stratton 1,491 Posted January 7, 2014 Pleased to hear that the new Tigers Promotion are asking fans for their idea's. Look what it did for the Comets when Laura Morgan and her team took over. A totally refreshed atmosphere at Derwent Park. Good look to Hoggy and his new partners. Thats the way to go Worky, Laura has done a great job listened to people did her research was also pleased last year when Rob Godfrey at Scunny was asking for the fans opinions.If this sort of attitude does not happen generally speedway will never progress.

romans lovechild 143 Posted January 7, 2014 an interesting read is that, I for one hope we don't sign nick as it would make us too top heavy and leave us weak in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thommo34 45 Posted January 7, 2014 an interesting read is that, I for one hope we don't sign nick as it would make us too top heavy and leave us weak in the middle. I hope this does come off - but I don't think it will. It does give us a strong top end but if we are able to use Andre, Damien and Facu who are all capable of upping their average then I think we have a team of racers and an exciting team to watch.

spin king 1,927 Posted January 7, 2014 I had a funny feeling that this might happen. Do feel for Swindon though, they are the ones to suffer through the Somerset fiasco. Maybe we could be looking at a Sheffield that could look like this. (1) Simon Stead (2) Facu Albin (3) Adam Roynon (4) Dakota North (5) Nick Morris (6) Damien Koppe (7) Jake Knight 42.15 or maybe (1) Simon Stead (2) Andre Compton (3) Adam Roynon (4) Tero Aarnio (5) Nick Morris (6) Damien Koppe (7) Jake Knight. 42.20 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Third Man 2,218 Posted January 7, 2014 How about newly-retired Doug Wyer? he knows how to solve the problem of the sun on the back straight 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackadder 280 Posted January 7, 2014 Doug Wyer and Jim McGregor came up with a simple solution for the problem with the sun on the 3rd bend - put tinted goggles on. For some reason, it didn't go down well with the riders. After seeing him in an old Heartbeat on ITV2 yesterday, I will put Paul Cooper's name in the hat for the Team Manager's job.

Dcb7 23 Posted January 7, 2014 I would love to see Nick Morris join us, what an exciting top 3 that would be!! Steady, Royno and Morris...Stick Andre and Rich Hall in at 2 & 4 with Facu and an up and coming Brit ie Jake Knight in at reserve that would do for me! Maybe not a championship winning side but not far off it, and guaranteed excitement whilst also packing the team with mainly British talent. Hope Swindon appreciate Nick Morris' dilemma, and let him join us...Is he anSwindon asset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope we pull out all the stops to get Nick Morris onboard - as he clearly wants to be a Sheffield rider ! Sign him up sign him up !!!!!

speedy bill 154 Posted January 7, 2014 Think Jack Lee would be a good call for team manager,he knows most of the new team well at least three and if we get Morris four have ridden under him before and he seems to know the others from being involved at Sheffield for a long time.Go get him on board he should be good for Tigers.
