Now Harris the tiger appears to attempt to knock Ippo out of the final Brings the sport into disrepute in my opinion. Ippo may well have been better to declare Doyle unfit after aggravating his injury and booking Harris as a guest again, to block such ridiculous guest rider selection by Sheffield. The sheffield promoters" should be ashamed of themself. Still speedway is a sport run by amateurs. Oh by the way the Ippo leg has been delayed until TUESDAY due to a bad weather forecast ;-) ;-) . I think Harris might be unavailable (riding for Glasgow ? ) Or he might be available if Glasgow gets rained off !! (I hope not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for Chris Louis saying this “It would be wonderful to see Ipswich Town fans come and give us a look – give us a cheer for this one final meeting. The atmosphere at Portman Road in recent seasons has been phenomenal, I know, I’ve experienced it – and it’s been getting better and better at Foxhall as well.” Perhaps he realises it is a Mickey Mouse end to the season and directly clashing with Town is probably OK because he had not budgeted for this meeting so any income will do and to miss a few who will undoubtedly pick Town over a visit to Foxhole is not going to hurt the bank balance too much. With the change is it still on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to run this on Tuesday has gone down like a turd in a swimming pool on Twitter. Hopefully everybody will reconsider Edited October 1, 2023 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Sheffield threw some money at it him. Not sure they will have enough to temp him into riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Probably more to do with he TV people schedule than any astute tactical move by Loius, especially as mot Ippo speedway supporters seem to be no league football fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
