Sheffield 2015


Recommended Posts

welcome back taylor, hope he can recover fully and get back to the form he was showing before his crash, just leaves ty to be the last piece of the jigsaw and I reckon we can look forward to the season with some optimism, thanks to the management on giving us a line up we can feel confident about, and maybe andre for team manager if he does choose to retire.

Well this is the most optimistic ive been about a team for quite some time. Very chuffed.

 

Welcome back Taylor !

 

So ... just one more place to fill ! who does everyone think ? whos it between ? my money is on Ty Proctor

 

Hear Covatti mentioned a few times, along with Proctor, or maybe Ben Wilson ?

I think that there is a massive clue given when the Promotion has said that Arthur Sissis will be sharing workshop facilities with Josh Bates and Ty Proctor.

Whoever is the final jigsaw piece, Sheffield will be needing at least a couple of riders improving their averages to full heatleader status, to support Stead, home and away.

At the start of 2014 Proctor had an average of over 9 didn't he? That being the case with a bit of confidence he should at least put a point and a half on what he has now. Bellego should be quite good at home, but from what the Berwick fans are saying - suspect away on the smaller tracks. Birks again is another who is good around Owlerton and if he gets back to his best should also increase his average by anything up to two points. He has before!

On the subject of a team manager wouldn't mind seeing Eric Boocock back. Knows the job, had some input on track creation at the backend of this year and if nothing else was entertaining in the pits with his basic advice, usually given in colourful language!

Ty's 9.22 was his 2012 Elite average converted to Premier when he joined Plymouth in 2013.His last full Premier season was for Redcar and he finished on 8.34 which you would think he could reach again or with half a point,

 

If Arthur scores well from the off then there's a fair chance that anyone bar Steady could end up at reserve at some point.

Thanks for that Andrew, knew he'd been over 9 at some time recently (two years is recent for me!)I'd settle for him finishing with 8.3 next year - if he is Sheffields' seventh rider that is!

Think Bellego will do a job home and away,can win a race at any track if he is in the mood .

Great signing IF hes fully fit from the off.Expecting Proctor to be the last signing and that should make us really solid.Looking forward to the new season all ready.Lets hope for an injury free season and a successful one.Well done to the promotion.I just hope we have all the work permits in place and that theres no comebacks or alterations to sissis average.

Really like the way the team building has gone and looking at the prospect of including Ty Proctor as the final rider I can only see things getting so much better for the coming season.

 

When you have rider of Simon Stead standard you are have to be very careful about the way you build the team, and basically the Promotion have done what I wanted and expected and built a team around Steady.

 

Ty Proctor had just started to find his feet when he got himself injured last season, and a fit and keen Ty Proctor should be good enough to put a point on that average.

 

David Bellego is a cracking rider around Sheffield, he should be capable of beating anyone around Sheffield, his away form could be a bit suspect, but should be able to maintain his starting average at least.

 

Ash Birks had a poor and injury hit season last season, but he is back at a track that he rides well and I think once his confidence grows he can put something on his starting average.

 

Taylor Poole, might have a slow start from his injury, but he a slow start last season and then came on with a bang, and he could well put something on his average.

 

Josh Bates, had his learning season last season, and with an all round team I think the pressure is off for him and I think that he will put something on his average.

 

Arthur Sissis comes with a massive reputation, with that reputation we have to be optimistic that he can put on that average.

 

And last but not least we have the Skipper, the leader and the guy who is of the top dogs in the Premier League, and can win races on most tracks on a regular basis.

 

The one thing is if this team that hopefully include Ty Proctor will be very difficult to beat at Sheffield, and I doubt teams will be looking forward to coming to Sheffield next season, and if we can make a clean sweep at home (Fortress Owlerton) and nick a point or two or three away occasionally who know we could well make the Play offs.
