Cue Ball

He's invested in the club in terms of the track (additional shale), riders, improved the presentation, spent time/money putting the team together.

I see your point 😀

Crump's tweet says riding at Sheffield 'this' year

Steady retirement meeting in March by the sounds of it... looks like Jason Crump has agreed to ride

And all this is based on perception from the terraces without any actual knowledge of whether riders were under performing on purpose, or whether they were underperforming due to inferior equipment due to cash flow problems or if they just had a bad season and were (heaven forbid) actually just trying their best and falling short of the mark.

With a 5 point average, not many teams will fit BWD in at reserve I would imagine

Good point, well made

If Branford is the reserve of choice, it leaves us with 5.66 for the final rider, in which case Klindt would look about the best of the bunch that are left

I know nothing about track preparation, but I've said before that I wonder whether the track is down to the bikes not being able to handle a lot of dirt anymore. Cracking move to get Stead to be manager - if he can assert the same influence on the other riders as he did on Bates we should see increases in average across the board. It will particularly be good for somebody like JPB who, if taught the right way regarding both on and off track aspects of the sport, could go far

One of the best full stop not just in the Premier league. Happy retirement and hope he enjoys whatever he chooses to do

10.26 remaining, Steady would leave us with less than 2 points so that looks like the end of him at Sheffield 😞☹️️

8.90 average

Would be very surprised if Howarth/Bates is on that list. Would guess that Tungate and Josh G will be at the top and wouldn't be surprised to see Stark/Wright up there as well and probably the Rebels reserve pairing too

Gutted! Enjoyed watching the little Frenchman and don't think we got to see the best of the bigger version either

Bellego to Swindon so that's him definitely out of our plans

Announcements for Wolves and us... Howarth?

Maybe coming to Sheffield could help with his eternal quest for speed

Garrity has taken it that he won't be back according to his Facebook page

It looks like that mistake has been made - Sheffield Star says that he is heading through the exit door...

According to the Sheffield Star, we are in talks with Bates (who remains popular with the Owlerton faithful) and JPB who we are hoping to sign on a 2 point average... not sure how when he hasn't ridden in the league before and so my understanding was that he would be a 3

Didn't see that one coming! A decent start to the team

Schlein has said that he has done a deal in the U.K.

According to the Sheffield Facebook page, they are putting the finishing touches to our first signing and will be announcing soon. Would guess JPB given it is fairly obvious he will be joining us and should be a straightforward deal to be done (you would think)

Steady's steel shoe bent in half in a crash and hurt his foot - nothing broken as far as I'm aware. Not aware of an issue between Josh and Jason. Allegedly Jason fell out with Boocock, but he also allegedly had a van taken off him by a sponsor - neither of which he ever had, so who knows!! He has been in the pits with wrist strapped up helping Greaves for the past few home meetings.

My bad!! Read it somewhere and didn't bother to check the facts... A very deserved victory for the Rebels, just glad that we kept it respectable for the first half of the meeting at least
