The Third Man

Sheffield finished top of the league last season, i didn't complain that we weren't league champions because i knew before the season started that who ever won the playoffs won the league why we have to go through this at the end of every season i don't understand, if you don't like the rules don't enter the competition, if you do enter it, don't complain about the rules at the end

So here we go, Sheffield don't deserve to be in the final because half their team got injured and it rained last night just before Wolves were going to mount a great comeback and win on the night and win on aggregate

Forecast not great, depends whether it rains at the stadium i suppose been dry all day so should take some rain

Of course they are, that's why we told them both to get injured so we could have guests, your not getting the conspiracy theory at all are you

Yep we signed Vissing, got him deliberately injured and then paid him not to ride when he was fit again and possibly paid him not get a winners medal if Glasgow with the play offs Sheffield must be made of money

More conspiracy theory's So Sheffield signed Vissing knowing he would get injured so that he couldn't ride for us and we could have guests its a shame we didn't know how Tai would be injured, we could have warned him to be more careful at Cardiff, then we would still have him riding for us, need a new crystal ball obviously

Of course we wont, bet he doesn't even try for us

Except we weren't because who ever won the play offs won the league, he obviously forgot that Sheffield were top of the league last season i don't mind if Sheffield went down as league winners last season and Belle Vue this, it means i saw Sheffield win the top league for the first time last year, so i don't have to worry about whether we win the play offs this year not

So obviously you don't want us to replace Jack, Tobi and Dan, so that leaves us with four riders, that would have been good for business Wolves have been lucky with injuries, we haven't, so that means we don't deserve to win the play offs, so presumably what we should have done when Jack got injured was withdraw from the league and let Wolves win the play offs because they have been luckier than us with injuries that seems like a good reason to be league champions

Easy 10 rides for him

Rather have rr than fricke

i think Eurosport might be part of the problem, they want to show a good product for their advertisers and subscribers, so may have an input into the apparent rule changes, he who pays the piper and all that

Don't understand where you are coming from, we are allowed to change riders during the season that's in the rules, three changes have been made due to injuries, what do you want us to do, ride as a four man team we all knew when the season started that who ever finished top of the league finished top of the qualifying competition, the league winners are the team that wins the play offs, the same as it was last season when the team that finished top of the league didn't win the league if the teams don't like the rules they shouldn't compete in the competition, its as simple as that

We did rubbish at Ipswich, and we didn't have any ringers either, just guests who are allowed under the rules

Haven't seen any Belle Vue fans supporting the situation either, quite ironic as well

Buxton

We cant afford to lose any more riders, maybe why Howarth not riding

i have not got a clue how we have got Lambert, the same way as i still don't have a clue how Belle Vue got him last year,

Love to have jack holder next thursday

Because we cant afford squads

Like i asked, what should Sheffield do, ride with two juniors? Or as they would also be guests perhaps a five man team would be better

Guests have part of speedway all the time i have been going, since 1968, and during that time the sport has been taken very seriously, so its not guests that are the main problem Everyone says get rid of them but no one comes up with a viable alternative, do people really want Sheffield to ride with two juniors instead of their two best riders? We did our best when Holder got injured, only for his replacement to then get injured, so its not a though we wanted guests, it was just speedway

Max back on for cup and play offs

Musielak is staying at Sheffield, needs to be first name on team sheet

Then why did BV have to threaten legal action
