OdsalBoy Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 is it looking certain that Hall & Wells will be our final two ? I like the risks of signing Albin & Koppe, bit more adventurous and less predictable, which i for one prefer. Just concerned about Hall, would rather final two riders be Wells & Poole. Or even Wells & Nedermark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even Wells & Nedermark. If I was putting the team together I would have gone with either. Wells/ Vissing or Wells/ North But looks like the Promotion are working to a tight budget, and trying to ensure that the team is as strong at home as it possibly can be and that is why they chosen to go with Richard Hall.

speedy bill Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 The last time I saw Terry he was driving buses. There is a Team Manager stood on the terraces every Thursday who I think would do a good job. Jack Lee. i agree he is a ex rider and is tried and tested at buxton lets face it if an elite league team asked him belle vue he must be right for the job and i was told the first year reg wilson was manager it was jack who made the decisoins not reg jack was the jounior team manager at that time go get him neil he must be better than the two muppets we have had to suffer these last two years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 We need to get behind the team we have. Ask Newport, Reading, Oxford followers if they would or would not get behind a team like Sheffield is assembling. Be very careful what you wish for. Newport "followers" didn't turn up when Newport had a team shooting up the league and winning the KOC. Why? Because 10 years of being rubbish eventually leads to a general feeling of, "so what?!" and they stop going, never to return. Once the rot sets in it's hard to turn it around. Yes teams have bad years, thats not bad thing as it means the good years get spread around a bit but thats just it, the good and bad needs to be spread evenly for everyone to stand a chance of maintaining crowds. It's not good for Newport, Stoke, Glasgow (generally), BV etc to be at the bottom of the leagues every year while the same teams win all the time. Sheffield have had 1 poor year and a few of not being great, admittedly this season team doesn't look like it's going to take the league by storm but watching Stead each week and seeing the 3 novices come on should be pretty exciting in itself. The trick is to know when you're rubbish and to give up on winning that year and go for a laugh, to see mates, to see some good racing - the issue is when you're doing that year after year.

Pinny Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Correct Shawn the closure of Newport Speedway is as much Tim Stones fault as it is the Malletts he ran the place so far into the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 ...... but watching Stead each week and seeing the 3 novices come on should be pretty exciting in itself. The trick is to know when you're rubbish and to give up on winning that year and go for a laugh, to see mates, to see some good racing Exactly. Watching speedway should be a social occasion. An entertainment. Tigers have a great stadium, and the potential for an entertaining (that word again) group of incoming riders to freshen the product. Bugger away results -- just get along every Thursday and watch the fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romans lovechild Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 would really like one of the 2 last spots to got to either adam skornicki or mark lemon to add solid back up to steady although these would only be short term and not seen as building for the future.

I'd check your facts before you post. In 2007 Sheffield finished 4th in the league and got into the final because there was a play off. In 2011 they finished 2nd.

Seem to remember two of our worst ever defeats in 2007 as well. 75-15 at Kings Lynn and 69-23 at Rye House in the PL final, even last years team wasn't that bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
