The Ouch post is very complimentary with regard to John Louis. But you then you go off on a rant which is largely irrelevant to his/her post. You might want to read your reply before posting such bitter, confrontational (juvenile?) responses. A Witches fan with a chip on their shoulder, now there’s a thing!

Regardless of what supporters of some other clubs might think of Sheffield, this sport needs this club. Hopefully they will have a buyer, but let’s face it, owning a speedway club will never be anything other than an extremely expensive hobby. Say what you like about the top hatted badge seller, but he will plough money into the sport and does not appear to be deterred by failure. As a speedway fan I see this as yet another kick in the b4lls for British speedway. Going on previous posts by PhilTheAce, he does seem to have reliable inside information, so hopefully there is a willing buyer prepared to take over. The talk on this forum is of possibly one big league next season. At the moment, one ‘who ever is left’ league would seem more appropriate.

We all know that the only good speedway in this country is at the NSS ........As we are reminded on a regular basis!

Such a great advert for speedway, both teams really wanting it and good cut throat racing. Spot on. That's what you get when you have riders of the right mindset, and let's not forget they were apparently racing on the worst track in the country (as we are reminded on a regular basis).

Just watched heat 15 again and Sheffield can whinge as much as they like because that sort of incident always ends up as all four riders back in a re-start.

Yes, the Lions have lost twice at home this season, as have the mighty Ipswich. Janowski is probably the best choice from riders available to replace Morris, but he isn’t the rider he was, which is why his average fits to cover Morris. Yes, anything can happen in the playoffs, but the Lions will be bitterly disappointed if they do not progress after Thursday’s Houdini act in Sheffield. Really hoping for a Lions v Witches final but if the Lions don’t get over the line, I will not have a problem with Ipswich taking the honours (despite what some people might think 😉).

The Leicester promotion have the visibility issue in hand and free carrots are to be handed out to spectators upon entry.

I’m surprised Dickson puts up with this from Kemp. It’s quite possible that one of the other riders in the race could fall or stop with a mechanical issue after Kemp has pulled over, thus throwing a point away. This is particularly important in two legged matches where points margins are crucial.

Exactly. Let’s face it, Flint was lucky to get away with the incident in the first race. Having seen it a few times, there is hardly any evidence of contact from Fricke. The ref bottled it in my opinion, if in doubt favour the home team. As for heat 14, Howarth was clearly taken out (can’t go by Tatum’s comments, he was embarrassing again tonight). Just because the incident happened on the first bend, it is not an automatic restart with all four back. There was plenty of room between the two riders and Rowe drifted over and clouted Howarth. If that had happened anywhere else in the race it would never have been questioned, so why should this first bend incident be any different?

They only turned up because they thought it was drag racing!

From a neutral's perspective, I think the perfect score to keep this in the balance for the second leg would be Belle Vue 51 Ipswich 39.

Sounds promising then, be great to have another midlands track back.

Oh dear, is he following his passion for red and yellow? 😩

What a sad, bitter and incredibly touchy individual you are. You pick one sentence out of my post (which on the whole I think is quite balanced) and then deviate into a rant roping in other posters. Any reference to arrogance is just my interpretation of wording used by other posters at the time. Forums are about opinions and you know what they say about opinions. You may disagree agree with comments I make, but when I disagree with another posters comments, I do not get aggressive and personal towards an individual or make reference to any previous post of theirs I didn’t like. Your post goes on to take a swipe at anyone who dare say anything negative about your beloved Witches, whom I should add are a very good team that I enjoy watching. Most of my posts are light hearted to generate a bit of banter and are certainly not intentionally aimed at upsetting individuals. If my posts upset you so much then perhaps you should not bother reading them, as you could be offended again. Put your toys back in the pram. Move on. On a final note, Ipswich v Leicester would make a cracking final.

Ouch….That rules you out of any guest bookings for the play offs then! Hope you are on the mend soon.
