4BenMoran Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Well deserved testimonial for Kyle, one of those riders who gives 100 % and always has time for a chat with the fans. So we know the meeting will be one of the first ones of 2024 and will be Sheffield Tigers 2024 v World Select. Great that Kyle has lined up the 2024 Sheffield team and good that they get some bike/track time ahead of the new season. It’s a shame there’s two league meetings that’s clash with this and that obviously narrows down options for riders based with UK clubs, hopefully we get to see some riders that know the fast way around Owlerton (and maybe some new or old riders to the UK) and make it a good meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Confirmed line up for the meeting http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3440 Got to feel for Kyle, when he was given this date by the BSPL there were no other meeting scheduled, now there’s 2 meetings and a meet the riders night at Ipswich taking out vast majority of Premiership riders, defo been screwed over by the speedway hierarchy, a lot of last minute changes for him and his testimonial team to sort out can’t imagine the stress that will have caused, hopefully enough punters turn up to make the night a success and doesn’t leave him with hole in his pocket having filled out money to get this meeting on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 You’d think that there will need to be a couple of changes to the announced line ups, two on the Sheffield side and one the Rest of the World select based on riders injuries at the moment, Schlein out for season, Etheridge missed Friday at Scunthorpe and King missed British Final and also Monday (10th) for Ipswich. Hopefully Kyle and the team behind the testimonial manage to source the riders needed to fill the gaps Sheffield : Chris Harris, Kyle Howarth, Rory Schlein, Jye Etheridge, Josh Pickering, Jason Edwards, Dan Gilkes Rest of the World Select: Ryan Douglas, Norick Blodorn, Danny King, Charles Wright, Sam Masters, Jake Allen, Simon Lambert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it does, or I might as well have just bank transferred £23 and saved myself the journey up from Leicester. It's still an event that should be trying to attract a crowd and be worth winning. It would have been nice to see the riders in the 2 "teams" also racing each other. Apart from a couple of incidents when Pickering and Allen nearly ended their seasons... it was a pretty dull affair. 1 hour ago, The Third Man said: Looked like some of the riders cared who won looked like some of the riders cared a little too much, there were some real heart in the mouth moments Edited June 13 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring meeting on the whole by all accounts anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To support an ex-Lion and good servant to British Speedway and for a night of entertaining Speedway... I don't think it's too controversial to say I would have "preferred" an individual meeting is it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
