FAST GATER Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not sure, he said maybe it's time to move on. Could still do a job in the PL if fit and able to avoid injuries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerite Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Retiring ?It didn't seem like it last week when he was asked at the end of season awards night.Andre is one of my all time favourite Sheffield riders and up there with the legends at Owlerton. Wish him all the best and hope he gets fixed up with a team for next season. Edited October 22, 2015 by Tigerite 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not sure, he said maybe it's time to move on. He actually said 'it looks like it's time to move on' which would suggest he has been told that he is surplus to requirements. Personally think that he could still have done us a good job, but there you go we will now never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romans lovechild Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 good luck champ wherever he decides to ride. if its not with us, so be it, scunny not to far for him and he does know the way around there.(maybe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcb7 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 A rider like Andre shouldn't be considered in my opinion as someone who could do a job as a middle order man. The fellas a 'Tigers' legend, right up there with some of the best. Personally I hope he calls time on his fabulous carrier whilst he's fit and healthy. Good luck Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Andre He started the 2014 season at reserve. If the man still feels the urge to continue then so be it, and he would make a good middle order ride for another club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'd still sign Compton as my 3rd heat leader/senior second string. I think if you could pair him at at 3/4 with another 6.XX rider you'd have a decent pairing and would hope one of them would step it up each meeting. Andres one of them rides I'd like in my team, takes no rubbish and when the going gets tough, up he pops. Plus he's always been a rider I've liked just to add a bit of bias to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcb7 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 He guys, I'm not saying he couldn't 'do a job' for someone, far from it, and yes, If he has the urge to carry on racing then he must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romans lovechild Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) will be very surprised if we chose to go with steady and Jason, which wouldn't leave many points to play with,and almost guarantee places for Arthur and paco, the questions are a) would steady want to/be fit enough to make a return b)would Jason want to double up Edited October 24, 2015 by romans lovechild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 will be very surprised if we chose to go with steady and Jason, which wouldn't leave many points to play with,and almost guarantee places for Arthur and paco, the questions are a) would steady want to/be fit enough to make a return b)would Jason want to double up Both Simon and Jason has clearly stated on more than one occasion that they both want to be back at Sheffield next season. If there is any doubts over one of them then I would say it is Simon, the injuries he sustain at Rye were pretty serious and they are or were not healing as well as expected. I don't think that if we sign both riders for next it will mean that we would have both Arthur and Paco, in fact the introduction of the British number 7 will probably spell the end of one and I think that will be Paco. So if the top 2 is Steady and Jason, the third heatleader has to be a rider of an average between 6 and 7 points, the favourite for that has to be Ty Proctor assuming he can get his qualification for his visa. With all that in mind we could go with the following Stead 10.41 Garrity 8.46 Proctor 6.68 Bates 5.44 Sissis 3.71 British Junior 3.00. That would leave us with 4.80 for the last rider That is what I think that is the team that I think the Promotion will be looking to bring in/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
