Sheffield's team ruined by injuries is a shame to see. A fully fit side, you would of expected them to win this over two legs. Think Danny King has been a big key to Ippos success late on, Doyle and Emil have been racking up points for fun all season where as King wasn't . He has been flying for them lately. Still, a shame to see injuries ruin any chance of a competitive final. The likes of Lambert mouthing off on camera do nothing good for the sport to any newcomer who may of tuned in to watch the final. Fancy turning your back on your home league for the majority of the season then coming back for a few quid at the end of the season and slagging the tracks on live TV. Kn0bend.

No doubt about it, that line up is the worst I have seen in 25 years. Awful. I actually think bringing back a 24 rider field (22 perm and 2 wild cards per round) with the eliminators would be a good idea now like the late 90s and early 2000s. I dont think anyone would disagree that they were far, far more exciting than what we have at the moment? That line up, along with the current commentary team , will add no excite at all.

Maybe stevebrum could pay back his benefit fraud money to help the wolves? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/man-faked-being-wheelchair-bound-22024413.amp

Thing is with Riss tho is if he is riding unfit for most the season how come now and again he has a cracking meeting?

Have to agree - hes been an absolute class act this season. I didnt think he would be as committed as he has been but he has been superb. Maybe Doyle's loyalty to British Speedway has rubbed off on him as in the last 20 or so years I dont think I have seen a more committed overseas rider in the UK than Doyle.

Scunthorpe drawing at Poole really has opened these play offs up, is it the winner of each group to the final?

We will probably go and beat them now!

Guests have been a thing since I have been following the sport. The only difference is, back then it was very rare that a rider would be missing unless they were genuinely injured. Mike Coles, Phil Morris, Brent Werner, Neville Tatum, Colin White and Jan Pedersen were all regular guests for Newport in 1999 when Anders Henriksson and then Frank Smart were out injured. It has always been the case. What gets on my nerves is when riders are apparently injured, then ride in Sweden on a Tuesday and then are unfit to ride on a Wednesday for their British club before riding in Poland on the Sunday. There are only two solutions to stop all this. Either pay what Poland do OR ban any rider who races in Poland. Sadly, either option looks about as likely as Manchester United winning in Munich this evening!

Remember in 1999 he was class for Reading, Anders and Wato had his number home and away tho.

Correct

Giffard

Bingo!

Nope!

Clue... he rode for Newcastle at some point

Its hard to give a clue as it will give it away. one had a testimonial at Poole.

Nope... way off!

Noticed that Morris doesnt mess about in the pits does he, no messing about in between races which is good to see.
