The meeting wasn't over two legs, though, was it?

Second leg is at Newcastle on 29 April.

This is the Championship Shield, which is a mini league. T/S do not apply in KO Cup or 2 legged play offs

the criticism of lindgren is completely unfair ............ hes a 3rd heat leader not a no 1 ... and he has never pretended to be a no 1

hes riding out of position as is robbo

the team - despite being tryers - is an awful team

whilst our reserves on paper are the 2nd best in the league .............  1 to 5 as a unit are not good enough and will be ripped apart by any decent side - and lets be honest Sheffield are a potentially league winning side.......

we won 1 heat ............  and if another person says we have strength in depth ............  ffs ....wake up .....we are not Hull 2004

3 maximums scored by opposition ....... whilst we have this team in the 28 competitive matches we will have I reckon will have a record 36 maximums scored against us this season ............. and no rider will score a max for the diamonds

 

 

 

 

George English appeared rather chuffed afterwards, he was smiling which is a rarity itself

Haven’t double points gone now? And somebody said last night that you couldn’t use tac subs in this competition... don’t know how true that is, maybe they just couldn’t persuade anybody to have the extra ride

It's a league so Tac Subs are allowed. In this case I think Newcastle felt it was more important for everybody to get as much track time as possible since it was essentially Newcastle's practise, and a tac sub wouldn't have made much, if any, difference. if we'd only been 6 to 8 points down at, say, heat 11 then maybe a tac sub would have been used.

Correct. Especially when riders are rusty through no practice, the last thing that a rider or a team wants is to be denied the opportunity to get some practice in. The meeting was lost early.
