Because to join the Premier League they must have a track and stadium of their own.

I think the days of describing The National League as a Development league have long gone. While ever the league is made up of teams that have differing Agenda's, where you have teams that are stand alone teams or teams that are basically 2nd teams of senior teams. I do find it very funny that the more complaints come from the likes of Stoke, Rye House and Scunthorpe. Stoke have used Tony Atkin for the last two seasons who is nearly as old as me. Rye House David Mason And Scunthorpe who have an abundance of young talent at their finger tips at the start of the season were prepared to use Jason King As for Joe Haines riding in the short term replacement for Adam Roynon, well he is rider who is or has been putting his career back on track, and the thing he needs is extra rides, and I find it more frustrating to see the riders above getting place or been given the opportunity rather than Joe taking some rides on a very short term basis.

Sheffield V Newcastle Pl Thursday 6th Sep 2012

Remember that in the KOC there is no tactical rides a team goes so far behind they can pull points back in the league. In saying that this is our last home fixture, and I think that the riders will be determined not finish their home fixtures with a loss.. We also have Joe Haines returning at reserve who has been scoring decent points over the last couple of points. I will take Sheffield to win by 6. . -

Now done and posted on the Speedway Gneral Discussions Board. -
Well its soon be that time again PLRC is coming up. And that means the 4th annual meet up at the New Barrack Tavern which is just down the road from the stadium. This is a chance from fans from all clubs to meet up and celebrate the season, and has proved very popular and gives friends old and new chance to spend time together and share some good natured banter, and a bit of a sing song. We have the top six prediction challenge that all fans can enter with a cash prize. Squall will be on hand to video any funny moments The main thing it is a time for fans to have a fun afternoon you can come when you want and stay as long as you like, and all differences are left at the pub door. The pub does an excellent carvery at a very reasonable price. So if feel like having a fun afternoon before the Premier League's Blue ribbon event feel free to come along I am sure you will enjoy it , ideally we would like to see fans from all clubs. Fans who have already said they are coming. Spin King (Sheffield) Spin King Junior (Sheffield) Squall (Sheffield) Paulco (Glasgow) Drac (Redcar) Pat Sharp (Redcar) Youngy (Belle Vue) Bluejam (Birmingham) I am sure that there will be plenty more who will be accepting invitations nearer the time. And I will give directions to the pub nearer the time..

No more disgraceful than buying a chicken burger, asking for no mayo and finding when you get it that they have put mayo on it. Now that would be enough for anybody to kick off. -

Or they could Choose to put the smile back on your face and sign Simon Lambert. Do a deal with stadium owners and get free car parking for the best car park in British Speedway. Ban Halifax Tiger from the raffle to give everyone else a chance to win the raffle. Get a new Track side Presenter. And re-open the bar on bend 1 so that I don't so much of the beer. And Neil Machin gives you a tenner every week to buy a drink for a change.. -
Sheffield Vs Berwick 30/8/12
spin king replied to squall's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I will agree that this season has been poor, but to claim that the club has been steadily going downhill over a number of seasons is not true. Last season we finished second in the league, and fourth the year before hardly suggests the club has been going steadily downhill. Will be interesting to see what the Promotion do next season. -

Well my nomination for Team Manager would go to Halifax Tiger. He has an excellent winning mentality (he won the raffle yet again at Birmingham last night) He has those lucky shorts, not only does it shower some look on the team, but also with those legs bound to bring in a large contingent of females who would come just see Tiger's legs. And he is good at filling in a programme. Has to be a done deal.. -

Congratulations to Bandits, end of the day the best team on the night won. Nice to meet up with my Bandits friends again. Also a big well done to the track staff for getting the meeting on apparent certain part of the track had been under water, not that you would have guess looking at the track before the meeting started. And some of the Sheffield riders need to take a long hard look in the mirror at themselves then look at Chris Schramm, because that guy puts in 100% every race and has no luck. Been a long hard season supporting the Tigers this season, roll on 2013. And again Well Done The Bandits. Any one know if its still raining in Scunthorpe. -
Just goes to show that testimonial meetings are been given willy nilly. Not sure but I think that Promoters have to apply for the BSPA on the riders behalf, and they sanction these meetings. Reading between the lines sounds to me that maybe Matt Ford has used the meetings as a deal clincher to get KK over to ride for the Pirates this season. For me it is completely wrong like people say and looking at my own club Ricky Ashworth gave Sheffield 10 years unbroken service.

Still raining at Sheffield, but the forecast is good showers till 1.00pm, and then the rain stops and sun shine from 6.00 pm onwards. Generally they reckon providing the rain stops by dinnertime the track will be okay. -

Quick question,or clarification of the rules; Alden is not injured or riding in a FIM meeting, should Berwick be allowed a facility. I thought in cases like this teams were only allow to cover with a National League Guest. -
