Moranboys Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Todd Kurtz or Rob Branford must be close to getting the boot,we can't carry both away from home much longer. have to agree there.as much as i like watching both of them ride, their away form has let them down badly especially rob.todd has the ability but looks pitifully slow away from owlerton.think the management have to act fast if we have any ambition about making the play offs and this could well be the turning point as to how well we do, only problem is not sure if the riders are out there to begin with.

RS50 Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 A lovely Thursday night, a backlog of matches, and no speedway at Owlerton. Really wonder. Now 10 weeks since Edinburgh match called off, and still no re-staging date. I believe that both Scunny and Workington, when they had a match rained off, arranged a new date the same day, and rode it next date. Why are Sheffield unable to re-arrange a match??? It has to be done so do it. Also 5 weeks since we went through to KOC semi, 1 week since Redcar called off, and no sign of any news for re-staging dates. Should be getting on with it a bit more. There can be no guarantees that there will not be any more post-poned. Beginning to look like there is no attempt to get matches staged before play off deadines. Only match that appears to have been re-arranged is the Ipswich match for Sunday 10 September, which according to Sheffield website starts at 5.30, but Ipswich say it starts at 7.30. Fed up of waiting and trying to leave my dates free so I can get to Owlerton. I really will consider after many decades of following them, making this my last year.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I hope it is 5.30 when the Witches go up to Sheffield in Sept - if it is there may well be a few of us travelling up. If its 7.30 then probably not.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Would be nice if they got together and put the same information (preferably correct) on both websites. But this is speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I would expect tha the Sheffield one should be the most reliable in this case - after all you are putting on the meeting. Â If so just hope the Witches turn up on time 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Depends if we want good speedway or a 75 _ 0 victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I think the main reason for the delay is all this ridiculous doubling and tripling up of the riders,Its not just a case of club v club fixtures its nigh on impossible to field the same 7 riders for the current fixture list then when nearly everybody has got 4-5 riders riding for other clubs and their rearranged matches its an absolute nightmare to rearrange.Add to the fact limited track availability and more rain ???? The doubling up should have been capped as its now got out of hand,It will be interesting how many fixtures have had both teams fielding their regular 7 when the season ends.

aussiefan Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Its time for this club to do something bold, like sign on Jordan Stewart. I believe he is a club asset. Will need the rest of the season to establish himself. he is abetter prospect than Jye Ethridge who finally is going well.. This man finished 5th in the last Australian under 21 title behind Max Fricke & Jack Holder. The other Aussie ready to go is Zaine Kennedy, he is eligible to ride in the UK, he is making steady progress in Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) A Ellis would come into Div 2 on a 5.00 ave, would Sheffield prefer him to T Kurtz (5.00)? J Graversen would come into Div 2 on a 4.13 ave, would Sheffield prefer him to R Branford (4.13)? Z Wajtknecht would come into Div 2 on a 3.65 ave, another alternative to Branford?

RS50 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Anyone know how long Rob Branford is likely to be out, and who is replacing him Thursday (if not fit by then)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdsalBoy Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 just a random thought - someone earlier on this thread mentioned team changes with Kurtz/ Branford to go........

spin king junior Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 just a random thought - someone earlier on this thread mentioned team changes with Kurtz/ Branford to go........ What's Risager up to could he be an option ? Like i said totally random thought. We're way over the points limit, so we could only make like for like changes. Ain't really anyone out there to justify dropping either of em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Anyone know how long Rob Branford is likely to be out, and who is replacing him Thursday (if not fit by then)? Hopefully he looks after his health because continuing to ride and contribute to the team doesn't seem to please some people.
