they are used to when riding in Polish leagues You could see the rain clouds coming in, track prep to bring what shale was on the track down low to stop it being an ice rink when it did rain would have helped rather than just going round grading the high line after heat 4 which added nothing, same old same old track prep at Sheffield these days, someone new doing the track might help the spectacle at Owlerton as racing not been great for a few years plus the uneven gates that are getting worse look like they’ll never be rectified whilst Graham goes through the motions. A tough one for the Sheffield promotion now as it wasn’t their decision to call the meeting off but if fans don’t get value for their admission fee then seeing only 66% of what they paid for with next week being in Eurosport some will vote with their feet and stay at home watching it in the box having already paid for that service (even if it is Emil again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
