IainB Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 18 minutes ago, szkocjasid said: Just to be really pedantic, should Woffy get a 28 day ban for "witholding his services" Of course not, because he hadn't agreed to ride in this match (presumably the contract he signed starts from Monday). So my question is, why would Sheffield want to sign Woffy before Thursday & why would the BSPL allow the signing knowing he wasn't available, are neither worried about the "integrity" of the Sport? If we act like these are two separate promotions, it's out of order for Sheffield to turn up at Leicester without a full team (when it's totally avoidable) as it could harm their crowd, I almost feel like Sheffield should get a guest at the away match, but use the 75% guest at their next home match, so it only hinders their crowd? It stinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathcote Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 The way the press release reads it pretty much states that Sheffield had to redeclare their team Monday night....as in before the end of July? So does this mean the signing of Woffinden couldn't take place in August? Quote Sheffield team manager Simon Stead said: “With Jack getting injured at this time of the year, we had no choice but to declare Tai in our team on Monday night.

If it is on, Leicester will beat Sheffield. The Nick Morris thing hasn't helped, I agree. Bringing in Bachelor, in my opinion, was a bad move. One that was never going to have a favourable outcome in a million years. On Monday it seemed, for whatever reason, some riders who normally perform very well at BP ...........er didn't. It was a blip. Leicester have more or less made the payoffs. I'm sure normal service will be resumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense actually, his 28 facility ends just before transfer windows shuts so leaves Sheffield with options on last few days of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Sheffield and Woffinden avoiding an embarrassment by him missing this one and starting at the NSS instead. He struggles to ride the more technical tracks now and probably needs to arrange a practice day at Beaumont Park before tackling anything on the tighter side. Wouldn't look too good being beaten by Troy Batchelor and Kemp/Allen whereas Mountain probably will score more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure normal service will be resumed. I had you down as securing your playoff spot away at Peterborough - until the changes last night I would have felt a full strength Sheffield had a very good chance to win tonight’s meeting but now I do feel yes you will win it fairly comfortably. Monday was surprise but from that you have tough away matches to come so felt that whilst your spot was very likely until you get one more win it wasn’t impossible for Ipswich to catch you based on they have two matches v KL and one v Peterborough both from the Buster stable!!! Your performance at Owlerton was really impressive last month or whenever it was but what surprised me was just how bad the blip was on Monday - however you’ll be in the mix for sure for the playoffs now!
