Not going to make much difference on Sunday as that means there will be you and ??

Can only speak of my own clubs Sheffield dealings with Birmingham and Graham Drury. We have used young Zach as a Guest for a couple of meetings. I cannot find the press release but it did say that Zach had taken the bookings with Drury's blessing, and that he was happy to see Zach get a chance with a club like Sheffield who dealt with things in a proper manner. Maybe if Somerset had simply uttered the words Do you mind.

Stop being silly no one is asking you to support Josh Bates, you are been asked to support the event.

Did not stop Zetterstrom receiving a ban a few years ago.

Message to all fans. If anyone to meet up for a pre meeting drink, why not join us at the pub for speedway fans The New Barrack Tavern. All fans from all clubs welcome.

Maybe. But after the season we have had with injures, deportation the fact that we have gotten there is a major achievement. oh and three years just managing to avoid what your lot are trying to avoid this season, definitely an achievement for us going forward.

I did not go looked at the forecast and saw the amount of rain that fell previously and could not justify to myself the train, taxi fares and all the rest that goes with, and I am certainly not going to stand out in the rain to watch a speedway meeting. Which is a pity as I love watching the racing at Scunny. Did not get the feeling that it was such a great meeting from the two sets of updates that I was watching but seems as though it was not that bad. A Sheffield win would have been nice, but the main thing is that we had 7 riders come through the meeting unscathed and fit for the Play Offs. Congratulations to Scunny on finally winning 3 consecutive home meetings on the trot this season, lets hope you can make it even more, and All The Best for the rest of the season. And we will see you in the Play Offs. Oh yeah sorry forgot your not in them this season.

Well I will be taking a brolly if its not called of before I set off.

I don't think any Sheffield fans expect the team to get very far in the Play Off's, the fact that we have despite the injuries and deportation problems faced with losing riders we have done really well to get there. But then again we thought that Edinburgh would come to Sheffield just over a week ago and turn us over big style, how wrong were we on that one. The feel good factor is definitely shining at the moment where we bucking the trend of British speedway with crowds levels rising and a set of riders who are not only winning but producing some exciting racing. And just to show how crowds levels are up, the carvery in the restaurant ran out of meat, for the Edinburgh match.

A habit I could get used to.

And your information source is?

6 Guest appearances over a 12 week period for Sheffield. I suppose its what you define as a shed load.

Should get a true average in time for the Play Offs, at 3.60 at the moment and it will probably stay that way up to the Play Offs. Play Off scores don't count towards a riders averages, so could well have a very attractive average for next season.

I think that over the last couple of months Josh has worked hard on his riding and for me he is far better and controlled rider, he is far from the finished article and he has and still does occasionally make mistakes. The good thing is that Steady has taken him under his wing and like Ty Proctor Josh does listen to the experience riders and take on board their advice, we saw that last season when came from no where to win the British Under 21 title. As for Paco I agree with you as well, but I think a lot depend upon what his finishing average will be as to whether or not we can fit the lad in.

I agree with you, I would also add Arthur Sissis and if he can get the visa Ty Proctor.

You must have been there last night, and most of the Sheffield meetings to know how the track was prepared in previous meetings.

So that is why the crowds are up at Sheffield. We have got them coming down from Berwick every week. That is a wonderful commitment from someone who supports another team.

Craig Cook clocked 59.9 tonight, not quite the track record which is still held by Ricky Ashworth at 59.1.

Okay, well I was stood with the texter and if you read it does not say there was contact, what it actually means is Branford left a gap and panicked and wobbled, there was no contact.

You were there tonight then, next time you are Owlerton come over and introduce yourself.

Klindt has a higher average than Bellego so would imagine that he would be the one to go.

Would certainly welcome Robert Lambert to Sheffield even more so than Ben Barker.

I said another thread that I felt that Edinburgh and Somerset for the top 2, with Glasgow, Peterborough, Sheffield and Ipswich making up the other 4 spots. Still not changed my opinion apart from I would say it will be Glasgow finishing in the top two instead of Somerset. And it also looks as though Edinburgh have peaked just the right time, with Masters due to return soon I just don't see anyone beating them at this moment.

Looking increasingly as though it is season over for Arthur, I really think we need to look for a replacement. From our own asset base we have; Facu Albin (not sure whether or not he is in the country still) Jake Knight Benji Compton. Others who are not assets that we might consider. Liam Carr Danny Spiller Zach Wotshisname (from Birmingham) Or maybe even do a double change. drop the not so impressive Klindt. And bring in Adam Ellis and Anders Thomsen (although not so sure that the figures work out) Regardless the \Promotion have a massive decision to make and I do envy them.

Would not disagree with that statement, and if you are going to be controversial in what you say expect that you may get something controversial said in response.
