Lasse Bjerre. Refusal To Ride.
spin king replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
http://www.somersetrebels.co/news.php?extend.2083 Taken from the Somerset website. Lasse was unable to ride, not refuse to ride. -
Tricky one to answer I think the South Yorkshire Tigers have been around longer. But we did in the long distant past get rename the Sheffield Tars I leave you guessing the sex of the Promoter who thought that one up. But down to the fact that we have only every ridden at the one track and Glasgow went under the guise of Coatbridge for a number of years, I am claiming the South Yorkshire Tigers are the original.

So we see the 2nd fixture of the Clash or the Tigers, and it should be a cracker of meeting. With the South Yorkshire Tigers defending a unbeaten home record, and Scottish Tigers coming South to try and not only win the match but go away with 4 points to keep in touch with the table topping South Yorkshire Tigers. Glasgow Tigers managed by the scowling Stewart Dickson who will lock horns with clean cut Simon Stead. Sheffield (1) Josh Scrabble man Grajczonek; Not only scores big on the scrabble board but around Sheffield can the Scottish Tigers fin a way to stop him. (2) Todd Mini Scrabble man Kurtz; Not so many point on the scrabble board, but has a habit of scoring some really important points around Sheffield. (3) Lasse Baby Bjerre; Hitting top form just at the right time and riding as well as Scrabble man at the moment. (4) Josh Barnsley Chop Bates; Glasgow fans love our little Josh, but beware guys he eats Glaswegians for breakfast. (5) Kyle Captain Fantastic Howarth; The man that leads the Mighty South Yorkshire Tigers, very dependable and better than Josh Auty. (6) Jan The Man Gravesen; Everyone needs a Jan, high scoring reserve and could be the difference in the two teams. (7) Georgie Boy Wood; Could well be our secret weapon, a little gem that fell into our laps reminds me of a certain Ricky Ashworth when he first burst into the team. The Glasgow riders will probably line up as follows; (1) Richie Interesting Worrall; The Steve Davis of British speedway (2) Danny Boy Bewley; The Cumbria Express fast regaining a reputation can the lad live up to it on the big occasion. (3) Richard Son of God Lawson; Looking at all of that hair and his facial hair he takes his nickname very serious, needs to be wearing his gating boots because he could not pass a fart. (4) Nike Hair Lunna; What will be the hairstyle this week, exciting unpredictable and has shown a liking for the air fence on the 1st and 2nd bends of Sheffield. (5) Aaron Rock Star Summers; Looks like the lead guitarist in Whitesnake, unpredictable around Sheffield could be a match winner or might just flop. (6) Tom Perry; Can ride Sheffield well, had some good ones had some poor ones which Perry will we see on Thursday. (7) Jack Smudger 2 Smith; Seems to have points tough to come by lately but he can ride Sheffield pretty well. So will it be another South Yorkshire Tigers win. Can the Scottish Tigers get anything from this match. Either way its a Tigers win.

Sheffield Tigers V Scunthorpe Scorpions. 24/08/2017.
spin king replied to graz gp's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Doing exceptionally well, but the moment me and my group that I stand with, said virtually in unison that we should get him signed up, and to be fair we should be thankful to the Berwick promotion for bringing him in as guest when they did because I don't think he would have come in for serious consideration before, but I think that we have had a little gem fall into our laps. The 3 rides I think is frustrating to fans and think it fair to say that we would all like to see him given his fair share of rides, as with every race he showing signs of improvement with every race, but the Team Management at Sheffield seem hellbent on been as ruthless at all times and are leaving nothing at chance to get the biggest win they can. -
Sheffield Tigers V Scunthorpe Scorpions. 24/08/2017.
spin king replied to graz gp's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
that one hell of a corner he needs to turn. Because lets face it Josh has been going downhill for the last couple of seasons. This season seems to be even worse; Home average; 7.87 Away average; 5.96 Compare that to Kyle Howarth. Home average; 8.77 Away average; 8.29 That is the Championship averages The Premiership average Josh Auty Home Average; 5.55 Away Average; 4.00 Kyle Howarth Home Average; 7.02 Away Average; 6.76 Head to Head Kyle and Josh have face each other 14 times this season with the result of each. Josh beat Kyle 6 times. Kyle beat Josh 8 times. I think Josh has long way to go to catch up with Kyle at this present moment, and present is what I am more interested in but if you want how many British Under 21 titles did Josh ever win, because Kyle won it once, and the Queensland Under 21 title Josh won, Kyle has won twice. I will give you the the two British Under 15 titles Josh has to his name, Kyle never won any of them, but then again I don't think he ever competed in them. But that is in the past and the present and given the choice at the present I would choose Kyle over Josh Auty everytime. -

