Cue Ball

Great article in the Star about Matousek, I remember loving to watch him tide, but don't think I was old enough to realise how good he actually was on the works scene

Damian Bates said that there would be news on the team manager over the next couple of weeks. I did think Ash would probably be the prime candidate - he was already meant to be getting involved in the training track I seem to recall

I concede it doesn't leave a lot of time... But on a 2.45 finish it gives you 3 hours 15 and realistically a bit longer because belle vue won't start bang on 6pm by the time they do presentations etc. That said if I was a Leicester fan with a ticket I would be peeved

Apparently the Leicester meeting starts at 1pm so there would, theoretically, be time to do both. Doubt Mr Bates is that bothered about it clashing with Belle Vue, it will be Leicester's ticket sales that will suffer rather than Sheffield's

Think I read somewhere that they will be out in a couple of weeks.

Klindt needs removing from Rye House and adding to Scunny instead of Poole

Happy New Year Tiger fans... It's gonna be a good un 😃

Think he was trying to point out the typo of EDR instead of EWR

If we can stay injury free, we should be in the play offs at least, a strong looking team

You've got to be in it to win it

Not sure which state it was, but one of them has said no out of state riders are allowed in their competition. In any event, Proctor doesn't fit with the people was release of an exciting British rider and a European

2.5 hours? Do you go via Birmingham?

6.98 average for Howarth, so would leave us with 4.17 to play with

Pin it... You know you want to!!

Richard Hall for Sheffield

Good signing. The problem with Richard in the past has been that he has had a heat leader average but struggled away from home...he now has a low average which will fit with his away ability and we know that he is more than capable of making a mockery of it at home. Also, he is fantastic to watch 😃

Gotta beat the Monarchs somehow! Surprised that there has been not much mention of Poole or Proctor being in the team

Not sure if our pits are big enough for his hair 😀

He actually said 'it looks like it's time to move on' which would suggest he has been told that he is surplus to requirements. Personally think that he could still have done us a good job, but there you go we will now never know

That's great news, we have never been as strong since the training track closed

Josh it is

See the logic in saying Arthur, but unless they can be sure about there not being a draft, it would seem a risk. Josh is probably the more likely one

Brady is a difficult one, he has been awesome around Sheffield this season for the most part, but some of his scores at the Oak Tree and on the road haven't been great, whereas a fit Steady is pretty much good for double figures everywhere he goes. That said, Brady is only 18 (?) and clearly has more talent on a bike in his little finger than I will ever have and so wouldn't be unhappy to have him

The ongoing whinging about the fixture date at Sheffield

Yawn... Let it go!! The fact is that they could ride and did ride (save for sick note)
