I think its really only one Poster is has said he would not have Adam back, and he is entitled to his or her opinion. I think they will be disappointed as reading between the lines Adam wants to be back and the club want him back as well. And I would say that the vast majority of fans want him back at Sheffield.
-
22 races out of 84.
-
Not interested in what happens at Scunny. So for the record he fell 4 times in 88 races. Twice at Kings Lynn and Twice at Wolves (Same meeting). One of the falls at Kings Lynn was caused by the chain snapping. So only 3 falls caused by rider error. Would hardly describe him as a prolific faller.
-
How many times did fall riding for Sheffield?
-
Replace Erik Riss with Jack Holder Replace Anders Rowe with Stefan Nielsen . And your talking.
-
I think a lot will depend upon whether or not he is still classed as a Rising Star. If he is not classed as a Rising Star then I think I prefer Stefan Nielsen.
-
I totally agree with the 6 man teams, especially with the shortage of quality riders.
-
which 3 championship clubs folded. Eastbourne was would appear to be due to Mis- Management, reputed to be returning in 2023 Kent appears to be down to new stadium owners increasing the rent and the Promoter not feeling he could afford to carry on with the rent increases, still given extra time to find a Promoter to take it on. (But not likely to happen) I would not say that Birmingham have folded there seems to be consortium that seem to really interested to keep Birmingham running. So I make that at this present moment Eastbourne temporary not running Kent more than likely to fold. Birmingham a reasonable chance to see them running next year.

But you made the point that Promoters from other clubs were picking the bones of Eastbourne speedway. It is on record from the riders that they had not been paid and were owed money. What is so wrong with clubs coming in and offering those riders jobs at their clubs. At the end of the day the problem at Eastbourne is down a certain party as I see , I fail to see how the BSPL can be held accountable for one parties poorly run business. As you point out its not just riders who have been duped there are many others, and I am not saying the BSPL are perfect far from it, but to lay the blame and to criticize them for taking riders from the then defunct team at Eastbourne. One thing that they surely need to do is to have a better vetting system when giving out Promoter liscenses.

Nightmare signings
spin king replied to dontforgetthefueltapsbruv's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
For me. Sam Masters Richie Worrall Claus Vissing Bjarne Pedersen Ben Barker Kenneth Bjerre Corey Gathercole -
Disappointed to see that the Championship clubs have dumped the Rising Star programme. For me riders need to be able to progress through the league and to do this the programme has to run through all of the leagues. So it is looking like only 6 teams in the Premiership So with one Rising Star for each team these are the riders that should be the 6 Rising Star, Leon Flint Tom Brennan Jordan Palin Anders Rowe Drew Kemp Dan Thompson I would then like to see reserve list, these riders will cover Guest appearances for the above riders, retirements or riders dropped. Dan Gilkes Joe Thompson Jason Edwards Henry Atkins Jack Parkinson Blackburn Connor Bailey

Sure I have seen that he has signed Daugavpils. So he would be allowed to ride in two other league's. UK Poland Sweden
-
Because they need more teams in the Premiership. Poole are the obvious choice from the Championship. They have the rider assets and the support.
-
Poole to move back into the Premiership. Jack Holder to Poole Jason Doyle to Sheffield.
-
Only ever been to 2 STAARS meetings. They usually have at least one person from the club attend, Peter Mole is nearly always there. They have had some sort of Q/A when I have been but like I say I have only ever been twice.

Premiership race nights.
spin king replied to SteveLyric2's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
You mean Leicester and Sheffield swapping league's. -
Not the full package? Only Jack Holder, Dan Bewley and Sam Masters managed the higher average last season. 50% of all his rides for Sheffield were either winning races or paid wins. He is British and qualifies for a reduction on his average. He is on record as wanting to comeback to the club next season He will do for me.

Very difficult to work out a team for next until we have make up of the league's and points limit. But of the riders we used this season. Jack Holder 8.68, I would keep for next season, has stated that he wants to continue riding in the UK, but a lot will depend on the Poles top league and where they will stipulate where riders will be allowed to ride. Adam Ellis 7.92, Again I would keep him, he wants to stay and the Promotion appear to want him back Josh Pickering 7.06 Again I would like him to stay, became a massive crowd favourite. Kyle Howarth 6.04, Jury out, I think we need to see what the points limit is and what riders may be available. Troy Batchelor 5.57 On such a low average I would be tempted to say yes, but I don't think having Sheffield as a home track, so for let him go. Stefan Nielsen 3.00 On that average and what I saw of him last season, would definitely sign him up. Danyon Hulme Rising Star, Did well, but I would like to explore other options let him go. So those definite starters for me would be; Jack Holder 8.68 Adam Ellis 7.92 Josh Pickering 7.06 Stefan Nielsen 3.00 Total 26.66 Based on 36 points and a Rising Star. That would leave us 9.34 for the last two spots. So I would go with Jake Allen 4.80 Ben Cook 4.00 Rising Star Dan Thompson

Belle Vue -V- Sheffield POSF 2nd leg
spin king replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Quick question. Assuming both Peterborough and Belle Vue win through to the Play Off Final. Would they then be able to use Sheffield and Wolves riders as Guest's in the Final. -
Belle Vue -V- Sheffield POSF 2nd leg
spin king replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Looking what is available to replace injured Kurtz, R/R is the best way forward. Been able to use Bewley, Worrall twins and Wright, the team should be able to cover Kurtz's points rather than bringing a Guest replacement. -
That is very sad news, lets hope that this is not a false promise.

Sheffield vs Belle Vue 30/09/21 POSF 1st leg
spin king replied to LisaColette's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well Done Belle Vue, I cannot see us pulling this one out of the bag, we were for the big underdogs to win the play offs, so was not expecting us to win this Semi. But I thought we could have at least win the home leg. This result sums up our season inconsistent. If as I suspect Peterborough win the Semi I can see Belle Vue beating them over two legs in the Final. As for Jack Holder not shaking hand or acknowledging opponents after the race frankly I don't care, as long as he is racking up the points for the team and acknowledger's the crowd I am happy. And hopefully we can have Jack back in the team next season. Add Adam Ellis, Josh Pickering and Stefan Nielsen to the team sheet next season. Lets see what the points limit is for next season who I think that we need to add to the team. Finally good luck to the Aces for the Final, and hopefully they can get that Play Off Final win. -
King's Lynn v Sheffield 09/09/21
spin king replied to Bald Bloke's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Jack Thomas has been showing some decent form lately. With Nielsen riding well above his current Premiership average the riders available for us to use as Guest replacements is very limited. And they are unlikely to score the points that Stefan would have potentially scored.
