Steve55 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Arnt we forcast some wet stuff ? According to this evenings forecast we are due for some rain (not known exactly how much, but not thought to be torrential) during the day, but this should be mainly on the pennines. From early afternoon it should be to the west that gets most rain and staying away from 1700 hours onwards. & No this is not Neil Machins forecast!This could well have changed come tonights & tomorrow mornings TV so keep your eyes & ears open. Really hope it stays away, we don't want another year like last & I want to see some more quality racing at Owlerton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Stead to card a 15 point haul and remind the Owlerton faithful of the Sean Wilson era. Albin to ride the boards, lay the bike right down and give it everything he's got. Koppe to put opposition reserves under pressure and keep them at bay. Knight to have a go, but expect a fairly pedestrian meeting after last weeks hairy moments. Hall to try and emualte Stead and smash opposition heat leaders to shreds, probably blow an engine or two in the process. Wells to try and smile a bit more and look a little more interested, may turn up in Wolves kevlars. Haines to shed a primary chain in his first ride, but will gain consistency in heats, a mid meeting Steady pep talk could inject some late heat blasts from him. Â According to my calculations - Â Sheffield 46 Leicester 44 Edited April 10, 2013 by OdsalBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshirePudding Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Great win for Sheffield! Especially with Haines having such a poor night. Seriously think we can do well this season it's a good team a couple of riders away from a great team. Â Steady unlucky again not to get a max, Richard Hall carrying on his great start to the season absolutely untouchable, with good back up from Wells and Facu. Lets go win this competition now to shove it right in those doubters mouths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 what a meeting, Albin was top drawer tonight, great signing, hall and steady did us proud too. SLight concerns remain over Koppe and Haines looked off it tonight, still think Wells could do a bit better but things are looking good thats for sure. #PleasedTigersFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SAINT Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TIGERS ! riders and management alike, been needing a transfusion of new blood for years and now there's new life !!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cue Ball Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I thought last week I had noticed it and after this week I'm sure... atmosphere has returned to the terraces! Â Great result for the mighty Tigers, we have a trio of heat leaders that can go out and do the business, a second string (Facu) who entertains, a second string (Haines) who we know can get better and Jake is starting to look like a decent reserve and will only get better, we just need to get Koppe firing (talking of which I noticed after the meeting that Stead was working with him and giving him some pointers) and we'll be a team to be reckoned with.

lionking Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) What a wasted 4 hour journey Half hearted Lions performance & why did blackbird take 14 when he had only scored 1 point. Â Sheffield were nothing special but were far better then title favorites Leicester. Â Nieminen looked miles off the pace maybe he is past his prime while Doolan seemed more interested in racing Bjerre then trying to catch the rider in front. Nielsen was steady but apart from heat 12 looked too shy to come off the inside. Â Only people that seemed to want it was Karlsson he looked fast & it was a gating masterclass Edited April 11, 2013 by lionking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
