  1. Sean wasn't excluded from the meeting just heat 1.
  2. Tom Brennan might be on Sheffield's radar,he's on the right sort of average to build a new middle order.
  3. That's the thing about Roman,he was a good (but very hard!) rider when he was fully focused. People have mentioned Nicki,but wasn't his brother Ronnie just as robust?
  4. Only ever seen a double tape touch exclusion once, but it was way back in time. One of the riders involved was Neil Collins,sometime in the early 90's.I do remember Dad and myself were sat in the Panorama Room looking down at the start line when it happened.
  5. Don't really need to win,just get the bonus point so get to 33 and have done with it.
  6. Greg Bartlett got excluded for unfair riding after his first ever race for Sheffield back in 1994.He locked up on the 4th turn on the 3rd lap while in 3rd and the Ref decided he had impeded the rider in 4th.Not seen a decision like that since.Tom Brennan was extremely hard on Jan Kvech last week at Owlerton in a move Nicki/Sean Wilson would have been hard pressed to beat!
  7. Last years play off final 2nd leg! But one that I always remember is the 1985 Overseas Final at Bradford won by Shawn after a run off with "the great enemy from Halifax" who he beat in heat one as well.Also it was only the second time I'd seen 'Sudden Sam' and in one ride he went from 4th to 1st then proceeded to work his way back to last in a epic race!
  8. Sadly this will go down as my dad's last meeting (well over 1500 home meetings at Owlerton) as he passed away suddenly in the early hours of today. He first went as a 17 year old in 1960,the track record was about 72 seconds,he got to see Jack go round in 58.92 aged 81. He was still watching racing from Poland last evening on TV,first Jack's Polish team then when that got curtailed,we ended up watching big brother Chris and Tobi! It pleased him to see Kyle back on form,he liked riders like Kyle,the mainstay of league speedway riders down the years,but his absolute favorite rider was Jim Airey.
  9. Heat Leader https://worldofspectrum.net/item/0012577/ At The Tapes https://worldofspectrum.net/item/0013397/
  10. No,but I did have 'At the Tapes' a few years earlier circa 1984/85. You could break into the program listing and alter riders averages so you could rack up 60 point home wins! Just looked Heat Leader up and it looks a newer version of At the Tapes.
  11. No worries,anyhow we also get a free signed team photo,can't beat that !
  12. I'd go for Jack,Tobi is more exciting to watch,but sometimes takes a couple of rides to get going.Ideally we'd have both, plus Tai.
  13. Tai Josh Jack H Chris H Tobi Kyle Jason/Dan Just need a higher points limit!
