Cue Ball

Is there any word on whether Andre will be fit? Given Wilson's performances towards the end of the season I'm surprised more people aren't shouting for his signature. I would be gobsmacked if Proctor wasn't in the line up next year (subject to fitness obviously)

Thanks for the loan of Bellego

Very happy with that!! I know he has an everage for a reason ie his away scores might not be amazing, but around Owlerton he could pass for a number 1

I take it back... Could still be Glasgow

I've not worked it out yet, but it's definitely not Glasgow

Your information may be correct (not really bothered either way to be honest), but a mate who has a mate who knows somebody's mate is hardly an official source

Glam cow?

Summers has handed in a transfer request to leave Redcar and Lawson is also set to leave them, according to Speedway 365 they could both be heading to the same northern club

I see Craig Cook mentioned... Not in the same class as the majority of other riders mentioned! He is very good, but when you think riders like Wilson, stoney, Watson, schott, Carr, shields all rode in the league at the same time, I think it demonstrates how much stronger it was in the late 90's than it is now and how much tougher it was to stand out. I confess to being a Sheffield supporter and so am slightly biased, but Wilson and Stoney stand out to me for being 10 point riders with longevity over a number of seasons.

Guest v national league replacement, personally would prefer to see a rider that is on the pace than an NL guest (no disrespect intended)

Averaged 5.6 from 9 meetings for Sheffield. Feel free to keep him

Not for me thank you. Have loved watching him ride in the past, but wasn't that good last year and then suffered yet another serious injury.

Can't complain at that for a first signing.

You win

Just going by Rob Godfrey's quotes in the Scunny Telegraph, it sounds da ok'd he is sorted in the UK as well

It's been announced in the Scunny Telegraph that Birks and Jorgensen are not riding for Scunny next year. Both have new clubs sorted....

The promotion have said that Poole won't be fit for next season unfortunately, so think he will be out of any team plans

Yes.

Gutted if that is correct

According to the Sheffield Star, the first signing may well be announced at the presentation night on 16 October. As the article refers to "new blood" it may give us an idea of which way the team is going to go. You have to presume that Stead, Bates and Poole are nailed on certainties (subject to fitness guarantees) so the first signing might give a clue if we are going for a big top end or a more balanced side

I wouldn't complain at that team although would be nice to fit Andre in given how well he was going before the crash

Who was the referee out of interest?

Think he was just testing fitness to see if he could ride tonight or not

It did. Sheffield had their best result of the season against the Monarchs, we only lost by 2! We could have lost by more if Cook hadn't put in what can only be described as a lacklustre performance

Is that with him saying that he would be racing again next season earlier?
