Redcar V Sheffield Friday


Recommended Posts

The absence of JBA has tilted this in favour of Sheffield.

Maybe Sheffield get slightly the better deal, out of R/R. For Redcar, Wright, Perks, Busch and Ayres, are eligible to get a ride. For Sheffield, its Howarth, Bates, Kurtz and Graversen. Given how well, the Sheffield team go round Redcar, (I don't think Wood has been here before), I don't think Sheffield will miss Lasse Bjerre. On the other hand, Redcar will most certainly miss Jonas B Anderson.

Josh G not riding leg injury. Lawson guest for the Tigers. Should be a close thing. UTT

It makes things very interesting. Lawson will do a good job for Sheffield, but the real strength of the side, is the way Bates, Kurtz, Howarth and Graversen ride Redcar. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be. Well.

Hate to see 2 teams utilising r/r. In the 'good old days' (Crikey - sound like an old man (Who said 'You are'?)) when there were enough riders to go round r/r used to be cancelled out and both sides had to promote juniors. Also whatever happened to compulsory #8's. Neither side appears to have named a #8 (just waiting to see if anyone with a bike turns up tonight?). If no #8's are named it only takes 1 unfortunate incident early in proceedings to end up with 3 or even 2 men races later on. Seasons can hinge on such minor points.

agree - double r/r is crap - bring in NL no 8s

Interesting - Lawson riding as a guest for Sheffield.

Given that Glasgow and Sheffield are vying for the title :shock:

Think it was a case of Lawson was riding at Sheffield last night so it saves the price of a phone call to anybody else! That and he has never let us down in the past

Reckon by tomorrow night (Saturday) it'll be 4 teams Lawson has ridden for in 4 days: Somerset (Wednesday), Workington (Thursday), Sheffield (Friday), Glasgow (Saturday). Obviously a busy man.

Just highlights how stupid this sport can be, no point in signing riders just pick whoever you want.

 

What this can of worms opens is if Richard doesn't perform when his own team visit Redcar I am sure assumptions will be made.

Would be ironic if our no 1 helped our closest rivals to an away win. British speedway is just crazy

Think most fan's are just getting fed up with the whole scenario.

 

In what other sport can your asset ride for your main rival and help them pull even further clear from his own team, it is just beyond farcical now.
