That was a competent ride for sure, he did the same at Sheffield the other season beat Ben Cook I think it was a great ride to hold him off. He is developing well. If itsa. call as to which one to have next season I wouldn't want to make it as I like and rate both of them as decent prospects Despite Rew guesting i which is better than R/R - I feel Witches are weaker without Adam!

duplicated

I am always amazed that at a tense part of the meeting Abbi stands there with her mic going shall we try and get a word with x - I think i'd be saying sod off to her!

When it matters, in the play-offs, he has so far been good, 4+2, 5+3 and 6 - clearly outscoring his opponents, I don't disagree in that he has had one or two bad meetings - needs a good 4-6 score tomorrow as well but I feel saying hes been just ok is a little harsh on him!

Agree - its also been nice to see Jordan in the pits talking with Jason / team mates too - both have very similar averages and both are a wee bit better away from home which is a bonus in a way as often R/s are never as good away from home as at home!

Front wheel yes, back wheel not for me!

At Foxhall I would disgaree - Adam is usually pretty good at Foxhall. I like Rew however good decision to get him in

agreed and pleased for the lad!

It’s advantage Witches for sure but the can be no complacency! A 1-5 in heat 1 and will fire op Leicester and make the Witches nervous!

Two or three races involving TomB and Emil were top entertainment!

Huge fans of both of these two, in the BL I considered Shooey the better rider (his league form was certainly more consistent) but Kelly was almost at the end of his carrer in the very late 80's to early 90s! I always felt PK was the better of the Karlssons, but acknowledge both were damn good! Advantage Witches for sure but heat 15 is a reminder how it can go wrong, they should be taking a bigger lead to Foxhall. No room to be complacenet on Thursday. Well done the Witches reserves too - whilst Emil gave a great performance as did TomB - Dan and Jason did a complete job over their rival reserves tonight.

Been badly run for 25+ years - disaster after disaster the only good times they had in that period was under Mandaric whose passing was annouced very recently. However I am convinced it will be sorted. Tom still listed as riding so lets hope he is fit and we really want 14 club riders and no appearance from Mr Harris even tho i love him as a rider! May the best team win over 2 legs! My preference is for the Witches but my 2nd choise was the Lions so if they do prevail well done to them!

Yes i am well aware they won the title a few days earlier

Yeah clues kinda in the name ain’t it! Dreadful meeting really nothing inspiring at all - in front of a half empty stadium - guess the locals didn’t care either!

The previous owner was always very much against top flight racing

Really hope a new promoter is found etc - having looked at the Sheffield accounts they do seem to lose money over time (unless i have misread them) so someone with a few quid is needed.

I'd be wary of this! Utd (Blades) seemed to be the only Saudi prince owned club with no money 😁 The moment they got into the Prem the other season the club was put up for sale

Absolutely this! It also confirms why playoff speedway will be here to stay this is by far one of the few meetings that all the TV viewers seem to have liked / enjoyed / loved!

Not a fan of Kt? Would never have guessed 😅

Picko may have just made the decision Of the night with his gate pick!!

The purists won’t like this but this is why we have the playoffs - great meeting / effort from both sides heat 15 it’s all on this!

Fair play to Jack great ride now he can raise the no 1 finger!

Ludicrous move from Kemp there

Looking forward to this, Leicester must feel this is theirs to lose but if Sheffield open with a 5-1 or two then its anyones! Afterall Sheffield had a very hadny leg after 4-5 races and it all was gradually chipped away at!

hence why occasionally you have to be prepared to be a bit ruthless to get to the very top - Nielsen was the classic example - Gundersen was the nicer chap but Nielsen was prepared to stuff you to get what he wanted hence why he was the more successful of the two, for the record I preferred Gundersen - lovely fella! I still love the picture i had taken with him at Cradley one saturday night - not long after that he was injured never to ride again!
