cowboy cookie returns? 747 Posted September 29, 2023 The biggest question is around who rides for the Sheffield select side. Regardless of if the averages allow it or not Sheffield should keep in Lawson along Lambert for continuity reasons. If Harris rides it completely devalues & makes the sports highlight of the season a farce. I think this will be closer than the cup final but I think Ipswich will have enough over 2 legs to complete the job. The key riders are Riss for Ipswich & Holder for Sheffield.

The Third Man 2,217 Posted September 29, 2023 So here we go, Sheffield don't deserve to be in the final because half their team got injured and it rained last night just before Wolves were going to mount a great comeback and win on the night and win on aggregate 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People go so ott about Harris being a guest. . Just dont see any problem with it at all. Just the normal suspects acting like drama queen's over nothing as normal.

I've followed both Sheffield and Ipswich keenly past 2 seasons with the Swindon connections but I do believe you should be made to use the guests in the final that got you through and not adopt a horses for courses policy , barring injury to the guests already used . To me it's like taking out an out of form rider and replacing them after the cut off point in this case Harris who flew round Ippo . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hagonshocker 1,956 Posted September 29, 2023 You may as well abolish the window for changes if you can swap your guests around to suit...anyway like I've said I like both sides and I will still be happy with whoever wins despite finding the guest switch a bit tasteless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted September 29, 2023 Sheffield look strong. I think Ipswich will sin by 6 points, which won't be enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems wrong, Harris helped Ipswich get in to the final and now he is helping another team stop them winning the title. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah disagree with you on this one, Harris guesting against Ipswich after guesting FOR Ipswich in the semi is just plain daft. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All guests in any match could classed as doing that This is a new match and just like any match in the history of speedway you can pick a guest that fits into your side.No idea why this should be any different . Wrong is changing the rules after they have been made. Edited September 29, 2023 by orion 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes true but it seems some including myself thought there was a rule to stop a rider riding for more than one play off team but apparently that is not the case. Anyway should make a great final and is what most would want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted September 29, 2023 As Connor Mountain rode last night I am assuming he cant ride next thursday in the final due to 8 day rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
