Will be leaving soon as some clever fool has decided to put roadworks for 18 mile of my journey with a 50mph restriction!! Do they not know its speedway season ..

Has the weather been kind ??

Totally Agree, I think the new promotion have made a really positive start good team/manager, better PR only to be spoilt by the finance team who cant work a calculator and understand season tickets are usually there to encourage long term support and also benefit the customer with a discount. I will hopefully be there for the Newcastle meeting and be a regular attendee ,

Joe Screen is a definete either team manager or rider.. It makes interesting reading that he was today trying to buy forks for a bike !! So its Stead,Roynon,Screen,palm toft, Compton and Koppe and another new rider at just under 5 points if my sums are correct

That about sums season up could only get 10 riders for 3 heats for rider of night and eventually Sheffield only have 1 rider in final ..

And i stood by my word... just thought they might have got 2 full teams with a few exciting riders to try and tempt a few extra.. that failed.. We did come to the PLRC Sunday and talking to the people who have kept going said it had been awful and we made the correct decision to save the £100 a month Hopefully something new and fresh next season as i miss good competitive speedway

A 13 heat challenge and we still cant be bothered to track 7 riders and also a sub 8 average for replacement steady. If the stadium is empty they get there reward for doing things on the cheap

Ok now you mention it i remember something about that... What riders do Sheffield currently have as saleable assets ?? What riders are currently riding ??

Good point... What is for sale... ?? the stadium is rented, is there any current riders as assets but when Hull closed the assets stayed with the owner ? I wouldnt imagine you can purchase the promotion as you would have to obtain licences etc from the BSPA ??

I disagree about signing riders for me it shows disregard and a lack of respect to the supporters.. Why should we pay money to see a made up team of riders who don't really care whether the team wins or loses as long as they get there start money and a couple of points.. The whole team has been a problem all season.. We are currently tracking a team on 2013 GSA of 36.76 inc Andre on 3.56.. Hardly inspiring.. I stated a few weeks ago if the promotors couldn't be bothered then I wouldn't.. It doesn't wash with me that they couldn't find a rider.. For me that translates there is no one out there willing to ride for nothing.. Plymouth last week replaced a rider , bad luck strikes and out for season.. What happens they have a replacement by Tuesday.. I've been unfortunate to lose my local track at long eaton and for 14 years we have travelled to Sheffield but no more stupid treks leaving work no tea and straight up the m1 for us.. Sheffield has a bad apple and until the bad apple is removed Sheffield speedway will keep rotting until it joins Long Eaton in the forgotton pile..

Hoggys comment tonight : Hoggart admits his side were simply outgunned; “It was as tough as we expected, they’re a very good side and I have no problem with them winning because they were just better than us. Everyone in the league is better than us .. We are next to bottom again for a second successive season!! Hello anyone there you built the shambles last 2 year.. Thankfully I have hardened and stopped going , I would normally put up with the rubbish as I would think it might get better.. I have realised it won't and there is no interest from the top.. I really think after 14 years I need a new team..

It's more the fact I go to see Sheffield riders.. Injuries happen I understand but we have shown no effort to rebuild with a Sheffield team.. Guests at 1 , Joe Haines retired now over a week, koppe out a while now, bring back Andre who is past it.. Look at teams like Rye and Plymouth, Poole in elite who have also suffered lots of injuries but they try and get in replacement riders so they can track a 1-7 team.. It helps with team work in the pits and riders ride better in pairs on the track.. I am not paying £30 a week to watch a Sheffield select team.. I have also seen some away performances which are diabolical .. I don't have my rose tinted glasses and listen to Hoggys bullrubbish.. Like I said if we get a Sheffield team to watch I will return

Taken from twitter : A couple of quick #speedway bits; Adam Roynon has broken his collarbone tonight, at A&E in Weston Super Mare at the moment. Dakota North will guest for Adam for Sheffield tomorrow, Auty in for Stead and Olly Greenwood in for Koppe. That's me not going now.. We will be lucky to get 35 points at home .. Season over for me unless we get at least 3 permanent replacement riders and show some interest towards rebuilding for next season

I think anything above 30 will be a achievement !! I await to be proved wrong though

Who cares... Lost interest last season and it has not really returned... we never missed meetings and was there week in week out rain or shine but from 2011 the product put in front of me has been sub standard... last season i think i made about 10 meetings and so far this season i have done 6 team meetings out of 13. I actually think we will struggle tonight Glasgow are dreadful but we do look worse on paper...

I was building the team last week at the test match, Below is very close points wise but may be a little expensive!! Simon Stead 9.33 Richard Lawson 8.29 Adam Roynon 7.81 Andre Compton 5.36 Kyle Newman 5.29 Facundo Albin 3.63 Damien Koppe 3.00 = 42.71 This may fit as points will adjust slightly before the end of the season so may only need fine tuning

So its now official Andre for Hall... Get in one happy bunny that the promotion have finally seen sense and got rid of Hall... Looking at the new averages i believe we now have 9.97 points to play with for a new number one... Doubling up riders are limited as a number of clubs are already at there maximum if 3.. A few who would fit are - Lewis Bridger, Patrick Hougghard, Lukas Dryml, Cameron Woodward ( Infact All Eastbourne team except Bjarne) I feel we need a number one who will gel and bond and hopefully add some experience to help the younger inexperienced riders with set ups etc..

Spin King, How would we get Andre at reserve ?? Im same dont particurly like Lewis Bridger but would be worth a gamble, I dont think we would have anything to lose for the last few meetings.. Just seen Sheffield have denied we have recalled Andre but are in talks

Maybe now a possibility as Andre is back !! The move has come about due to Sheffield wishing to recall Andre Compton to their side and thus ending the 28 day day short term contract we had with the rider following his return to the sport following an absence of over 2 seasons. We wish to thank Andre for his efforts during his short spell at the club and wish him well for the remainder of this season and the future – indeed he’ll be back at Ashfield racing against us in a month’s time! So Andre is in ... Who is out ?? Hopefully Richard Hall out and a new number 1 - Lewis Bridger fits??

2 of us not coming... if they cant tempt me by announcing teams then we will give it a miss..

I can't believe Jake is quitting.. Maybe he should take a leaf out Damien's book.. He has been practising here there and everywhere.. Yet jake appears to be doing less.. A young lad needs to prove himself in the NL.. Even Adam Roynon and Joe Haines have appeared in Nl as recent as last season I believe..
