Sheffield Tigers 2024

Same story every beginning to a season....arrange to hold speedway in March and be prepared for cancellations galore.....it's inevitable......until global warming alters things for better weather. And many times April is not much better.

Do they need more time to prep the track for stock cars than they do for speedway and with dogs being on 6 days a week they just can’t do it in time for Monday?  

Forecast looks to be improving with only showers now around mid day on Weds and Thurs and not the usual 95% probability!!

Doubt it. Seen stock cars run in far worse conditions than speedway ever would .

Is Howarths testimonial protecting him from getting binned? What’s more important to the promotion?

Watch this space 

There's no evidence that Howarth's testimonial is on the promoters mind, they could simply be giving a struggling rider time to turn things round. Not every club drops a rider who isn't performing ASAP

Howarth has had two meetings where he rode under his 5 point average (the last two home meetings) it’s not like he’s been scoring 1’s and 2’s in every meeting.  The testimonial is a stand alone event, plenty of riders have had testimonials attacks where they no longer ride at, hopefully the promotion stick with him  and give him the chance to ride into form

Jason said on BSN that he’d be back riding for Sheffield this Thursday 23rd (Leicester at home).

 

Dan had concussion on Wednesday last week 15th with the 9 day rule he should be out until Saturday 25th.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Craig Cook come in to replace Kyle.

I think that would depend on what terms he left on last time

No chance Sheffield will take Cook on again after his previous stint there it didn’t end very well from what I know.  Also his ‘special’ set up from his Oxford visit earlier this season has run out of that F&F juice if we’re going on his scores since then

I think that Oxford will keep Craig Cook, it would be madness to let him go on his present form.

I can see Oxford releasing Lewis Kerr.

And given the choice between Kyle Howarth and Lewis Kerr, I would go for Kyle.

Was going to suggest Berge as an option… but see that he is on the injured list.

 

Kyle is having a rough patch, but don’t think there are any options out there, so better the devil you know and trust that he will get his mojo back

Kyle seemed to have more speed on Friday for Scunthorpe, hopefully he’s managed to get to the bottom of his lack of speed so far this season.

 

Sounds like someone been having a spin at Owlerton tonight, or might be my ears playing tricks on me!!
