Cue Ball Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 who was the last good rider to leave and come back to us? Sean Wilson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friddy75 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Does anyone know what sort of average Simon Stead would come down to the league on? I see a lot have selected him as a choice to lead the Tigers next season but I just don't see why, he's dropped to reserve at Swindon this year and still isn't scoring to well. He's been getting beaten by doubling up riders with averages a lot lower than his. Doyle and Morris are in the main body and score better, won't their averages be about the same? Although I called for Lambert to replace Schramm when he was struggling and I didn't understand why he wasn't in the team this season after being one of our most consistent in 2011, he isn't someone I'd consider. Hasn't scored well in the main body at two clubs this year, doesn't look like he is going to get any better than a reserve at prem level. Surely better to give a young 3 point local lad like Sarjeant a chance, he could be a trump card! As for Chris Schramm, I agree he puts in so much effort and I enjoy watching the lad ride. And I don't know many more that have had as much bad luck as him but.....every rider that lines up at the tapes tries. But at the end of next season when we've been saying 'Schrammy tries hard but scores naff all every week' arn't we going to regret picking a team with the heart and not the brain?? As for picking Scunthorpe assets, we'll be doing you a favour. Unless your having a 15 man team next year or wanting several riders to take a year out your gonna have to loan out some riders, we're just here to help hahaha!

tigerblues Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Probably no chance but thought I'd get involved Simon Stead Lasse Bjerre Ricky Wells Michael Palm Toft Chris Schramm Joe Haines Stefan Nielsen/James Sarjeant (can't choose - I rate Nielsen but I would love to see Sarjeant in Tigers colours too) Our asset base isn't the healthiest these days, the fact the above is made up of loan riders isn't ideal. One rider I would love at Sheffield is David Bellego but really can't see it happening, think he's incredibly entertaining and potentially a very good rider. Not sure if I'm letting my heart rule my head where Schrammy is concerned, would love him back but we need to know he will have machinery that is up to the job, hopefully coming in for a full season would encourage more backing for him. Haines simply has to be first name on the team sheet, luckily the promotion have already said that's what will happen as long as Joe wants to come back, which I hear he does. Wells has had an up and down year and maybe hasn't done as well as we hoped but got to grips with Owlerton as the season went on, had some good away scores too so there is more to come from him on an average below 7. Can't see Pepe back, his longtrack commitments etc have been more of a problem than we thought IMO. Hall's not going to improve much, and although he is a favourite of mine Sanchez won't either. Skiddy's a tough one - he's ours, he's been with us for all his British career and he has steadily improved each season, but I think he may move on next year and it might not be a bad thing for him. It hasn't been the most enjoyable season (suppose it could always be worse), definitely going to be an interesting winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Ricky Ashworth, Rory Schlein, James Birkenshaw, Lee Complin, Richard Hall, Andrew Moore, Paul Cooper, Ben Wilson, Richie Hawkins, Adam Allott, I would say that they have produced a few riders in previous seasons... Richard Hall started with Newcastle not Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffyscouse Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Stead wont join Sheff - defo MPT either If you dont ant Skideers Scunny may fit him in - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friddy75 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I would think if Stead chooses to double up next year Sheffield will be one of his top choices what with him being a local lad. And the amount of times he's been in or around the pits this season. Although I personally would like to see nine and a half points used on someone else as I don't think he will be as strong a number one as several are hoping. We may not get Palm Toft, and I'd like to keep Skiddy at Sheffield. But I doubt Skiddy will be very high on Scunnys list as they are already going to struggle to fit Auty, Howe, Jorgensen, Arnio, Palm Toft, Birks, Irving, Neilsen and the Two Worralls into a team of 7. Also, when I visited earlier this season Rob G mentioned the prospect of an exciting capture for the club the following season if it was to happen. I also fancy Masters might be keen as Scunny did there best to sign him when he was dropped. So as I've mentioned before we here to help if you need to loan a few out!

MWC Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 After the disapointment with the team this year thought more people would have had a say on this subject.? Are we all waiting for the first signing to get started or everyone still down about this year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Machin said in last weeks speedway star that he's seriously considering putting the club up for sale. Machin is a Promoter who can see where the sport is going but can't seem to do anything about it.You can't blame him if he is not willing to lose a lot of money paying over the odds to run the sport.

Backless Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm just quite surprised that the conversation of Sheffield possibly being up for sale hasn't come up yet! Well, if you're going to stir it, why not quote Machin's consideration about selling alongside his suggestion that, if they could, 95% of promoters would sell up?

Couldn't blame the guy at all, with whatever decsion he deicides to make for the club. He's done more than enough to keep the club running as it is. Well, if you're going to stir it, why not quote Machin's consideration about selling alongside his suggestion that, if they could, 95% of promoters would sell up? Hardly stiring. Just pointing out the prospect that we could end up being one of the many clubs up for sale. And I agree with him, i mean who wouldn't sell their club with everything that going on in British speedway? Only a couple I'd imagine.
