Lenny Lion Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Nothing on either teams website about this fixture which is surprising but also worrying that the rumours regarding the team line ups on both sides are true.

I don't know if the rumours are worrying or not, but it is unusual for such a late team declaration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams as you would expect. Batch at No.5 though? Paired with reserves in 3 races? Can’t see that, extremely weak pairing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSL84 Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Still no sign of team's on either website? Strange maybe teams maybe different to what fans are thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 So, can somebody explain to me why Sheffield are using a "No Facility" facility (Connor Mountain), so that is a facility to replace the injured Jack Holder if Woffinden's "arrangement" doesn't start until next week? Yet again it's the fans that get short changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Well Connor Mountain should surely beat Batch, that shouldnt be too tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they have to use a rider with a 25 per cent lower average, dont know why they didnt announce it until next week Edited August 2, 2023 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Why didn’t Sheffield announce Woffy on Friday and use a guest or rr tomorrow bad management Edited August 2, 2023 by Phil The Ace 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) If I had my tin foil hat on I may have thought Sheffield were throwing this one so Leicester get more exposure in the league and play offs as the club is up for sale... but I haven't... so I don't think that at all. Bad management it is then... from the joint GB manager too Edited August 2, 2023 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither tbh, like Phil suggests it just sounds like they've redeclared their team too early... or maybe I'll put my tin foil hat back on again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Putting Batch at No.5 is purely down to the weak (no disrespect to Mountain) opposite number for the opposition. I hope that the Leicester management will be using this as a benchmark for Troy, riding at the same number as a supposedly inferior opponent. Batch should be mindful that Mountain is without PL team and is also a Lions asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Bates v Bates, what a nightmare for the paying public. Let them eat cake they say, yes please you say. uk speedway gets entirely what it deserves if this forum is anything to go by. What a great shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
