Latest news is that; To level up the teams in the Premier League Edinburgh have agreed to swap Craig Cook, Sam Masters and Steve Worrall for Simon Stead, Leigh Lanham and Simon Nielsen.

It either a rider signing as a asset which would mean either Simon Stead or Josh Bates. If its a rider change, the clue could be in the claim that they want to make Owlerton a fortress. Which if that is true then I reckon some Sheffield fans make get a kick out of who I think it is.

Totally correct. Lets look at the fact. Yes it is the middle of June. But we have race only 4 times at Sheffield as a team, okay we have lost twice but that was to the same team Scunthorpe who have a team that give any Sheffield team a run for their money at Owlerton. We have raced 5 times away and won 2 of those meetings we have won at Scunthorpe and a pretty convincing win at Redcar, we were humped at Newcastle (we usually do), beaten at Rye House (we usually do) and to be fair a disappointing performance at Berwick. But we have made the Semi- Finals of the League cup. And we have a British Champion in the team. Not bad for a team that was put together at the very last minute. Okay things are not perfect at the moment, lets see how far this team can go and lt have a fair crack at the whip before we start to write them off.

There is no doubt that Facu was entertaining last season. But the one thing that became abundantly clear that his equipment was sub standard. If the new Promotion were to consider bringing him they would need assurances.from Facu himself. (1) He has invested heavily in some new equipment. or (2) He has found a very good sponsor to back him with some new and better equipment. If the answer to either or both of them questions is no then I think we should forget about bringing him back. If was planning on coming back on the equipment that he had last year or the equivalent then as exciting as he was we only see a rider who spends all night chasing other riders back wheel. And at the moment the only rider I would consider dropping for him is Simon Nielsen to suggest the other two is sheer madness..

As far as I know we don't have one, but think we can run the occasional Monday nights.

Don't give up the day job.

The new promotion have shown that they are not afraid to make changes and if SCB is right and is very good with the figures that leaves Sheffield with a lot of points to play around with. My view is that if they do make a change they maybe keep one eye any moves that Scunthorpe make when Anders Mellgren returns to racing.

I heard the little one was going to be. Edward, Luke, Jason, Steve, ,Mathieu , Jason Stefan Ellis Shadders.

Looking bleak at the moment, if the forecast is right. I know I only do home meetings generally, but to get to the end of May and potentially only see the team race 4 times is depressing. Taylor Poole must be living on fresh air.

Not unexpected after reading recent reports, but still very very sad. Legend is a word use far to often these days, but in Simmo's case fully justified. RIP Simmo.

I take it you are not happy then.

So much so they went and stuffed ya.

Yes it did right on cue at 4.00pm.

They were mate, but still very much appreciated especially with the stick and the negative comments made towards the Promotion over the last week or so.

Is it Danny King they are briniing in then or are they not revealing who the new rider/riders are going to be.

Have to say that it was nice of Dick Barrie to come out onto the mic and say a few kind words for the Sheffield fans and Promotion.

So it is only Rosen and Henry that have gone then.

Just seen that Christian Henry has posted on Facebook that he ready to go back to Australia after been dropped by Newcastle. He did not see it coming and neither did anyone else I think.

For those who require weather updates the; Still no rain.

I am in the centre of town at the moment and so far so good regarding the weather. As for the Rider Replacement I have stop trying to working these things out.

That needs to be re phrased to. If Sheffield did break the rules as you point out it seems that way, then BSPA knowingly allowed them to do so.

Been there bought the T shirt, overcoat, hat and scarf. No Thanks,

I think the Sheffield Promotion need to get out the Sheffield v Edinburgh 2010 Play Off Semi Final DVD, to inspire the Sheffield team. I think that we are going to need another performance like that again for Thursday.

I would agree with you on that, but the problem is that there is not enough quality riders around that want to ride in leagues in this country. With the new draft system in the Elite League now we have an abundance of riders riding in three leagues, for me that has to stop after this season and riders should be told that they can in only two out of the three leagues. But I think getting riders and Promoters to simply commit to one club in one league would see quite few retirements of younger British riders, as their lack of rides and earning potential would go down.
