  1. we've left ourselves with a good total from that meeting. 8 points is more than achievable round owlerton. With team we've got it was always built to have success at home, can't be surprised especially away from home when we suffer st the reserve berth, it's how we've built the 7 and we also have to consder Gilkes is coming back from an injury. With time and patience I can see us doing well and should be there or there abouts by end of the season.
  2. Giving off a very different tone from Sheffield drawing away to Birmingham compared to when your own team gets run close by them around your own track...
  3. Not bothered by the swearing personally. Was nice to see the riders showing their personalities. But clearly as shown on this thread it wasn't appreciated by everyone and we do have to keep in mind speedway does have an older fan base who are evidently a bit more sensitive to some foul language. Some small bits to work on for the future media days, but I do hope they continue beyond this season. A step in the right direction and a lot of credit needs to be given to Phil Morris and the team involved.
  4. I think for as much good publicity as Liebmann has brought, it's left the team terribly unbalanced. A lot of pressure on 4 riders on their first season of championship racing.
  5. It was a toss up between Sheffthorpe or Scuntffield. Just felt Scuntffield was most appropriate.
  6. Glad to see us back in the National league and hopefully coming back for our title from many years ago
  7. Apart from the fact Kemp was on the rising star list for 2022. If wolves can do it back then, theres nothing stopping Sheffield in 2024
  8. Didn't stop wolves having Kemp & Flint. So don't see why not.
  9. Howarth and Picko announced. Great top 5, but think we'll end up exposed at reserve with more than likely Edwards and Gilkes at reserve.
  10. I'm sure they'll get over it. Ipswich fans are well known on this forum for not holding grudges.
  11. I'd rather have both. But if you held a gun to my head and made me choose, I'd go woffinden over Tobi. Musielak is a fantastic racer and no doubt he's always given 110% for us. But I feel like woffy gave a bit more with how he team rode and didnt just go for fresh air. And though it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me, woffinden does bring that star treatment. Definitely seemed there was more at Owlerton after we'd signed him.
  12. Personally think Berwick need a massive overhaul. As much as it can be tempting in a rumoured weakened league to sign up some of the riders from the season gone, there's a reason they're on that average, because they were crap. Only really Leon and Coles I reckon should be back, maybe Etheridge for his efforts in the play offs for Sheffield
  13. Much worse things have been said at speedway tracks. If Woffy wants to be back, I'm sure Sheffield will more than welcome to having him back.
  14. Could be another factor in Jack could be wanting to focus on the GPs and will also have the pressure of Lublin being in the play offs, and as we all know, if Poland say jump riders respond "how high".
  15. Bloody hell, I thought I'd accidently logged onto the BNP forum with all this "these bloody foreigners steelin' British jobs" rubbish. A change was needed, Adam had a lot of expectation on him this season and unfortunately it's not been met, I don't think anyone can deny that and it's hard to see a rider we all know is capable struggling. Hopefully some time off will do him some good and he can refocus and come back stronger, whether that be for Sheffield or another side. Lewi has been victim of averages. Which is a shame as he has been a constantly good performance and was forming good rides with woffy when they were paired together. Sort of Glad to see he's been immediately been picked up by Leicester, but could prove a real thorn in ours side if we meet Leicester at any point in the play offs.
  16. You lot are some some absolutely weird people, and I genuinely cannot believe I'm answering this on a speedway forum. But as someone who works in the sector I can answer this question. As anyone changing their name, whether that be through marriage or deed poll, the person can continue to use their card whilst they wait for their new card in their correct name to come through and is only usually active for a set period of time.
  17. Clearly no intention of trying to win back the fans this season. What a lot of hard work undone so fast by the berwick promotion.
  18. We're over limit with holder in team. So wouldn't be possible.
  19. Can't see how we're going to fit in Tai, Jack and Tobi realistically. Would take dropping either picko and Ellis for tai and a 2 point rider or making 3 changes.
  20. Well there's your first problem. You're comparing 2 completely different levels of sport, which is completely unfair. The Ektraliga is the most professionally run league of the speedway world, because its the best paid speedway league in the world and the best attended speedway league in the world. For them racing in one league pays well enough for that to be their full time job. For a good amount of Biritish riders its either racing in multiple leagues or having it as a part time job. And these riders are massively important in the current state of speedway, there's less riders to go around so obviously the sport needs to give them some incentive to keep racing. If you keep giving less, then dont expect riders to show up and put their lives on the line. I agree to an extent guests do need to be used less, the situation with Kennett was a farce last season, but Poole using Complin is no different to whats been happening for at the very least the last 2 decades of the sport running and is far down the list of things the sport needs to fix.
