The Third Man

Well done Sheffield, the rain didn't have that much of an effect and there was some decent racing Went expecting us to lose on aggregate, but the scene was set in heat one and all seven riders kept up the pressure until heat 15 when we got the points needed, second time in six months i have seen a Sheffield team in a record breaking come back in the play offs well done to the guests all rode as though they wanted to win when they could have just gone through the motions, would rather have had Tai and Tobi but that's speedway hopefully if we get to next years final we can win it before heat 15, my nerves cant stand any more last heat deciders like that

Yes no wonder won we against Ipswich team who were a two man team, very unfair

Mad that we signed Vissing and he rode in meetings for us before he got injured, don't let the truth get in the way will you

yes we could have gone down with honour with only four riders in each match, did Wroclaw only have four riders in their match? you seem to forget that Ipswich only beat Belle Vue because of guests

He turned up in heat 15 last night, thats all that matters

And how many times did i read in the Ipswich threads that the supporters wanted to get rid of King & Riss, a weekly occurrence for quite a few weeks, but Sheffield were wrong to actually do it

We are working within the rules, Ipswich seem to have a problem with this because it gives us a chance

you are desperate to win this one aren't you, like i said i am sure Ipswich supporters would be happy with a four man Sheffield team to make sure you win

i think some Ipswich fans would be happier with us turning up with 4 riders tomorrow and no guests that would give you the victory you seem to want no matter what

i am not blaming anyone, its just some Ipswich supporters are moaning about Sheffield when it was two guests that got them to the final

or even an Ipswich trophy for winning the semi final using guests

So you think paying Tai and Holder a retainer for a season, hoping they wont be needed will be cheaper, don't forget when Tai and Holder are put into the team, we would need to sign other riders to make up the squad, we have 4 riders out injured, we would have needed an 11 man squad to cover them, then need another four riders to make up the squad back to 11 you think that would be cheaper than what we have done, if it was all teams would do it, none have

But that's the problem, there is no other sport like speedway when it comes to guests, i have asked a couple of times on here this week what the solution to guests is, the only answer i have had is have a squad, we all know that is not possible in British speedway So what is the solution?

Would have been a run off

Just for the record Jack Smith is a Glasgow asset not a Belle Vue one

Hope your right

Football has a 20 plus man squads, would need a lot of injuries before guests were required

Because he wasn't riding against Ipswich's heat leaders, easier as a guest to ride for the home team than the away team, he will score more at Sheffield than at Ipswich

and there is the start of another conspiracy theory

Well that must be the end for Polish speedway if you read some of the comments on here

That's just too sensible for some of the Ipswich fans to understand

and every team runs out of money

So i will ask again, what's the solution for Sheffield, and what should the solution for Ipswich in the semi final have been

i have asked this question in numerous topics, no one has replied with a solution except Sheffield shouldn't be allowed to be in the playoffs because of their injuries no comments from Ipswich supporters about them using two guests in one match against Belle Vue and one guest in the other Perhaps Belle Vue and Wolves should have been seeded to the final as they didn't need to use guests

we should have used Harris at Wolves and last night, he would have equalled Lawsons scores, but then everyone would be up in arms because Harris helped Sheffield and Ipswich qualify for the final, also the eight day rule stops us using Lawson and Mountain next Thursday and would have stopped us using Harris if we had used him last night, suspend that and people would be complaining With three riders injured Sheffield cant win in any situation
