The criticism I picked up on was in Speedway Star where the club ask Mason to change the date of his flight home so he could ride in the last meting for th club and refused. I must admit I did not see the social media stuff put out by the rider, but if he did then the best thing is to let them go. You would think that with the new promotion coming in they would be be looking to use some Danes.,
-
I would love to see Ricky Wells back at Sheffield in 2013 He started to put in some decent scores towards the end of the season, and he took a while to get dialled into the Sheffield track. He also had to ride the more difficult number 5 position as well.
-
Could be, but I thought that the Glasgow takeover had been completed before the Workington one so I am not sure whether that theory is true. One thing is certain the outgoing Promotion were very critical of Mason Campton.
-
I think some realise that they have just let the cat out of the bag.
-
Apologies been a long day.
-
Transfers are exceptionally rare in speedway these days, the only recent ones that I can recall were Danny King and Craig Cook. The only profit you will make on assets these days that don't ride for the club is rake in the loan fees, but I still think that the system is out of date and needs to be brought into line with other sports.
-
Totally agree the minute that Glasgow promotion allowed the BSPA defer it to the end of the season they allowed Berwick to sign him as an asset. I think that they really need to take a look at the asset situation is worked out, its far to complicated and too be honest out of date.
-
Okay, checked and does say that he was signed for the same club as Seb Alden Masarna, but checking all the Masarna fixtures Simon rode in none of the fixtures.
-
Workington are having a team of 7 riders on a points limit of 51 points according to some of their fans.
-
Funny how he has been riding for Swindon on Thursdays.
-
Not a bad call, but the big problem with Vissing is the amount of time he spends out injured and I also think that Somerset will be looking to keep him. Steady if he is going to ride in the Premier League is someone that the club has to look at getting. The one thing we like at Sheffield is a local lad, and they don't come much local than Steady. plus he is a leader I think he will be an excellent with young inexperienced riders. We are at a stage now like we were when Sean Wilson came to the club, and I am sure that Simon could have the same impact that Sean made up with club.
-
I think most Sheffield fans would agree with you.
-
Looking at the figures Adam Roynon Mason Campton Tero Aarnio fits just in the 42.5 limit.
-
Rusty Harrison would leave you with 13.43 for remaining 3 riders. Adam Roynon would leave 13.39 Stead I think you can rule him out his average 2.51 higher than Roynon's Ricky Wells would leave 13.99
-
No said they were waiting on what happened at Coference and talks with the Stadium owners.
-
I would not read too much into the retaining of three riders from last season. They have said that they were maybe looking to retain 3, and if they had retained 2 others why have they not announced it yet.
-
Yeah no doubt about the potential of quite a few of these riders, but Len Silver seems to do this every year where by he puts out teams that way under the limit. I wonder if he suffers from discalcula.
-
Well just looking at riders who might be available you could have a team of say (1) Simon Stead (2) Joe Haines (3) Tero Aarnio (4) Ricky Wells (5) Josh Grajczonek 6) Damien Koppe (7) Joe Jacobs/ Stefan Nielsen Plenty other riders that would fit the bill if none of these riders were available.
-
I would not panic to much just yet, there are plenty of riders out there, lets just wait and see.
-
Signing Simon Stead along with the other three riders would leave you with only 10.88 for your last three riders.
-
A decent side. The one thing that springs to mind is that the team has a lot of potential. Is it a championship winning team? Not to sure of that, but they could well be there or there abouts.
-
Don't get to excited Edinburgh won it last year.
-
Some fair comment there, and looking at the other sport using the stadium they greyhounds meetings they only use the stadium Thursdays and Saturdays so perhaps I jumped the gun a little bit and maybe the idea is not such a bad idea. The one thing that they would not have a problem with is riders, with the likes of Patch and CVS been involved they will be wide selection of riders to choose from. The one thing that would really top things off is to get their own stadium and track in their own area, but I am sure that the people behind the scenes are working hard on that already. But one thing that is certain the name Dudley or as us who have been watching speedway remember them better as Cradley have so much history behind them and have to be given every opportunity to comeback.
-
Don't really have a problem as such, if Dudley or like you say Cradley were to say come to the table and say this is a temporary situation until for a season or two then I would say go for it. There is no doubt that the support is there.
-
If get a summer anything like we have had this year you have problems completing fixtures.
