Sheffield 2014


Recommended Posts

Well if we do run next year there'll be no Ricky Wells as he's been confirmed as a Workington rider.

 

Not sure if I'm sad or ecstatic about this....

 

I'm sad :(

British Superbikes for me next year... sod speedway. Good luck to Ricky, hope you have a good season

Brilliant news, and there's no way a rider will sign unless he is absolutely convinced that the team will run.

 

My money's on Lawson, but hopefully Stead and Albin will follow. Get Ollie Greenwood in and that leaves 17 points for the remaining three - which could include Roynon.

Add in Andre and that makes just 1.

1. Stead

2. Skidmore

3.Roynon

4.Compton

5. Lawson

6. Albin

7. Greenwood/Koppe

 

Would be a solid enough side for me. I think we just need a really good side around Owlerton, and i think that'd be one team that wouldn't be beat at home all season. But as others have said, we really need Facu to step up a bit. Absolutely looks the part and pulled off some crazy passes last season, but really does need to get some decent machinery so he can really show what he can do.

Would be surprised to see Hugh Skidmore back at Sheffield, as there seems to be a mutual love in between both him and Redcar.

 

Would love to see Ollie Greenwood at Sheffield, but I think that would depend upon whether or not Scunthorpe plan to use him.

 

I think Ollie Allen would be a better proposition than Richie Lawson on a lower average give us more points to play around, but Richie lives locally and maybe he could be more likely to sign.

 

Got to bring back Adam Roynon, exciting rider who rides Sheffield well and get the fans on their feet.

 

Ideally would love to have Andre back at reserve.

 

Steady is a no brainer.

 

Facudo would be nice with better machinery

 

Other riders who could come on the radar.

 

Ramus Jensen (surplus to requirement at Plymouth)

 

David Bellego (could be ready to move from Berwick with riding in Poland)

 

Dakota North

 

Nico Covatti

 

Alex Edberg

 

Michael Palm Toft.

 

At least the decision has been taken early and still plenty of riders out there to try and get into the Tigers

Lets hope the first signing isn't Jacobsson,Hall or sanchez.After the last 2 years we need some decent riders in our team that can ride home and away.Workington and Rye look to have attractive teams,lets hope we can.I am a bit confused and worried that neil wants out yet he has told Hoggy to sort the team !!!!!!!! It doesn't fill me with much excitement if Hoggy is picking the team after the last 2 years.

Throwing a bit of a curve-ball in here. I haven't seen Benji Compton's name mentioned. Would Tigers fans have him back, along with elder brother Andre? Benji C seemed to be scoring quite well in the CL towards the end of last season, which is why I mention him.

Maybe the people who are taking over have given the go ahead to start the team building. Just waiting for the legal process to go through. They don't want to be left with the scraps. After the last two seasons we need to have a competitive team.