spin king replied to graz gp's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
And how many times has he been on it the last couple of seasons. For me Auty needs to a leaf out of Kyle's book next season and move on and find new clubs in the Premiership and Championship, for me he is a comfort zone at Scunthorpe. -
Very good, are you sure you are not Ged Rathbone in disguise.

Have to admire your faith in your riders. Ranks alongside Gavan believing that Glasgow and Ipswich were going to meet in the Play Off Final.

Sheffield Tigers V Edinburgh Monarchs.
spin king replied to graz gp's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not the greatest meeting racing wise Have to say I am not a fan of speedway in the afternoon, much prefer to watch it in the evening. The Monarchs were very disappointing with only Wells, Pickering and to in the earlier heats Mark Riss. But as a team we are now very strong at home and for teams to come to Sheffield to get anything or to beat us over two legs I think that teams are going have to be at the top of their game, I think that we have peaked just at the right time. Can we go on to win the Play Offs? Really starting to believe that this could well be our year, although I believe that Glasgow have a slight edge over us at the moment, but that stretches the teams winning steak to 10 matches home and away and the team continues to grow in confidence. -
Sheffield Tigers V Edinburgh Monarchs.

This season 9 rides 12 points, would tend to agree with you, not very prolific. -
I think that you will find that both Josh and Lasse would be riding for Sheffield if Sheffield and Leicester would meet in the Promotion and Relegation Play Off. as they would if there was a clash of fixtures.

Redcar V Sheffield Friday
spin king replied to RedcarB123's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think that Kyle should held up as a shining example to riders how you improve as rider by moving and riding for teams with tracks that you are not particularly comfortable riding, and if you are going to double choose two tracks that are polar opposites, like Wolvehampton and Sheffield. Its amazing how when Sheffield have rode away this season the praise that has been thrown Kyle's way, the lad has come on bundle since he move to the two clubs, and as well as been a more than capable heatleader in the team is proving to be a very good captain of the team and is very articulate. -
Sgb Championship Best Pairs 2017
spin king replied to idh's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
To be fair I think all shared events should be at the National stadium, surely that is what it is there for. Unfortunately people will constantly bang on about meeting been not been neutral, and my point is that no matter how hard you try these days you could not get a meeting run on a totally new neutral track. -
Sgb Championship Best Pairs 2017
spin king replied to idh's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
In this day and age is there a neutral venue? With so much doubling up there is nowhere in the two top leagues that could be classed a neutral. You then have to go to a National League track to get somewhere that would be totally neutral. -
Edinburgh V Sheffield Ch 4/8/17 @7.30pm

Well one way or another it looks like it could well be the year of the Tiger. -
Edinburgh V Sheffield Ch 4/8/17 @7.30pm
spin king replied to Mr Blobby's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
A massive result for us and takes us the top of the league for tonight. Maybe, just maybe they might start taking us more seriously. -
Embarrassing times for the Ipswich promotion. Not exactly good for team moral to be dropping riders and then asking them to come back.

Bandits V Sheffield 29th July Sgb Championship
spin king replied to BBSC's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Really pleased with the result as I felt that this might be a bit of a banana skin for us with Berwick bringing in Busk Jakobsen. But yet another solid performance from the Tigers, and we move closer and closer to that Play Off place, and taking a look at the league table we ain't that far behind the mighty Glasgow. For Berwick I surprised to see Morris and Busk Jakobsen lower point tally, and David Howe seems to be getting back to something like his best, I wonder if Rob Godfrey is keeping a close eye on him with the view of bringing him back to Scunthorpe or will David tell him that he would like to stay with the Bandits. -
