The Third Man

Quite a few people in various threads were convinced that the result would be fixed, although some are now denying it

Good job we got there first then

Yet all within the rules, and any team could do it

Yes but doesn't come into force until the 31st

Think every PL team will be after him next season, his third ride at Sheffield was very good on Thursday

Sorry 28th, but the point is the same

Tai has increased crowds where he has gone, why would promoters not want that to happen, and what has been done, will be done, that is outside the rules?

But Tai will score a lot more than Ellis, 18 more at Peterborough, suppose they are hoping for the top 4 to carry them through, We will have to wait and see

So Louis states that the window closes on the 31st, then moans about teams making changes before the 31st Don't get it

But you said Sheffield wouldn't be allowed to win, i will let others decide what that statement meant

Most likely, but you can ask on here and they will be able to tell you all of the results for the rest of Sheffield's and Leicester's matches, as they are all fixed already

So you were wrong, no match fixing after all, any chance of an apology to the Bates family

that wore well

Because he seems to have an obsession that the Bates family are cheats

You wont convince anyone of this when the original was rained off, apparently it was because Sheffield had a weakened team, Tai couldn't ride and so Holder was going to be replaced by a NL rider, and Sheffield needed to win, now its the other way round Some people have it in for the Bates family for some reason and will have already made their minds up on the result, I'm surprised they cant tell us who is going to score what points

Didn't say we don't have to try, only that it isn't a must win situation

So we have had Leicester's win at Sheffield was so that Leicester could qualify for the play offs and now Sheffield will lose at Leicester so that they can qualify for the play offs love these accusations of match fixing

Don't state the facts on here no one is interested, the anti Bates lobby on here is quite massive

its not a must win for Sheffield, we only have to win our two home matches to match Ipswich's maximum points total, and we have a much bigger points difference

unless Conner Mountain has changed his name to Ryan Douglas it appears Sheffield aren't using him after all

Why do people on here keep accusing the Bates family of match fixing? there have been posts about this on various threads now and it is getting tedious as well as potentially illegal its no wonder they want to sell Leicester when this is all they get, if they decide just to pull out of Leicester and Sheffield at the end of the season due to all the comments they receive i wouldn't blame them

All we need to do to get to the playoffs is win our home meetings and then we go above Ipswich on points scored

Number 5 faces Doyle and Sayfutdinov twice, 3 and 4 only once, so save your second best rider to try and beat the others

Sheffield had a win at all costs attitude in last season's play offs? i was obviously watching the wrong matches

Sheffield were not helped by Steads decision not to use Tai in heat 7 for Ellis, that would have meant he could go out in 9, 11, 13 & 15 Much better that going out in 9, 11, 12, 13 & 15 for Tai, didn't understand that decision at all If it means dropping Ellis and one other, we must do it to get Tai in, cant be any weaker than we are now
