    Be happy if we took zach cook to Ipswich in 2024, better style then his older brother imo, 10+3 & 5+2 in his two visits this season

    tomato tomayto - I'd rather have Ben.. Has been in the main body of the Peterborough team this year whereas Zach is at reserve.

    But yet, the only reason why Ipswich are even in the final is due to a Peterborough team (that made as many, if not more changes than Sheffield) winning an unlikely tie on aggregate against Leicester after improving their team massively. 

    But of course, that was all fine!!

    Sheffield made changes when certain riders were underperforming, Ipswich didn't despite many fans calling for King (at that point) and Riss to go. 

    Are Sheffield any stronger with guests than with Tai and Tobi, not on paper but could be. Are they any stronger than the first team put together, not really. 

    It is what it is!! Lets just hope for a great close final and may the best team win! 

    Massively.

    Can I just say that I am heartily sick of this superior attitude ? Belle Vue who have had  a track built for them  with no restrictions compared to Wolves who have to fit within the confines of a greyhound track and whatever their landlords decree.  You may or may not know that in 1996 the  greyhound track was being altered and the stadium was not available to us, so we had to ride the 'home' leg of the KO Cup final at Long Eaton. On match days we only have access to the the track late on due to greyhound racing in the afternoon.These are the sort of things that we have to contend with. Also as a Wolves fan you have zero right to speak on my behalf, so refrain from doing so.I hope that's clear.

    Absolutely and I'm sure others feel the same - "my Dad's bigger than your Dad" is really childish.

    He made his comeback by his own admission, because he had to try and earn money, even though he was struggling to see as he foolishly admitted on his website before it was quickly pulled! He also admitted in a much more recent interview, that he’s still nowhere near fit and didn’t expect to be before the season was out. Absolutely bonkers by Ipswich not to make a change this year but they MAY just get away with it. 
     

    Makes you wonder how good they’d be if Riss was contributing the steady points he’s capable of and has shown in the past. 
     

     

    Time will tell.

    Plenty of us at Redcar have had similar conversations all year, then he goes and rides Longtrack at bigger speeds and more riders in a race and does well. Sort of eliminates the bottle gone theory. He has loads of us confused to be honest. 

    He's ok if in front/there's no-one near him but will never try to pass anyone other than on the inside if they go too wide and if it gets close he shuts off. So to me that's a rider who's lost the nerve to win - riding not racing.

    Wright is a massive miss, BV would not have lost by 18 with him in the team.

    Disagree on that.  Wright has never been that great at Foxhall - yes, he beat our reserves and Riss there this year, not many riders didn't!  He had one victory over Emil when Emil made a shocking gate and was in last and took a while to get past Brennan.  Ipswich are stronger now than they were earlier in the year.  As always, meetings are not won on paper and I'm really looking forwards to see how tonight pans out.

    I watched the Phil Morris & CVS section and have been following the rest on here.  I was surprised more was not made of the demographic - kids and Granddads, because 3G pitches or other 'leisure facilities' mentioned here and with Peterborough seem to cater for active participants, not spectators, young old and disabled.

    If Tai rides for Wrocław on Sunday but then doesn’t ride on Monday he must get a 28 day ban for withholding his services. The question is though could Tai guest for himself on Thursday?

    Sure, Eurosport love him. If not get Bartek to guest, his MA from Birmingham all those years ago allows it. Sorry did you say Sheffield, who are they? :)

    For the supposed pinnacle of British speedway, i.e. play off in the top league, I have to say this was no showpiece whatsoever. The racing was pretty much non-existent. I understand Witches fans not really worrying about that but it certainly aint going to attract any new supporters. I gave up before the end.

    If the better riders make the start/first two bends what sort of racing do you expect?

    The BSPA Office has confirmed that the Regulation does not state that a rider with an assessed average cannot guest, only a rider who does not have an Established MA.  Robert Lambert has an Established MA from 2019.

    So you can make it up :rolleyes:

    Surely that's why he's on an assessed average, because he doesn't have an established MA (because it's more than two years ago)?  You're right, it's all made up and makes them stronger.
