but was obviously doing the business last season so what has changed?maybe has taken on a bit too much in only his second season as managers don't know, but as i said, something is amiss.

i was stood near the pits gate last night and the whole demeanour of the team didn't appear to seem right, yes the season has not been very good, going out of all competitions and taking the two heavy home beatings also but in contrast you could see the togetherness as a team in redcar,especially ben barker, much as he's not everyones cup of tea he did a true captains role and was out most races motivating the team and all credit to him, all this in stark contrast in the tigers camp.for all riders to be losing form is not right.something down at sheffield speedway is not right, culminating in what appears to be the loss of one of our most popular riders, and,if as reported on social media, let go under very unprofessional circumstances.seems that this may leave a bitter taste in a lot of peoples mouths.come on promotion, what the hell is going on, especially with a team who we know are much better than this.also,i know that the meeting was pretty much lost early doors ,but using the tac sub at heat 13 when we were already twelve points down, come on!was this just a token gesture to appease the crowd?i,now,cannot wait for the season to finish because everything seems to be pretty much shambolic.u.t.t

witnesses including nike lunna have replied to lasses tweet but one of them says that lasse isn't telling the whole picture.this is bizarre.

is this true? if it is it is a disgrace.obviously don't know the ins and outs but if true then why make lasse the scapegoat?

another home defeat for me unless the heads have lifted.

i personally think that not having josh bates at either leicester or sheffield has done either club any favours.yes ,i do understand that accidents happen but to put yourself in that position to start with......well enough already said.

totally agree.charles was struggling with his bike last night.it took quite some time to get it going on the warm up laps and i think carried through to the meeting.kyle looked very ordinary in his first few rides but ,as you said, did improve but he also looked a little down on power.no disrespect to danny phillips but kyle should have the beating of the reserves.lasse,for whatever reason, has started to look a little uncomfortable with the owlerton track.gone are his cavalier type blasts around the second and third bends.james looked o.k in patches.broc,after an encouraging start, seems to have gone backwards a little.todd was the stand out last night for the tigers, competed well and never gave up trying and a special mention to joe lawlor who looked well on the pace and looks, given times though he is going to be a very competent points scorer.after last weeks disaster i had reason to think that last night would definitely be an improvement but how wrong was i?as mentioned season now more or less well and truly over in what has been a quite timid defence of the title.hopefully we can finish with a bit of a flourish but some heads are going to have to be lifted and machinery sorted out otherwise another defeat could be on the cards next week.u.t.t

good luck to georgie and thank you for his efforts but in all honesty have not seen any significant improvement from what he was last season.

no, i wouldn't like to see the club run a series of potentially loss-making meetings and the fixture situation is not the clubs fault but the sooner the people that run the sport realise that they are killing it ,the better.as i mentioned before, continuity is what is needed, no as you said not particularly sheffield but most clubs, look at workington as an example.speedway is a sport where it has got to make the most of the weather as it is very weather orientated and to have long breaks for a lot of clubs given the weather has to be financial suicide even though as you pointed out they will still have the same amount of fixtures.when you also are trying your utmost to introduce new people to the sport and they take to it the first time they attend it is hard to explain that it might be another three weeks before they see another fixture and in that period their enthusiasm could well wane.this fixture situation needs to be resolved one way or another or i do genuinely fear for the promoters.

there is no way that ever happens in speedway anyway.no club ever wins everything year in year out and it is very special when your club is doing well following numerous years without winning much.the problem is, if your team isn't winning anything then certain supporters enthusiasm starts to wain.i never mentioned that i wanted to see sheffield hammer teams week in week out, yes ,that would truly be not a good thing and i am all for close meetings with close racing, but given the nature of results, even losing a few meetings especially at home, means that it makes it v.difficult to even make the play offs.last season was fantastic if you were a sheffield supporter both home and away but we were never going to repeat that feat this season.

why would it be "boring" winning the league title again.so you found winning the pairs meeting again for the second year "boring".myself and my son were certainly not stood at the oak tree shouting for the other teams because we thought that it would be boring for the tigers to win it again.the best thing for you then would be for you to be a neutral and not support one particular team.

only because we have been fortunate not to have too many rain offs.but season over by 23rd august not taking in the c.r.f is not acceptable.

we have 6 free dates now because our season is effectively over.

for me, last nights meeting summed up quite easily.lakeside riders attacked the track and conditions and apart from kyle and charles,we didn't and that was the difference.end of.

so as city rebel has pointed out,one meeting at lakeside.you think thats acceptable then in a sport that is obviously struggling for new support.we faced the team second in the table and the crowd wasn't particularly that good.continuity is what is needed or indeed the sport will continue to struggle.

just back from a great weekend of speedway with the highlight being our pairs win.charles and kyle were really up for it and the fact that not a last place was posted by our dynamic duo just goes to show the understanding that these boys have racing as a pair.superb night and well done.utt

have never been a massive fan of individual meetings t.b.h and, although a season ticket holder, decided to save fuel and food money for the pairs and g.p meet plus, although personally it wouldn't affect me, would it not have been better to have charged 10 instead of 13 pounds for this meeting."prices slashed" what 3 quid.would it have not been better to have charged 10 quid and maybe have had a bigger attendance.who knows?

lot worrying if you go on the met office forecast.heavy rain from 8 onwards.going to set off in an hour from chesterfield but have my doubts.

there might not be anyone winning yet, have you seen the weather forecast for that part of the country on friday!

well done the lads on what is usually a bit of a tricky track.could have been more if charles didn't have a very rare off night.nice to see kyle back and the injury looks as though its holding up well.another great score for broc on a track he has never seen, what a find he is turning out to be.well done todd,another solid contribution also the same for james and a much improved away performance from georgie.well done the tigers.congrats to lakeside and the 2 top guns and looks like they are in with a shout for the title.

i do understand you to a point but surely putting on junior individual meetings is pretty much financial disaster.i am a season ticket holder but don't think that i can be bothered to drum up enough enthusiasm to attend.yes,well done to the promotion for getting a meeting on but not enough interest in it for me.shall save the petrol, programme and parking costs and put it towards the cardiff weekend.

gino manzares?

spoken like a true heartfelt supporter.IDIOT.so you are pleased then that we have lost another club for this season and maybe, who knows, for good.by the way, which team do you show allegiance to then.

to all connected with rye house.my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.another track falls by the wayside and one that has seen a lot of success.i just hope that you will be coming to tapes next season.i now am starting to fear for the sport, what with rumblings at workington and a few other tracks reported to be struggling.

shame that as i think the standard of racing was far better than when held at th showground
