Cue Ball

Schlein should get a ban for that little stunt The pat on the back from his mechanic and the big grin on his face in the pits is pretty disgusting and disrespectful to those who have paid to watch. Made worse by Kurtz popping out of the gate and getting the fastest time of the night so far... track can’t be that bad. Have always liked Rory, but have just lost a lot of respect for him

And Broc has just taken a trip to hospital from Leicester...

Any word on whether we can have a guest for Kyle?

Not a good meeting from a Sheffield perspective - if Bowtell hadn’t taken a dislike to the back straight fence, Scunny would have been deserved winners. Still not really sure how we managed to win to be honest!!

Looks like we might possibly both be a man down for this fixture. Howarth and Garrity both failed to make it past turn 1 at Redcar in the British semi and have headed to hospital, fingers crossed they’re both ok

Any news on Drew? Birmingham surprised me for the first half of the meeting by keeping up with us, but the second half was a different story and having heat leaders made the difference for the Tigers. Made me chuckle when the announcer before heat 13 said something about the battle of the big guns and I overheard a Brummie supporter complaining because they didn’t have any!!

Ah, the old, “I didn’t go, but it was a crap meeting” trick They were young lads racing, it was never going to be GP standard, but I thought it was alright. I didn’t have any problems getting change at the turnstile, cafe or when I bought my programme. You would obviously have a better idea of whether the bar was open or closed from your armchair than me as I didn’t venture upstairs, so will concede to you on that point.

Not a bad meeting, despite the gulf between some of the riders. Why did Scunny let List go?!? Looked bloody fast today and only ended up second because of a very determined ride by Jordan Stewart in the final

Heat 15. Wowsers. Hats off to all 4 riders, talk about saving the best until last!

Does anybody know how much the picture got auctioned off for in the end?

I don’t think Bates’ fitness or attitude will be a concern for Sheffield. He’s riding for Leicester

3 weeks until tapes up

Did anybody go on Wednesday night? Any good?

Already signed I believe. Damian said last night ‘the seven riders we have signed’ and in a separate conversation Peter Mike said that the team was sorted

Happy with that. Howarth and Nicol to finish would give a nice balance of youth, experience and potential

Proctor and King to Sheffield

Bates signed for Leicester- happy with that, think he will be a risk to have in the team personally

4pm start time Bad enough being on a Sunday (I know and grudgingly accept the reasons), but why 4pm?? Seriously limits what you can do during the day and cocks up family time for me at home. Wife and kids attend very occasionally and that ain’t going to change just because it’s on a Sunday, and now I will miss our main meal. That’s aside from the fact that day time racing tends to be crap and that the atmosphere tends to be as flat as a fart. Disappointing.

Brilliant signing!

Next signing tomorrow morning

Agreed, unlikely to be Lawson after last year. King has the connection with the promotion via Leicester and so is probably the more likely of the 3. I like Schlein but he has had some horrible injuries over the past couple of years and isn’t as young as he used to be. One to be missed I think

Didn’t Ty take a year out a couple of years ago so that he could get a residents visa or something? The year after he got kicked of the country whilst riding for us

Place your bets on who the new no.1 will be...
