Mathematically impossible. Points limit set 38 points Sheffield team combined average 37.62 Kyle Howarth 6.78 Charles Wright 7.68 We would have been over the points limit changing Wright for Howarth.

Taken from the article. After some remedial work the racing resumed but Rory Schlein got no further than the tapes as he touched them and earned a disqualification. But conditions actually had improved somewhat as Todd Kurtz showed by blasting round in 50.38 seconds to win heat five although again there was little to excite the true racing enthusiast. Chris Harris couldn't get anywhere close to Danny King in heat six, although Anders Rowe did try and put pressure on Drew Kemp in a forlorn bid to try and prevent another Sheffield heat advantage. What machine was Todd Kurtz on, because that is over 9 seconds quicker than the track record.

Cracking ride from two ex Tigers and one ex Rebel. Oh and Rory was there as well.

Disagree with the presentation of the meeting, I think that actually has prove a big improvement, meetings have run far more smoother, and quicker than in the past. Comparing to Belle Vue, it a tad unfair for instance what sort of access does the track staff have to track, my guess it is 24/ 7, as I don't think that the stadium is used for anything else other than speedway, so they can work on the track far more. For me the racing and track have improved for the later start, still could be better admittedly, but there is an improvement, the 4.00pm start for just does not work, personally I think that things would have been even better with a 6.30pm start, but that would have not suited the family orientated crowd that the promotion was trying to attract.

Maybe an element of truth in that statement.

To be honest I don't think that we would get the crowds to support Premiership speedway. On a personally note I would agree with Matt Ford merge the top two leagues to make one big league.

Not at all surprised by the news today I have been expecting it to be fair. Feel a degree of sympathy for the Promotion because they have put a lot of time, money and energy in really promoting the club and sport this season, with little reward. The change in race days from Thursday nights to Sunday afternoons has not helped for me although it is easier for me to get to meetings the standard of racing is effected and as much as I want the team to succeed I also want to be entertained and this season frankly I have been bored, and cannot help thinking that is down to afternoon racing. I have missed two meetings this season one through ill health the other due to been on holiday, and for the first time ever I can honestly say I did not missed not going. Spent hours trying figure out why, and come with why I feel that way. (1) The racing as I convinced it is afternoon racing. (2) Fragmented fixture list, too many gaps inbetween home meeting Sunday 9th June was our last home meeting the next one Sunday 30th June 3 weeks without a meeting is not good, you get out of the habit going and I think I am feeling that as well. (3) Promoters and other fans I am fed up with reading that if you complain or voice an opinion your a keyboard warrior or if you show support your classed as a happy clapper at times I have been labelled both the sport is giving me an identity crisis. (4) Restricted viewing in stadium, did think that the loss of the first bend viewing would have such an effect on me, but standing on the third and fourth bend is depressing its soulless, and no atmosphere. In saying that I will more than likely keep going for the rest of the season as I live in hope or is it more in habit. Hopefully someone will take the club on I cannot see it myself and to be honest I am not so sure at this particular moment I really care.

At the start of the season it was a prize money was a straight £500. The lat couple of meetings it revert back to 50/50 and it was around £250.

Leicester are at Sheffield on Sunday 9th July start time 5.30 pm. There is parking at the stadium in the stadium car park which I think costs £2. Admission prices Adults (aged 17 and over): £16.00 Concessions (over 65s): £13.00 with ID Students (aged 17-22, with student card): £13.00 Children (16 and under): FREE Programme £3.

And now Jye Etheridge to for Berwick. Jye Etheridge did not withdraw from the meeting my error.

Unfortunately I won't be there tomorrow due to been on holiday, could go either way but I think we might just sneak it but it wont be a walk over. Hopefully the racing will be good.

The point is that when he moved up into the main body of the team he was riding at number 2, and now rides at 4. A massive ask for a young 16 year old rider to be riding at 4 rather than 2.

Forget Bewley he has regular spot in the Polish Leagues and would not be available on Sundays. I wonder if we could fit in Bradley Wison Dean, but that would require 2 changes to the present team.

I think that the pub that you maybe thinking of is the New Barrack Tavern which is about 300 yards down the road from the stadium. I don't think that you will need to book and Kev the landlord has some fine real ales for you to try.

Short lived memory you have. You slagged off , by the way try to bend the rules to bring in a replacement for Phillips, problem was Phillips did not play ball.

Drew Kemp and Kasper Andersen now have proper averages. Drew moves into the main body of the team and Zaine Kennedy moves to reserve.

one of the present team to be announced as an asset.

Predicting a Leicester win by 6.

Could go either way. Redcar and some of their side have started very well in recent meetings. Sheffield look pretty strong and riders that have done well at Redcar. Should be a good match up.

Not really a fan of individual meetings so went along with not much expectations. The actual presentation of the meeting was far far better than in previous seasons, and the little touches for the kids was nice to see could well encourage more families to come through the gate. The track and the racing was poor, there is no getting away from that, there was a definite blue line that appear on the 3rd and 4th bend, that did not help matters and it looked like a a very slick track. This seems a bit strange as those who had attended the Press and Practice said that the track was completely different, so it will be interesting to see how Glynn Taylor the new track curator prepares the track for future meetings as he does have a good reputation for preparing a decent race track. Really pleased with the 7 Sheffield riders, I thought they all did well, and I was especially impressed with Zaine Kennedy he looked like he could well be a good find. We look to have 7 racer's in the team, and I think the Promotion will have successful and productive season if they give them a track to race on rather than a track for them to ride on.

Personally I prefer team race suits. But I think we have to see what clubs can afford, and for some the race suits could be an unnecessary expense. The thing that I find fascinating is Jason Garrity's bike and kevlars the name Sheffield Window Centre features heavily, Sheffield's long term team sponsors.

No pure guess work to be honest.

My guess is that both will be at Newcastle. And I reckon that Josh Bates will replace Worrall and Josh McDonald will replace Lambert.

For a number of clubs the profits that are produced for the catering does not go into the clubs pockets it goes into the pockets of the landlords of the stadium, and they have very little or no say in what is served up. Having viewed on FB some of the stuff that Barry Bishop eats, I would be very wary of anything that is homemade by him.

Saw Macdonald at Sheffield last season at the Big Gun meeting. Very entertaining and exciting rider but also very hairy. not too sure as to whether or not the tight technical track at Newcastle would suit him. If it was me I would go with Carl Wilkinson, know the track and rides the track well.
