    New Rider For Sheffield

    Lulu is correct. The new 1-7 is Stead, Roynon, Wells, Haines, Compton, Albin and Koppe, but not applicable until Sunday, so will be R/R for Hall at Leicester I guess.
  2. The proposed line-up was announced during the meeting last Thursday. - Damian Koppe, Facundo Albin, Jonathan Iturre, Hunter Anderson, Hayden Sims, Matt Williamson - can't remember the others.
  3. The Argentinian was Jonatan Iturre and he has been invited.

    I read that Facundo is due to leave Argentina tomorrow, along with Nicolas Covatti.

    A little piece in the Speedway Star - Sheffield Cubs/Prowlers have withdrawn from the MDL. Does this mean just free practice for second halves every week?

    In Speedway Star, same joint Team Managers as last season and an article about Jake Knight talking about his hopes for the forthcoming season. Sheffield have purchased his contract, but he will still ride for Kings' Lynn in the NL as well. So, that's the team and management sorted; hopefully the track surface and team spirit next.

    I think that team spirit has been sadly lacking for a while. It was good in Sean Wilson's time, but has gradually disappeared over the years. If a rider wasn't ready to walk the track beforehand, Sean would make sure that he was shouted out of the pits. They haven't been doing a track walk as a team for some time, and team riding is practically non-existant. Riders should know that fans appreciate the team riding as a team and should try their best to do so. I remember the last meeting against Rye House, and Simon Lambert was constantly looking over his shoulder for his team mate. Not so with recent Sheffield teams. I hope Simon Stead makes it a priority. The other thing to look at, as previous posts have said, is the condition of the track. A track that provides good racing will be an obvious help to bring back the crowds.

    In this week's comic - Ricky Wells and Richard Hall have been earmarked for the last 2 places in the team, but David Hoggart said all was quiet over the Christmas break. 'Ricky is back in America right now. The Christmas holidays have delayed things slightly but I don't see any reason to worry. We will talk again early in January and hope we can finalise things from there'.

    To quote Mr Hoggy in this week's comic - The move, following talks with the stadium landlords, was called off because it wasn't deemed viable. We had to look at alternatives because we need to improve our crowd levels after a pretty bad 2012. Sundays seemed the main possibility but we have decided to stay as we are. Hopefully, with the new look team, supporters will respond accordingly on Thursdays.
