    Sheffield 2020

    8.00 was his given figure for Leicester back in 2018. To replace Troy,a riders average has to be equal or lower than his average if you want to keep the other four. So for example,you couldn't use Nicki in a straight swap,but you could use Jack's big brother Chris 7.16,or Tai 7.03.(If only!) Also there are Swedish fixtures on Thursdays that could impact a signing of a rider free of Polish meetings.

    Agree on James Shanes,odd that we haven't used him yet,Dan from Leicester looked promising last week against Kings Lynn aswell. As for Nicki for Troy (if it was possible),I think you could only do that by losing another of the top 4 (Kyle or Josh) and rebuilding to 35.50 as Nicki would come in on 8.50 +.

    Yes,that's pretty much the case,especially at Owlerton. Now he's not the number one it will be interesting to see where Steady places him in the team,assuming he stays a Tiger!

    Maybe doubling up would see an increase in his scoring for the Tigers...

    'They Retired Too Soon'

    Greg Bartlett,made his debut at reserve for Sheffield in 1994,rode at number one for the Tigers in the one big league in '95 beating some of the big names of the day around Owlerton and was making progress on the away circuits.Took a full time job as a miner back in Australia and rarely rode again.I always compared him to fellow Perth based rider Steve Johnston,who after a slow start,went onto have a solid British career and Barty was equally as good,if not slighty better than Johnno in his two seasons.

    If Troy's trying to get his rolling average down to join a CL team he's doing a reasonable job of it. Starting rolling average 8.82 July rolling average 8.33 Current rolling average (as of 15/07) 7.67 Actual season average 6.05.
  10. Hopeful of a point,but wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get one.

    The stadium is allowing people to bring their own food and drink in at the moment.

    Any idea who the riders are in this picture?

    Tv Times 27/7/63

    From Target magazine June 1972,any ideas on the riders names,even if the top picture is back to front! link for bigger picture, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E4qsBpvWUAMzXp1?format=jpg&name=large
  19. We're making hard work of our home fixtures,so you'd expect a Panthers win by about 10/12 points.
  20. Started off like the Tigers were going to win quite comfortably,then the next few heats the Witches gave us a gating lesson and looked likely winners only for it to swing back in Sheffields favour when Adam got going and Jack manged to fend off Cookie in 13.

    Tigers v Aces. 01/07

    The 3rd turn bar is only open for the use of the toilets. You can see into the pits from the 4th turn. Belle Vue look stronger at 2nd string and reserve,heats 2/8/14 Tigers tend to struggle with at the moment so you'd expect the Aces to just edge it unless the Tigers three heatleaders go unbeaten... There's a pub on the other side of the church at the top of the car park,dunno what its like for food as I've never been in it.Plus McDonalds,KFC and Pizza Hut are across the road from the track. You could dine at the restaurant on the home straight, but you need to contact the Stadium and let the Promotion know so they can maintain the crowd numbers. Here's the link for lastnights meeting with information. http://www.sheffield-speedway.com/news.php?extend.2983
  22. 50-40 ,Jack 15... More importantly,the restaurant is open!
  23. Tigers fared slightly better than I thought we'd do,however we do look a rider short in the middle order/reserve at the moment,as Justin and James look a tad one paced and Josh is er,Josh!

    Masks or no masks

    And that's the same at Owlerton.In fact it was pretty much a 'normal' meeting crowd on the 3rd/4th turn,you could stand where you wanted,me and dad had our usual place with plenty of people within arms reach,so to speak. The home straight was split in two though,with the season tickets holders towards the first turn and the pay on the gate fans near the pits end and a large gap in the middle. There was also a smattering of fans on the first turn under the new building.
  25. If you have proof of purchase,might be worth bringing it to Owlerton and asking to see a member of the promotion at the turnstiles.
