Oh get over yourself- the attitude of an handful of Ipswich fans on this form has been pathetic over last couple of years- constantly hounded about our track, fans and riders and giving a dig at every opportunity even when their teams aren't involved in it. Do I think most fans want to see Sheffield open? Absolutely. but with way the club has been lambasted by some i also feel there's some that would relish seeing the demise of the club i support. I'll leave it there. If people agree or disagree I don't care anymore. Outside speedway I'm a Wednesday fan so seeing both clubs you support potentially go to the wall is pretty draining.

Hopefully someone can be found to buy the club- last thing thr sport needs is another well established clubs lost like so many others- although I'm sure there's a good amount of Ipswich fans that'd be glad to see us go under...

Exactly what speedway needs. Some fresh young blood to bring the sport into the new age. Welcome aboard Arry, I'm sure you won't look lost amongst the crowd.

Initially coming in it did look a right old state but after all the work it looked good to me, but truly what do I know, I'm just some fat lad stood in stands who's only chucked his leg over a 125cc. I was that confident it was going to run I'd gone to grab a pint and whilst in the queue they made the call it was off. Do feel mostly for the visiting Ipswich fans which there was a good amount and can relate to how they feel- we went all to Birmingham many years ago and in very similar circumstances it absolutely chucked it down just before the meeting and got rained off its crap. Also feel for the track staff who you could see were working absolutely overtime to sort the track. For people who are ultimately volunteers they certainly did not shy away from putting in the effort. I think the riders could've given it a go personally. But we'll truly never know whether it was some being overly cautious or if the track wasn't rideable.

Moron. If you'd seen the effort of the track staff you'd have seen we wanted that meeting on. And what advantage does Sheffield have from not running it? Because I can tell you now having to hire out owlerton another night isn't cheap. According to picko over intercom the ref listened to both sets of riders, some were good to give it a go and others weren't. Because they couldn't come to an agreement they've called it off.

Wouldn't make an awful lot of difference i reckon. We weren't going to win league with Sedgy and Kerr, we probably won't with Morris and Etheridge but at least the promotion have tried something

I'd be surprised if we was looking to get rid of Kerr. Blown a bit hot and cold, but has put in some real match winning performances. I think only reason to get rid of him would be to accommodate a better riders to replace sedgy who definitely needs to be replaced at this stage. I think we'll struggle to get anyone new over at this stage. Think the likely ones will be one of Nagels, Mcdiarmid or Mountain to come in.

Be a class signing. But can't see it happening

Think the sport needs to drop a level sadly. It's great to watch likes of the Holders, Woffy, Doyle, Kurtz and Sayfutdinov, but they're sadly few and far between that do want to ride in gb. I think the time has come to stop competing with the Polish top league. The money is just completely incomparable- when youve got Doyle reporting to have made over £40k from one meeting in Poland how can you expect anyone to risk it all to come ride over here? It makes no sense to. The sport needs to make it a more viable option even that means you cater more for the mid end riders.

I'm no medical professional but for me it feels he's coming back far too early. And I'm sure it's a combination of a bit of pressure from his Polish side and sheer determination from Doyle wanting to get back on the bike. I just hope Jason hasn't tried to get back too soon at the potential detriment of his health.

So just to make things clear, weve gone from Sheffield is closing next year due as we're getting kicked out of Owlerton to now Tolley is taking over Sheffield... We're proper 'in the know' on this forum 🤡

Stock cars have a completely seperate pit area to the speedway. The stocks used an area behind the 2nd bend where the old training track was- so would have no effect on the speedway. The greyhounds are going nowhere and therefore the stadium is going nowhere. Think people have seen the news with the stock cars and presumed incorrectly.

Like this hasn't been known since the start of the season. Polish media announced that MJJ wasn't doing a full season in Britain and now it's being made out its a last minute decision? Absolute load of s***. Embarrassing from all sides. And as always, the sport in this country is made to look even more amateur. I genuinely believed things were getting better and we were seeing a move in the right direction. But it's all the same old.

Superb meeting that was. Speedway as it should be with two good sides going at it, a close scoreline and some cracking racing. Credit to both sets of riders. Credit to Ipswich as they are living up to the hype and showing why they're the favourites for the league.
