Arson fire Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Would that one be Allen. Who are you alluding to? Oliver Allen has retired or am I in a time warp! You can talk about Jason Garrity and Brady Kurtz, but the best value rider for the Championship is Jack Holder, especially around Owlerton. Remember him posting the best time around Sheffield for a couple of years until Steady went out determined to beat it in the following heat (0.1 off the track record!). Holder is the man for Sheffield. Jake Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Jake Allen Oops! and I put him in the team a few days ago, I put it down to the aluminium pans my mother used for cooking when I was a kid! Sorry Junior fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hard got 2 pointers coming in winning a few NL races is a far cry from PL. Grajczonic Bates Allen Bjerre Howarth Branford JPB That's my guess pretty confident about most of them being in the side except maybe one. Junior so we can take it Rob will be there if you're posting him in the team 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 I think it fair to say it is highly unlikely that Brady Kurtz will ride in the Championship this year, he only rode for Plymouth for a few months and left at the first available opportunity. He did say at the end of the 2015 season that he was not interested in the then Premier League. Chris Harr is is likely to want massive money and could prove very expensive. Grajczonek is the one that interests me and thinking of the team budget and the average he is on he would prove to be a solid number 1 for the club. Like most fans at Sheffield I am sorry that Jason Garrity has not been asked back, he connected well with the fans and had started to mastered the track and was capable of beating anyone around Sheffield, but injuries and some of his away form was not great at times, and the one thing that has held the club back over the last two seasons has been injuries to our top rider. As for Steady if anyone had listen to his interview at the last match of the season would have known that it sound very much like a farewell speech. Either way will be interesting to see how the Promotion go about building the team for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way will be interesting to see how the Promotion go about building the team for next season. I think you are dead right here. Kurtz didn't want to be at Plymouth and with the possible exception of the NL fours did them very little good at all. I think Harris will be wanting big terms and hope he gets a wake up call. He's not as good as he thinks he is. I can only assume that Garrity not returning is something to do with off track escapades. At times last season, he was brilliant.

Bagpuss Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think Harris would be a fantastic addition to the second tier and would put bums on seats if he can get a ride somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leander Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 SHEFFIELD ? 1 David Bellego 7.63 2 Kyle Howarth 7.18 3 Ty Proctor 6.68 4 Lasse Bjerre 6.64 5 Josh Bates 5.02 6 Ilya Bondarenko 4.83 7 Jack P Blackburn 2.00 Total 39.98 Ok so i'm having a laugh with the Russian - but he fits in at reserve! According to a twitter reply from the BSPA when asked specifically about JPB and Jack Smith the reply was they come in on a 3.00 because they don't already have an established championship average of less than 3pts.

1stBendTiger Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) According to a twitter reply from the BSPA when asked specifically about JPB and Jack Smith the reply was they come in on a 3.00 because they don't already have an established championship average of less than 3pts. But having spoken to Neal Parkinson about this he confirmed to me that JPB will start on a 2 which he himself had confirmed by the BSPA, thus all just shows what a balls up this whole rule change is.... Yet again British Speedway has shot itself in the foot. Edited November 12, 2016 by 1stBendTiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Irving Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 According to a twitter reply from the BSPA when asked specifically about JPB and Jack Smith the reply was they come in on a 3.00 because they don't already have an established championship average of less than 3pts.That was an early tweet either on or just after the final day of the AGM. They've since backtracked on that with further "updates", admitted that it was a hectic few days so not everything relevant was revealed. Julie Reading (Sheffield Promoter and attendee at the the BSPA AGM) confirmed at STAARS on Thursday that JPB/Jack Smith and any newcoming British riders to the Premier League will come in on a 2.00 point average.Chris Louis publicly stated this was the case ages ago, but for some bizarre reason some on here chose not to believe him and said he was wrong!

Didn't see Louis statement. Mind you I wouldn't be surprised if they change there mind again in January. They've done it before. Ask Somerset!!!
