Whatever to he ruling is, I'm sure in this situation if the Wolves riders told the ref the track was safe, it's unlikely to be abandoned early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there's the +5% at home rule, some riders could guest at home but not away! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 If Sheffield had two riders in mind they wanted for the final, the best option would be to "drop" their second choice tonight (as they are 99% through) and go with their 3rd best option, the use the second best pick for the final. That may be what they are doing with Lawson & Harris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning it in a Grand final makes it so much bigger, great crowds, great atmospheres, you can't beat it. Think we ll have to agree to disagree I am old school. Did not go to last year’s playoffs won t be going to this year’s if Sheffield make the final. Use to go every week but now just pick and choose my meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytsejam Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 This meeting will be about the biggest FARCE in the history of televised speedway!! Will only go to heat 10, wouldn't normally be racing in those condo and the result is a foregone conclusion before it even started! From the sublime (Monday) to the ridiculous (tonight) both extremes of this sport on show in just three days! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) Thought the ref had to wait until all riders have left the track before putting the 2 mins on for next heat? Who needs rules at Sheffield ..... Kelvin is more annoying tonight.... keeping going on about getting to heat 10 then calling the meeting.. no Kelv the meeting is 15 heats and if they riding the 1st 10 heats in those conditions they should continue and ride the remaining ones.

Ben91 Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 It was all but over after the first leg. While the weather could have been a leveller tonight it’s been quite the opposite. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one of clubs Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I need something clearing up. I don't keep up with the rules and regs like i used to. Why are Sheffield allowed a replacement for Jack when he is riding in the gp's and in poland etc but not UK. Am i missing something or have i got it wrong, and no i do not dislike Sheffield or any other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
