Sheffield lost J Holder, Woffy and Tobi M through injurys and im sure if they had it there way theyd of wanted a fall side. They decided not to have Jack back and made the team stronger overall. It is always preferable not to have a fall side!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siggysigalos 28 Posted October 6, 2023 Right.......I've slept, read through all the posts......and think i just need to put my opinion onto this matter. I'm not going to go about the guests(although I'm not sure Harris should be able to ride for 2 teams in the play offs),but it is what it is, and Sheffield felt the pain of Robert Lambert guesting for Belle Vue last season, which i still say was wrong, but it's irrelevant. Congratulations to the Sheffield team(Kyle Howarth)on last night, joking aside ,any side that can't defend an 18 point lead, in my opinion doesn't deserve to win the title, we scraped in Play Offs, and we certainly give it a good go. So well done Sheffield, great effort last night, and you are the Champions. Sadly as a Witches fan, 8 weeks does not culminate in a season, but what a last 8 weeks this team has give us supporters, Runners-Up in the league and KO Cup winners, i would of taken that at the beginning of August, its been entertainment all the way with Emil and Jason, worth the entrance fee alone, it seems absolute certain both will return next season, so let's hope we have a league with enough teams in, so its competitive and all of us supporters of this great sport all over the country have Speedway to go and watch next season. But i cant just leave one situation which as a 55 Year Old lover of Speedway for over 47 years i have to address. This also isn't a jab at you Sheffield Fans as i don't blame any of you in the slightest, but i travelled to Sheffield last night, yes devastated at the end, but all Sheffield supporters(most) were very humble to acknowledge we had made the journey and conversations were absolutely fine, but oh my......Tai Woofinden, what can i say, for years now i have followed, supported and defended this guy at more than just the British Grand Prix's....But no more, in fact, i hope we bump into each other at Cardiff next year, yes i hear you all say, i bet he's scared, and i very much doubt he is, but what a disgusting individual this guy is, his behaviour as a 3 time World Champion(which ive seen him win twice) was nothing short of a schoolkid, he's meant to be a role model in the Sport, i even had dozen's and i mean Dozen,s of Sheffield fans actually apologise on his behalf for his Pathetic F**K OFF back to Ipswich comments on the mic. We won't get any kind of apology, as i doubt he even has that in him, so that's me done cheering on that reprobate. I didn't see the Lambert stuff, so no comment from me, although i now understand there is video footage coming out about those scenes, which i also find quite sad. Well done the Tigers, great performance last night, let's all hope we have enough tracks to cheer our boys on next season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They always knew that though so they must have thought Mountain was better at Ipswich , Jye must have been first choice for home leg and they were right.

Jack was still injured at the close of the transfer window, he rode at Cardiff after the window closed, and even if he was fit i don't think his injury would have stood up to riding in all the meetings he would have had to in England, he looked in a lot of pain at Cardiff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
