Tigerblade 221 Posted September 7, 2015 Can't Sheffield do Saturday nights? If not it would be a pity. Been a couple of times for the PLRC and I think it's the ideal venue. I believe Owlerton is owned by the casino (Dave Allen) next door (A & S Leisure, I think they are called) and they prefer to put Greyhounds on in preference to Speedway. Greyhounds run on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. As Tigerish says, the dogs run on Saturday nights, has always been so (well, as far as I can remember) even before the current owners.

Paulco 7,101 Posted September 7, 2015 Great day out as usual , wasn't a great meeting but individuals very rarely are . Surprising , but deserved winner . Two Glasgow riders were a bit disappointing , but they usually are in this event , no winner since the great Robert Nagy in 92 . Thought the crowd was a bit down on recent years , the pub certainly was beforehand . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 414 Posted September 7, 2015 Not the best meeting to be fair but a fair result.Would have been interesting had Kennett made the final and gated ? I think the best meetings are at night but with all the travelling fans it would have a big effect on the crowd.Well done to all the lads who made the final especially Ulrich.If we get Peterboro in the play offs I hope he has an off night.

spin king 1,923 Posted September 7, 2015 As said the crowd levels were definitely down, as was the atmosphere, but it was noticeable that the Berwick contingent of fan base were missing and they usual very vocal. As my mate Paulco said the pub before the meeting was very quiet, might have something to do with me not putting the word out like have done in previous seasons. The racing was not that great, but for me the day is usually about meeting up with friends on the day and having some fun. Ostergaard was one of the better riders on the day and got the final just right where as Cookie who looked as though he was ramping it up to win but completely messed up the final. Best performance for me was the lad Andersen from Redcar who did ever so well and made the Semi Final ahead of some far more fancied riders. Biggest smile of the day Paulco after seeing Cookie failing to win the Final, a smile as wide as the river Clyde. Jason Garrity never really got going, but he will no doubt be back. And I swear I saw Ricky Wells smile. But it finally has to be Congratulations to Ulrich Ostergaard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He told me he'd blown an engne at Berwick and that he had just the one bike in the pits on Sunday. Riders eh? Best check his interview on the DVD to see what he said!

screm 8,069 Posted September 7, 2015 Is it true Gary Stead was refused entry to the pits yesterday?? Yes its true, and a bit shabby IMO. funny that. He told me he'd blown an engne at Berwick and that he had just the one bike in the pits on Sunday. Riders eh? Best check his interview on the DVD to see what he said! http://ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1122 This confirms that Kennett only had one bike to use at Sheffield having had machinery problems at Berwick the night before.

Blackadder 280 Posted September 7, 2015 I don't know the facts but I would assume it was because the Pits were so full, they had to create a gazebo extension just outside, to cater for all of the bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hel'n'Back 146 Posted September 7, 2015 Aye the stadium owners have spent all that money on upgrading the stadium and made the pits smaller! Ridiculous 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
