Well said - sometimes you just have to live in and enjoy the moment, and on that note congrats to Sheffield, Ipswich will have to show much more in the playoffs which I am sure they will!

Wasn't there so can't comment on the actual performance. Just saying that you can't assume that Sheffield would have finished top. Anything could have happened last night that could have affected performances today. It just seems that every season, supposed supporters of speedway seem to want to spend the whole time ripping it to pieces and finding fault with it rather than enjoying what we have. The table is what it is, the playoffs are what they are. Whether you agree with them or not, that is how the sport functions now. Better to embrace it than vilify it. Speedway is a secondary sport to me as I was brought up on 4 wheeled motorsport and spend my weekends travelling the country watching stock car racing. By the same token as many on here say about speedway, stock car racing is nowhere near the sport it was in the 70s and 80s, but you can either let that get you down and moan about it, or you can enjoy what you have while it is still there. I have said for a while that stock car racing has 10-15 years left as either environmentalists or H&S will bring it to an end. I don't want to be sat there when it is all gone wishing I had done more, I would much rather get the most out of what is on offer while I still can.

Haven't been impressed with the Witches for a couple of months now. If the Witches don't get it right in the play-offs then Ipswich will be the biggest disappointment of the 2025 season and I include Birmingham and Oxford in that statement.

Agree with all of that.

Don’t agree with that. It was just a very flat and poor performance, and Sheffield were very good and thoroughly deserved their win. Pickering was excellent

Well that is so embarrassing for the Ipswich riders, needing to be beaten away to then decide to turn up at home, if that’s the case they have disrespected all the paying home fans, so I would suggest the above is untrue or there would be many unhapppy fans. Also, Brennan commented that Sheffield were gating better and we have things still to work on for next week. So let’s as Ipswich fans, stop making excuses for them.

But had Sheffield won the home leg, then maybe the Ipswich riders would have been a bit more up for it tonight and wouldn't have lost, so the table would still have looked the same as it does now.

Does nobody have an issue this year with it being picked again then? All the comments about the joke of speedway and this one is just being accepted by people 🤦🏼 I’m not being funny but die hard fans accept it as they love the sport… but this ish needs to be stopped if you want to appeal to a wider audience who wouldn’t bother with it again.

Funny how we completed our league fixtures ahead of you then… the record books also state you were the ones who cancelled a fixture between us this season not the other way round.

Sheffield would have preferred us in play offs. So them not completing the season in time has cost them the easier semi. so at least no one’s gained anything from it this time

Apologies!

Nobody making any comments about how it should have been Sheffield vs Belle Vue next week? Everyone knows Ipswich would have been beaten at Sheffield thus making the league : 1. Sheffield 2. Ipswich 3. Leicester 4. Belle Vue Same circus as last year and same clowns involved.

Nothing meeting for Ipswich other than a chance to lower some of them averages and to test things ready for next week. whereas for Sheffield it meant a lot more wanting to get 2nd spot so they have the Thursday leg at home. And it shown. next week will be won or lost on Monday

Well, Sheffield deserved that. They looked hungrier and way happier on the very slick track than Ipswich. King was awful in his first two rides, Thompson has gone backwards at Foxhall and Edwards is not at this level. Hawkins howler not putting Ellis in in place of Edwards, Ht 12 I think. Holder made some good starts near the end Gate 2 was seemingly best. Ipswich will be nervous heading into next week.

Let’s see if Ipswich win anything this season. There is a difference between doom and gloom and reality. If you are getting beaten at home then it’s not a good look. If it’s a nothing meeting then don’t expect fans to spend £24 to watch a training match. BS in my opinion. I’m all for Ipswich winning the title and I’d celebrate as much as the next guy, but just because I’m honest in my opinion when it’s against the team as well doesn’t mean it’s doom and gloom. 3 people…Emil, Doyle and Brennan won’t win you a meeting alone, I should know, I’m also a Gorzow fan 😂

I thought this was the Championship section.....

100% correct Gavan...

Spot on

Come on mate tonight had nothing on it for us but a lot for them This was a likely result and has no bearing on the play offs

The doom and gloom from some fans in here! Sheffield wanted to win more to get 2nd spot thus meaning home leg second leg against Leicester ….. absolutely nothing on this meeting for Ipswich except stay out of trouble No Ipswich rider tried when behind they didn’t need to This match means nothing come the play offs

I said it months ago but got shot down saying we are amazing at home… yet Leicester Lynn and Sheffield have done very well. We are looking one of the weakest sides in the play offs at the moment I would say. I don’t like the fact all season I hear “we need to all fire on the night and we are unbeatable”. The problem is, we never do, now Thompson is just as unreliable as Ellis and king, Edwards isn’t an improvement. We have a weak reserve pair at the moment.

I’ve been saying all season that this Ipswich team is quite beatable. Next week will be a tough one.

.

I wouldn't read anything into tonight's result...

if anything that result as just given us a better chance & more confidence 😜
