Cue Ball 413 Posted April 5, 2018 The sun is bright, the sky is blue, I’m off to Owlerton tonight, what about you??? Can’t see anything other than a big home win, but hopefully there will be some decent racing along the way. Be good to see how Smith and Shanes get on, the former has stated that they are a stronger pairing than last year, not sure about that at the moment, but they probably have more potential for the future and will hopefully get better and better as the season goes on.

OdsalBoy 181 Posted April 5, 2018 Looking forward to this one. Had a bit of heavy rain lately so the track will be quite grippy i imagine. Sheffield win and cant wait to see how Shanes takes to his new track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JulieR 14 Posted April 5, 2018 Please see an update below regarding th half price offer from last season's match against Redcar which will noot be valid tonight When Redcar Bears hit town on April 26, fans who hold entrance tickets from the meeting between the teams at the end of last season will be given admission for half price.Tigers co-promoter Damien Bates said: “There were suggestions the half price offer was for the opening night, but because the Redcar meeting was far from satisfactory at the end of last season we wanted to give the opportunity for their travelling fans to take advantage of it.“I don’t think anyone can argue with this decision, we believe it’s in the best interests of everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mauger65 202 Posted April 5, 2018 at the tapes is probably the closest we will be all night to a tiger our better teams have often struggled at Sheffield ............ I will be surprised if we reach 30 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diamond@heart 399 Posted April 5, 2018 I wonder if we are having team suits this year and whether they will wear them tonight or unveil them at the first official home match. Guessing it will be: 1 Ludvig 2. Wethers 3. Rose 4. Aarnio 5. Robson 6. Wilkinson 7. Morris We are notoriously rubbishe around Sheffield so not expecting much from this one. Goooooo Diamonds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

graz gp 184 Posted April 5, 2018 Well hear we go again, the start of another speedway season. It's clear blues skies and the track should be perfect. I can only see a Tigers win. It will be interesting how Shanes and Smith go. Howarth and Bjerre looked very good in Steadys meeting last Sunday, well on the pace against the premier boys. I think Wright will be very good around Owlerton once he gets dialed in to the track. Mr Stead will be just the guy to help all the new guy's with all the info on the best way around Owlerton. So come on you Tigers let's have another great season and all the riders stay safe whoever they ride for. utt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,915 Posted April 5, 2018 Class of 2018 Tigers take to the track against the strength in depth Diamonds. The sun is shining and the sky is blue ad there is no a cloud in sight. Could well be our toughest test ever from the strength in depth Diamonds, could we see Mr Rowland and Mr Park leaving Sheffield doing a Geordie jig, anything is possible with a team that has strength in depth like the Diamonds. Seriously the Diamonds have never had much form around Owlerton, as we have never done that well at Brough Park, so although not expecting a cricket score tonight I think it should be pretty comfortable win. The rider I am most looking forward to seeing is James Shanes could well prove to be our secret weapon this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoneroses 14 Posted April 5, 2018 This could be a cracking meeting Newcastle along with Berwick have been written off by most "experts" and tho' I can only see a win for the tigers. I expect a shock or two along the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmcb2602 0 Posted April 5, 2018 A comfortable win on the cards for the Tigers, anything over 30 points is a good result for Newcastle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
