The Third Man

Must have a bad year with engines at Sheffield last year as well then

Ipswich drew at Peterborough and got 3 points, Sheffield achieved the same result and got 1 point because of some stupid rule, speedway matches are over a maximum of 15 heats not 16

and did you mean native Americans or Indians, i.e. someone from India?

So the three teams in the final have worked out a way more of their supporters can see part of the final, and i would imagine make more money out the final as well think these three teams need to be in charge of how the league is run

I think its a good idea to change it, each track should make money with a large crowd, instead of getting a cut of a small gate, and more people will be able watch their team in cup final. Not all changes are bad

A qualified Doctor

He doesn't seem to have progressed at all from his time at Sheffield in 2019

He likes throw away comments, look at any Sheffield thread to see

do we now get apologies from panthers fans for the comments made after the postponement of the match at Sheffield?

Should have been Mountain, not Sedgeman being busy tonight

Always been 4-3-2-0

Beware of the sun, it gets hot that far south See you Friday

Not this year its not, they are on strike

Yes it will

Thanks

How do the track staff repair damaged posts that presumably need digging out and replacing, a bit to specialised for volunteers

what time does this start?

So we should have had a construction team on standby, in case any unforeseen matters occurred, they they could have worked all Tuesday night, sure the local residents would have loved the noise, and if filled in a hole dug by a utilities company you would be in serious trouble, as well as the potential danger

Yes we should have ran the meeting at Scunthorpe, problem solved they were assured the work would be completed, it was, but no one expected the damaged fence posts, and why should you

How can the buck stop with the promotion, it wasn't their fault the work overran and then damaged the fence posts as well Its like saying it was Belle Vues fault Monday was rained off, they knew the rain was forecast, so should they have started an hour earlier and got the meeting finished, after all the buck stops with the promotion no matter what the fault is

Agree with that, but this is speedway, we booked to see Sheffield at Edinburgh a few seasons ago, only for it to be postponed and they rode against Glasgow instead, still had a good weekend however, it isn't only Sheffield who do this So perhaps all travelling supporters need to be wary, no matter where are booking for

Again the speedway is not responsible for the dog track, any more than Peterborough Speedway is responsible for what goes on there

Yes, i am sure loads will turn up tomorrow night thinking there is racing and then find out there isnt

Try reading this post from someone with no axe to grind The way I understand this is that the work on the greyhound track finished last night and the speedway had access from today and they found several safety fence posts damaged and needing work / replacing. This gives them less than 48 hours before tomorrows match to find a contractor to possibly break out the posts, concrete in new ones, allow the concrete to cure / harden and then re-hang the safety fence and possible have to have a track inspection of the works carried out before they can race. I am no track expert but I have worked in construction and to get a contractor, get all that work done and signed off in under 48 hours is a tall order which I think the management realise hence the early call off. Give the management team a break I'm sure they want to lose a race day even less than we do, especially for rectification a problem that is no fault of there's. Yes all the fault of Sheffield Speedway, they should have re-laid the dog track faster than they did, without damaging the fence posts, or perhaps it wasn't the speedway that were relaying the dog track, perhaps you never thought of that Maybe they shouldn't have the British Final at Belle Vue anyway because it rains a lot in Manchester, as Monday night proves

Two and a half weeks away and still nothing, this really is a complete shambles
