    Leicester lions 2023 (PREMIERSHIP)

    And in a recent No Breaks No Fear Podcast, Bates stated that there would be more than likely 6 teams in the Premier League. Could a team from Premier League be dropping down into the Championship. Interesting that Leicester are moving up a club owned by Bates, could it be that Leicester are replacing Sheffield in the Premier League with Sheffield moving back down to the Championship.
  2. Putting aside the who signed who lets look a the last times the teams rode each other at each others tracks Belle Vue 5th September Belle Vue 54 Sheffield 36 Belle Vue had their full 1 to 7. Sheffield Klindt replaced Musielak and scored 12 points from 6 rides. Sheffield 22nd September Sheffield 57 Belle Vue 33 Sheffield had their full 1 to 7 Belle Vue had Rider Replacement Fricke and the team scored 6 points from the Rider Replacement rides. Overall Aggregate Scores; Sheffield 93 Belle Vue 87. Although Sheffield won those meetings on aggregate, I cannot see Musielak matching Klindt scores, and Lambert will score more than double the Rider Replacement score at Sheffield. For me Belle Vue are rank favourites.
  3. For me Belle Vue start as rank favourites, and the Play Off Finals could be won by heat 10. The signing of Robert Lambert number 4 in the world gives Belle Vue a massive advantage, they already had a decent side already either with Fricke or Rider Replacement. Bringing in Lambert who has fallen into Belle Vue's lap is a Masterstroke, is it cheating? I don't think so. Will it make for a better more exciting Final? I don't think so. To start quoting Lambert's record and the fact that he has not rode Sheffield for a number years is bull crap, he is the World Number 4 for a reason. Sheffield are new to the top league, and in our 2nd season we have made the Final, on step further than last season so the club is progressing.
  4. They say that reserves win you matches. The present Sheffield reserve pairing at home have rode together 6 times this season. Only one occasion has the opposition pairing have outscored them, interesting the only team to do was Peterborough. Those that have failed were; Belle Vue Kings Lynn twice Wolves Ipswich. Would have preferred the camera's not been at the meeting as it tends to be a longer night than usual. But I think that we will have too much for the Wolves , but it will be close.

    Witches v Aces Play off Semi Final 1st leg 29/9/22

    Really I would say that Belle Vue are. Belle Vue having far more formidable at home that any other team this season.

    Witches v Aces Play off Semi Final 1st leg 29/9/22

    Klindt was signed before the transfer window, and has made some appearances for Kings Lynn. He is on decent average and is a decent replacement for Fricke. Whether its Fricke, Klindt or Lambert Belle Vue should have enough strength in depth to get their first League title in a number of years. Why are you panicking.

    Witches v Aces Play off Semi Final 1st leg 29/9/22

    Good win for the Aces last night, and would imagine that they should make the Play Off Final, as there home performances having and I would say that they are the team to beat. Ipswich team totally capitulated last night and face what looks like an impossible task of pulling off the aggregated win. But they look like they will win the Pairs, which will just reward for Jason Doyle who has been the standout rider in the League.
  8. Totally different. Greyhound With Greyhound, you don't need much to get your dog into the stadium. Park the car away from the stadium, stick a lead on your dog and walk into the stadium. Same for the staff. Spectators who attend afternoon meetings is very small they would quite easily arrive on foot. Speedway How do you get 14 riders, bikes, mechanics and tools into stadium. What about the spares van, how does he get into the stadium. A large number of fans would be coming in cars, where are they going to park. Parking on the roads around the stadium is limited.
  9. The road as at present is closed in both directions about a quarter of a mile from both directions of the stadium. The road Penistone Road that the stadium situated is a main road into Sheffield and travelling in Sheffield today especially those of us live in the Sheffield 6 area as is the stadium has been a nightmare whether its by car or bus. There is a good reasons why police shut the road of nature, the last thing they need is large number of cars coming in and out of a stadium. On this occasions I think everyone has to accept that the reasons for cancelling the meeting are out of the control of the promotion.
  10. Why? The Official Announcement came out at around 06:30pm. The meetings were due to start at 07:30pm, most or many would have already set off for the meeting, so would caused a lot of inconvenience. If the announcement was made 3 or 4 hours earlier then maybe I would say cancel the meeting fair enough.

    Sheffield vs Wolves 1/9/22

    No Passing? So you missed Musielak pass Flint in heat 1 or Heat 4 Holder passing Flint 0r Becker passing Sedgmen in heat 7 or Masters getting by after a tussle with Mountain in Heat 9 or Heat 10 when gated on 5 - 1, only for Becker and Douglas to get by Kerr. or Heat 13 Holder's pass on Morris or Heat 14 Douglas pass on Howarth I admit I have seen better and more exciting meetings at Sheffield this season, but to claim that there was no passing is simply not true.

    Wolves v Sheffield - Monday, 22 August

    Before the meeting I would have taken a point from this meeting. So not unhappy with my teams performance. Surprised to see Masters taking heat 15, hopefully the fall he had won't have caused him further damage to his injury.

    Sheffield Tigers 2022

    As far as I am aware the replacing Allen was a permanent move yo temporary.
  14. For me the return of the bonus point is a good idea. But for they should do away with the nice try point, the one that awards a point if the away team loses by 6 points or less. Whoever heard of a sport where you are rewarded for losing. For me it has to be; 3 points for a win 2 points for a away draw 1 point for home draw. 0 points for a loss

    Sheffield Tigers 2022

    When did this happen cannot find any news anywhere that he has an injury. If he has then I would expect that we will go with Rider Replacement for him as all of the top 4 can take an extra ride for him.

    Sheffield Tigers 2022

    On paper Kerr for Cook is a strange move. In saying that Cook has been off form this season even his figures have not been of previous standard for Glasgow, and he has not hit the heights at Sheffield. Add his injury and the fact that the Rider Replacement rides taking his rides are not productive we maybe need to find a replacement. As for Kerr a change of track might be just what he needs, and it could be a good move for both rider and club.

    Peterborough Panthers 2022

    Craig Cook is injured so maybe a replacement for him, that is if they were to bring in Lewis Kerr.

    Team GB

    Some people are only happy when they are moaning. Look we got to Final after topping scorings to qualify for the run off without our number 1 rider. I could understand it if we were The Mighty Poland who we are all suppose to aspire to, who lets face it got nowhere near Final and only beat the Finns in the meeting.

    New Guest Rule?

    James Shanes is what it should read.
  20. Belle Vue now look stand out team. With the top 5 looking exceptionally good and the two reserves scoring well at home I just don't see any team beating them in a Play Off Final. Only way they will be stopped is injuries.

    You must be really upset. Let face it you described Sheffield an awful team. If Sheffield is an awful team what does not mean Peterborough are.
