On Tuesday night, only 6 Sheffield riders put in a shift - it could have been so much easier for them if Holder had bothered to turn up. Hey-ho. A new day tomorrow, life goes on. He turned up in heat 15 last night, thats all that matters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is going down with honour, like Wroclaw did in the Ekstraliga final, but British fans don't seem to want that. yes we could have gone down with honour with only four riders in each match, did Wroclaw only have four riders in their match? you seem to forget that Ipswich only beat Belle Vue because of guests Edited October 6, 2023 by The Third Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin bass Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Congrats to Sheffield, nice to see a fresh name on the throphy, end of the day Ipswich were always gonna struggle if the top 3 didn't score 30 between them as the other 4 riders haven't been good enough all season generally im afraid, end of the day it was a just pleasure to see Emil ride over here for a season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyderd Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well done Sheffield, on the night you were the better team and deserved the victory. How ironic is it that R Lambert at the season ending, helps a team win the league. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great supporter of British League speedway in recent years. As is Holder and Lambert. Not. Brilliant fight back by Tigers last night. Wonder where Lambert will go next September.

But it just feels wrong, getting a League winners medal, unless it's for your own team. Anyone who deserves it, it is Lewis Kerr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well done Sheffield, the rain didn't have that much of an effect and there was some decent racing Went expecting us to lose on aggregate, but the scene was set in heat one and all seven riders kept up the pressure until heat 15 when we got the points needed, second time in six months i have seen a Sheffield team in a record breaking come back in the play offs well done to the guests all rode as though they wanted to win when they could have just gone through the motions, would rather have had Tai and Tobi but that's speedway hopefully if we get to next years final we can win it before heat 15, my nerves cant stand any more last heat deciders like that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 You certainly wouldn't want an Ipswich team over the last 25 years taking your dog for a walk, that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, no one should really take it too seriously... How can you when Bomber played a major part in Ipswich reaching the final, then played a major part in their opponents beating Ipswich in that final... Bomber who rides for Peterborough... A last heat decider made for good TV, but given such nonsense is allowed to take place, it is best not to get too worked up about the result... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 If people are so incensed by late season signings then the transfer window needs changing. Its inevitable that injuries are going to occur and that teams will seek replacements fir those and riders out of form. Make the window close earlier apart from for injury. I'd also argue that just because riders don't choose to do full seasons here doesn't mean they don't care for UK speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not much (if any) mention of it but credit to Jason Edwards. He's not someone I'd associate with being suited to a track like Sheffiled but since coming in to the Rising Star slot has scored some crucial points and some nexpected points for Sheffield and his heat 2 win last night was crucial in terms of momentum. It seems by far the most level headed and gracious of the younger riders and deserves a medal. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 With regard to Tai’s comments. He sure is a great rider but one with an extremely limited range of vocabulary which probably explains his difficulty in communicating without expletives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
