You cannot blame any team having to use guests,its speedway and they are the rules or changing your team for better overall strength, Ellis had to go, Kerr unfortunate casualty, imagine if you had Kerr at reserve tomorrow night. 

i am not blaming anyone, its just some Ipswich supporters are moaning about Sheffield when it was two guests that got them to the final

I've said I would've like to have run with RR even if it meant we didn't win

One guest with an average under 7 for an injured 9+ rider taken from a team not in the playoffs is on the sliding scale integrity issues at the very low end

Two guests,  one a 10 point ringer in a fake 8 point wrapper that is 4 years old (considered irrelevant in EVERY regulation that INCLUDES it but suitable ONLY  due to the fact it is NOT mentioned in another) and the other having already been involved  in the play offs for another team

I will let everybody make up their own mind as to where in the scale that sits....

i think some Ipswich fans would be happier with us turning up with 4 riders tomorrow and no guests

that would give you the victory you seem to want no matter what

We are working within the rules, Ipswich seem to have a problem with this because it gives us a chance

Aren't Sheffield desperate to win it as well, after all we did beat you in the KO Cup and I'm sure you'd like to get your own back.

I'm not desperate no,,, I honestly couldn't give a rats buttcheek if Ipswich win or not,,, but for the promotion to win the meeting it's a good choice.

Completely missing the point and looking at too narrow a picture

The semi - irrelevant, the final - irrelevant, who wins and loses - irrelevant 

Integrity, transparency, consistency  - relevant

Early call off… I thought Ipswich never called a meeting off early… are you sure it’s got nothing to do with the fact that Bomber can’t do Tuesday!? Running scared

I suspect the TV company have had something to say, last thing they'll want is a rain off

I don’t think anyone is disputing you are not abiding by the rules but its difficult to be sympathetic when you sacked two fit riders just before the cut off. 
all within the rules but does give the impression of win at all costs.  
up the witches
