  1. Great news to have a Brum ride in 2025 I will try and go to all of the away meetings. Pickering will be the Sheffield captain next year
  2. He is worth the admission money alone at owlerton a true asset to British speedway. I want to see every prem team full of gp riders if possible
  3. The Ipswich side was built similar to ours, the difference was D Thompson had a great season which pushed Rew down to reserve and the top 5 kept performing. Howarth was very poor for most parts of the season and had to stay at number 2, Anders Rowe been the only change would make us stronger. Gilkes and Edwards had they’re moments but didn’t improve much through the season but are still young riders, I’m not sure who else would be better picks at reserve
  4. That’s sport sometimes, just about hitting form at the right time. Need to find some magic in a young reserve 2025
  5. As poor as Edwards and Gilkes were, especially away. We managed to finish top of the league with many bonus points in the bag
  6. Replacing Rowe for Howarth is a positive move. That team with Pickering firing is unreal especially at home. The semis against BV were decided by Pickos engine issues in the first leg and the Holder bro’s both having an off night in the home leg if we got past the semis we would of smashed Leicester. Not sure if Edwards and Gilkes would both be back as they were disappointing last season
  7. I’ll complain until the cows come home 🤪 The riders want to earn a living in both leagues so it will get sorted
  8. If Poland do us over and the likes of Picko, Woffy etc don’t ride UK might as well shut up shop
  9. Heard a rumour Bomber is going to be at Sheffield next season and not as a guest rider
  10. The real final was the semi. Leicester and Ipswich was no match for Sheffield and BV
  11. Final averages out now but shouldn’t change any plans dramatically. Obviously waiting on the points limit decision whether it be 39 or 40 and the RS program to continue. Feel like the management will have something of a surprise up their sleeve for 2025 could be a rider who hasn’t rode UK 2024. Still think Lambert would be a steal on a below 8 average
  12. It was strange seeing them both have an off night I’m not sure what was the reason, Jack has hardly dropped a point all season but just didn’t have any speed at all, not sure if having no mechanic was the cause. Chris started badly and seemed all out of sorts. It’s a very tough choice picking 2/3 but I’d have to say Jack should be the first name on the team sheet for 2025 next to Picko
  13. Are they the final averages? As they are slightly different to the British speedway website latest ones. 2024 team been a pleasure to watch, especially when we had Woffy going well. Finishing top of the table and winning the cup you’d say go similar as possible. But I do think we were left wanting at reserve in many meetings relying too heavily on the Holders, which last night proved to be our undoing. If the strong rumours of Anders Rowe signing are true then that is a great reserve to have. I think they have to get Picko back just for entertainment value and I’d make him the captain. if the same points limit applies with a RS at 7 Jack Holder 8.7 Tai Woffinden 8.46 Robert Lambert 7.61 Josh Pickering 6.61 Anders Rowe 3.91 leaves 4.71 for the final rider, Thomsen or Kerr maybe? think Edwards could be the preferred choice as RS
  14. Well done BV defo deserved it over the two legs. We just didn’t show up tonight Jack and Chris probably the worst they’ve been all season at home. Heat 14 summed the season up for me, Picko trying his very hardest to slow the race up to try and give Edwards chance at passing, but he never laid a glove. Team needs a re think for 2025
  15. Hope cook is ok looked a bad one Is it only reserves who can take his last ride?
  16. Embarrassing from Edwards as per usual at home. BV will ease through
  17. I think them scores won’t be too far off it. Harris rides Owlerton as well as the Holders if the track is grippy expect more than 5, but think the reserves will get less than 8 between them. Prediction 52-38 Holders to grab a 4-2 in 15 to bring the house down
  18. The “bend 2 barmy army” only been going couple years most sheff fans find them embarrassing. Bend 3 and 4 fans at owlerton great atmosphere and no hostility at all towards away fans, I was talking with the Ipswich lot last week all good banter
  19. All the hate will just make Jack ride faster 😁
  20. What’s with the slagging of owlerton again the NSS is a great racetrack but if the opposition come to owlerton and have a go the racing is good standard. Harris rides our track well I suspect he’ll stay at number 5 and ride better than first leg. Picko and Chris is the key partnership they need heat advantages whenever they ride together. Lidsey and Cook not been convincing at all so far this season when visiting Sheffield. prediction, Sheff to win superheat 🤩
  21. Very much in the balance after that 5-1. Picko had bike issues and Harris not great can’t see them struggling as much Thursday. Kyle Howarth I’m just lost for words how bad he really is
  22. Wow the hate runs deep.. take Jack over two gingers any day
