Average for the 4 meetings 2:46. Etheridge last meeting for Sheffield was paid 8, Vissing last meeting for Sheffield was 2, so a massive plus having Etheridge.

You can’t judge a rider on one meeting that’s why we have averages 🫠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason why they were labelled “pick and mix Tigers”. Sacking Brits just before the cut off and then strategically hand picking guests for certain tracks. All very snidey and unsavoury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I do find it amusing when fans berate riders who miss UK meetings but keep riding abroad.. "Taking the pee out of UK speedway and its fans" "No wonder Speedway over here isnt taken seriously" are often the refrains... I think they need to look a bit closer to "home" to see the real reasons why the sport is where it is... Another often used quote is.. "The promoters don't help themselves from time to time by their decisions".. I disagree.. They 100% help themselves by their decisions... It is the overall sport itself they often don't help by them... Edited August 31 by mikebv 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 14 minutes ago, Fozzie4388 said: No because Harris, Masters and Nicholls have all rode for Ipswich in previous rounds so none of them will be able to ride either Monday or Thursday for the Witches I thought that rule was only if they'd guested for a different team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
