It was embarrassingly bad Thank you Paul for acknowledging that. Be nice to hear that from a member of the Sheffield management too congratulations to Sheffield. Best team over two legs and deserved their win. I went to support my team and whilst being bitterly disappointed I’m also immensely proud of my team. if we go back to our championship days we also lost to Sheffield in the final at foxhall but we allowed the travelling fans to go on the stock car track and the track staff even removed some sections of the speedway fence to allow the travelling supporters to join their team and celebrate. in return we get told by a 3x world champion to F##k off. Simply unacceptable. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cheese Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well done to Sheffield, felt as though they'd have to make a great start and that's what they got. Ipswich needed someone to back-up Emil and Doyle but nobody really managed to do that. It's a shame though that again you have the most important meeting of the season being rushed through in less than ideal conditions. Not sure what the forecast was but if that rain was expected then it would have made sense to postpone until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Lambert now has winners medals 2 years running from different clubs and years down the line when looking at statistics it will make him look good even though he only played a very small part in those clubs. The rules need sorting so that Lambert and others can't do the same again next year. Yes i agree with you, but some rail against a side bringing in a guest then support it when their own club does it. We possibly lost two titles when we were unable to bring in a replacement for Bjerre against Coventry, and the same going against Peterborough without Kurtz. A side cant bring in a guest from another play off team and with our watered down league replacing the likes of a Fricke or Jack Holder is difficult, hence the mercenaries coming in when their Polish season has ended. A side does need to be able to replace their top rider and as there is no squad system its difficult. I wonder if the injured riders also get a medal? If i was Lambert for example i would give my medal to the rider i was replacing, he cant really look back on last season and this with much pride as he played no part at all in the seasons of BV and Sheffield. If Holder and Musielak had been available i think it would have been worse for Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Kyle Howarth (and sort of Sheffield) on last night's medal (last man standing he needs to be named). Just a shame Lewis Kerr wasn't riding as well. Awww so bitter want a tissue baby? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt he would have or at least like to think that, in those days of no doubling up or down, riders were much more aligned to one team and one team alone, bar Swedish league etc. Cradley fans would have excepted it but if they had subsequently lost you know where the blame would have been directed and likewise I imagine Wolves would not have been happy to see their star rider help their arch rivals and you don’t get bigger than Wolves & Cradley.

Ovalman Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Excellent entertainment, in difficult conditions, a credit to this once great sport. Well done Sheffield, especially Steady, excellent manager, and all the changes they had to make, losing 3 top riders, a massive comeback win. Belle Vue the top team end season with nought. But 3rd. and 4th. placed teams contesting final. Well done Ipswich, cup winners, great watching Sayfutdinov and Doyley, top 2 riders in League.

SteveLyric2 Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 If Phil Morris is supposed to be sorting out Premiership Speedway then he should start with a behavioural code of practice for all riders - especially with media interviews - and a schedule of punishments if/when they overstep the mark!

I had high hopes when the appointment was made that there would be a positive step change in the right direction Unfortunately it seems that he has simply stepped in line and become complicit in perpetuating the sham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 In few no one will remember Tai. He is neither a legend nor a great advertisement for the sport. The real legends are still remembered by many who have since long forgotten about speedway. Ivan Mauger , Ole Olsen, Tony R. Mr Gollob, Barry Briggs, etc. to name but a few. Woffinden is yesterday’s chip paper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 Mr. Woffinden disgraced himself again ( not for the first time) Last time he attacked a supporter, now he verbally abuses Ipswich on network TV. A very poor advert for the sport, genrating the WRONG type of publicity. A "WILD card" nomination for the SGP series is appropriate. What with whingeing Lambert (R) on Tuesday and now the swearing Woffinden, our British sports "stars" really do need to be better educated when speaking to the media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no problem whatsoever with the result and I’ve congratulated Sheffield as deserved winners. But I’m not happy to be told to f##k off back to Ipswich. And I’m sure if you went to your local supermarket and had paid for your goods only to be told to F off you wouldn’t be impressed either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
