Uluru 80 Posted August 10, 2018 If Lasse Bjerre has been replaced on the cut-off weekend, it means he won't be allowed to sign up elsewhere. This is the flaw in the cut-off system. Sedgy, Batchelor and Holder were stranded last season -- any rider dumped this weekend will be in the same situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted August 10, 2018 On the SGB web site, Sheffield are shown as unchanged for Redcar tonight, with Mark Riss, Ty Proctor and Coty Garcia guesting for the 3 Danes for Redcar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won’t matter anyway, he’s got nowt to lose as he’s been sacked anyway, and if Sheffield have not got a replacement lined up, then Lasse could drop them right in the preverbial !

Mooose 19 Posted August 10, 2018 I’ve had the misfortune to witness some dross in my time following the Tigers, but this feels a bit different. Back in the 90’s we just had poor teams and you kind of accepted that for what it was. This year we haven’t got a poor team by any stretch, but we seem to have suffered a collective loss of form and confidence right across the board, all at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like it - getting left at the starts 90% of the time, and then on the few occasions when we do make a start, we seem to be getting passed way too easily. I don’t have any answers or conspiracy theories to share, just a feeling of bewilderment. Maybe the management and riders can work it out over the final few weeks. Good job it’s a pathetically short season so hopefully we can start again next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Lunna commented on it saying he seen him get sacked and told to F*** Off also after being sacked. socking behaviour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve55 340 Posted August 10, 2018 The promotors at Sheffield Speedway does not include Paul Bates! You may ask how can he sack any of the riders at Sheffield as he is not one of the official promotors. Well he's the man who holds the purse strings at Sheffield and what he says happens, or so it seems. But what a way to carry on, not just sacking him in a public bar but telling him to "F*** Off" as well, how professional is that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Third Man 2,216 Posted August 10, 2018 so I would assume a NL guest for tonight, cant we just end the season now and pay the fine for not completing the fixtures, would be a lot less embarrassing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
