I remember booking Ollie Allan to guest for us at Lakeside in the early 00's, and he scored 1point and we pulled him out of his last ride. Shocking, and never got another booking after that. Was called SuperSub after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I remember Billy Sanders guesting at Wolves for us and he was good round monmore green but sadly got injured heat one so we got hammered. As much as we hate guests it's the nature of speedway.Every team gets let down and every body gets a good choice on occasions so it's no good moaning about it,it's just frustrating.If we had both been at full strength it would have been a classic. Glad to see Broc winning races but let's hope he's not too successful and we get screwed with team building next season.As for this season it's not happening for us so I think we should just accept we going to win nothing unless we get Kyle and Charles fit and replace Bjerre on his away performances.

montie Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Understandable Richie getting a bit of flack I suppose but to be honest I expected alot more fight from some of the Sheffield regulars to be honest Some experienced riders there who should have done more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tosh1218 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 So pleased that the Scorpions went through, hopefully the next round we will be able to track all of our seven riders for a change instead of been our injured . The young yankee looks a good prospect for Sheffield and one last thing it’s a pity the Tigers going on about there choice of guest Richie hasn’t been in the best of form lately so I was surprised by there choice of guest rider so who does pick the guest is it Team Manager (Simon Stead) or the promoter ( Damian Bates ) ?????

Yes, like you say, we got the other side of the coin last year with Richard Lawson at Redcar last August, who probably did better than Josh G would have done.

Steady's been a top manager over the year and half he's been on board. Can tell all the riders trust him and he makes the right decisions 9 times out of 10. Yeah maybe he should give Georgie an extra ride when necessary, but to say to get rid of Steady would be a terrible decision. Meeting wise, Scunthorpe deserved to go through. Poor from some of our own (bar Nicol who was superb) and the guests were poor. Move onto the next, simple as that. With a full team I'm sure the score would be a lot closer. Lets hope we have both 1-7's available at the end of the month for a good local derby! Edited July 2, 2018 by Bostonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
