This year with King out injured we won at your place & missing Doyle we lost by 2 in Yorkshire, beat you at home with Ellis & King missing. But hats off you have managed to beat us when it matters with half our side missing 😂 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Firstly Well Done to the patched up Ipswich team, on putting on good fight, the earlier part of the meeting they gave us a bit of squeaky bum time. It will be interesting to see if Emil comes back for the Play Offs and if he is then it gives them some hope in the Play Offs. But for us its another piece of silverware, and we have been pretty successful in the 4 seasons we join the Premiership. 2021 Play Off Semi Finalist (4th in the league) 2022 Play Off Finalist and KO Cup winners (1st in the league) 2023 Play Off winners and KO Cup runners up. (3rd in the league) 2024 KO Cup winners and Play Off Semi Finalist (1st in the league) Not bad record to have. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin bass Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Firstly congrats to Sheffield and well done to Ipswich for at least making a fight off it, just a shame a season that started so brightly ended up going down the pan coz of various injuries at the wrong time, i just hope for Ipswich and British speedways sake that Emil returns next year coz the guys been a credit to the sport and a breath of fresh air the last couple of seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted September 6 Author Report Share Posted September 6 People keep going on about putting too much into just two riders (Doyle and Emil). Ok so take these out of your teams: fricke / lawson j. Holder / pickering kurtz / bewley and we will see how many trophies you win this year Sheffield congratulations on winning and you can really only beat the team in front. You deserved it over two legs. Without sounding bitter I do wonder if even just having Emil in the team we would have run super close to winning both compitions. But that’s ifs or buts I guess and this is speedway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornier Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 It looked like the Tigers were going to lose it in the first half of the meeting but apparently Jack Holder asked the track guy to blade the track which he duly did and that was that.

But that’s ifs or buts I guess and this is speedway! Totally agreed, and I don't think anyone is disputing that losing your 1 and 5 is a massive blow to any team. However, it's interesting that you have named Pickering in that list as he has only really come into form in the last month or so and is on an average of about 7. It's almost as if people are forgetting that Sheffield have also ridden half the season without their number 5 who was injured only a month after Doyle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this actually sums up maybe the Ipswich issue - having either not been able to replace Doyle or deciding not too - they probably and reasonably felt they could get by with the team riding well and Emil covering the big heats - it was of course working until Emil got injured. The same could have happened to the Tigers, they have covered Tai pretty well with either R/R or guests - but if say Jack or Chris H had got injured (like Jack did last year) then who knows what might have happened, thankfully for Sheffield he hasnt! However Pickering has been sensational this last month or so - his performance at the NSS was really one to see!

4BM Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Meeting changed after the heat 6 gate swing where Sheffield got a run of the more favourable 1 & 3 that Ipswich had early doors. Ipswich defo put the pressure on, but the meeting sort of evened out after that. Following a stinker at Owlerton on Monday and bike failure in Ht1 I think Howarth had a massive night after that and that’s gone a bit unnoticed with focus being on points Pickering and Ch Holder scored 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanoXtra Posted September 6 Author Report Share Posted September 6 On a positive note. It was actually a decent meeting to go and watch, Ellis not making gates but had to make some good moves. Rew was flying and that’s a massive positive. The fans together jokingly counting down from 10-0 for the failure of a bike. It wasn’t actually a down beat atmosphere but quite good. I think everyone went knowing we lost but just went to support anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s made great strides this year and reading Hawkins’ positive comments regarding Rew and next season it looks like he’ll almost certainly be back which is great news 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing wrong with the track, the gating tart just wasn't making the starts and when he did it was against two far from fit riders in King & Ellis. He also needs to take a lesson from his brother on how to take a bit of banter😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
