    Sheffield Tigers 2023

    Sadly I feel you are correct... As with so much in life.. What got passed up, and accepted as "OK", in the pre internet days is impossible to get away with nowadays.... Where once "dozens" may have shook their collective heads, and laughed at something they found out, (after already paying their money to get in), it is now potentially many thousand who know well in advance what is going to be served up, so will make the call to atrend based on whether they find it acceptable or not... A "difficult sell" sometimes I would think...

    Sheffield Tigers 2023

    Perfectly acceptable.... And the fans, if they win, won't care one jot... We do get the sport (domestic UK), that we deserve...
  3. How did Sheffield end up with 3 guests? Thought it was one HL and then RR for the other..? Let's hope a "select team" don't win the final...
  4. Cracking meeting... Well done Ippo and all the best for the final... Always liked Chris Louis and felt he is one of those that could really move the sport forwards.. Special mention to Captain Kurtz, absolutely gave everything over both legs and hammered the pit gate after Ht 15 he was so pissed off... Got to be back next season as the Aces No1... Ultimately I think Wright missing was the game changer as his will to win is always worth a couple of extra points at least, and he seems to avoid last places in those "big races"which the Aces had too many of over the two legs.. Emil and Doyle were brilliant at the end though, and that ultimately is what you pay the big bucks for, what a superb minute and a bit of Speedway... Well Done Ipswich, best of luck in getting the double...
  5. I want to buy an Hawaiian shirt and become a Private Investigator..
  6. Great race from Rew again... Blodorn couldn't make his mind up where to ride and stick to it...
  7. As SAF would have said... Squeaky Bum time in Ipswich?
  8. Sacked for the 15th time this season...
  9. I think he means watching on TV...
  10. Could say the same about Dan, didn't look for his team mate once till bend four last lap.. The Aces' need was greater than Ippo's.. No 5-1's will be their main plan...
  11. He will be banned for wrong kevlars next race...
  12. The play offs are the only time when it matters... You can fudge around through the season to qualify, but you cannot in the play offs... No second, third, fourth or fifth etc chances..
  13. Him at 2, and Rew at 6 for the Aces..
  14. Charles Wright is big miss, given his aggression and will to win in particular... Dan's seven points in five rides so far a bigger conribution to the scoreline though.. That is 14 points Ipswich have gained in his rides..
  15. Doyle just did a practice start without a helmet on... Immediate one match ban... Phil! Phil! Get the jury together...
  16. Of course not... How boring would that be?... I think the Aces will win 60-30...
  17. That's just the algorithm automatically defaulting...
  18. Emil will win the races that Dan didn't last week to negate any heat advantages... Just three wins for him and two for Doyle would mean the Aces only would have 10 races in which to win the meeting... And that is without any heat advantage in those five...
  19. Last Monday, after the call off, I saw him and Norick playing pool in the Hazel Grove Snooker Club at about 7pm, so maybe check there...
