Steve55 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Seen in Sheffield Star today that Hoggy has said it's vital that tonights meeting with Scunny goes ahead so that the assessed riders get their new averages so that our new rider can be brought into the team! Says that a deal has been agreed with this guy and that all that's stopping him being brought in is the averages. Any idea who it is? Lots of speculation, but who is it? Nothing on the official website though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVEK Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Interesting in the programme last night, the emphasis that Andre is only on a 28 day contract for Glasgow....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I hope it's Adam. Just 4 or 5 from him would be better than they're getting now fro Jake Knight and would allow him time to get back into things at his won pace while anywhere else he may be needed to score 7-10 straight away.

Steve55 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Can't see it being Andre as it states a deal's been done and that whilst he's waiting he's not earning. Adam well there's a different story, however as it has been pointed out there wouldn't be any pressure on him to perform initially, but how is his confidence going to be after yet another bad one! Don't get me wrong having seen this guy at his best I'd love him to ride for the Tigers. Rather see him mixing it with the opposition than a bloke riding 20 to 30 yards behind the other three riders!

tigerblues Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I'll have 50p on it being Adam Roynon. Me too. Despite his injury problems I'm very surprised he's been without a team since he returned from injury.

spin king Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I hope its Adam as well, I am a big fan of his. Sheffield and Adam are made for each other at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 made for each other,, does that mean that both of them are not doing too well at the moment and given time. both will improve.. adam will, dont know about sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friddy75 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 If its Roynon for Knight, it will be the most excited I've been about the tigers since 2011 when we had Parker, Ashworth and Auty. Still need the management to do there bit though when it comes to the team. Put Roynon(if it is) at 4. Wells at five and Hall at three away and swap them for home matches. PLEASE BE ROYNON!! 🙏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundp Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) If Adam could guarantee to be injury free, there would be a line of PL promoters after him, that's the only reason he is a free agent, and Sheffield well its a match made in heaven almost, and how badly they need a rider of Adams calibre, even if only 75% match fit.

SCB Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 i think they need a bit more than just adam to turn things around. TBF, Shefield are going to win nothing. The noly thing they can do now is win at home, Adam in the 1-5 with Facundo in reserve should mean as close to certain home wins as Sheffield can get.

Guest WTF1 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 looking at tonights result sheffield need a few riders. You could always have David Howe and we'll have Adam Roynon at Scunthorpe, please someone have David Howe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel'n'Back Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I would love David Howe at Sheffield at some point, he's just having a run of bad luck with injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Obviously Adams neurologist and himself will know best but I really fear for the lad returning to racing, you can't take to many bangs to the head....will he be the same rider?? Because psychologically it's only natural to think twice to put your body line.... Broken bones heal, the brain invariably doesn't... Saying that he deserves a break of luck, just hope he's not pushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well after the hammering we took tonight lets hope that they don't keep us waiting too long for the name of our new rider! Hoping he is going to be our saviour 'cos boy do we look like we need one. It's got to be someone worth watching or the gaps on the terraces are going to be huge. If it's only somebody who would make us unbeatable at home. Adam Roynon will be a big gamble, but that's how we started the year, with three relatively unknowns. Adam can do the business, or rather he could, prior to his last injury. Let's hope if it is him he soon gets back in the groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerowl Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My god, do we need some new riders. This team is worse than last year and that is saying something. Six new riders might just see us right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
