Of course it has to do with the track, the tracks soaking wet, there’s a reason we have rains offs in speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got Sheffield 5-1's in Ht 12 and 14 to go yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyke Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 The fact that both meetings track conditions are farcical for varying reasons, is a damning indictment to British Speedway really 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Running in October usually means crap weather... Crap weather usually means crap tracks...

A team made up of guests, racing in ridiculous conditions all because of the TV wins a farce of a meeting after a whole seasons worth of racing! Will be called after this race if, sorry WHEN Sheffield go in front after a 5-1!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Danny was just trying everything to get a place back. He is a great guy and excellent team man. Would have him at Poole next year no problem.

Mr Blobby Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 It’s a grand final shouldn’t be getting rushed through like it is. Only British speedway this would happen. Meeting should be called a rode a different night. This isn’t speedway and if I was either club I would be embarrassed a little with this title as it will always be looked back on as a bit of a mess.

There are pros and cons with Play Offs but bad weather and guests are almost inevitable if you decide the league in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 14 minutes ago, Panthers99 said: Couldn't have Sheffield rode this on another day? Or are they limited to what night they ride on? Shocking way to finish the season Most unsatisfactory for a final of all matches to be ridden in these conditions! I looked at the forecast as soon as the rescheduled match on Tuesday finished and rain was always going to be on the cards. Why they postpone the Ipswich leg but not the Sheffield leg with a similar forecast is strange to say the least... And then when it is decided to stage the match there seems to be zero flexibility from Eurosport as regards starting time and ad breaks etc. It's on situations like this when I really question the value that Tv coverage adds to our sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
