Beowulf Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Wolves with 10 heat wins, Douglas with 5 (50%) of those ! Man of the match for Wolves. Obviously for Sheffield the opposite of man of the match is Batchelor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlieboy Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Well done wolves rode as a team Douglas always going to score big at sheffield. Bachelor is a total joke sooner he goes the better. With 6 riders we would have won. Pickering put more effort in his last race than bachelor has all season. If he rides at kings Lynn we will lose Sack him now and ride as a 6 man team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a selection of Poole riders so we can use the Poole rulebook Simple Rather have a NL rider than bachelor. Our ex Ipswich riders rode well tonight.

CountArthur Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I would replace him without a doubt now. I think fourth place is pretty secure and we aren't going to win the play offs either. I'd rather get James Birkinshaw out of the ice cream van behind the home straight and back into the team or, looking at the last programme, Doug Wyer still has his bike. More seriously, I would have anyone as a replacement. James Shanes, Ash Morris, Aaron Summers, Dany Gappmaier, Tero Aarnio - any of those lads would do me fine. Holder wasn't quite his early season self, Ellis missed a couple of gates and Howarth will be frustrated with the last place in heat 14 but can't fault any of them for effort. Pickering, Neilsen and Hume rode their hearts out and were a credit to the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He apparently asked to be taken out of his last ride in heat 12, pity he had to take a minimum of 3. However I don't condone the booing that was coming from the terraces towards him at the end of his poor displays in each of his rides. After the meeting when he was walking to his van after getting changed a young boy asked for a photo with him, his reply was "Are you sure?" before smiling and posing with the boy. Think that says a lot about the situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 2 words. The first is Josh. The second is Grajczonek. Would his average fit? Would he come over so late in the season? Who knows. I'll set up a crowd funding page to help with the air fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bydgoszcz needed him they couldn’t get him - so the chances of Sheffield getting him back over has to be slim to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie4388 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 What a great night loved every minute, Really reminded me of why I fell in love with the Sport 26 years ago. 13 riders going hammer and tong at each. Absolutely superb start to his home Sheffield career for Stefan Nielsen well done lad. Also really have become a big fan of Josh Pickering too. Think it was the first time I've ever seen Danyon Hume ride too, he certainly gained a fan tonight too brilliant stuff. But most of all what has really pleased me tonight is My Dad after several years (he's only been to a handful of meetings since our beloved Vikings closed) of not attending came with me tonight and absolutely loved it. He was the one that got me into the Sport all them years ago, So it's great I can now help bring him back. I ❤️ Speedway Thank you Sheffield Speedway 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
