Marcelle Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 So our promotion say we won't be going down the road of resigning former riders!mmmmmmm Not Impressed, backward step. Apparently we tried to get a fixture last Thursday but no teams were prepared to help !!!!!!!!! That is what we are up against.Wonder if roynon will be offered his place back ? Thought the stadium was closed for maintenance work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hel'n'Back Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Good luck to Ben, let's hope he has his gating boots on... cause he's not always been forthcoming when it comes to overtaking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendover Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yep, good move as well !!! Sorry, have to disagree. Been there seen it failed. People were slating the possible re-signing of Richard Hall who is a far better rider yet are happy to see a gating tart re-signed.Unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILKO Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Simon never seemed to get out of first gear at Sheffield. His best score being 5 +1 twice and averaged 4.4 at home. I am sure Ben will score more than this very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japser Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Some talk recently of returning to "fortress sheffield". I remember Ben being part of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Lets hope he hits the ground running,we need him to be in the big points straight away because I think it will be a tough meeting tomorrow.Shame he cant start at reserve.

spin king Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Taking the bottom three of the Sheffield team and their averahges from rides for Sheffield this season, we can see that this is not so much a gamble for the club. Home Taylor Poole 5.47 with BP and 4.55 without BP. Simon Nielsen; 4.40 with BP and 3.60 without BP. Josh Bates; 4.53 with BP and 4.00 without BP Away Taylor Poole 5.07 with BP and 4.00 without BP. Simon Nielsen; 3.87 with BP and 2.97 without BP Josh Bates; 3.75 with BP and 3.50 without BP Overall Taylor Poole 5.27 with BP and 4.25 without BP. Simon Nielsen; 4.23 with BP and 3.32 without BP Josh Bates; 4.00 with BP and 3.57 without BP Out of the three Simon has looked the least comfortable around Owlerton, and I am sure that Ben Wilson can at least match or even more improve on them.

Might be a good omen though: Sheffield are always a better team when there's a 'Wilson' in the ranks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would definitely recommend Nico Covatti as a very good addition to the Sheffield team. Whoever takes him on will get not only a very accomplished and skilful rider but also a wholehearted battler who interacts superbly with the supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think that Ben Wilson proved a point tonight. Two full seasons out of the sport and a handful of National League meetings. He not only goes out in heat 1 and gains a paid win behind his team mate, he also beats the opposing number 1 who is in the Team GB starting line up. He then goes on to score in every race, gets yet another paid win Not bad for a start from Ben. . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you seem to be in the minority regarding Ben, you will have to tell us us all what you would like served with your Humble Pie No need for humble pie, well done to the lad. I'm not going to deny I would have preferred someone new to Owlerton. But, If you read my post again, my main gripe was the number of fans on here criticising the possibility of re-signing R. Hall using the "been there, seen it, time for something new" catchphrase then the same fans welcoming the re-signing of B. Wilson, who, has also "been there, seen it". p.s. it didn't stop me attending or cheering him on. p.p.s. haven't done the lottery in years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlieboy Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Great meeting last night good to see most of the team firing.Taylor and Ty doing what they were brought in for.Hope Ty isn't injured,he was on fire last night.Nasty looking crash,glad to see him get up.Well done to Ben Wilson,great return but I hope it continues.The score flattered Newcastle with Ty,Steady and Andre dropping big points.Well done to all the team.Think we will miss Steady for 4 meetings world cup week which isn't ideal just when we getting our season started.
