JCookie 753 Posted November 19, 2018 There's some banging Polish Division 2 teams: Tero Aarnio Finland 1984 - Stanisław Burza Poland 1977 1,349 Adrian Gomólski Poland 1987 0.000 (nsk) Michael Haertel Germany 1998 - Dominik Kossakowski Poland 1997 1,167 (league 1) Matej Kus Czech Republic 1989 - Wojciech Lisiecki Poland 1992 0.906 (1st league) Jordan Stewart Australia 1998 - Hynek Stichauer Czech Republic 1987 Managed by Stan the Man himself. Todd Kurtz's team is equally fearsome: Facundo Albin Argentina 1992 1,083 (nsk) Damian Baliński Poland 1977 1,954 Petr Chlupac Czech Republic 2002 - Todd Kurtz Australia 1992 - Jaimon Lidsey Australia 1999 2,000 and 0,00 (Ekstraliga - nsk) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drew Kemp No chance of getting Bewley. Rybnik think the world of him and pretty sure he’s back there next year which rules him out given the Sunday afternoon home meetings.

OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 19, 2018 Don't want to go to sleep tonight because I'm scared that when i wake up the Drew Kemp signing will have all been just a dream .... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerowl 630 Posted November 19, 2018 Great start to the team building. Welcome to Sheffield Drew and well done to the promotion for securing the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 412 Posted November 20, 2018 After the brilliant signing of Drew it would be good to get Danny king in as it might help Drew to settle quicker.A fully fit King would be a good choice my only worry would be how fit is he after last season? King Zaine Drew and I expect Kyle to be back would give us about 22.85 and leave around 15.15 for the last 3. Broc on a 4 possibly still leaves 11!!!!

We will see... a lot of hype about him, he didn't light up the World when he rode at Workington this season , Kyle Bickley beating him in heat 2 no problem lets hope the pressure doesn't get to him but personally I think people are expecting too much from a young lad coming up into the Championship Cast your mind back less than a month ago when a team , cast aside at the start of the season by everyone as not being the strongest on paper , scooped the "Treble" who would have thought !!!! So you see our Management will be neglecting nothing believe me, on their duty of putting our team together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Irving 393 Posted November 20, 2018 Let’s get real here, there isn’t a SINGLE club in the division who would turn their nose up at Drew Kemp on a 2 point average so behave. If Drew had spoken to the Workington promotion and said “I’d like to ride for you next year”, there isn’t a chance in hell they’d have said “nah you’re not for us” Sheffield have Simon Stead to thank for this signing. I believe he was all set to sign for Eastbourne until Stead persuaded him to sign for Sheffield. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After the "incident" at Eastbourne this season I think it's highly unlikely that Drew would have ended up there tbh.Great signing for Sheffield.Drew is a huge talent 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if he was Easbourne bound something obviously wasn't quite right if Sheffield have just come in and snapped him up from under their noses that's all I will say.Either way,i think Sheffield is a better move for Drew long term.Has had a season around Mildenhall,the bigger track will suit him.He flew around BV this year (clocked a faster time than the Premiership ht1 time the week before) so the big track is no issue for him.He will love it there I'm sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 20, 2018 So - can someone just confirm for me - Is Drew Kemp one of the 2 "mystery" signings that are to be unveiled on the 28th ? Or are they still being kept under wraps ? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But they’re not in a position at this moment to put names on contracts. Doesn’t mean wheels haven’t been put in motion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
