speedwaysliders 176 Posted June 28, 2022 Whatever the rights and wrongs of the issues last night, one thing seems to have been completely overlooked RIDER SAFETY. ofcourse rider safety is the number 1 thing,but after 20 minutes messing around they finally stat using gaffer tape to repair the top of the fence,that IS NOT WHAT I CALL RIDER SAFETY!

Bash 496 Posted June 28, 2022 1 hour ago, Charlieboy said: Exactly. But the facts are not considered by Ipswich fans you can’t educate these carrot crunching numpties in Ipswich. We’ve done the double over them already this season and in the first meeting they were sniping cus jack holder was injured and missed riding at one of his non favourite tracks because of an injury in the GP 2 days before. This was Live on tv which they will have watched cus they are only armchair fans. Then last night blamed the air fence and time wasting for the defeat !!!! They need to grow up accept defeat Move on I think you are the one who needs to be educated if all you can resort to is name calling. Bit like your manager blaming defeat in the pairs at Ipswich on having the wrong helmet colours on which upset the riders, not his riders choosing the wrong gate positions. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the curfew coming up, why wasn't the ref putting the 2 mins on as soon as riders entered the pits? Surely a bit of urgency was required? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog 413 Posted June 28, 2022 Whilst the sequence of events last night was unfortunate and unprecedented, there never seems to be a meeting or week goes by where something shambolic happens and this is why fans walk away or vent their frustration on here. Nobody seems to learn from each others mistakes and it's getting to the point of no return. And this is the sport overall and not just aimed at Sheffield!! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you read what our promotor has explained you should understand the problem that occurred last night. Total one off But if you have your own agenda that’s fine by me. I’d rather believe the truth than the bile that some Ipswich fans have put on the forum. Who weren’t even at the meeting but know what happened and how quickly it should have been fixed If you believe them then you must be quite gullible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew last night after the meeting what the problem had been so to read the crap about track staff wasting time made me laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need to grow up accept defeat Move on We can accept defeat, however there was a real chance of getting an away point. It's odds on Doyle would have won heat 14 & 15. Given the up & down nights the other heat 15 contenders had had its perfectly possible Ipswich could have got a 5-1 in heat 15. Someone said on here Sheffield only have access to the stadium for 6 hours on a Wednesday to prep the track on last night's evidence they would need a whole day just to put the fence up.

Charlieboy 412 Posted June 28, 2022 As I said I thought Ipswich deserved a point. Doyle would have won 14 and 15 and I think Riss could possibly a point in 15. If you read what our promotor has put it wasn’t just one airbag to pump up. I was told last night it was the impact and damage done to the gate airbag that caused all the problems!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
