Charlieboy 412 Posted October 6, 2023 12 hours ago, The Third Man said: 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 You can’t beat been there with live sport when those 2 play off comebacks were achieved. Absolutely remarkable nights of entertainment. I always felt Wednesday had a chance against Peterborough but wasn’t confident last night especially with Emil and Doyley and I expected king and Rew to see them over the line. The track held up well despite the rain and none of the riders complained. Great attitude from both sets of riders to crack on and get to the end. If a result had been called after 10 heats we’d won anyway and we would have been robbed of some really good racing in the latter heats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AceBelle 43 Posted October 6, 2023 7 minutes ago, Bagpuss said: That's great but points across the whole season is more accurate, if anything it highlights Bewleys inconsistency. If you wanted to go micro with the head to head we could refer to heat 18 last Saturday TBH it seems a bit churlish to be arguing about who is better than who, they are both great talents and most importantly British. correct both are qaulity riders very little between the tbh anyone would have either of them in their team !! has for the other so called top brit think he summed himself up last night enough said !!

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted October 6, 2023 "Sadly, the bigger picture to the BSPL will be that it was a classic season. Underdogs reach the final, a huge comeback by Sheffield that went down to the wire. Regardless of Lambert coming in for the final, they will see it that GP riders want to be involved in British Speedway. By bringing Birmingham in to replace Wolves gives the league credibility again in their eyes, despite Brummies not being there on any sort of merit but having spent the last 5yrs flirting with the wooden spoon and survival! But still the BSPL think everything is rosy in the garden.... " yup ... sadly no need for any changes as it has been such a successful season ....... article i read in the Star quoted Birmiongham as being 80/20 likely to run in 2024 with only Mondays available thus obliging them to apply to run in the PL, and only for a 1 year lease courtesy of the greyhound promotion a Perry Barr. Hardly a a long term future, and speedway seems to stagger along year by year. Credit where credit is due though seems this season the PL p. offs and the KO Cup have been completed in a timely manner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Ore 204 Posted October 6, 2023 5 hours ago, siggysigalos said: 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, Well done the Tigers, great performance last night, let's all hope we have enough tracks to cheer our boys on next season. And mega thanks to the Witches fans who offered me their congratulations after the meeting, which were sincere and humble, in spite of their obvious disappointment. Being able to empathise with my own return trip being even longer gave a joint laugh. Top guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next please, try harder!! Aren't we all as adults meant to be role models to youngsters?They may hear someone in the limelight give out the odd swear word,but I'm sure youngsters are more likely to use those words if they are around folk if they are swearing more often.
