  1. The past 3 times I've seen Nemo at Scunny he has practically done nothing, so I don't think he will be a big miss on this occasion. Doolen, Karlsson and Graverson all usually go well there. It's going to be a good meeting.
  2. I'm really looking forward to this one, I always seem to end up watching Speedway in Scunthorpe on a Bank Holiday for some reason. I honestly can't predict who will win this. I hope the sun shines and we have some great racing.
  3. I would think DH is rather pleased he's not in Sunderland.
  4. Wasn't it Len Silver who was involved with Sunderland. Lasted about 3 seasons then folded due to lack of support.
  5. It's going to be close. Redcar can take their total to a possible 45. While Leicester can take theirs to a possible 49. However, to do that we would need to win at both Scunthorpe and Newcastle by 7 points. I appreciate that there are all sorts of different permutations.
  6. Excellent win at Redcar gives us a much needed 4 points in the top six battle. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at the result, I thought we would get beat. I also thought we would beat Rye House home and away. That leaves us with Berwick - Home Sunthorpe - Away Edinburgh - Home Newcastle - Away I believe we can beat Scunthorpe I don't hold out much hope at Newcastle. And we can win both home meetings. Interesting times.
  7. Oh Dear not looking fantastic is it. Think I might play it safe with this one, shame . Thanks for the post, and hope it is on for the people taking the gamble.
  8. It's a terrible position to be in not knowing what the weather is going to do. Faced with making the decision of if I should put £50 worth of fuel in the car and drive two odd hours to a speedway meeting that might be called off HELP
  9. Generally speaking the racing has got better. If you think that Leicester will pack in your living in fantasy land, just look at the crowd there on Sunday far bigger than most premier league tracks, no question.
  10. Could prove to be very entertaining this one. Leicester need all 4 points to stand any chance of reaching the top six. I'm thinking about making the trip for this one.
  11. Never fear. There is a master plan in place. We are heading for the Elite League next season where Sky will give us loads of money.
  12. include former Wolverhampton Wolf Magnus Karlsson. And no it has nothing to do with farming.
  13. What does it matter. He's gone. rides for a team in Lincolnshire I understand.
  14. They can probably win at Rye House, and I would also say run Scunthorpe very close. All is not yet lost.....Keep the faith.
  15. James Sarjeant good choice . Good luck Mr Branford.
  16. I first saw Branford ride for Redcar at Sheffield a couple of seasons ago I think. I can't remember what he scored, but he did look quite promising at that stage. Since then I've seem him ride rather a lot and he does appear to have lost his mojo somewhat. I'm sure he is trying his best, but the Leicester track is a difficult one to master.
  17. Here you go, hope it helps. SHEFFIELD Speedway would like to clarify the circumstances behind the departure of Richard Hall from the club last Thursday with the following statement: On the afternoon of Friday July 19 we were informed by Richard’s father that he would not be at Rye House on the 20th, a sick note was not submitted until we were on route to Rye House the following day. This note declared Richard unfit for work for 7 days which prevented him riding until Friday July 26 - this of course ruled him out of Team GB last Thursday and was communicated to the Team GB Manager and Richard on Monday July 22. The Sheffield and Glasgow promotions met at Rye House to discuss the possibility of extending the loan of Andre Compton at a time when Simon Stead, Joe Haines, Damien Koppe and Richard Hall were all missing through injury and a decision was taken not to extend the loan. Richard’s injury had also caused a withdrawal at Newcastle and he had informed us that he was struggling to cope with the tighter circuits consequently a decision was reached to rest him bearing in mind the forthcoming fixtures at Newcastle, Edinburgh, Plymouth and Ipswich. Andre Compton was not available to be included in a team change request until Thursday July 25, this was submitted with the following reason given, “Richard Hall’s performance hampered by a recurring shoulder injury, we reserve the opportunity to re-introduce Richard once fully fit”, this is a direct quote from the official application form. Permission was subsequently granted, circulated electronically by the authorities to clubs at 15.48 and seen by us at around 17.00, the time that Richard would be expected to be on route to Owlerton. It has subsequently transpired that a source close to another club breached the confidential nature of the document and chose to confirm the team change on a well known internet forum between 18.00 and 19.00 prior to Richard’s arrival, we were not aware of this until the following day. On Friday July 26 we received a continuation sick note for a further four weeks
  18. I thought Peterborough wouldn't allow their rides to double up.
  19. If that is the case then I agree. What is the point of having Bjerre if he can't make half the meetings. Apparently David Howe is the guest on Saturday against Sheffield.
