Mumsie Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Just out of interest, if Chris is insinuating that paying fans don't pay his wages at Sheffield, who does ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Nobody apart from Sheffield fans want Sheffield to win … every supporter wants Leicester or Belle Vue For me I can’t stand Jack or Tai both need taking down a peg or two Will also never forget the vile Sheffield fans at last years play off final .. I’ve been going since 1980 and never seen a set of fans verbally abuse and give v signs and the hand gesture to kids as young as 8…. Don’t say it didn’t happen it did …. On the plus side had a good chat with Sheffield fans at Ipswich after the cup final and Steady and Chris Holder …. Jack… well he had no time for anyone not even his own fans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes the behaviour of a minority of Sheffield fans that night was a disgrace …. Add in the fact that Jack Holder rides for your team and you can see why I don’t want Sheffield to win lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who, in her early 20s took her 4 year old daughter to watch Wolves away at Belle Vue. On their way out of the stadium they were verbally abused by a Belle Vue supporter. What sort of man would do that to a lone woman and child ? Reading these forums at the moment makes it sound like visiting Owlerton is the speedway equivalent of a trip to Millwall FC !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see Dave the mature thing to do there is to hold a grudge against a whole club based on the actions of few and cry about it whenever the opportunity arises. It shouldn't be a surprise though. The club is based in the rough area of Hillsborough, so you should expect some foul language and potentially you're a few missing tyres if you drive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I think Sheffield are favourites to go through, but at least Belle Vue have made the second leg interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I think if anyone had offered BV a 12 lead to take to Owlerton they'd have taken it. I went to the KO Cup Tigers v Aces meeting, Lemon cost BV that fixture not swapping Bailey for Mountain in heat 14. I'm certain in terms of aggregate score the meeting would have been decided before heat 15 took place. The Aces reserve pairing are not as strong now as then & the Tigers pair have improved. That said Kurtz had a poor night. The league meetings have all gone Sheffield's way. The gates will dictate the racing, gate 3 is usually awful at the start of the meeting so winning the toss is vital. If Woffinden was riding I wouldn't give Belle Vue any hope but I think it is well poised. One thing is certain Lidsey needs to turn up. Which doesn't occur too regularly away from NSS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 I personally want Belle Vue though to the final. Not because I think we can beat them it's more of that bend 2 army wanna be hooligans do everyone's nut in at Leicester. The rest of the Sheffield supporters I've spoke to and normal supporters and are super friendly. But that bunch have the same songs on repeat, sometimes do chants that make you cringe and they just look terrible in general. Especially that James fella, seems a right wind up merchant. Why can't they just be normal and stop antagonising everyone ? It's like Sheffield are the only club that exist to them. Either way whoever we get it's going to be a super close and tense final. Sheffield or Belle Vue, not fussed. Just don't want any annoying fans lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
