  1. Eh? Congrats to Glasgow. Wasn't there but judging by the score they we're the best team on show
  2. I think we've got a massive chance to win this again. Doesn't need me to say that Ashworth goes really well around Somerset, almost as good as he goes around Sheffield! And Parker should put in a good performance too, he rode there last season so he should know the track well enough and he'll be wanting some silverware with this being his last season. But we have got some tough competition from Glasgow and Somerset, either could be on top form tonight and could win the pairs if luck goes their way. Best of luck to the Sheffield pair tonight. Bring the title home
  3. But everyone knew the format before the season starts, so it'd be unfair on the likes of Plymouth and it's to be told they can't enter the pairs though they have got through rightly within the rules they've set and agree upon this season. At the end of the day you've missed, I'd rather have Ipswich or Newport in the competition but that's the way it goes unfortunately. I think what we should be looking for is that next year for the format to change so we don't see this problem raising it's ugly head again. I just hope that this doesn't carry on after he event and doesn't overshadow the winners of the pairs or i'd certainly say there's some sour grapes about
  4. Actually they take the averages from the 1st of June which means Barkers average is 9.50 and Buynans would be 8.05.
  5. Good performance from the Prowlers in both meeting, with a little bit of help from Redcar! Obviously the conditions had an impact on the quality of racing but we did have the odd few races which we're spectacular! Have to say it's a welcomed change to see the odd National league meeting at Owlerton and I for one really hope the connection between the two clubs continue on to next season
  6. I'd be absolutely fine with it as i would have the tigers to follow week in, week out and still get a small amount of national racing. I think the main reason I'm frustrated is because there's been a perfectly good reason set out and whether we like it or lump it, they're a business first. At this time I'm just glad I've got 1 team to follow! and I'm very grateful of our own management for keeping the Tigers going I have a lot of respect for Rob Godfrey, he's built a successful speedway venue from the ground up and one of the most exciting speedway tracks. But at a time when speedway isn't as profitable as it once was and when everyone's feeling the pinch to save money then it's understandable for him to take the help from Sheffield and take some weight off his shoulders. I'm sure it's not a decision he wanted to make but it'll probably be for the best in the long run.
  7. But it's purely for financial reasons! if the club would've carried on losing money with the Saints then they may be no saints at all and i think it's unfair to expect the management to try and keep two clubs afloat. I think some of you need to realize just how lucky you are you've got your own track, training track, the scorpions and still get a bit of national league racing as well, i bet plenty of fans who're without a teams would kill to be in the position your in , but it just isn't enough is it?
  8. Well the way I'd see is would you rather have 5 National league meetings or none at all? By the sounds of it the Saints have never been financially successful and unfortunately in these times it's a difficult time to keep 2 teams running on a profit. There's obviously more positives for Sheffield rather than Scunthorpe but nevertheless there was a reason for doing so and IMO it's the right one to keep a National league team going
  9. Try looking at the Birmingham team, they're using only one of their assets as well . I agree with you about winning the league, the sides got plenty of potential with the Worrall twins and Birks in the mix but have probably the best number 1 and captain in the league, we've just got to hope he gets over his injury problems. Hopefully a good season for the Prowlers/Saints with plenty of silverware to follow. Actually what if we do win the league? who gets the trophy Maybe we'll cut it in half
  10. Best of luck Prowlers Saints Looks a very good meeting with plenty of potential in each teams. Could go either way.
  11. Excellent signing So glad that Coops has got a team place with Sheffield/Scunthrope and should be the top rider in the National league if he comes back from his injury. I wonder when the fixtures will be released I really can't wait to see what teams will be coming to Owlerton, hopefully we can have Stoke,Belle Vue,Kings Lynn and Buxton
  12. Good point I'd love to see national league racing full time at Sheffield again. I guess we'll find out more in tomorrows speedway star !
  13. Then what's the point in any meetings being at Sheffield I've already given a reason to change the name and with less tracks being available then why not give any possible chance to try and get another team going again?
  14. Why should it be the Saints if they're doing half of their meetings at Sheffield. Doesn't make much sense really. I think it'd be best if we went through a similar route to what Cradley did with Birmingham and Wolverhampton, give a team without a home another chance and see the possible revival of the Hull Vikings, maybe if they get enough Hull fans coming to the meetings then they could possibly get their own track again.
  15. Personally i don't think the team will be the Scunthorpe Saints if we take on half of the meetings this season. I hope we get the Vikings back .
  16. Websites here- But it'll cost you £29 not £19, it costs £19 when you book to stay on a Sunday.
  17. That gets my vote too!!! Just imagine it- the USA Oreos vs the Great British Rich teas
  18. Maybe you should make a few options then put it to a vote
  19. Personally i would prefer to see Ashworth in the PLRC, obviously as a Sheffield fan for me the more Sheffield riders the better. But we have to pick the riders fairly, that being the top 16 riders possible.
  20. Oh so it's like the updates? if you don't want to can't do them, then they get passed on to me! charming. And don't forget paper this year!
