emilali 500 Posted November 21, 2012 Funny how he has been riding for Swindon on Thursdays. Suggest you have a look through every Swindon thursday night meeting last season and tell me how many Alden rode in. Wont take long to count Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Friddy75 31 Posted November 21, 2012 Why would anyone not want Ricky Wells back! Young lad who got better and better as the season progressed. Came out of the reserve birth at Wolves and held his own at no2 then no4. Was our best performer away. On the way up. Stead started at 4 for Swindon, struggled then dropped to no2, struggled then dropped to reserve. Still didn't score well until the play offs. Not sure how everyone thinks he's going to hold his 9.20 average. Also look at other riders who also rode Elite and managed to stay or move into the main body who have lower averages than stead. Morris, Auty, Doyle, Roynon, Barker. All young lads on the way up. We may also have to change to Sunday to fit him in. Looking at comments on here and Facebook we could stand to loose half the crowd doing so. Screen tweeted today he may be looking for employment after the shocked phone call he had yesterday and Grosjczonez tweeted he hasn't had a call about a Premier league spot. Only rumours admittedly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wont take long to count Okay, checked and does say that he was signed for the same club as Seb Alden Masarna, but checking all the Masarna fixtures Simon rode in none of the fixtures. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasnt on about Stead riding in Sweden, read the original post, my post was about Alden riding every thursday, and not having ridden once for Swindon on a thursday.

graz gp 184 Posted November 21, 2012 I am glad you two sorted the Alden situation out. So that means we can't sign him then lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree about Wells. Should be good signing. Was annoying at times last year when getting higher scores in the elite league, but we can not change the past. Looking to the future, think he could improve his Sheffield average in 2013.Whilst I would also like Stead back, if it means Sunday racing this could probably mean the end of Sheffield Speedway, if the crowd gets any smaller, so not worth the risk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OdsalBoy 181 Posted November 21, 2012 Hi all, Ive got a sneaky feeling that it isnt going to be stead. ive got a feeling that we could be in for Screeny to lead us next season. There is also a part of me that isnt ruling out Mason Campton being at Sheffield next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted November 21, 2012 I would love to see Ricky Wells back at Sheffield in 2013 He started to put in some decent scores towards the end of the season, and he took a while to get dialled into the Sheffield track. He also had to ride the more difficult number 5 position as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stemoc 187 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure Adam wants to come back! I hope he does but if not Ricky would allow us 6.44 for the last rider Edited November 21, 2012 by stemoc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickster 23 Posted November 22, 2012 how is number 5 a difficult number for a heat leader? Your out with reserves for your first 3 rides! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted November 22, 2012 how is number 5 a difficult number for a heat leader? Your out with reserves for your first 3 rides! Exactly. Number 5 means nicely spread out heats, you ride with your reserve 3 times and the oppositions once do can average 4 without beating anyone. A 6.5 average at number 5 is pretty poor.
