Sheffield 2013


Recommended Posts

I read recently that Machin is pleased with season ticket sales. Has anyone who bought a season ticket, been told if the Tiger Token can be used in the snack bar or just the public bar (or even towards buying a carvery). Can they be "carried forward" and used the follwing week if you do not want to use it on night of issue.

Has anyone heard any more about the offer to allow you to use a season ticket at away tracks in order to obtain admission at a discounted price. It seems to me the incentive to but a season ticket has changed but not fully explained.

With the offer saying it is based on a minimum of twently matches would also like to know what the extra fixtures would be if Sheffield did not progress in the Cup Trophy or qualify for the play offs (not to mention the possiblilty that the weather could hamper chances of this Thursday's match being off.

everyone i have talked to hasnt got a season ticket

 

It matters. They have different gates in Heat 2 for a start.

 

so make sure the strongest reserve has the right gate in heat 2 and then swap them around, simple

Yes this is the same Sanchez who scored a 15 point max away at Scunthorpe and won Sheffield the match, so his equipment can't have been that bad. Also so that you are informed Sanchez had two offers of a team place for this season but chose to decline them both for good reasons.

 

Are you going to have a go at Albin for buying used equipment? What the point of your post was I don't know and think your lol pointed at someones lack of sponsorship/money is in bad taste.

No point at all as usual. Perhaps if riders used less flashy equipment the sport wouldn't be hissing what little is left of its cash into the hands of people tuning / selling equipment. Chico did a good job for us on that "crappy and dated " equipment and the wheels well and truly stayed off the team after he was injured. Seen to recall Skiddy having a good season on Chris Louis old equipment too. It's not how new it is it's what you can do with it!!

Well it now looks like everyone's fears are coming to haunt us.. The bottom 4 have consistently failed to beat opposition riders in the 4 premier league matches so far : Redcar away - 3 times from 18 rides.. Redcar home 5 times 19 rides.. Workington home 8 from 16 .. Berwick away 4 from 16 .. Our season is already starting to spiral out of control and if changes are not made soon it will be too late

Don't fully understand your figures, but would agree that things have to change. Seen different posts about when you can/can't change riders, but as soon as is possible Damien Koppe has to go. As hard as he tries (and I give him credit for that) he just cannot ride Owlerton. As it is his home track I think it is important that he should be able to! However it also appears he doesn't do that well away either!

Got to persist with Albin as he has potential and with help Knight might possibly improve - a little.

From what I've seen and read the management just don't seem to understand or are turning a blind eye (which might be nearer the truth) to what's obvious to everyone else. There must be a decent rider out there without a team (not going to speculate) so get him to Sheffield ASAP. It may well be the only way to save the Tigers - especially if Bradford do start up again next year.

paul starke looking for prem place

I I am amazed the number of times Paul Starke comes on the forum touting for aTeam place,surely he has been in contact with every Promotion and been turned down before posting on this forum seems a complete waste of time advertising on here

Id probably say not to Paul Starke, nothing against Paul, but I don think he is what we are looking for and probably wouldnt be consistent in PL, would be a case of "same meat different gravy" in my opinion.

 

Sedgemen or Poole for me please, would either of those fit?

 

If i had my way = Rocco Scopollite.
