I think if Poole do follow their threat to go down a league then I can see some of their boys coming up North. josh G has rode for the Promotion and loves the tracks Brady Kurtz has done a large amount of Guest bookings for Sheffield and again loves the track I can see him link up with his older brother Todd. Again Jack Holder might fancy a move up North. I can Kyle Howarth stay at the club. Thats 4 names. Other who might fancy a ride for Sheffield. David Bellego Dimitri Berge Broc Nicol Ryan Douglas Charles Wright James Shanes Erik Riss Sam Masters Josh Bates

http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2805 So that's it then going up and a return to Thursday night racing.

Tai has gone on record that he will only race regularly on Weekends. Meaning GP and Poland. Monday to Friday for family time.

Only one of those will be possible.

I can understand Sheffield, there has been many supporters who have wanted Thursday racing back, and this can only be achieved by moving up. Berwick have always run Saturday nights so that does not make any sense. Kent runs Mondays but have a very early curfew how is that going to work for TV. I will believe this when the announcement come form the clubs themselves, until then for me it is pure speculation from another Promoter.

Interesting if we are, maybe we will be getting majority of the Poole 2019 team for us. Grajczonek Brady Kurtz Jack Holder Klindt I would imagine the possibly Howarth, and Todd Kurtz alongside one other rider.

Team definitely did not perform to expectations, the away form was abysmal and cost us dearly. I have not enjoyed this season, not just from a team point but also the sport has lost its spark for me. From a team perspective the racing was not up to scratch this season, as many have said Sunday afternoons have been a disaster, and its no surprise that the best meeting of the season for the racing was the lone Wednesday evening fixture Does the sport still hold the attraction it once did, have to say no, the fragmented fixture list and poor racing has made me question whether or not I want to keep going week in week out. Hopefully next season we will go back to week day speedway at Sheffield providing we have someone to actually run the club, and at the next AGM Promoters do something about the lack of fixtures.

I think we need to know what the points limit for teams will be for next season before we start looking who we are going to put in the team. I would not rule out the two top leagues merging into one league, one of the big gripes this season for many fans of clubs in the Championship has been the lack of fixtures and of course riders doubling up is another big gripe all round and has been for a number of years, merging the league would change all of that. Sheffield speedway is up for sale, but the Bates boys have said if a buyer is not found then Todd Kurtz will be the first name on the team sheet which would suggest that if a buyer is not found they will continue to run the club. One thing that I think has to happen whoever is running the club is that they ditch the Sunday afternoon racing has to be either Wednesday or Thursday night depending what league structure we race in. Personally I would go with either Macdonald or Kennedy at reserve alongside Drew Kemp. Second strings would be Kurtz and Nicol. I would go for a whole new heatleader trio possible targets I would look at; Erik Riss Ryan Douglas Jake Allen Adam Ellis Lewis Kerr Rasmus Jensen David Bellego Cameron Heeps Josh Pickering

I think eventually we will need to do something along the same lines as Poland if we are to build a network of future top class riders. Drew Kemp this season has paid the price of his very early success, at the very start of his career he has been thrust into position where he was not quite ready for the level of his career. The way he has stuck at it says a lot about the lads character, and I am sure that he will be successful in the future for whoever he rides for in the future.

While there is still a chance to make the Play Offs, and the opportunity arises that you can strengthen your teams chances then you should take that opportunity. And as things stand with the remaining fixtures that we have left I think that Nicol for Kemp gives us that extra bite away from home. This season taking away the heatleaders in the team Nicol has been our best rider away from home this season, and with 3 of the 4 remaining fixtures away from home it has been a very tough decision but one that we had to really make bringing in a rider who has rode well away from home at reserve. Also not forgetting the club is up for sale and the higher up the table the team finishes could be the difference on whether or not potential buyers will buy the club. Onto Drew Kemp personally I think the lad is credit to himself, his family and the team around him, in a season where we have seen younger riders retire or take a break from the sport Drew has kept plugging away and his determination to carry on this season deserves loads of credit. But this is sport and winning plays a big part and business is business.

