Believe that Pedersens last team in the UK was Peterborough in 2011 he didnt exactly live up his billing then and was eventually dropped for Hans Andersen to return. 

On a guaranteed fixed payment, & was poor to be fair. Pay him per point, & he might be ok. Personally think he will be a poor signing average wise, but time will tell.

Really nice to see Simon Stead so enthusiastic about the season ahead, and it's great to see so much positivity and forward planning where there is normally so much doom and gloom. Great signing as far as I'm concerned. Sheffield are certainly coming to the table all guns blazing, and good luck to them!

Can't stand the bloke, but what a great signing for us. :D. There goes the new Ferrari as I'll be spending my Euros burning up the miles on the M1 every Thursday instead, to cheer him on.. Now if only we could only get Ty Wolfinden  in the side too. Go Nicki.

Stevebrum’s finger on the pulse again.  :)

 

Aah bless. If putting out club news before the club concerned does makes you feel big and clever then good luck to you If smugness is your bag.

Why because somehow you were in the know and rather than let the club announce what they’ve described as their biggest ever signing, you thought it was a good idea to share the news before they had - smug something for sure!

congrats to sheffield on the signing of Nicki, look forward to seeing you in the top flight next year

Perfectly put.

So happy he didn’t sign for Wolves. Can’t stomach him.

Brilliant signing, no negatives to this signing what so ever, great for Sheffield and a big boost to British Speedway.

Agree, will put bums on seats, even away from home I would of thought. I think he will struggle to average 8.61 if i'm honest at this stage of his career.

Surely this has got to be a temporary signing until say start of May? Can't see Nicki at his age wanting to ride in 4 leagues for a full season and can Sheffield afford him for a season?

But it's a win win, Nicki gets to ride in some meetings to warm up from injury comeback before the major leagues starts, for some decent money. Sheffield get good press and social media coverage now and good crowds to start the year.

A post of sense in the current climate of positively.

Like I said earlier, on the face of it this seems like great news. 

There will be questions raised though as the season goes and like you I can't forsee him sticking around for too long.

I would have loved Nicki to have stayed at Monmore rather than the years of loan fees we got for all his time spent at Arlington, fantastic signing for the tigers, ok so he isn't going to get 15 a meeting but will certainly add plenty to the Sheffield coffers.

Love or loathe him he is a pretty big draw, I'll look forward to visiting as often as possible.

CVS & Adams should have kept him at Monmore for years but hmmm seem to like our World champions riding elsewhere, where is Tai this year.

Bravo Steady and welcome back to top flight Sheffield and NP.

In my view this is a brilliant signing for Sheffield, and like Nicki or not, it can't be argued that Sheffield are the most talked about team in the UK at present.

Massive kudos to the promotion!!!!

It was even the lead sports story on Radio Sheffield as I was going home from work yesterday.  Probably a quiet news day with the top two football leagues having not played last weekend. :D

Quoting you Kev, I know it's not relevant to Sheffield but will you be going to see the Kings in the Championship next year?
