Sheffield Tigers vs Ipswich Witches (playoff final 2nd leg) 05/10/23


Recommended Posts

Congratulations to Sheffield. Unlike the commentators, I don't think it was at all surprising that Sheffield pulled this back, Ipswich have too many weak links on away tracks. The only surprise for me was that it was only 4 in the end, it looked like it was going to be more at heat 10.

It wasn't much of a watch, they seemed to be rushing with a bit too much haste to heat 10 at least so they would be guaranteed a result. 

I'm not an Ipswich fan, but there are still unnecessary digs at their track, and also at Jason Doyle. Can't people just enjoy their win?

Well done Sheffield, wanted it more, as for Ipswich how do you throw away 18 points lead? too many passengers, the title isn't tainted because of guests, what do you expect Sheffield to do, It's Speedway Injuries happen.....as for guests getting a medal, that's  farcical, I'd be giving mine to Tobi who was there for 99% of the season.

And Ellis and Kerr who were there for about 70% of it...

I’m sure they don’t keep them & riders like Tobi & Jack will get one.

Amazing when the TV cameras are in town the weather doesn’t cause an abandonment of the meeting . Too many meetings called off during the season too early and October used to be for Testimonial matches back in the day . As for the winners Sheffield well done on your victory tonight  well deserved really thought 18 pts was big enough for them to defend  . The one rider who is always worth the entrance money is Josh Pickering he is a class act on any track and pleased for Simon Stead aswell

There are a lot of bitter Ipswich fans on here tonight.Just suck it up and congratulate Sheffield it will probably make you feel a bit better.Sheffield were the better side over two legs obviously.People whining about Sheffield picking horses for courses etc,what were they meant to do when they lost there top riders towards the end of the season.I'm sure they would have preferred not to lose anyone,but that's speedway.As a neutral i would much rather see a competitive final like that than to see Sheffield having to use reserves.

Some Ipswich fans also blaming Hume for the defeat.Imo the way Ipswich were built as a team they wouldn't expect Doyle/Sayfutdinov to drop 8pts between them anywhere like they did tonight.Could that not be part to blame too.

Well done Sheffield, commiserations Ipswich.

That was a much better meeting than Tuesday on a much better track despite the rain. 

Naughty from Doyle in heat 13, I'm glad he was found wanting in the deciding race, have never been a fan. Was an absolute plank off track too in his younger days.

The guest situation is a long way short of ideal but you reap what you sow I'm afraid. 

Pleased for Jason Edwards and Josh Pickering who started the season as Stars, and of course Norfolk's finest :D
