but most of the racing last year was pants as well.on thursday night it spoke volumes when you have racers like danny king and rory schlein who couldn't make a pass.tigers outgated ipswich pure and simple.now i love to see a tigers win but i,d rather them draw, lose or the score be much closer than see a gate and go meeting.

after last night i would be surprised if it wasn't back to just the faithful from now on in.it really annoys me because we have the makings of a very decent side but the racing is pure drivel.all bar maybe a couple of passes it was worse than watching paint dry.i was stood amongst a few ipswich supporters and felt for them really spending all that money and time on a thursday evening to watch 12 to 13 heats of boredom.that second bend again is getting downright dangerous because riders are looking for the only grain of dirt out there.if the track continues in the same vain then i regret buying 2 season tickets this year and wished i had gone to scunthorpe instead to see some good old fashioned proper racing.COME ON PROMOTION GET IT SORTED BEFORE YOU ALSO START TO LOSE YOUR REGULARS AS WELL.

totally agree with you romans lovechild,i too have been going since 1976 and I've seen some cracking meetings over the years but scunthorpe certainly does blow it away in terms of excitement and entertainment and rob godfrey certainly is a very dry humoured character on the mic but here is a guy who is passionate and bleeds scunthorpe speedway.the only reason i won't be attending all of scunnys fixtures this year is because, regardless whether the racing is good or note am and always will beta tiger through and through.

thanks for that charlie boy.somebody else speaking from the same hymnbook.

yes r8gdp and comet 49 i appreciate what you are saying but speedway used to be such an uncomplicated sport but unless some rules are changed i fear for the sport in general.as i said i don't want to see guests making up a team for the majority of the season and I'm sure most supporters would agree.well done workington on what was obviously a good win tonight.just hope that we can bounce back from this defeat and look forward otherwise i fear for the rest of the season.

what a farce.firstly robs riding, then he isn't,then he is.r/r for lasse who gets injured riding for another team as a guest according to updates, you really couldn't make it up.unfortunately gone now are the days when a team had its own riders but i can only see it being another season full of r/r and guests.if this is the way then i think i may just give it this season and that will be it.the rules and regs now are beyond madness and after following sheffield for 40 years it will be sad to not follow the sport anymore.

great win for the tigers last night.good to see lass in amongst the points albeit his first win should have been called back after he got a massive flyer.todd looked the biz also.josh rode very well.robert and jack looked well on the pace apart from maybe jacks last couple of rides and kyle,well what can you say.a superb captain who leads by example and never stops trying.well done the tigers and lets hope that we can go to workington full of confidence on saturday. sorry, forgot to mention todd.he certainly looked the part last night and long may it continue. sorry did mention him.old age and all that!!!

blimey.must be costing you a small fortune.worth it though.c,mon the tigers.sheffield that is!

for goodness sake lets have a bit more dirt on the turns please

well.quite an interesting night.i opted for a season ticket for myself and spouse for this year on the strength of the team line up and hopefully the racing improving but unsure whether this was the right decision.was pleased to see a large crowd with plenty of new faces but on the evidence of the racing last night doubt whether any of them will return,yes the meeting was close in respect of the score but not the racing itself.we brought along a newbie last night and he said he liked the smell and the atmosphere but that was his only comment as i don't think he wanted to offend us.i personally think that what was commented in the programme is true in respect of the bikes now being much too fast and agree that i would rather the races be a few seconds slower and the racing closer rather than gate and goodbye as was the case in much of last nights racing.shame because this promotion deserve to succeed but as commented i can only see a return to previous crowd figures with perhaps a few old and new supporters returning.

yes.what a breath of fresh air the promotion are turning out to be.they certainly deserve all credit for this gesture and hope that more people fill the terraces.am now in my 40th year of watching speedway and can honestly say that i have probably never looked forward to a season as much as this one.roll on tapes up.well done sheffield

as a sheffield supporter even i will vouch for that.best racing track in the country full stop.best grub as well if i,m honest

does anyone know if season tickets are valid for this meeting

hard to say on stead.much will depend i think on other work which may be offered.sky etc

season tickets are decent value.works out at just over £12 per meeting plus half price can parking and 10% discount in the shop.no free prog though this year.

thanks for the welcome tigerish.am quite looking forward to getting in on the banter on this forum

hi.i am new to this post so would just like to wish tigers fans a merry xmas and a happy new year
