  1. Thanks for that. Should prove to be a very shrewd signing.
  2. Any chance that you could show us the link showing the information please.
  3. I don't my friend. Took the info from Speedway Updates pages.
  4. Could be Josh, bearing in mind that he finished the season as third heatleader, and he maybe thinking that he deserves a pay increase. Or could be that interest may have been shown from other clubs who may have offered him big money. But Josh and other possible interested clubs need to be careful as Josh did not do a full season in the Premiership and may struggle to maintain or improve on that average. Kings Lynn are a club that I would imagine would show more than a passing interest in him. And as much as I love watching Josh and would love him back at the club I do think that their has to be a ceiling on riders pay rates at the club and if the money we are prepared to pay and his figure that he wants is wide of the mark then let him go.
  5. Well he is basing himself in UK, next season and has said that he would be quite happy to return to Sheffield next season. Make of that what you want.
  6. I was going to include that information but was not exactly clear.
  7. Not possible as far as I aware. Birmingham have to run 20 meetings as part of the rent agreement.
  8. Maybe. But on an starting average I would look for him to maintain or make a small improvement. The riders that tend to lose their place in teams are the 5 to 6 point men. Also if Ellis's chance of team spot in the Sheffield due to the improvement he made then the same could be said for Jack Holder. Both made similar improvements on their starting averages
  9. I think its really only one Poster is has said he would not have Adam back, and he is entitled to his or her opinion. I think they will be disappointed as reading between the lines Adam wants to be back and the club want him back as well. And I would say that the vast majority of fans want him back at Sheffield.
  10. Not interested in what happens at Scunny. So for the record he fell 4 times in 88 races. Twice at Kings Lynn and Twice at Wolves (Same meeting). One of the falls at Kings Lynn was caused by the chain snapping. So only 3 falls caused by rider error. Would hardly describe him as a prolific faller.
  11. How many times did fall riding for Sheffield?
  12. Replace Erik Riss with Jack Holder Replace Anders Rowe with Stefan Nielsen . And your talking.
  13. I think a lot will depend upon whether or not he is still classed as a Rising Star. If he is not classed as a Rising Star then I think I prefer Stefan Nielsen.
  14. I totally agree with the 6 man teams, especially with the shortage of quality riders.
  15. which 3 championship clubs folded. Eastbourne was would appear to be due to Mis- Management, reputed to be returning in 2023 Kent appears to be down to new stadium owners increasing the rent and the Promoter not feeling he could afford to carry on with the rent increases, still given extra time to find a Promoter to take it on. (But not likely to happen) I would not say that Birmingham have folded there seems to be consortium that seem to really interested to keep Birmingham running. So I make that at this present moment Eastbourne temporary not running Kent more than likely to fold. Birmingham a reasonable chance to see them running next year.
  16. But you made the point that Promoters from other clubs were picking the bones of Eastbourne speedway. It is on record from the riders that they had not been paid and were owed money. What is so wrong with clubs coming in and offering those riders jobs at their clubs. At the end of the day the problem at Eastbourne is down a certain party as I see , I fail to see how the BSPL can be held accountable for one parties poorly run business. As you point out its not just riders who have been duped there are many others, and I am not saying the BSPL are perfect far from it, but to lay the blame and to criticize them for taking riders from the then defunct team at Eastbourne. One thing that they surely need to do is to have a better vetting system when giving out Promoter liscenses.
  17. For me. Sam Masters Richie Worrall Claus Vissing Bjarne Pedersen Ben Barker Kenneth Bjerre Corey Gathercole
  18. Disappointed to see that the Championship clubs have dumped the Rising Star programme. For me riders need to be able to progress through the league and to do this the programme has to run through all of the leagues. So it is looking like only 6 teams in the Premiership So with one Rising Star for each team these are the riders that should be the 6 Rising Star, Leon Flint Tom Brennan Jordan Palin Anders Rowe Drew Kemp Dan Thompson I would then like to see reserve list, these riders will cover Guest appearances for the above riders, retirements or riders dropped. Dan Gilkes Joe Thompson Jason Edwards Henry Atkins Jack Parkinson Blackburn Connor Bailey
  19. Sure I have seen that he has signed Daugavpils. So he would be allowed to ride in two other league's. UK Poland Sweden
  20. Because they need more teams in the Premiership. Poole are the obvious choice from the Championship. They have the rider assets and the support.
  21. Poole to move back into the Premiership. Jack Holder to Poole Jason Doyle to Sheffield.
  22. Only ever been to 2 STAARS meetings. They usually have at least one person from the club attend, Peter Mole is nearly always there. They have had some sort of Q/A when I have been but like I say I have only ever been twice.
  23. You mean Leicester and Sheffield swapping league's.
