Cue Ball

RIP Roman The guy was an out and out racer and entertainer

Don’t believe it was suggested it did have any relevance in the uk... so what’s your point? Although, Jack Holder will be a Sheffield rider next season, so it is of relevance to Sheffield supporters... and as most of us live in the UK, it does have some relevance here...

Welcome back Todd

Can we go back to the CL please? Fans were much nicer Auty = a decent rider on his day, but has bugger all to do with Sheffield anymore, so I’m at a loss as to why we seem to have pages discussing him, or why there is so much unnecessary abuse. Think there are a couple of people on here who need to take their handbags outside or just chill the hell out!!

Love watching Auty ride, but can’t gate to save his life - which has meant that he has never reached the heights he should have done. Lack of ability to hate means that he will never get anywhere in this division. Would like to see Berge back; would definitely strengthen us at home

Next rider being announced in the morning... place your bets!!

Wonder if there was a swap deal - we get Kyle, they get Broc?

Howarth has been released by Wolves, so presume that he will be on the team sheet in the near future

Would love this if true, the guy is pure box office. As has been said, in the UK there would only be about Doyle better. Would imagine that Holder is the more likely ex-world champ to grace us with their presence

It’s a tough life...!!!

If Chris Van Straaten is to be believed, this thread needs moving to the Premiership section. Apparently he announced that Kent, Berwick and ourselves are on the move

Out of interest, why?

That was my first thought

Meant to be Kyle, but if he isn’t fit, you would guess that they would go with Todd given he used to ride there... or Broc if we can get away with it!

TEAMS: SHEFFIELD: Danny King, Josh MacDonald, Justin Sedgmen, Todd Kurtz, Kyle Howarth, Zaine Kennedy, Broc Nicol. NEWCASTLE: Steve Worrall, Thomas Jorgensen R/R, Lasse Bjerre, Matt Wethers, Ulrich Ostergaard, Max Clegg, Danny Phillips. A return to evening racing will make some happy and some sad... the return of Broc at the expense of Drew will make some happy and some sad... the current rain we are having will make some happy and some sad.... A day of mixed emotions!!

Redcar pushed Glasgow to a last heat decider last night, definitely won’t be a pushover

MPT has tweeted that he never agreed to ride today - he was asked, but hadn’t said yes, he then cracked his frame which meant that he couldn’t in any event.

Schlein should get a ban for that little stunt The pat on the back from his mechanic and the big grin on his face in the pits is pretty disgusting and disrespectful to those who have paid to watch. Made worse by Kurtz popping out of the gate and getting the fastest time of the night so far... track can’t be that bad. Have always liked Rory, but have just lost a lot of respect for him

And Broc has just taken a trip to hospital from Leicester...

Any word on whether we can have a guest for Kyle?

Not a good meeting from a Sheffield perspective - if Bowtell hadn’t taken a dislike to the back straight fence, Scunny would have been deserved winners. Still not really sure how we managed to win to be honest!!

Looks like we might possibly both be a man down for this fixture. Howarth and Garrity both failed to make it past turn 1 at Redcar in the British semi and have headed to hospital, fingers crossed they’re both ok

Any news on Drew? Birmingham surprised me for the first half of the meeting by keeping up with us, but the second half was a different story and having heat leaders made the difference for the Tigers. Made me chuckle when the announcer before heat 13 said something about the battle of the big guns and I overheard a Brummie supporter complaining because they didn’t have any!!

Heat 15. Wowsers. Hats off to all 4 riders, talk about saving the best until last!

Does anybody know how much the picture got auctioned off for in the end?
