Who can forget Belinda Carlisle miming.

Got to agree with you, after looking as though Buxton were going to get hammered at the start of the meeting, to come back and make a meeting of it, in what was racing in pretty hard conditions. Heat 11 was a fantastic advert for National League speedway, Jason Garrity doing what he does best winding the throttle on,.but you have to admire the intelligent riding from Rob Branford great riding from a lad so young.

The weather at the moment is not looking to great in Sheffield 6.

Well I am going.

Cannot wait for Zielona and Leszno match, hoping that the Falubaz can beat Leszno.

Sorry Ladyluck, Thank you.

If he does he will need an extra beer.

Thanks for posting the link Mateusz, and I can say that "I was there."

Know Jason since he was 11 years old, when he used to ride at the Sheffield Training Track and even then you could see the potential in the lad, with a capital P. He has had his problems but he has sorted himself out and he has turned into a really cracking level headed lad. I spoke to him just after Christmas, and Squall has spoken to recently and Jason appears to have a plan and Belle Vue have been looking after him. Like Sqaull says he is more than capable of been a success in the Premier League but any move up would have to be right for Jason, and I don't think it will be a case of the first team that comes in or the highest bidder.

Slightly off topic, but please Vog can you find it in yourself to come to a meeting at Sheffield. Your mate Squall is missing you terribly, I swaer that he was close to tears when he told us how much is was missing you. Thank you please return back to the topic.

Missed opportunity there, could have got him to sign your sling.

Don't encourage him, I have enough of that on a Thursday night.

You saw the old man walking down the street.

I think that either one of his parents or grandparents were born in this country.

Remember it well, four and half hours back to Sheffield soaking wet on the coach back to Sheffield.

Good win for the Aces, surely a Premier League club is going to pick up young Jason Garrity sooner oe later. Bit worrying about Paul Cooper's score, but I am sure that he will come good, and nice to see Ashley The Works Birks putting in yet another fine performance.

I suppose it depends on who is available both Worrall twins are also in the line up, who would have been ideal replacements.

I am not so sure, I think that he probably stay as an asset of Scunthorpe club, riders transfering to other clubs is becoming a rarity these days more likely that if the lad does decided that Sheffield is more suited to him then Scunny will take a loan fee for him. That could provide Mr Godfrey with a nice sideline for him as he has an abundance of young talent on his books.

Would be hoping to get over for at least one of the matches, will certainly be supporting the joint team at Sheffield. I would imagine that the there will a decent contigent from Sheffield as Coops is very popular with the Sheffield crowd, and Ash The Works Birks is proving to be very popular as well.

Of course June, I track back to riders that Sheffield brought in from the past from Scunthorpe Keith Evans and Tony Boyle are two that spring to mind. The clubs have a long history of working together, long before Neil Machin and Rob Godfrey came onto the scene. The thing is that the National League (Conference as it was then) is not new to Sheffield we did have a very fine set up with the Prowlers who were very much the Saints of that time, but because we did not have the facilities and have the ownership of the stadium that Scunthorpe have and finances mean't that the Prowlers had to go. I don't know what the agreement that the two promotions have over signing riders, I am sure that Sheffield might pick up the odd rider, but down to the facilities and amount of track time that a rider might get at Scuthorpe that the vast majority will choose Scunthorpe. I can fully understand the worries of some of the Scunthorpe fans, but Neil is type of Promoter who thinks very similar to Rob Godfrey, and always encourages young British rider. Just a thought maybe call the joint team simply "Saints", keeps it identity from Scunthorpe but does not have to change the name from Scunthorpe Saints to Sheffield Prowlers dependent on where they are riding.

I think that we need to look at the history between Scunthorpe and Sheffield. In years gone by when Sheffield were a British League team and Scunthorpe National League Sheffield sent riders to ride for Scunny, who from that era were Scunny legends, Phil White and Nicky Allott spring to mind, and I am sure there were others but those two are the main ones. Since the formation of the Scorpions in the National League Sheffield have also sent riders for Scorpions in the National League, and wonder how many Scorpion fans celebrated the Pairs win in 2006, when they won with two Sheffield riders Cooper and Compton. Moving onto the Scorpions in the Premier League, Sheffield have provided Scunthorpe 6 of their assets since 2008, Richard Hall, Benji Compton, Emiliano Sanchez, Andy Moore, Joel Parsons and Ben Wilson. Moving on to the present, this is an excellent chance for the lads who are in the team, not only are they riding two totally different tracks, but I believe Sheffield are entering a team in the Midland League, which will give further opportunties to lower end riders in the team, and racing other tracks that are entered in the league I believe that likes of Leicester and Birmingham are also entered so more racing opportunites for young riders, which is what the youngsters need more than anything else.

Bucking the trend then, seems to be the other way around these days.

Might thoughts exactly, I think that when the fixture was orginally set Bluejam was looking at this one as its the closest to our base, so I would think that it could be well within the radar.
