It's a bit like signing a contract with Manchester United and announcing you want to play for Juventus. Good for him.

The likes of Drew , Flint , Bickley etc aspiring to reach current Polish standard will raise the level of British speedway and give us a chance of defeating them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deserting the sinking ship is the very spirit of defeatism. We should be aiming to defeat the poles, not sell out to them. Riders ride in number of leagues in a number of countries. As a young and up and coming rider you should aspire to ride against the best opposition. And the best opposition you can race against is out in Poland, at this moment. Young Drew has the potential to go very far in the sport and by the looks of it his ambition matches this, it should not be knocked and I am pleased that he has chosen to ride for our team to try and move his career along. . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rode pretty well on his last visit to Owlerton. Not the most exciting rider, but could prove useful in this weakened League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted December 1, 2018 Welcome back KYLE HOWARTH & BROC NICOL. Amazing team ! http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2645 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingersfin 181 Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) That is a tremendous team. Well done on a great build. Early doors but can't see you being anything other than strong favourites for the title. Edited December 1, 2018 by Fingersfin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikec 412 Posted December 1, 2018 Really like the look of this Sheffield team. Powerful top 3, exciting youngsters + real x-factor in the shape of Drew Kemp. Will certainly make a trip or two across from Manchester to watch this side, especially now you're racing Sunday's. Good luck to Steady & all involved.

spin king junior 394 Posted December 1, 2018 Think we've got a good team overall. Not massively convinced with Nicol, we saw glimpses last season of a good rider but not much consistency and didn't really do much when he dropped to reserve either. My only worry is that whichever rider of the bottom 3 ends up in the main body throughout the season is in for a rough time. But hopefully won't be the case. King should do his job at 1, Proctor is what he is in this league but Andersen and Howarth, they could be the big difference in the team. A fully fit Howarth will make a mockery of that average and I think we saw enough from Andersen to know we've got a rider on a bargain average. With a bit of luck, we should be fighting at the top this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted December 1, 2018 Great looking team. Can see all bar King on averages that they can easily improve on. As long as they stay away from injuries they will be the team to beat in 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheScotsman 2,483 Posted December 1, 2018 Jeez this looks a strong team. Suppose a lot will rest on King's fitness after his bad injury. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
