hyderd 1,216 Posted October 6, 2023 Well done Sheffield, on the night you were the better team and deserved the victory. How ironic is it that R Lambert at the season ending, helps a team win the league. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great supporter of British League speedway in recent years. As is Holder and Lambert. Not. Brilliant fight back by Tigers last night. Wonder where Lambert will go next September.

But it just feels wrong, getting a League winners medal, unless it's for your own team. Anyone who deserves it, it is Lewis Kerr. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Third Man 2,217 Posted October 6, 2023 Well done Sheffield, the rain didn't have that much of an effect and there was some decent racing Went expecting us to lose on aggregate, but the scene was set in heat one and all seven riders kept up the pressure until heat 15 when we got the points needed, second time in six months i have seen a Sheffield team in a record breaking come back in the play offs well done to the guests all rode as though they wanted to win when they could have just gone through the motions, would rather have had Tai and Tobi but that's speedway hopefully if we get to next years final we can win it before heat 15, my nerves cant stand any more last heat deciders like that 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 6, 2023 You certainly wouldn't want an Ipswich team over the last 25 years taking your dog for a walk, that's for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's be honest, no one should really take it too seriously... How can you when Bomber played a major part in Ipswich reaching the final, then played a major part in their opponents beating Ipswich in that final... Bomber who rides for Peterborough... A last heat decider made for good TV, but given such nonsense is allowed to take place, it is best not to get too worked up about the result... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted October 6, 2023 If people are so incensed by late season signings then the transfer window needs changing. Its inevitable that injuries are going to occur and that teams will seek replacements fir those and riders out of form. Make the window close earlier apart from for injury. I'd also argue that just because riders don't choose to do full seasons here doesn't mean they don't care for UK speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted October 6, 2023 Not much (if any) mention of it but credit to Jason Edwards. He's not someone I'd associate with being suited to a track like Sheffiled but since coming in to the Rising Star slot has scored some crucial points and some nexpected points for Sheffield and his heat 2 win last night was crucial in terms of momentum. It seems by far the most level headed and gracious of the younger riders and deserves a medal. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 413 Posted October 6, 2023 With regard to Tai’s comments. He sure is a great rider but one with an extremely limited range of vocabulary which probably explains his difficulty in communicating without expletives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done Kyle Howarth (and sort of Sheffield) on last night's medal (last man standing he needs to be named). Just a shame Lewis Kerr wasn't riding as well.

Naughty from Doyle in heat 13, I'm glad he was found wanting in the deciding race, have never been a fan. Was an absolute plank off track too in his younger days. The guest situation is a long way short of ideal but you reap what you sow I'm afraid. Pleased for Jason Edwards and Josh Pickering who started the season as Stars, and of course Norfolk's finest Was Josh not at Kings Lynn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
