Sheffield Tigers Vs Ipswich Witches - Thursday 28th August

[Gavan]

Can’t see Ipswich getting close especially without Ellis

Sheffield have good home track advantage and the way the track is with only one line a millimetre from the fence I don’t care what the result is as long as we get away unscathed

Consistent in what way 

[IainB]

Doing the SRBF collection before the match? After a heavy rain shower earlier... 🤔. Do I detect an incoming shambles?

Farcical 

[Youhave2minutes]

Slush racing

And that's why Speedway is finished in the UK, Got no chance of attracting new fans unfortunately.

No intention of getting the meeting on but they wanted to squeeze as much money out of the punters as possible so they left them standing around for an hour.

[Rob B]

So what happens with it now? Run it Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday or don't run it before play offs?

This is why shouldn't have had meeting in for next Thursday just have been blank just in case.

This is big Phil’s moment ! Sheffield out and Lynn with a return to the play offs 😂 can’t manage your own fixtures with half the season not riding at home then face the consequences! Didn’t this Shhht happen at Sheffield when other meeting at Lynn was called off the day before and everyone moaned but then people actually got to Sheffield, waiting, and got cancelled!

Moron. If you'd seen the effort of the track staff you'd have seen we wanted that meeting on. And what advantage does Sheffield have from not running it? Because I can tell you now having to hire out owlerton another night isn't cheap.

 

According to picko over intercom the ref listened to both sets of riders, some were good to give it a go and others weren't. Because they couldn't come to an agreement they've called it off.

[Manifesto]

absolute disgrace. I’m done with the sport after that. P!ss takers the lot 

[AceBelle]

Remember the so called NSS Aces v Sheffield Fiasco Woffinden going on social media complaining !!! well what goes around comes around !!!

Call me a moron all you like but the fact of the matter is this meeting had a 0% chance of going ahead no matter how much track work they done because certain riders were always going to dictate a call off.

I'm afraid if you're charging fans £25 to get into the stadium (not to mention £3 parking & £4 for a prog) and there's no further rain there is no excuse for not running the meeting!
