Getting a bit fed up now with the groundless insinuations about the Owlerton track being a danger. All speedway tracks have their moments of horror, but Owlerton is no worse than any other. This myth seems to have kicked off because Ben Cook had a shocker on bend two which knocked him senseless. But, to be fair, he was racing again ten days later. The only other accident of note at Sheffield during the 2024 season was the one which finished Emil Sayfutdinov's season, which occurred NOT on the allegedly "notorious" bend two, but on bend four, and was put down to Emil's over-exuberance to catch the race-leader (i.e. his own fault, rather than any fault of the track). Every venue has its share of bangs and scrapes every season, but nine times out of ten, riders get up and walk away, albeit licking their wounds rather gingerly. But for the record, the last time the Sheffield track saw a rider incur "life-changing" injuries was 2014, when Taylor Poole fractured a femur, causing him to draw a premature veil over his racing career (and that wasn't on bend two either). Speedway can be a dangerous sport at any venue and all tracks make every effort to ensure that rider safety is the paramount consideration. The problem is not helped by alarmist voices making baseless "wall of death" insinuations. 

Trying to remain hopeful here....clinging on to Adams's words that the 'new' signing will be at No.3 and possibly challenging for the No.1 spot? I still think it's Thorsell....but he definitely wont be a no.1 rider....I think Musielak will struggle to be a 'genuine' no.1 also! I think it's going to be another season of making up the numbers!

All the speculation about Thorssel & Nillson fizzled out ? So if we're in negotiations with a "third heat leader" does that mean an over the hill Zagar is expected to be our Number 2 ?  

Won a couple of world championships then turned his back on the UK. Has shown many times he has little respect for others and thinks he is above everyone.

He's also a bit of a "thug" who has very little respect for others,he is just one of several successful sportsmen who show total disregard for the rules & the people involved in the sport that gives them their living. Ronnie O'sullivan & Max Verstappen are two more examples.

"We have scoured the globe, left no stone unturned, etc etc etc"... "However no one was prepared to race over here at the moment, (and we asked some very top level riders)".. "Therefore, we have signed (fill in second string level riders name here), and feel that he, like the rest of the team, can put a point on their averages"... "Teams with strength in depth can often be very successful, Peterborough for example etc etc etc ." ..
