4thbender 382 Posted January 26, 2019 Fixtures just released - another abysmal year of fixtures. The management's claim of wanting to attract more kids by racing on Sundays is rather negated by the fact that there will only be three meetings throughout the entire school holidays in July/August.

With a start time of Sunday's 4.30 pm as opposed to Thursdays 7.30 pm I don't think that school holidays really matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are at home on the last Sunday in July & at home in 2 of the 1st 3 weeks in August with the other away. The last Sunday is free as all your fixtures are covered unless you progress in the cup competitions where this last Sunday could be used. Most teams & fans would be happy seeing racing 3 out of 4 weeks especially in a shortened fixture list, again, in 2019. Again, as in most threads, spare a thought for those fans that have lost speedway this last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cue Ball 416 Posted February 1, 2019 Did anybody go on Wednesday night? Any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerAl 6 Posted February 4, 2019 Yes I was there on Wednesday and very entertaining it was too. First part was mainly Sheffield anecdotes and included Ty Proctor and Kyle Howarth and after the interval it was more about Nigel and Kelvin and their commentating stories from around the SGPs. Kelvin claimed to have beaten Shawn Moran once around Owlerton. Nigel once had a go on a bike at the now defunct training track at Sheffield with Shaun Leigh (the centre green guy at Sheffield) and both didn't fare too well. Nigel broke a finger nail which was enough for him to never go near a bike again !!! It was well worth the money and was well attended. There was a raffle with some decent prizes and some other merch on sale as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My best suggestion would be to ask Sheffield speedway at office@sheffield-speedway.com I`m sure that between them and the stadium owners discussions and hopefully agreement has been put in place regarding the panorama restaurant Sunday opening. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good job we'll be away on a cruise - I could just imagine what response I'd get if at 5.00pm on Mothers' Day (when 'er indoors expects to be wined and dined) I announced that I'd be off out to t'speedway! Same thing on Easter Sunday (21st April) which also happens to be her ladyship's birthday, so I'll be missing Leicester. Another holiday weekend is Mayday weekend on 5th May (Birmingham on that day). I reckon t'switch to Sunday racing might see me ending up in t'divorce court. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
