Cue Ball

Although 3 Premier League footballers did nick a taxi the other week in order to get back to their hotel... Wind yer neck in

Really can’t believe that people are having a go at him! He rides bikes at 80mph with no brakes for a living... of course he isn’t going to spend his spare time sitting in a library as some seem to think is appropriate! He’s got injured having a bit of fun, it happens. He could just have easily got knocked over whilst crossing a road, whilst being as sober as a judge, in broad day light. I just hope he makes a full recovery. I agree that we should look to get somebody in as a temporary replacement and I see Jan G being mentioned as a possibility. He did a brilliant job for us last year, but at reserve, not sure he would be as effective in the main body of the team.

Not sure how I feel about them changing the rules to fit Scott... on the one hand, he has been a fine servant for British speedway and deserves his chance to earn some cash, on the other hand, feel that the BSPA should grow a pair - they made a rule in the interests of the sport (I know that is a debatable point) and have then rolled over and amended it at the first sign of people being upset.

Details are meant to be getting announced tomorrow

The thought had crossed my mind when I saw Lynch had been sacked/let go / serviced dispensed with. Would be a big loss for Sheffield if we were to lose his services

Talking of team management - I presume that Steady will be in charge, but not sure that I've seen it confirmed anywhere?

Personally, at the start of the season, at least whilst Wright finds his feet, I would have Bjerre riding at 5. Has the ability to win races and is more likely to look after Shanes and Smith when he has the opportunity. Also don't think that he will miss riding with Bates - there were a few times last season where I feared they would take each other out!

From the Star Meanwhile, Tigers still want Kyle Howarth back but parent club Workington are refusing to budge. The clubs have been unable to agree a price for a full transfer and his place in the Sheffield side won’t be rubber stamped until permission is granted. This is, however, despite the fact Workington have built their team without Howarth included and are set to unveil their last two members. Howarth himself is on record saying he wants to be back at Sheffield and personal terms won’t present a problem in any deal.

NEWS: Josh Bates boost as he shelves retirement plans. Read the full story here: http://www.sheffieldspeedway.co/news.php?extend.2479 …

Workington have tweeted that their completed team will be announced this week, so you would presume that we will know where Kyle will be riding by week’s end too

We might know one way or another in the morning...

There is an article on the website saying he is having personal issues and that the club will stand by him whilst he works through them. Looks like it was a genuine post. Lets hope that he gets whatever it is sorted, but at the end of the day does what is best for him/his family

Would like to see Lambert riding for us every week, but his reputation does seem to be that he will be missing on a regular basis

Who knows - maybe a mate buggering about on his account. Maybe his own joke gone too far. Maybe hacked. Maybe it is true. Lets wait and see.

Or he is serious about retiring or he has been hacked, think we need to know the truth before comments are made about repercussions

Seems a bit curious that he signs for 2 clubs, sets up a new website and starts selling merchandise before deciding to quit. That said, he has a young kid and speedway is dangerous, so you never know

Sorry to see Georgie not get a place, thought he was nailed on after the way he progressed / performed last year. That said, excited about Shanes being in the team, he looks a very good prospect from what I have seen

Wright is 7.47

Ah... changed my phone and cant remember my password to access it!!

Where has the rumour come from that we were let down by somebody and changed our plans? Not seen anything other than on here

Lawson and Morris to Lakeside

Happy with that, not having baby Bjerre back would have been a big miss

Or... Scott was in front and Nathan went for a gap that was rapidly closing. Made no difference to the end result in any event, save for Sheffield might have lost by a couple instead of winning by a couple. We would still have ended up as deserved champions

As Glasgow have signed Chris Harris, does that mean Lawson could be a possibility for us?

A good looking team so far! Garrett and Auty mean that youre guaranteed entertainment on a weekly basis as well
