romans lovechild Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 not enthralled by the changes announced by the bspa, but 38 pts as a limit, that is going to put quite a few riders out of a job I reckon, and sundays? hmm, might suit myself better as I wont have to rush from work on a Thursday for a 7.30 start, lets hope we have a start time of 6pm or 6.30 as any later than that is not going to pull many kids through the gate.

So we could go with the same team and just replace Wright, who I would think will be going back to Somerset, with another approx. 7.50 point rider? Forgot we have signed the Aussie lad already Edited November 14, 2018 by The Third Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTB Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Sunday’s are no go for me as I match fish on sundays , maybe see them at scunny a couple of times if they are still doing Fridays. how many years of tradition are they doing away with ? , Thursday night is speedway night !

Charlieboy Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I would like us to get Kasper back as he was quite decent away and with lower team averages could be a very useful acquisition ,Connor on a 3 + might be capable of doing some damage at the bottom end as good 3 pointers will be more crucial next season.

relic Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 So sad that we have gone to Sunday. For me it is just impossible to do, so I will have to finish my 50 years of followig the TIgers including many hours helping up and comming ridrs on the training track, and being on the spanners with the likes of Adam Allott, David Speight, Emiliano Sanchez and many others. I hope not to loose touch with speedway but for me it will have to be Scunthorpe if they have any Friday meetings or Belle Vue on Thursday nights. I wish the Tigers all the best for the future. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moranboys Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 well.some changes for 2019.same set up as last season though for league matches and the two cup comps.sunday race days.sorry but thursdays are speedway days at sheffield.can understand the kids bit but i think that deffo rule me out for next season as i have plenty of other things that i do on a sunday.should have made the move to the premiership and taken advantage of the b.t sport coverage.lower points limit as well, one of my favourite riders looking as though he will be gone.sad times.i wish sheffield all the best for the future.will still do the g.p weekend and maybe a few other meets but not at sheffield.so after 42 years following the tigers comes an end of an era.so sad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTB Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Gutted about this , been going since my dad took me in the 1960’s had a break in the 1980’s and back since mid 1990’s , gonna miss it. feels like it’s shut down again to me Edited November 14, 2018 by dink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJK86 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Be Belle Vue for me next year also, might make odd sunday meeting but it is my only day off at weekend and taking off to Speedway every sunday would not go down well. It is a shame and hope it works out but can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlata prilba Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Think you can count Shanes out of the Tiger's team next season due to his longtrack/grasstrack commitments on a Sunday be happy to see him back at Birmingham tho unless we move to a Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Sundays is fine by me, but I was not expecting Sunday race day, I was expecting Wednesday to be honest. Will be interesting to see how the changes will effect crowd figures. The new points limit was the shocker for me, going to take some careful and creative team building.

Think montain will be Leicester. Look at the averages, I think the likes of Berge, Andersen and any of the up-and-coming 2 points (Flint, Brennan, Kemp, Bickley) will be big acquisitions now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I would say that Andersen is a key rider, but there be a problem if he wants to ride Poland and race days been Sundays at Sheffield. Berge could be a problem as well with Grass track and Long track commitments. Its looking as though we will probably be predominately using British riders with a few Aussie riders. Edinburgh are going have to of load a few riders maybe Josh Pickering might be rider that could be released. One rider who will be able to name his price will be Drew Kemp.

Hel'n'Back Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm not impressed with the change to Sunday meetings as we follow other motosports which happen on a Sunday plus family commitments. Good luck to Sheffield Speedway and I hope you will attract more support from families but you will have lost regular supporters who cannot now regularly attend.
