RS50

How about starting at the advertised time of 7.30 (not the actual time of 7.50). An extra twenty minutes could have seen the meeting fully concluded.

Do injury replacements count?

Now sunny.

Now stopped. Reckon they will try to get this on, as a TV match.

Rain now in Sheffield.

Can imagine the reaction from Sheffield crowd, if he rides well.

Been ok so far.

Will that mean only Howarth and reserves can take his rides?

Suspected broken wrist is what i heard. Stated that Cook is doubtful for his Tuesday championship match. Presume guest for Allen r/r for Cook.

Not bought a programme for decades. Used to get a free racecard, while Neil Machin ran Sheffield. Not prepared to pay for a programme. If promoters want more money from me, put on more matches.

I suspected that they have been keeping the schedule secret for some time. I guessed it was likely that Sheffield v Ipswich would be on Eurosport, as soon as the fixtures were published (it was Sheffield's only Monday home match at the time). Any reason for the secrecy?

Has the line up been announced?

Appreciate the Nigel Pearson situation, but the official story on the website only mentioned stadium availability.

And on the subject of Tigers v Kings Lynn, the home league fixture , due to be raced on 12th May, but called off due to stadium unavailable ( why wasn't this checked prior to fixtures being agreed), still not re arranged, over 7 weeks after the call off. Why so long?

But as so few kids bother to come to speedway, why worry about them.

http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2769 Didn't do too bad on this occasion.

Sheffield v Ipswich I believe.

If they keep retaining the same team it will be more like "till death us do part"

C for concealed?

Will he win?

Would anyone like a return to the days when, if two equal riders of both teams (say each team number 1) was missing, both teams promoted a number 8 to the team, and adjusted the riding order?

According to their website, Freesports are showing a live Swedish match, Thursday 2nd June 6pm.

Always wondered. Was this his real name.

I have often thought that guests should be neutrally appointed. Problem would be, who would take up this " poison challis".

I believe you can still get a carvery (not certain as never had one). Should be able to get in early enough to eat before racing starts.