Probably collectively the best Sheffield performance at home this season. We provided 10 of the 15 heat winners and every Sheffield rider bar Drew Kemp won at least one race. Cookie looked very subdued, and if he is going to retain the League Riders Championship he is going have to ride a whole lot better as Masters looks a far better bet. Rasmus Jensen only winning one race I don't think that has happened many times this season and doubt it will happen many times for the rest of the season. The other Jensen did better than his points suggest and Connor Bailey did well. Never seen Kyle Bickley do anything at Sheffield (I missed the KOC fixture), and after spending the best part of two season riding at reserve he should be at least getting some near to moving into the main body of the team to progress. Play Offs is a long shot for us the majority of remaining fixtures are away, and I don't think that we will pick up the necessary points to get in. Glasgow have probably done enough to get into the Play Offs already. But. Looking at the results and how teams have performed recently I would be rubbing my hands if I was a Redcar fans because I think they are the team that I believe come the Play Offs could take the title.

I assume nothing. I am merely pointing out what both statements say. The original statement stated that there had been several interested parties, that tells me that there is nothing to say that any of these interested parties will take up the offer and we could still see the club fold if the said parties don't follow up on their interest, and in coming weeks the club would be contacting all the interested parties to see whether they would be making an offer to buy the club. The second statement states that contrary to rumours circulating the stadium on Sunday that the club had already been sold were not true, and as yet nobody had come in with an actual offer. I would imagine that it is the best interests of everyone connected with Sheffield Speedway that the club stays fans have a team to support and the present Promotion to re-coup some of the money they have put into the club. But as far as I am concern nobody has made any promises and as far as I am concerned this season could well be the end of my speedway team, and to be truthful as I have said before I am amazed that anyone has shown an passing interest in running a speedway team.

I think that people need to actually read through both statements. The initial statement said that there was several interest parties had registered an interest, not that the club was ready to be sold plain and simply interested parties had shown an interested. The only other thing that said was those who were showing an interested would be asked to take the next step and hopefully buyer would be in place in a couple of weeks, nothing was promised definitely. The second statement is telling people that the club has not been sold yet. People especially those supporting need to but out and read the statements before making comments.

Very much sums up his time at Sheffield. Good exciting rider but his attitude lets him down.

A average over 8 points in his first season at Redcar would suggest that the track has to be one of his favourites. The problem with Lasse is the sulking it can be very long and deep.

I am amazed in this day and age that there are several interested parties. Could we be returning back to Thursday nights speedway and joining the Buster Chapman League. I suppose we will find out in coming weeks.

Total and utter tosh.. Viewed it over and over again. The marshall walks over to Craig Cook's path as he is coming into the pit gate. I will say again anyone who walks into the path of someone riding a speedway bike is asking to get hit. As for the alleged headbutt, contact is made with the shoulder not helmet.

Well looking at the footage it clear to me that the marshall walks into Craig Cook's path. It is not brightest thing to do walk in front of rider on a bike whilst in motion. That was definitely not a headbutt in was a shoulder barge. For me its the actions of an over zealous marshall.

Rory was exactly the same at Sheffield a few weeks ago. Did not like the amount of dirt down on the track and spat the dummy out. What he does not realise is he sending out a clear message to opposing clubs, put the dirt down and water the track well and Rory will not race. Maybe over the years those nasty injuries have taken their toll on him.

In them shorts!!!

Total and utter tosh. Compared to Kyle Bickley who had a full season last season in the league, Drew had 7 meetings, In those 7 meeting Drew scored more points than Kyle points did from a full season. H e started the season on a assessed average of 2 due to not done enough meetings to gain an average. As soon as he gain an average he found himself in the main body of the team, yes he has found it tough, but the lad has stuck at it not given up. I cannot think of another rider who has moved from a reserve berth to the main body of the team before they were 17 , I don't remember Bewley doing it and Bickley still has the luxury of riding at reserve at Glasgow after over a season in the Championship. Oh and in the World Under 21 Team Cup he outscore Kyle Bickley, at track that Kyle calls home. If Drew should not be in Championship then there is a whole host of riders should not be either.

With a 38 points limit?
