StevePark 2,781 Posted July 12, 2015 With just a few hours to go before tapes up, I thought someone had better start a thread ! Diamonds are at full strength, with Stevie W going back up to Number 1, Christian goes back to Number 2 and Lewi K goes to three with Anton at 4. Sheffield have Josh Grajczonek as guest for Simon Stead at Number 1, while our good friend Stuart Robson guests for the injured Andre Compton, with R/R for the injured Ashley Birks.

spin king 1,923 Posted July 12, 2015 Could be a very interesting meeting as the with the wonderful world of British speedway we are possibly stronger with the enforced changes that we have to make. Maybe we can just maybe come away from Brough Park with a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bri1966 201 Posted July 12, 2015 Sheffield stronger with Robbo Still think we will win by 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Diamond 51 Posted July 12, 2015 Past seasons this is an easy victory for the Diamonds but this is the stronges Sheffield team at Brough for a while they lost by 5 in the trophy. They are also better on paper with Bates and Robbo than Sarjeant and Konopka last meeting who got little between them guesting in the trophy meeting, Robbo also stronger than Compton who never done much in recent years. Plus Garrity and Grajczonek scored points this season, although Birks might be a miss and Bellego usually struggles but Diamonds will have to ride well. Good thing Anton fit and the team order is stronger in my opinion as Kerr and Christian will hopefully benefit from change just hope the team gets the points. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graz gp 184 Posted July 12, 2015 If the Tigers all ride like they can we could go very close. The two guest could swing it in our favour with a bit of luck. No more injuries please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 12, 2015 With Graz. and Robbo , this should make for an interesting evening with Sheffield. Still think the three points will be ours, but the score line might be a tad closer than is usual for a Diamonds/Tigers meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robbieblackadder fan club 145 Posted July 12, 2015 Absolutely shocking performance tonight no wonder crowds are low. Something needs to be done now to save the season to many riders underperforming most of the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king 1,923 Posted July 12, 2015 Well I did not see that one coming. Well Done the Tigers, that Play Off place looks to be on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bri1966 201 Posted July 12, 2015 Four riders 13 points between them at home is not acceptable. Well done Sheffield could watch Garrity every week speedway needs more Jason Garritys 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrace Grumbler 337 Posted July 12, 2015 On a track set up for gate-and-go riders Newcastle came a cropper when they didn't. The problems are epitomised by Henry (who is the mirror image of Garrity) and Kerr - I thought that he couldn't be bothered unless he gates, but it seems I was wrong; in heat 15 he gated but didn't try to hold his position. I don't mind if we lose : the trophies are meaningless in this league. But I don't like it when members of the team don't appear to be bothered. Until now I hadn't thought that it would be worth changing the team, but I have changed my mind : let's give Dimitri Berge a go, if he's available and willing to come (and he is affordable). One last word about the track: the amount of track work seems far more than we had in the past - I wouldn't mind if it created a good rack surface, but it doesn't. Is the season over?

graz gp 184 Posted July 12, 2015 A great all round team performance. Every rider contributed to the score. We keep having riders getting injured but the promoters keep finding the rider to do the job. Well done to everyone associated with the Tigers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Four riders 13 points between them at home is not acceptable. Well done Sheffield could watch Garrity every week speedway needs more Jason Garritys He is a breath of fresh air both on track and in the pits. Yes sometimes he needs to put less pressure on himself and not risk points but nobody could ever question the commitment or his love for racing. 100% effort everytime and when on form he is brilliant to watch.

HadrianDog 291 Posted July 12, 2015 Cant help but think that for some reason we are prepping a track which no longer favours the home riders enough any more. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
