Some Sheffield fans don’t change, shouting abuse at Emil, yes it was a minority but why anyone would think about doing that while lying on the track. Get well soon Emil!! Ipswich deserved to win but King was poor which cost them. doesn't surprise me !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about wishing Emil the speediest of recoveries, terrible crash, hope you well soon. Infatuation with the Holders, and Tai for that matter, Sheffield as a whole stfu!! I have wished him all the best on other forums … he is a Foxhall legend and has been the best rider in the league for 2 seasons and has been behind other top riders coming back over including Tai Sorry to have rattled your cage but most posts on here from non Ipswich fans will tell you what people think of him ….. got beat fair and square and refused to shake hands then wants to go and have words after Emils crash … sorry the bloke is a tool……. And yes it doesn’t shock me that some of your fans were shouting at Emil after the crash …. I witnessed first hand how some ( not all ) Sheffield supporters can be and it’s not pleasant ….. so please forgive me that I would rather any club then Sheffield win the league And if I have to say it again to appease you all the best to our star man and a breath of fresh air to. British speedway hope he is back this season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 9 minutes ago, Gavan said: Don’t dare slag off the Sheffield fans … I saw first hand my friends 8 year old daughter subjected to vile abuse last seasons Not blaming Holder one bit for the crash …. But his reaction earlier in the meeting was childish and then to try and have a word with Emil after the crash is awful behaviour Praying that our season isn’t over I can’t believe some people trying to blame holder for the crash. I don’t like him one bit, even less hearing he tried to have a go at Emil but he defo wasn’t to blame. They have been the same for years and always used to abuse riders when I came with my team Newcastle. I was a neutral really today, although maybe just wanted slightly an Ipswich win but mainly cracking racing which we got. Shouting expletives and that Emil was suicidal when trying to win the match for his team was a disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTD26 Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 (edited) Hope Emil is okay. What a horrible nasty accident. Lack of track grading definitely the cause of this. The track curator down there needs to sort themselves out. As for Holder, personally I’ve never been a fan. Always been an arrogant little swine even back in the days of the premier league. Not at fault for that was just an unfortunate incident. If what someone has posted was true, and he went to give Emil a few choice words, then shame on him.

That is seriously bang out of order. Bit too big for there boots now a days. Maybe if there track curator actually prepared a safe race track, then it wouldn’t be a death trap. Hopefully Emil will be okay, but the next person to have an off like that may not be. Come on Phillip time for you to step in and sort it out. Nobody, apart from Sheffield fans it seems, wants to see anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British speedway hope he is back this season Fair play to you if you have posted best wishes to Emil on other forums. And Thank you finally for pointing out that some not all Sheffield fans can be unpleasant. I do feel sometimes that generalise to much. We have some fans I am not going to deny it, and never have done who cannot behave themselves , but generally most are fine, trouble is that people always remember the bad ones rather than the better ones. As for Emil once again lets hope the injuries have not finished his season, he has been and hopefully in the future an excellent addition to our league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair on the track guy ,as the Tigers are mere tenants at the stadium (and the least important ones) he only has a few hours on a Thursday afternoon (from 1.30 from memory ) to "prepare " it !

Now we have the debate would that have been so serious if they had the old style wire mesh fence that collected the riders rather than bounce them back onto the track ?? It's a dangerous track was narrow before the air fence even worse now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what’s the excuse for during the meeting? When the dirt has built up and the berm is ridiculously high and heavy. Not hard to go around with a blade to angle it back to the centre of the track and then have a grader or wonder wheel to spread it back out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stbender Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Really hope Emil is ok, best rider in the league for the last two years. Every time I’ve saw him at a stadium there’s always been something either bursting out the block and destroying his opponents or an overtake that few little would have been able to achieve let alone try it. Best wishes and hopefully we wake up tomorrow with a really positive update and fingers crossed minimal injuries. In regards to track safety you would start a whole new topic on that but certainly something that needs to be looked at during the winter months.

ShanoXtra Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Jack has always been like that. He didn’t have anything to do with the accident though. Emil was determined to beat him and crashed. Although Jack looks bitter whenever someone beats him… even his own team! I’m sure bomber beat him and Jack barely acknowledged him when going back to the pits! I was happy when Vaculik got third in the Grand Prix last year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 How have people turned this into a we hate Jack Holder instead of best wishes to Emil type of thread.. Typical Ipswich fans slagging the track off and riders, Foxhall is an absolute joke of a track as we’ve seen many times over the years the absolute cheek to slag Owlerton off is incredible. Jack and Emil threw bikes into that last bend after a fantastic race knowing the result was on the line and unfortunately Emil lost control of the bike, this is speedway and I have seen many crashes at different tracks in different countries. I wish him well and hope he is back on a bike asap. Great effort from the Witches team and deserved the win, our riders couldn’t get out the gate especially Picko and Chris. The reserves let’s be honest we’re pathetic apart from one race Dan Gilkes actually had a go. Edwards might as well of not bothered doesn’t attack the track what’s so ever, Jenkins had much less track experience round Owlerton and showed them both how to get round. They will cost us big time in the play offs and cup final. We desperately need Pickering to up his form and not sure how we go about replacing Tai 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Debbi Posted August 9 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 9 Emil has put this on instagram, one very lucky guy! emil.racing.speedway89 Hey everyone!!!!!

Have great night all of you. Emil 1 hour ago emil.racing.speedway89 Great News! It could have been so much worse... As for the track? Only saw the incident on TV, but it was clear that the outside resembled a "ploughed field", so surely something should have been done about it? Seen the same thing happen quite a few times at Sheffield, which makes an already narrow track become even narrower as the vast majority of riders wouldn't use that outside line.. You would think that the referee could quite clearly see the massive difference in "slick" to "heavy" from their vantage point wouldn't you and seek some corrective measures... I would be amazed if heat one would be allowed to start with the track in that condition so why is any other heat different? Best Wishes to Emil, a true entertainer, and a great ambassador for the sport... Edited August 9 by mikebv 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Good to hear Emil has got out of that relatively unscathed, really horrific accident. When you have a flat out track like Sheffield with a dirt line literally less than a bike length from the fence, there is no room for error or no time to correct the bike, Chris Holder was in the same position earlier on in the meeting. Heat 15 was a classic up until the crash, main thing is Emil and Bomber appear to be okay, which above all else is all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy cookie returns? Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Emil is a lucky guy thankfully nothing serious hopefully we’ll seem him back before long the guy is already an Ipswich legend. As for the track the dirt line build up on the outside is an issue didn’t Danny have a similar crash there last season although that time he was sucked into the air fence.

But last night the track staff made no attempt to blade the dirt back off of the high line …. Chris Holder backed off because he was stuck out there … Emil didn’t as he was trying to win the meeting …. Some on here have said the track is dangerous but I don’t agree with that but last night they should have done more to make the track safer that was obvious from an early stage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
