Last place is absolutely make or break first six only good enough if 7th is Wells or equivalent

Have Sheffield announced admission prices yet? Does it depend on whether Wells or a 4th reserve gets the last spot

Sheffield need Wells more than Wells needs Sheffield IMHO

A team with Steady, Hall and Wells should do better than 2012 Without Wells not looking good

Well fixtures will be out shortly. Bet other premier league teams will be fearing coming to Sheffield with Steady and ..... Oh hang on

I am one of the missing fans. Used to go every week up to a few years ago and pretty often until last year It was obvious before the season started last year that the team was far too weak to be competitive, and i didnt attend a single meeting . The signing of Stead is great news, and adding 2 decent heat leaders will see me return. Sorry to say with the Wells comment and no sign of anyone as good or better its looking like another uncompetitive season. Hope i am wrong and the 6th and 7th riders are good ones. I could easily be tempted back

RICKY Wells insists he still wants to return to Sheffield next season but he’s also revealed how the club want him to take a pay cut. Speaking in Los Angeles at a big invitational event where he finished third, Wells says he would settle for the same deal as last season. But Tigers are looking to keep a tight grip on costs after losing thousands last season thanks to the number of rain-offs and a poor side. Wells says he cannot say at this stage whether he will be back at Owlerton after showing signs of improvement in the second half of last season. He said: “The bottom line is that I want to ride for Sheffield next year and if I get offered the same deal I was on last year I’ll sign in seconds. I’m not being offered that though, I’m being offered a lot less. There’s no way I could ride for it because I’ve got to earn my living, it’s not me being greedy. “I understand that we’ve got to be sensible but I wasn’t on an outrageous deal last season, it was a deal I thought was pretty fair on both sides. If I don’t get the deal that works then it won’t happen.”
