tigerowl 630 Posted January 8, 2013 I would prefer Thierry Hilaire to Wells. At least he put the effort in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,375 Posted January 8, 2013 I find it hard to believe that Wells lost money riding for Sheffield he probabably meant he spent most of it subsidising his equipment to ride in Elite League which would be a different issue IMO. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted January 9, 2013 Looks like Richard Hall will be the next Sheffield signing. http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/speedway/sheffield-tigers-simon-can-stead-y-ship-1-5291807 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifordukesfan 60 Posted January 9, 2013 Re the report in todays Sheffield Star,what a roundabout way of announcing Richard Hall is signed ! Time to forget Wells & sign Dakota North, much more potential for points & excitement, & same starting average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS50 359 Posted January 9, 2013 Now on Sheffield Speedway website, Hall has signed for 2013. Says he is delighted with deal. Would it be so different to the deal on offer to Wells? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAVEK 66 Posted January 9, 2013 Now on Sheffield Speedway website, Hall has signed for 2013. Says he is delighted with deal. Would it be so different to the deal on offer to Wells? Probably not... The more I think about the last place, the more I would like to see someone like Dak North to fill it. Steady home average and decent away average last year.

Time to forget Wells & sign Dakota North, much more potential for points & excitement, & same starting average. Dakota North has already done a deal with a club, just not announced yet. I suspect it is Sheffield or P'boro, it cant be both as all P'boro riders will be full time elite this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at his twitter accounts he has said that he has sorted his riding for Europe, and that is all it says. In saying that I have a feeling that he will go full time Elite next season.

Very similar to the Twitter message. I think it is hard to try and read through the lines of what he is saying because he says Europe rather than Britain. Could it be he waiting to announce signing for a team in another country. I don't know, but I just don't see Dakota North riding at Sheffield, next season. .

graz gp 184 Posted January 9, 2013 Whoever the last rider is i think we are in for a tough season. A lot on Steady's shoulder's. I hope i am way off. But i am not very confident that most of the lad's will improve on there starting average's. If we struggle will the managment make changes, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,890 Posted January 9, 2013 Well, this looks an horrendous side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJK86 180 Posted January 9, 2013 Well, this looks an horrendous side. Agreed and god forbid if Steady gets injured at all then we will be in serious trouble. We might be solid enough at home but we have thought that in previous years and we just keep getting turned over by much better sides overall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
