smod Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 OK, let's get going. 3 days out. We know the Berwick team, I guess. Any idea of Sheffield's side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Man Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 depends who we sack, who we replace them with and whether they are able ride, and if they cant ride who we can get to use RR instead of quite simple really 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sheffield Promotion need to get out the Sheffield v Edinburgh 2010 Play Off Semi Final DVD, to inspire the Sheffield team. I think that we are going to need another performance like that again for Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Kelly 41 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 According to BSPA website (great thing this internet) the Sheffield 1-7 still has Adam Roynon in it. Sheffield's own website is talking about "including new boy Proctor" on Thursday. Less than 53 hours before the tapes go up, and the rule-book says the home team must notify the visitors of their line-up at least 5 days before the meeting, and notify the referee, BSPA, etc, of both teams at least 3 days before. Can I ask - have Sheffield asked to change their 1-7? Has permission, apparently denied on Saturday, now been granted for any change? Was this within the (72-hour?) deadline?

BBSC Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hopefully Berwick will go there on Thursday night, get enough points to qualify then we can put this farcical r/r issue to bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 In the Sheffield Star:- Ty Proctor’s move to Sheffield is hanging in the balance. The Aussie, who rides for Elite League Wolverhampton, was signed recently as a replacement for Adam Roynon as Tigers management looked to bolster their side. But the move is on hold because of an issue over his visa with question marks over his eligibility to double-up. British Speedway bosses meet tomorrow to thrash out the problem; Tigers won’t know until then whether they can include him in the side for the Knockout Cup tie with Berwick at Owlerton that night. Sheffield co-promoter Damien Bates said: “As far as we are concerned Ty should be able to join Sheffield. We had done all we could and then were told there was an issue. Hopefully he’ll get clearance this week. It’s frustrating because we want to get on after a very promising start.” Sheffield submitted their re-declared line-up to the Speedway Promoters’ Association for approval by the management committee. But no new team declaration has been published; that means Proctor is still not officially a Sheffield rider. It means rider and club alike face an anxious wait. Sheffield find themselves 18pts down from the first leg at Shielfield Park but Bates believes the side has what it takes to turn the situation around. “We have to be positive” he said. “We go into the meeting knowing we have to get at them right from the start and see where it takes us. And we need out brilliant supporters to get right behind us, as they have done all season.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the rules regarding when you have to declare your Team .Usual c*ck up in speedway.If no new team is declared surely they have to go with original Team (whatever that is).This has rain -off written all over it.

screm Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 If Proctors move to Sheffield is blocked then Sheffield cant be allowed the same facility again surely, they must sign someone else, reinstate Roynon or go with a NL guest. The BSPA having made one error last weekend cant make another tomorrow surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smod Posted May 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) At last we hear more of the story from Sheffield. If the border authorities don't give Proctor the move then the Tigers' 1-7 remains as is, with Adam Roynon in it. If they don't get Proctor, it is either the old team with Adam riding, the old team with r/r for him or the old team with an NL guest. Or the threatened afternoon (but not evening) rain coming to their rescue like a gust of kamikaze wind. Edited May 7, 2014 by smod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Third Man Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nothing anywhere to say what the team is with just over 24hrs to go. Not good with people wanting to know whether it will be worth going, especially with the weather looking unsettled as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
