Of course it was Sheffields fault. They were responsible as with every other Employer for ensuring he was able to legally work in the country. They may have been misled by the BSPA but at the end of the day they are the Employer and are legally responsibility to know the Home Office requirements.

Confirmed by the club Sheffield Speedway ‏@TigersSpeedway 6m6 minutes ago Club legend @Simon_Stead becomes the fifth rider on our team sheet for 2016! Full story to follow!

Hope its fine on Thursday. Forecast looks better than a couple of days ago. If not meeting will be on Sunday apparently!!

Would have thought Castagna was likely to be replaced

Interesting team moves afoot by the look of it. http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sports/speedway/speedway-you-re-fighting-for-your-places-sheffield-tigers-stars-are-told-1-7422672 Really is very good to see such a proactive promotion. Every injury has resulted in replacements that maintain a strong play off challenge. The guest choices have generally been inspired and clearly not deterred by the high cost of guest riders demands as previous promotion. Really enjoyable 2015 Speedway season and by the looks of it no intention to go out meekly in the play offs.

Roscoe trying hard but failing to keep his views on Robinson under wraps

Four years later and now he is making tonights meeting a complete farce

Big News on the rider front apparently Sorry that should be BIG NEWS

Season ticket holders will be offered a £5 discount on admission for the meeting. WTF surely it is free for ST's?

Well admission is only £1 less yet the S/T is £101 less so IMHO represents value compared to pay on the gate Sheffield S/T price is disgraceful VFM compared to £15 admission

Berwick S/T £199 Sheffield £300 One represents great VFM one does not

I think Sheffield now they have completed look really strong. Any team starting with Andre Compton at reserve has to be respected.

So back to team building. Are people still expecting Andre to be announced? If so Is his average 4.36? If so who is available at more than 4.36 but no more than 4.85? as we only have 9.21 to play with and obviously ideal for him to start at reserve. Any ideas?

That team looks as weak as last seasons imho

SHEFFIELD Speedway’s new management team are aware of an allegation made by Swindon Speedway regarding an alleged approach for Nick Morris. Because of the serious nature of the allegation the consortium, through co-promoter David Hoggart, will deal direct with the British Speedway Promoters’ Association. Said Hoggart: “We were made aware of a statement issued by Swindon Speedway and because of the serious nature of the allegation we will be dealing with the BSPA on the matter. “There is nothing more to add at this stage.
