Presumably worked it out that this Saturday was the one where most of the riders were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people on here keep accusing the Bates family of match fixing? there have been posts about this on various threads now and it is getting tedious as well as potentially illegal its no wonder they want to sell Leicester when this is all they get, if they decide just to pull out of Leicester and Sheffield at the end of the season due to all the comments they receive i wouldn't blame them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businessmen can take a little stick Most business people I know wont allow a few whiners on a forum to even detract from the mission of running a business, in fact they probably dont have the time to even read it - because you know running a business takes up a lot of your time - however the Sheffield side for saturday is 'rumoured' to not be very strong - but lets see shall we when the line ups are announced!

I think the inclusion of Ryan Douglas and Jason Edwards for Sheffield at Leicester shows that both clubs need to beat each other. They could have just gone for RR and used Ashton Boughen as he will already be there for the Cubs match 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that ceases to be enjoyable because of endless abuse on forums and elsewhere then don't be surprised if their enthusiasm diminishes and they walk away.

Arch Stanton Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Come on the majority of us were thinking exactly the same! Just a few were brave enough to say it on here. Easy now to say they were talking guff now Sheffield have won but prior to the meeting I’d guess most were a little suspicious of the outcome and yes, we were wrong. Can hardly blame people for thinking that way when you have a sport here where promotors are telling fibs about broken pit gates to get meetings postponed, Postponing meetings whilst working on a new signing, riders going conveniently missing when they were a match away from attaining a higher average (Jakobson)..(Lynn again who’d have thunk it!!), riders dropping behind team mates to reduce their averages, teams making changes that will be legal but ultimately be over the limit before their next meeting has even taken place, clubs getting their water hoses out to flood the track to get meetings postponed etc etc etc you can go on and on and on. It’s a complete circus ran by con men. You really can’t blame people for being suspicious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha got that a little wrong. Look at the sponsor of Sheffield and tell me he would allow Sheffield to not put in 100% effort and good for them for doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows there was no match fixing as some have hinted at. Leicester wanted to win but Sheffield just to good. and remember it was you that said that there was no way Sheffield would win the meeting?

I said that Sheffield wouldn't be 'allowed' to win... but a different Sheffield team won that meeting than the one chosen for the play offs. It could be said that Howarth did his best to help Leicester. Whereas Kerr did his best for himself by scoring 9+4.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
