Fans are not cheering at the fallen rider, they are cheering for the gain for their team as a result of the incident, like when a top opposition rider goes through the tapes. It’s happened at all tracks and has been happening for the 52 years I have been going to speedway. It does not mean anyone wants to see a rider hurt though. I feel a football hooligan style mentality has evolved due to the the win at all costs attitude from certain promotions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the clip provided on Eurosport, you could hear it even though Dave Rowe was commentating. I'm not daft, I understand the context and that it sealed a tight match with Ippo's big guns to come in heat 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Another Wolves home thread and again the discussion is about them cheering potentially injured riders. Why do speedway supporters single out Wolves fans when it happens everywhere - apparently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have had the pressure off with Doyle and Sayfutdinov leading the way, but failed to respond.

I wasn’t being disrespectful to Leon but king is a third heat leader with a nigh on 8 pt average. It was more a dig at king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see his average against Peterborough and lynn meeting’s versus belle vue Sheffield Leicester and wolves. he seems to score lots against the bottom two and struggles against the rest. It would be interesting to see if the figures confirm that. biggest problem this year is conceding heat advantages in heat 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 12 this year has certainly been an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't cheer last night as the vast majority didn't, however I would certainly cheer if you fell off your push bike, if that's possible with stabilizers on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abysmal. Him and the season long struggle with the Riss situation are the two reason’s we’re not in the play offs. Nothing to do with King whatsoever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
