Like you style 😄 If that’s supposed to be aftershave ,speedway s now like Brut popular in the 70s but not so now 😀.

It could if the weather don't play ball in October end up being even more of a shambles, coz for arguments sake if the Leicester/Ipswich fixtures aint completed for wotever reason who wins the League, Sheffield for finishing top after all fixtures have been completed or Ipswich who sat top at the cut off date, or does Scotty get Max Fricke n Danny King together for rock/paper/scissors🤣

Things were not always great for the NFL - it was coming together to make it work that brought it to where it is today The early National Football League (NFL) experienced significant struggles, as it was poorly organized, underfunded, and unstable, characterized by numerous teams quickly joining and leaving, low fan attendance, and intense competition for players. Pro football also struggled for recognition, overshadowed by more popular sports The creation of the NFL in 1920 was an attempt by owners to establish a strong, stable league that could control player salaries and finances more effectively. It wasn't until 1936 that an NFL season began with the same lineup of teams as the previous year, marking a significant step toward stability.

They wouldn't tbh as I doubt most of their HL's will be at the club next season If Poole move up or it's one big league. The Holder brothers will surely be going back to the Pirate ship.

Great performance by Ipswich tonight. Lowering averages whilst making sure that nobody came out of this pointless meeting with a knock or an injury.

That’s the point. They have cash but no idea on what to usefully do with it.

The riders are more professional these days, hopefully, was a lot different when stoney was riding, a few fags washed down with several pints of Guinness 😁

Exactly right, you've got to come back at some point.

Congratulations to Sheffield but the point being made about them winning the league is a misleading one. The play off fixtures were confirmed prior to the meeting at Foxhall. Because of that, it was clear that the Witches were not that bothered in the home meeting and they certainly were not tonight. If both meetings had been run ahead of the play off fixture announcement, it is highly likely that at least one of the results would have been different. Anyway, it’s all academic.

I had a big crash there in 1996 riding for long Eaton clipping James birkenshaw’s back wheel entering the 3rd turn and smashing into the mesh fence before air fences and ending up in Sheffield hospital,,I still have the race jacket which I ripped open on my handlebar clamps,but I still didn’t mind riding there for 15 or more years as an away rider even though I was usually crap there 😂 but it was an easy place to ride and never considered it dangerous

I actually said as soon as Sheffield beat us at Foxhall they will finish top and that the play offs have been picked wrongly once again.

Meant to be here!

Was a shame he had to pull out. I just assumed he was in Poland.

If you were a Sheffield supporter I'd feel more worried for Sheffield!!

They have done away with riders as assets, they are classed as self employed

Nobody is going to suggest that. The cut off was stated, the matches weren't completed in time, and we have to accept that. But let's not pretend that we only finished top because your riders weren't trying tonight. We finished top because of the result at your place at the start of the month. We were unfortunate that the way the playoffs fell pitted us against the only team to beat us over 30 heats this season (super heats not included). Had the playoffs fallen any other way we would probably have made the final, but to win them you have to beat everybody and we didn't do that. Hopefully the final will be as exciting and close as our semi final was - you seem to be quite evenly matched so it should be a good spectacle for TV and whoever takes the trophy will be worthy winners.

Nee Naw Nee Naw

No, it is definitely not a joke. As I posted earlier, I lost my Track in 1964 and 1974. I am still very bitter about the way it happened, both in 1964 and 1974. You get to love a Sport and it is taken from you - it is no joke and certainly not funny. I sympathise with the Supporters with every Club that has gone, or will go to the wall. Even if Sunderland returned net Season, it is too late for me, I could not attend. It upsets me very much the way Speedway, our Sport, is shrinking. When one can see what has happened at Cradley Heath, Coventry, Peterborough, Wolverhampton, Wimbledon, Hull, Newcastle, Swindon et al - to me it is tragic. These were all great Teams years ago. I know I am getting on in years and some will say (not all I hope) that I am a silly old duffer living in the past. There is an old saying: "The past is another Country; they do thing differently there". Quote attributed to L. P. Hartley.
