MWC 14 Posted October 1, 2012 After the disapointment with the team this year thought more people would have had a say on this subject.? Are we all waiting for the first signing to get started or everyone still down about this year ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,333 Posted October 1, 2012 Machin said in last weeks speedway star that he's seriously considering putting the club up for sale. Machin is a Promoter who can see where the sport is going but can't seem to do anything about it.You can't blame him if he is not willing to lose a lot of money paying over the odds to run the sport.

Backless 538 Posted October 1, 2012 I'm just quite surprised that the conversation of Sheffield possibly being up for sale hasn't come up yet! Well, if you're going to stir it, why not quote Machin's consideration about selling alongside his suggestion that, if they could, 95% of promoters would sell up?

spin king junior 394 Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Machin is a Promoter who can see where the sport is going but can't seem to do anything about it.You can't blame him if he is not willing to lose a lot of money paying over the odds to run the sport. Couldn't blame the guy at all, with whatever decsion he deicides to make for the club. He's done more than enough to keep the club running as it is. Well, if you're going to stir it, why not quote Machin's consideration about selling alongside his suggestion that, if they could, 95% of promoters would sell up? Hardly stiring. Just pointing out the prospect that we could end up being one of the many clubs up for sale. And I agree with him, i mean who wouldn't sell their club with everything that going on in British speedway? Only a couple I'd imagine.

Friddy75 31 Posted October 2, 2012 Well Mark I've already had my opinion for next seasons team. But it does seem more and more likely that Ricky Ashworth will return to Berwick and my second choice of Auty will probably be back at Scunny. And I expect if Glasgow survive(hope they do) that they could possibly keep Morris being there asset. I may need to pick a new number 1 for my choice team so.... 1 Ashworth/Auty/Morris/Bach/Lawson 2 Palm Toft//Birks/Bellego/R.Worrall 3 Bjerre/Summers/Masters/Doolan/Lanham 4 Skiddy 5 Wells 6 Haines 7 Sarjeant Same as my previous picks, starting with first choices. Being realistic, if Worky keep going(hope they do) I doubt they could fit Lawson and Bach in so we'll have which ever they don't have. As for the disappointment's of this year. I'd like to see some changes next year. None of the throwing the dummy out over lost riders like the Auty/Birks tantrum. Keep the fans and riders more up to date with team building not leaving riders hanging on Ashworth/Lambert. Get Hoggy back on the presenting, he builds more atmosphere. Keep the fans informed with injuries and estimates of when riders will return as we heard nothing for weeks about Sanchez and Pepe. Stop charging for kids under 16 with paying adults to allow family's to continue coming. Do some promoting before and through the season. Take a number 8 if riding away with R/R. And most of all get a competent manager to run the team as this season several times over showed the Hinchcliff/Hoggy double act just didn't work!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squall 270 Posted October 5, 2012 1. Simon Stead 2. Thomas Jorgensen 3. Ricky Ashworth 4. Lasse Bjerre 5. Josh Auty 6. Joe Haines 7. Simon Lambert Don't know if it fits, but all go well round Scunthorpe. If the weather stays fine in Scunthorpe, then this team will bring success back to Sheffield. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
