Well it was Leicester, Ipswich, Belle Vue and Sheffield's fault, along with Phil Morris and various other people in charge of the sport. So Ipswich are just as culpable as anyone.
It's even worse than I've seen it before this season, no dirt at all. Clearly we can't gate either which really isn't helping but christ it's turgid.
I stupidly told a non speedway fan to watch tonight. What a fool I am...
Because however likely it is that we will beat Lynn and finish top, there's a chance we may not.
The matches against Lynn are now completely pointless and yet again the sport had subverted its own rules.
It sounds like the decision was made for "commercial reasons" which is a terrible affront to those who've ridden for their teams and those who've supported their teams.
Surely it would have been a good idea to let supporters know that there was doubt and that he was riding through the pain barrier and would see how it went?
It's simple comms like this that would stop all some of the moaning at least. As a non BV or Sheffield fan watching that I had no idea what had happened, and let's face it speedway is a sport for the embittered old cynic in all of us.
I'd fancy us against BV and Ipswich, Sheffield I'd be more worried as Fricke doesn't always go that well there. But I can't see us being beaten at BP by anyone the form we're in. Famous last words!
