Not seen any gloating from BV fans on here tonight, a lot of the track comments do actually come from fans of other teams. Whats more concerning considering the state of the sport is at the rate its going will we have enough teams to have any sort of meaningful league next season? No point having a new stadium if theres no opposition. Kirky lane wasnt good but did its job it was better than no speedway, i never really understood the critisism of Monmore from fans around the country. Its now going to be missed isnt it? Hope they can quickly get a new home along with Peterborough.

Congratulations to the Witches, 18 was a big ask and then falling 22 behind made it an impossible task that we nearly pulled off. Pity yet another injury hit us at play off time but the performance at Ipswich and the first four heats tonight did for us. Overall Ipswich did the job and i hope they go onto win it, Doyley and Emil really are two top quality riders enjoy watching them both. Good racing and a good advert for the sport. Good Luck Witches

Its game over after heat 3 mate, Ipswich quicker and more determined, they are more up for it

Riding when not fit just hinders the team but Norick has been hit and miss this season.

Whats ironic? No Belle Vue fans complaining why should we come out in support not our club.

OOhh the irony

Some were saying we should have rode with two juniors last season

Kurtz has been our best rider for a couple of seasons now, agree about Musielak great rider, reliable and can ride all tracks big or small, will be a big miss for Sheffield.

Kurtz has been improving each season to be fair to him.

Ive felt for a while he regrets riding the UK this season, best bikes no doubt in Poland, just feels weve been sold short.

He wouldnt last 5 minutes there riding like he has for us.

Good shout mate

Been disappointing for us this season looking at the quality of the league.

I dont think that will happen, unless the miracle happens and we pull it back i hope you go on to win it. With the last gasp qualification as they say in football your name could be on the trophy.

Cant see us pulling it back with your top two, fair play Ipswich were right up for it tonight.

Wheres the sour grapes, ive said it was a bottle job from us Ipswich were head and shoulders above, saying Bewley was poor isnt sour grapes its fact, his average in this league should be far better. When your beaten like that you just hold your hands up

Bewley has been a big disappointment, i just feel he regrets coming back to the UK, should be top 3 in averages in this league,

I expected far more from him in this league should certainy be in top 3 or 4 in the averages in this company, also think Cook would have shown up better than Norick, Ipswich far better and more up fir it, pathetic BV performance, Witches head and shoulders above us.

Can see the second leg being pointless, Harris covering for Doyle so far

I think Brennan and Blodorn could be key for us keeping it close, both have been a bit more hit and miss this season as can happen with young riders. I would expect Dan to be a lot better than his 4 points on our last visit, Doyle a big miss be interesting to see if the play off version of Harris turns up, will have to have some meeting to match Jason. I think Ipswich take the win, by how many could depend on Tom and Norick, King seems to be riding well at the moment, Riss and Rew could be key for Ipswich.

We need to cover r/r and Brennan and Blodorn have been inconsistent at times this season, on more than one occasion we have stared off slowly at home only to get the job done in the final five heats, that will be difficult with Doyley and Emil, King, Riss, and Rew can give the backing to the top two to make this close. Cant see us winning at Ipswich again, Dan only scored four, Ipswich were a different team then.

Congratulations Witches, coming into form at the right time, after just scrapping into the play offs in the last heat i can see them going on to win it. Its about peaking at the right time. Monday will be difficult for us i think, we need the polish version of Dan and to be able to cover well for Charles, also Brennan and Blodorn cant afford any inconsistencies. Doyley and Emil are certainly going to give Ipswich a solid base to build on, King seems to have hit a vein of form too. Can see Ipswich keeping it close enough Monday, Thursday is going to be a tough one for us.

The most bent sport for me is Boxing, the amount of times you see robberies on the cards is ridiculous and predictible, speedway just makes up the rules as it goes along due to incompetents running the sport.

So a team signs a rider at the end of August said rider gets injured but is still allowed guest to cover? Im lost mate, how can such a simple sport have such a comlicated rule book? I give up with it just hope the actual ontrack action is good, imagine a newby trying to understand it

Thanks for the explanation, what seemed odd was we apparantly shouldnt have been able to replace Fricke who had rode for us all season yet its deemed fine to replace a replacement number 1, speedway rules eh, think we need to be getting at least 7 from Charles rides.
