spin king

He had one in 2011 for Scunthorpe, don't think he qualifies.

Took time out to digest the move to bring back Richard Hall. And to be honest I am not too overly impressed. Yes I get the thought that Richard riding at reserve looks good on paper, but I saw him twice last season at Sheffield and I was not impressed I also have concerns about his Longtrack ambitions and commitments. But maybe he will surprise me and be a trump card and I will be the first to admit that I was wrong.

Another good signing by the Promotion bringing back Jason, very popular with the fans at Sheffield. Will be interesting to see who the club bring in for the rest of the team. I have notice that Dakota North has a Premier League average of 6.55 from 2013, not whether or not that average would stand. But if it did what about a side of the following; (1) Simon Stead (2) James Sarjeant (3) Jason Garrity (4) Josh Bates (5) Dakota North (6) Arthur Sissis (7) Nathan Greaves. Scrap that after asking SCB the Dakota North average does not stand,

Has he really. Care to show everyone where it says that he has. Don't get me wrong like nearly all of Sheffield fans I want to see Jason back at Sheffield but I think it is premature to say that he has already signed for Sheffield.

Calm down son, I hear that Tai has been spotted on a beach in Oz sporting a nice pair of Union Jack shorts.

Cannot see Nick Morris st Ipswich unless either Swindon or Ipswich change their race night.

The way the team is shaping up and the way the Promotion are talking regards the team I think it is highly unlikely that he will be back, but you never know.

I think that Cookie has to make it that Rosco cannot ignore him, hopefully this coming season he will do just that. I would say at the moment he is in the top 4 Brits along with Tai, Bomber and Lambert, so deserves his chance in the WTC. Next year is massive for him, it will see how far he can really go.

I think that you will find that Josh Bates get a 2.5% reduction no his average should read 5.44.

I am of the same opinion to be honest, but then again who would have thought 3 or 4 seasons ago that Jason Doyle could have not only become a GP regular but also get himself into the top 8 of the GP.

Sheffield?

Although not confirmed totally Steady is back in training with his personal trainer so looks like he is intending to return.

Don't forget that James gets a 2.5% reduction on his average.

Is anyone surprised really, cannot make a name for himself riding on the continent while riding Premier League. Personally I think it has done Edinburgh a massive favour, they can now go with; Masters Wolbert Sedgmen Riss Clegg 3 pointer And still have 5.86 left over for their last rider. Maybe another Riss joining the club.

Welcome to Nathan Greaves. Like others have said nice to see another local talent coming to the club. From what I have seen of young Nathan he appears to be a raw talent, yes he has made mistakes and I dare say he will make more, but he will mostly be facing riders of a similar standard and experience plus he will have riders that will help and pass on advice with the likes of Steady and Ash Birks and if he is prepared to listen and take on board the advice then he will not go far wrong. On the subject of Andre, there was always going to be someone unlucky and he won't be the only one it is the nature of the sport at least the club have informed him early which gives him plenty of time to get sort out with another club.

Also I think Josh get a 2.5% reduction on his average as well.

Both Simon and Jason has clearly stated on more than one occasion that they both want to be back at Sheffield next season. If there is any doubts over one of them then I would say it is Simon, the injuries he sustain at Rye were pretty serious and they are or were not healing as well as expected. I don't think that if we sign both riders for next it will mean that we would have both Arthur and Paco, in fact the introduction of the British number 7 will probably spell the end of one and I think that will be Paco. So if the top 2 is Steady and Jason, the third heatleader has to be a rider of an average between 6 and 7 points, the favourite for that has to be Ty Proctor assuming he can get his qualification for his visa. With all that in mind we could go with the following Stead 10.41 Garrity 8.46 Proctor 6.68 Bates 5.44 Sissis 3.71 British Junior 3.00. That would leave us with 4.80 for the last rider That is what I think that is the team that I think the Promotion will be looking to bring in/

He started the 2014 season at reserve. If the man still feels the urge to continue then so be it, and he would make a good middle order ride for another club.

Absolutely if a team is looking for a solid middle order man then they could do a lot worse than Andre.

The only problem is that if we have Steady, Garrity and Bates Andre will have to ride at the 3rd heatleader role, okay he maybe be able to do that home, but away I doubt whether he is capable.

Maybe they bring in someone to help them with the team matters and rider contracts who has experience.

Congratulations to the Monarchs once again they set the standard for the rest us to chase. For Glasgow I think the writing was on the wall as soon as Summers was injured, you cannot afford to lose your best and most consistent rider over the season in a Play Off, will be interesting to see what their promotion do about the team next season. But after all the banter some good and not so good, it has to be a shot in the arm for Scottish speedway to have both teams contest the Final.

I was very impressed with what Ashley had to say, I thought he spoke with passion and drive and pure common sense and I cannot think of anyone better to take on the role as Ambassador for the club.

Just back from the Presentation night. Fans rider of the year Josh Bates. Promoter's rider of the year, Josh Bates and Jason Garrity. Other news to come out. Ash Birks is to take a year out of riding speedway at least, but has accepted a role with the club to assist with Promoting the club in the Community. But the biggest news coming out is that the club are in very forward negotiations to re- opening the Sheffield training track with the view to bringing on their own local British junior riders with a long term view to re- introducing to team to ride in the National League alongside the Senior team, and the training track will be managed by Ash Birks and other senior Sheffield riders will help out when commitments allow. All exciting news, and shows that the club are investing in young British riders.

My money is on Josh.
