Wolves will have a huge wage bill at the end of these 2 meetings !

The management have already put on an extra fixture with the recent 4tt and season ticket holders had free entry to that.

It is closed on safety grounds, Sheffield Council have been very strict on safety since the Hillsborough disaster. The open areas at Owlerton have a capacity of 4,000 which is plenty for league racing.

Even though we were on the wrong end of a 5-1, Heat 15 is one of the best races I have ever seen at Owlerton. Breathtaking stuff from all 4 riders.

Which will include Berwick's own Nick Morris !!!

Is there a drought in Torun ?? track is very dusty

Seems an excellent call by the club, I'm about 5 mile from Owlerton and it's been pouring down for over an hour as forecasted, and it doesn't look like stopping any time soon. Saved a lot of people a lot of wasted money.

Went to the OTA 4 times last season and it was dusty from heat 4 each time.

Well Danny had a big crash in his 3rd ride at Sheffield which took him a while to get up from, he went out in his 4th ride but pulled up mid race. No surprise he isn't riding today.

Both Todd and Brady were in tremendous form tonight. Don't know for sure but I imagine the Moran Bros got maximums in the same meetings for Sheffield/Belle Vue Edit: Found an example of Shawn and Kelly Moran getting full maximums for Sheffield at Hackney in 1987: http://www.sheffield-tigers.co.uk/hacbl31081987.html

Great to see Kyle scoring so well, The Wolves reserve pairing would struggle in the Championship never mind the Premiership.

Should be a good one to start the season at Owlerton. Sheffield Tigers 1. Josh Grajczonek 8.90 2. Josh Bates 5.02 3. Lasse Bjerre 6.64 4. Todd Kurtz 5.76 5. Kyle Howarth 7.18 © 6.

Not sure, the big corners at Owlerton mean the riders don't scrub too much speed off in the corners but the fast guys must be well over 70mph going down the home straight.

Ok, I think I've got all the track lengths and info correct as some club websites don't carry that info, I have included Coventry for now despite the long term uncertainty there: 1) Sheffield 361m - 59.1 secs by Ricky Ashworth on 14/10/2010 (54.70mph average speed) 2) Belle Vue (NSS) 347m - 58.2secs by Niels Kristian Iversen on 29/7/2016 (53.39mph ave. speed) 3) Kings Lynn 342m - 57.6secs by Nicki Pedersen on 11/9/2002 (53.17mph ave. speed) 4) Berwick 368m - 62.2secs by Craig Cook on 15/8/2015 (52.98mph ave. speed) 5) Workington 364m - 61.7secs by Richard Lawson on 31/5/2014 (52.83mph ave. speed) 6) Peterborough 336m – 58.4secs by Kryzsztof Kasprzak on 20/9/2010 (51.52mph ave. speed) 7) Glasgow 319m - 55.59secs by Aaron Summers on 4/9/2016 (51.39mph ave. speed) 8) Isle of Wight 380m - 66.3secs by Jason Bunyan on 15/4/2008 (51.33mph ave. speed) 9) Swindon 363m - 63.86secs by Leigh Adams on 31/8/2009 (50.90mph ave. speed) 10) Somerset 300m - 55.68secs by Craig Cook on 25/9/2015 (48.25mph ave. speed) 11) Poole 299.1m - 56.91secs by Antonio Lindback on 14/6/2006 (47.07mph ave. speed) 12) Mildenhall 260m - 49.68secs by Steve Boxall on 14/7/2013 (46.87mph ave. speed) 13) Coventry 301m - 57.6secs by Chris Harris on 23/05/2009 (46.80mph ave. speed) 14) Redcar 270m - 52.2secs by Chris Harris on 22/10/2009 (46.32mph ave. speed) 15) Scunthorpe 285m - 55.18secs by Nicolai Klindt on 5/9/2015 (46.25mph ave. speed) 16) Birmingham 292m - 56.6secs by Jason Lyons on 25/6/2008 (46.20mph ave. speed) 17) Stoke 312m - 60.5secs by Ty Proctor on 8/8/2009 (46.18mph ave. speed) 18) Edinburgh 278m - 54.4secs by Craig Cook on 10/7/2015 (45.76mph ave. speed) 19) Ipswich 285m - 55.8secs by Danny King on 13/10/2016 (45.74mph ave. speed) 20) Eastbourne 275m - 54.8secs by Jason Crump on 29/6/2008 (44.94mph ave speed) 21) Wolverhampton 264m - 52.69secs by Niels Kristian Iversen on 29/8/2016 (44.87mph ave. speed) 22) Leicester 302m - 60.63secs by Craig Cook on 19/6/2016 (44.61mph ave. speed) 23) Rye House 271m - 54.7secs by Robert Lambert on 1/8/2015 (44.37mph ave. speed) 24) Newcastle 300m - 61.0secs by Kenni Larsen on 21/10/2010 (44.04mph ave. speed) 25) Kent 268m - 56.1secs by Adam Ellis on 30/9/2016 (42.78mph ave. speed) 26) Buxton 240m - 52.9 secs by James Wright on 29/6/2004 (40.63mph ave. speed) 27) Lakeside 252m - 56.8secs by Andreas Jonsson on 30/5/2008 (39.73mph ave. speed) 28) Plymouth 207m - 48.12secs by Craig Cook on 25/7/2015 (38.52mph ave. speed)
