I think that you need to read the sentence again as yes I did say that but there was another fact added to that as well. Here you go this is what I did say. The present Scunthorpe side is littered with riders that are ex Sheffield riders or Sheffield track specialists and to beat them we needed to have the team at full strength and everyone fit, I certainly would not judge the team on 3 performances against the Scunthorpe team.

Some interesting points made, but I would point out that; Fortress Owlerton; Only one team has beaten Sheffield at Sheffield this season. Bottom of League; Yes we are, but look at the meetings rode and you will see that on average most teams have rode nearly double the amount of meetings we have. Out of the KOC; Not yet, I still think that we can pull that one back. League Cup; I give you that one, but it was Edinburgh who are looking as though they could go through the League programme losing very few matches. Josh Bates; No secret that he is carrying an injury, so that is probably hampering him. Okay I would not disagree with the fact that the team are not performing as they should or could, but the fact remains that was only the 6th home meeting that raced and we have reached mid June, generally you would expect to have seen the team race double those amount of meeting by this stage. The present Scunthorpe side is littered with riders that are ex Sheffield riders or Sheffield track specialists and to beat them we needed to have the team at full strength and everyone fit, I certainly would not judge the team on 3 performances against the Scunthorpe team. The one thing that the Promotion have shown is that they are not afraid to make changes and if things continue where we are losing matches at home then I think that we might just see a few if the right riders become available.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and generally I will respect people's opinion. Sorry but yours I don't. As per usually you come on here spouting off, funny is it not we don't hear anything from you when the team has won or are winning. No we don't. Just for once think about what you are saying. The new Promotion did not take the club over until mid February, when every other team had their 1 to 7 sorted. Apart from two riders who basically gambled on signing for the club, we were left to build a team form what effectively was the scraps left over. But from that team, we made the Semi Final of the League cup. And now boast a British Champion in the team. Okay things are not great, but they are not doing to badly with what they have got, and unusually for Sheffield in the past the new Promotion are not scared of making a change. They now have signed one of the best prospects in British speedway, one that the British Team Manager had enquired about taking back as a fast track rider for his Elite League team, even though he knew that he would miss most of that teams home meetings Like I say things are far from perfect at the moment, but I am confident that they will get it right, and maybe just maybe for once you will come on here and be positive rather than only coming on to be totally negative. Rant over.

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.

http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.1551 Appears that everything has now been sorted.

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.
