weatherwatcher 664 Posted July 29, 2014 He is one tough cooky. Even more so if he is back racing again on Thursday. These lads must be something like Robo cop. Anyone who comes out of a crash like that deserves a medal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,069 Posted July 29, 2014 Fair play to the first aid team, that is going to give him a hell of an advantage when it comes to a first bend cut back. I haven't got a clue what your on about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midland Red 2,383 Posted July 29, 2014 Really made up that Andre is not as badly injured as first feared Fair play to the first aid team, that is going to give him a hell of an advantage when it comes to a first bend cut back. Pardon?????? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blazeaway 1,501 Posted July 30, 2014 Glad Andre is on the mend. I thought the first half of the meeting was actually pretty dull. Livened up as the night went on but certainly no better than the average televised matches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProperSport 96 Posted July 30, 2014 Throughly enjoyed the meeting at Sheffield and delighted to hear both riders are ok after especially Andre's horrific looking crash Been to Sheffield twice and found it superb - welcoming staff , good view of the pits , nice track and IMO one of the best Ive been to over the last few years Chris 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,925 Posted July 30, 2014 Having had time to gather my thoughts now here a few of thoughts. Nice to see Andre and Oliie were not as badly hurt as feared. The size of the crowd, when you on the telly yes the crowd did appear to a bit sparse, but when we arrived at the stadium which would be around 07.25pm , the car park was virtually full, which means there was more people at the speedway meeting or the roulette tables of the casino next to the stadium was about to take record takings. My guess is that the massive bar area was pretty full and that was the fans that you would not be able to see. The racing was a bit processional to start with but it did get better much better later on. And one thing that you would expect with the hot weather would be dust, did anyone see any dust? Sheffield, I thought we were carrying to many injured riders especially when a team like Somerset in town. I thought that Andre had his best performance in Sheffield colour's, and Taylor Poole just seems to be getting better and better. Somerset, were good, but in recent years they have always put together good attractive teams. Ollie Allen was once again superb around the Owlerton bowl, and Brady Kurtz definitely looks as though he has something about him. Big Al's comments about Leicester been a better race track than Sheffield really!!!!!!!!! On the whole I thought the new Sheffield Promotion showed that they can put on a show for SKY, and did the Premier League proud and the investments they have made a starting bear fruition, only thing missing now is the results. It will be interesting to see how they fair for next season when they start team building on a level playing field with the rest of the league. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
