oriole Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Really Happy with Haines, Wells and Hall. Richard is pure entertainment. Top banana. His last 2 rides at Newcastle in the devastating Ko Cup defeat were brilliant. PLRC most entertaining rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friddy75 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 1 ??? 2 Haines 3 ??? 4 Hall 5 Wells 6 ??? 7 ??? Fill in the gaps. Possibly Stead at 1. I'm guessing two from Lambert, Sargeant and Jake Knight at reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 If Sheffield wanted to change race day to Sunday, are other local tracks allowed to object if they think it would affect their attendance? If so would have thought Buxton would not be too happy about this. How many Sunday's could they run, would Stock Cars take priority on dates they wanted?

montie Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NOT HALL Speedway needs more rider like Hall,after all its the entertainment business and he is just that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Is Machin staying or selling up ? I thought I read a few weeks back he was looking to get out. would the other guy there take it on ?Or hasnt he got the knowledge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILKO Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I am sure he is staying, and what was reported was taken out of context yet again. I think what he was saying was that most clubs would be up for sale if a buyer came in and that includes Sheffield. Not quite the same.

squall Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 1 ??? 2 Haines 3 ??? 4 Hall 5 Wells 6 ??? 7 ??? Fill in the gaps. Possibly Stead at 1. I'm guessing two from Lambert, Sargeant and Jake Knight at reserve. Lambert looks doubtful. Sarjeant AND Knight at reserve would be suicide. I'd take 1, but not both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Steady would be great. Hall no much cop away from home. We need a good season in 2013 to try to get the lost fan's back. Stick to Thursday tried and tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squall Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'd take Hall back. He provided most of the entertainment this season and that's what I pay to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 If we get Steady you will see plenty of entertainment. Plus plenty of point's away from home. If we get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratton Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 If you change race nights? be great if Steady can ride for the Tigers.I think he can average near on 11 at home? i certainly want him back at Swindon and Mark my words he will do better no problem.If you don't change race nights maybe Steady would have to go elsewhere hope it is Sheffield though.

spin king Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Just got back after a week in Salou so not seen much regarding news for speedway. Not overly keen on the move to Sunday racing, I work every other Sunday alot would depend upon what time they move the start time ideally later the better for maybe a 6.30pm start but that would rule out my mate Squall so a start time around 3.00pm to 4.30pm might see Squall still been able to go. But in saying that for speedway is a sport that should be raced under lights and day time speedway just does not seem right. On to team matters really do hope that the signing of Simon Stead comes off, I think that he would be the type of rider who would be good for the club. He would capture the Sheffield speedway public imagination and the fact that he is from Sheffield also goes down well with the Sheffield supporters. I think if we want to be successful I think we should forget Richard Hall, yes he is entertaining around Sheffield, but the away form lets him down and for me he is a luxury rider, sooner rather go with Ricky Wells who maybe does not score so many points at home but scores far more away from home. Would love to see Simon Lambert return to the club, would make an ideal reserve and James Sargeant to partner him again another local rider who I think could do well for the club. As second heatleader would like to see Josh Grajczonek, for me a very underrated rider who is better than his average suggests. So I would be looking at a team so far of (1) Simon Stead. (2) Joe Haines (3) Ricky Wells (4) (5) Josh Grajczonek, (6) Simon Lambert (7) James Sargeant That would leave us with around 7.14 to play around with for the last rider. Maybe a young Dane coming in someone that the club could bring on as an asset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrossifan Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Or could they be thinking of striking up a deal with the stadium owners to switch race nights with the greyhounds on Tuesday. No other Premier League track runs on a Tuesday so no fixture classes, and no Elite club rides on a Tuesday. Also running on a Thursday clashes with Swindon, so running on a Tuesday would free up a Sheffield born rider to sign for the club and double up with . No Tuesdays in UK due to Swedish League where lots of riders ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 No Tuesdays in UK due to Swedish League where lots of riders ride Would rule out Swedes, but if you look at the Premier I don't think there are many that ride Sweden on or the Swedish League that runs on a Tuesday. Also Sheffield don't have a strong history of signing foreign riders. But pretty academic as the Promtion have stated that they are considering riding Sunday instead.

Friddy75 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Spin king I think your teams what I was thinking, but unfortunately it looks like the number 4 spot would be filled by Hall, as it said in the star 3 riders will be retained from this season. And they couldn't include both Hall and Franc due to long track commitments. After the slagging off Franc got mid season I think it's safe to say Hall will be returning. Agree with squall that Hall is entertaining, but better riders will just block his line as Auty did Monday. And his team riding in non-existent. Whilst he's bombing round the boards he NEVER looks back to help out his lower averaged team mate. End of season Averages now on BSPA website. 1 Stead 9.20 2 Haines 5.04 3 Wells 6.47 4 Hall 6.89 5 ???? 7.49 6 Lambert 4.41 7 Sarjeant 3.00 Options at 5= Masters 7.43 Doolan 7.29 Bjerre 7.31 Grajczonek 7.44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryderman Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Does anyone remember watching damien koppe and mitchell davey have a few 2nd half practices after the rye house meeting? I believe damien comes in on a 5.00 and mitchell on a 3.00, could be worthy inclusions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koppe i mentioned last year amazed no one got him heard he had a good job.?Would be a good signing for the Tigers and i think he would do well at Owlerton.
