Similarities to when Sean Wilson came back to the club, and a lot fans at Sheffield seem to think the same way reading the Sheffield Facebook pages. What the Promotion need to do is to get a group of young hungry riders to build a side around him like they did when Sean was at the club. Back then they were British lads, would love them to be all British lads, but not really bothered where they come from as long as they want to ride for Sheffield speedway club. And like it has already been said cannot be any worse than the team that we had last season.

Did we adequately replace Ricky last season is more the point, one of the reasons we fail so much last season was the lack of a number who could win races in heat 13 and 15 something that Ricky would have done. The one thing I would agree with is that Ricky was treated poorly, the club left it so late when releasing him he was left with very little choice on which club to join, and I think it has backfired on them. But I think that its a move that has done the lad the world of good, and I can fully understand he reasons for wanting to stay with Berwick..

I don't think it is a case that people don't want Ricky Ashworth its more that Ricky has clearly stated that he wants to be at Berwick next season, see the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR93_kvfIMc I would rather see riders that actually want to ride for the club, and at the moment Ricky wants to be with Berwick so if that what we wants then lets let the guy have want he wants. In Simon Stead Sheffield have adequately replace or found a better replacement for Ricky. It says in the Speedway Star that he has turned more money at other clubs to come to Sheffield so I think that answers the question whether he wants to be at so Simon Stead the rider wants to be at the club. Simon Stead the man, I don't know whether you were around the last time he was at the club, but one thing that he does do well is connect with the fans both young and old, and understands the value of the supporters. But don't just take my word for it ask the fans of Swindon what they think of Simon Stead. Lets not forget that Simon was up and until recently part of the Team GB World Cup Squad, he has had rode in British GB as a Wild card on more than one occasion, he can bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to club that will prove invaluable.

What about (1) Simon Stead (2) Damien Koppe (3) Claus Vissing (4) Joe Haines (5) Josh Grajczonek (6) Micky Dyer (7) Stefan Nielsen

I don't think you see Richard Hall or Emiliano Sanchez at Sheffield next season, and my gut feeling is that we might not see Ricky Wells either.

I think that he could well be there or there abouts. People will say he had a poor season last season, but I tend to look how riders finish, and he finished very well, beating Holder at Poole, and he was one of the main reasons why Swindon won the Play Off Final.

Simon comes in on an average of 9.59, which quite a bit but if the promotion are clever we can get a team to take on all comers and put in title challenge. I think what we have to do is either get a strong reserve that could take the pressure of Koppe by eventually take over the 2nd string position or get Koppe in at reserve. There are still plenty of riders out there, I notice that Ipswich have released both Poole and North, they could be options to look at. I stiil think that Grajczonek and Wells would be excellent as 2nd and 3rd heatleaders. And I still cannot believe the guy who won the British Under 19 title at Sheffield last season is still available, would be a dream come true if we could get Stefan Nielsen in. The main thing for me is that we get a build a young hungry team around Simon Stead.

Fantastic News, This is just the shot in the arm the club needs. I think that he will prove to be a quality signing for the club, and the one rider that most of the Sheffield fans were united on who we wanted to lead the club.

But could he be doubling up?

Just asked the question any of those riders sign been doubling up riders, got the answer that Kozza is and Simon Stead possibly.

Reading the reports so did the Promotion too.

Well f both parties want it so bad then I am sure something can be worked out.

Mark Lemon has been released by Newcastle, although I don't know how he goes at Berwick.

Maybe but we cannot expect Ian Hunter to keep dipping into his pockets.

Exactly I think that we will see this type of deal happening more and more often.

Certainly looking that way. I am sure that they will announce it soon, if they have decided to stick with Thursdays. Lets hope that they can get Steady's signature, and then move onto the rest of the team.

Bored why? Don't we all want to talk about Leicester speedway, and the rider they dropped.

Apparently Karlsson has stated that he will not be doing Premier League this season due to the pay rates..

That is the big problem with Adam, a cracking talent, but he does suffer terribly with injuries, never good time to get injuries but he does seem to get them at the most crucial stages. Lets hope he manages a season staying fully fit.

Would look pretty similar to Chris Evans.

I am taking nothing for granted, never thought that Workington would let Adam Roynon out of the Worky team but they have.

Very strong top 4 and you find it difficult to find a better top 4. Little bit weak at the tail but if those riders can make some improvement on their averages then yuo could be looking at a Championship challenging team.

Could be and could be the information that the club has been waiting on.

My guess its either Sheffield or Workington.

I know but I was trying to be realistic. To be fair I would love to see Stefan at Sheffield, he is probably one the most excting youngsters from the National League so as well as his potential to score points he would thrill us along the way. But I get the feeling that someone else will come along offer him a better deal. I saw Joe Jacobs ride in the Under 19's at Sheffield and was impressed with how he rode, and I would give him a chance at Sheffield. Wonder if I offered Squall up to have Stefan's babies it might just a deal clincher.
