A team made up of guests, racing in ridiculous conditions all because of the TV wins a farce of a meeting after a whole seasons worth of racing!

mikebv 10,285 Posted October 5, 2023 Running in October usually means crap weather... Crap weather usually means crap tracks... Crap tracks means crap racing bordering on the wrong side of acceptable from the danger side of the sport.. Who knew? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think Danny was just trying everything to get a place back. He is a great guy and excellent team man. Would have him at Poole next year no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted October 5, 2023 It’s a grand final shouldn’t be getting rushed through like it is. Only British speedway this would happen. Meeting should be called a rode a different night. This isn’t speedway and if I was either club I would be embarrassed a little with this title as it will always be looked back on as a bit of a mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 5, 2023 Can’t believe they will call it off after this heat. That would need Ipswich to wave the white flag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are pros and cons with Play Offs but bad weather and guests are almost inevitable if you decide the league in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shocking way to finish the season Most unsatisfactory for a final of all matches to be ridden in these conditions! I looked at the forecast as soon as the rescheduled match on Tuesday finished and rain was always going to be on the cards. Why they postpone the Ipswich leg but not the Sheffield leg with a similar forecast is strange to say the least... And then when it is decided to stage the match there seems to be zero flexibility from Eurosport as regards starting time and ad breaks etc. It's on situations like this when I really question the value that Tv coverage adds to our sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
