Would not mind if we could swap Robin (Aspegren) for our number 7.

So we have the season ticket price remaining at £300 for 2013. Included in the fixtures are he PLRC, British Semi and international. If the Sheffield Management read this could they clarify which, if any of these matches season tickets will be valid for. I assume as in past years they are not valid for PLRC. If I remember correctly, in 2010 season tickets were valid for the British Semi (but no free programme) in 2011 admision had to be paid for but we got programme free so not sure which will apply in 2013. Not sure what will apply for the international.

This is something I received from Premier Sports and copied Sorry did not come out right so I deleted it was in excel format

Did they say what dates these are on?. Also was there any definate announcement of race day. I am sure that it will soon be time for draft fixtures to be done, and will therefore need to be decided.

Now on Sheffield Speedway website, Hall has signed for 2013. Says he is delighted with deal. Would it be so different to the deal on offer to Wells?

Thanks for the info

Was in last weeks Speedway Star that Benji is looking to make a comeback. Ricky Wells can not make it pay, but Benji Compton (unlikely to average 6.5 in the premier league) wants to make a comeback. It makes you wonder who can and can not make the sport pay.

Thought Benji had retired. I was at Scunthorpe for what was announced as his last ever ride. He had engine failure at the tapes so not the finish he would have wanted.

Should not take as long to do this year. Looking at the minimum number of official fixtures over three years; 2011 13 League 6 Second Phase, and 1 KO Cup, total 20 2012 12 League 5 Pre-season tourney 1 KO Cup total 18 2013 12 League 2 Pre-season tourney 1 KO Cup total 15. Has there been any official statement about why the number keeps reducing (or failing this speculation from posters on this forum)?? With less fixtures could make it more financially challenging for the riders, and be many gaps in the fixure list for the fans.

Just speculation on my part, but was the article in the local newspaper about Wells wanting more money done in the hope of attracting some sponsorship for him??

If a rider averaging approx 6.5 in the premier league can not make it pay, how do lesser riders survive, financially???

Looking at the rest of the premier league teams announced so far, I do not believe any team, other than Sheffield can fit Wells in (unless they release another rider already signed). Would Wells be better off just riding Elite League only?

I was under the impression that they were sticking with the traditional Thursday night. That was the impression I get also but I would like to see some definate announcement from Hoggy or Machin, preferably soon.

I do not think they have set a price yet. Has it yet been announced offficially by management what day we will be racing? Perhaps they believe that fans will not commit to buying one until this is announced.

Enjoyed watching that. If you know of any more please post the details on here. Thanks

I hope it is Thursday, but if a decision has been made, why not put in on the website. I know of supporters who would go less often on Sunday's so if it is true would make sense to let the fans know, before they start thinking of what else to do on Thursday nights.

Is there likely to be a Xmas meeting at Scuuny this year. If so, if anyone knows dates times etc would like to know.

How about Josh Grajczonek Ricky Wells David Bellego and Stefan Nielsen. I think that would fit under the limit

Agree about Wells. Should be good signing. Was annoying at times last year when getting higher scores in the elite league, but we can not change the past. Looking to the future, think he could improve his Sheffield average in 2013.Whilst I would also like Stead back, if it means Sunday racing this could probably mean the end of Sheffield Speedway, if the crowd gets any smaller, so not worth the risk.

The poll appears to now be closed. Not much use to those like me who have only just heard about it. Stick with Thursday.

If they read this forum it is obvious most fans want Thursday.

Seems the overwheming opinion is the fans want speedway on Thursday. Any change would be a massive risk as it would be much easier to lose the old supporters than gain the new.

Get Ricky Ashworth back then.

Thursday for me. If changed to Sunday would go to about 25% of the matches only. Where as in the last 20 years, missed a total of 2 matches. Do the management want to lose fans who only miss 1 match every 10 years? Would like Steady back though. Any possibility of him doubling up with another Elite team.

If Sheffield wanted to change race day to Sunday, are other local tracks allowed to object if they think it would affect their attendance? If so would have thought Buxton would not be too happy about this. How many Sunday's could they run, would Stock Cars take priority on dates they wanted?
