  1. Gutted! Enjoyed watching the little Frenchman and don't think we got to see the best of the bigger version either
  2. Bellego to Swindon so that's him definitely out of our plans
  3. Announcements for Wolves and us... Howarth?
  4. Maybe coming to Sheffield could help with his eternal quest for speed
  5. Garrity has taken it that he won't be back according to his Facebook page
  6. It looks like that mistake has been made - Sheffield Star says that he is heading through the exit door...
  7. According to the Sheffield Star, we are in talks with Bates (who remains popular with the Owlerton faithful) and JPB who we are hoping to sign on a 2 point average... not sure how when he hasn't ridden in the league before and so my understanding was that he would be a 3
  8. Didn't see that one coming! A decent start to the team
  9. Schlein has said that he has done a deal in the U.K.
  10. According to the Sheffield Facebook page, they are putting the finishing touches to our first signing and will be announcing soon. Would guess JPB given it is fairly obvious he will be joining us and should be a straightforward deal to be done (you would think)
  11. Steady's steel shoe bent in half in a crash and hurt his foot - nothing broken as far as I'm aware. Not aware of an issue between Josh and Jason. Allegedly Jason fell out with Boocock, but he also allegedly had a van taken off him by a sponsor - neither of which he ever had, so who knows!! He has been in the pits with wrist strapped up helping Greaves for the past few home meetings.
  12. My bad!! Read it somewhere and didn't bother to check the facts... A very deserved victory for the Rebels, just glad that we kept it respectable for the first half of the meeting at least
  13. Whilst I agree with you that it should be Somerset's to lose, I suppose the question mark arises that people said that about Newcastle and then about Glasgow. All things considered, Sheffield shouldn't be in this meeting!!. Think we only lost by 10 earlier in the season and a couple of our riders have upped their game since then - it would only take a first bend tumble for Tungate or Josh G to make things considerably more difficult for the Rebels (I hope that doesn't happen, but it wouldn't be unheard of)
  14. Congratulations to the Rebels, a deserved win (although engine failures lost us the meeting arguably). A good meeting and particular thanks to Robson who rode his proverbials off all night.
  15. Just noticed that the Rebels have a guest at reserve - just in case we lose, can I complain in advance that it is unfair that they were allowed to use said guest and that it makes a complete mockery of the entire system, accordingly they should be made to forfeit the match or to compete with just 6 riders
  16. Would love Sheffield to win, but realistically (and deservedly so) it will be the Rebels. We beat them at home earlier in the season, but only because they lost 2 riders to injury during the meeting - we will be doing well to win the home leg unfortunately. That said, I thought that about Newcastle and Glasgow, so you never know!! Team work makes the dream work and all that....
  17. Not the guests I would have chosen... but I suppose Robson did a decent job for us at Newcastle 😜
  18. A small shower, nothing major or worrying. Stopped now. BBC forecast says no rain
  19. Maybe he doesn't think he was wrong.... Not saying that he was in the right, but nobody actually knows what Bach said to him to provoke him, his reaction would suggest that he wasn't asking him if had watched Eastenders last night. Not condoning his actions, but everybody does appear to be focussing on his reaction whilst glossing over the potential cause. As I've said elsewhere, not necessarily his biggest fan, but it isn't like him to lose his rag like that (especially on a night when with paid 16 he could rightly claim bragging rights)
  20. It may depend on if there were any mitigating circumstances- from what I have read, Bach had words with Bates after the race, but nobody seems to know what was said. It's not normally like Josh to lose his temper when he is riding well (which judging from his score he was) so something must have been amiss. Not Josh's biggest fan, mainly because he tends not to ride using his head, but he doesn't often get himself into bother
  21. An unbelievable result! Agreed it is a slightly hollow victory given our guest heavy team, but a win is a win. Also, I don't recall any comments from Newcastle fans about our top 2 being missing in the first leg being unfair. That said, do feel sorry for the Geordies who must have thought that this was going to be a stroll through to the next round (maybe that was the problem?)
  22. Just came on to say exactly the same thing. You do all the hard work for the last 6 months and have it undone in just a few races
