SCB Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Is there any riders available, with Stead and Birks combined average could get two 8+ riders into team but I doubt there is anybody. You have 13.5 to replace the pair of them. Far better to look for a 5.5 rider for Birks and stick with guests. Whats Tero Aarnio like at Sheffield? Or Mathieu Tresarrieu?

SCB Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Aarnio would be a good shout and as you say keep using guests for Stead. You're stuck with guests for Stead because you can't get an ex-EL rider as none of them will convert to high enough an average to be better than the gusts you have available due to the 6 point EL rule so it rules out the likes of Sundstrom and Larsen (pre-injury) and I can only think of 1 10 point ex-PL rider who might still have his average and be eligible but it depends on the wording of the rule - Jason Doyle - and thats not going to happen these days.

Cue Ball Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Gutted for Ash, can't even think of anybody that you would contemplate using - unless Pepe Franc would fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Gutted for Ash, can't even think of anybody that you would contemplate using - unless Pepe Franc would fit? Birks 5-83 Franc 5-67 Whether Pepe could commit to all of Sheffield's fixtures is another matter of course, but that hardly seems to matter nowadays.

Blackadder Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would prefer Matt Tresarrieu. Better around Owlerton than Tero and would be company for David Bellego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sheffield racing at Peterborough next Friday, 17th, stepping in and filling the big gap in our fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not a great choice for a guest for Simon Stead then. Berwick, Newcastle or Rye House are the only teams not riding that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Agreed, just remembered seeing somewhere that he was riding over there and wondered if he was and if so how he is doing. Sounds like they have spoken to several riders, so obviously the promotion have come up with some names where we can't!

spin king Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Anders Thomsen would be decent shout in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Speedway Star is today reporting that Sheffield are about to sign a rider new to British Speedway, so that rules out most of the suggestions above. Any clues as to who it may be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
