38.69.

So we could go with the same team and just replace Wright, who I would think will be going back to Somerset, with another approx. 7.50 point rider?

Forgot we have signed the Aussie lad already

Sunday’s are no go for me as I match fish on sundays , maybe see them at scunny a couple of times if they are still doing Fridays.

 

how many years of tradition are they doing away with ? , Thursday night is speedway night !

I would like us to get Kasper back as he was quite decent away and with lower team averages could be a very useful acquisition ,Connor on a 3 + might be capable of doing some damage at the bottom end as good 3 pointers will be more crucial next season.

So sad that we have gone to Sunday. For me it is just impossible to do, so I will have to finish my 50 years of followig the TIgers including many hours helping up and comming ridrs on the training track, and being on the spanners with the likes of Adam Allott, David Speight, Emiliano Sanchez and many others. I hope not to loose touch with speedway but for me it will have to be Scunthorpe if they have any Friday meetings or Belle Vue on Thursday nights. I wish the Tigers all the best for the future.

Be Belle Vue for me next year also, might make odd sunday meeting but it is my only day off at weekend and taking off to Speedway every sunday would not go down well.

It is a shame and hope it works out but can't see it.

changing teams race nights proved disaster for some in 2018 so they try it again in 2019 

definitely  someone wants to see speedway teams going under

Think you can count Shanes out of the Tiger's team next season due to his longtrack/grasstrack commitments on a Sunday be happy to see him back at Birmingham tho unless we move to a Sunday :rolleyes:

Sundays is fine by me, but I was not expecting Sunday race day, I was expecting Wednesday to be honest.

Will be interesting to see how the changes will effect crowd figures.

The new points limit was the shocker for me, going to take some careful and creative team building.

Think montain will be Leicester. Look at the averages, I think the likes of Berge, Andersen and any of the up-and-coming 2 points (Flint, Brennan, Kemp, Bickley) will be big acquisitions now.

I would say that Andersen is a key rider, but there be a problem if he wants to ride Poland and race days been Sundays at Sheffield.

Berge could be a problem as well with Grass track and Long track commitments.

Its looking as though we will probably be predominately using British riders with a few Aussie riders.

Edinburgh are going have to of load a few riders maybe Josh Pickering might be rider that could be released.

One rider who will be able to name his price will be Drew Kemp.

I'm not impressed with the change to Sunday meetings as we follow other motosports which happen on a Sunday plus family commitments.  Good luck to Sheffield Speedway and I hope you will attract more support from families but you will have lost regular supporters who cannot now regularly attend.
