Not quite right, apparently they are signing the new hot prospect Drew Peacock.

What I cannot understand is how Rye and Tyson Nelson have been caught out again. Once is unfortunate, but twice in the space of three years is very clumsy and with Len Silver been involved in the travel business you would think that he would have a greater understanding if the situation.

Why have you got one to sell.

For me start of a new era, and the new Promotion seem to have capture everyones imagination the hardcore supporters like myself and the floating supporters, Neil Machin was a man of his time and he did a hell of a lot for the club, and we should never ever forget that, but the sport has moved on and having one man band Promoters will be a rare commodity in the future in my opinion, and feel that Neil did the right thing for the club and himself as I think the club had lost its way a wee bit. But the days of one man footing the bills and trying to make a sports club a profit are thing of the past in my opinion and the way to go is through a consortium to run clubs for the future. The new Promotion have made some excellent choices and decisions in my opinion in the short space of time that they have had the club and like many others have said and like everyone else has said after months of uncertainty and worry I now feel very positive about my speedway club Looking at the league with the exception of Workington and Scunthorpe who are the stand out teams in the league the rest of us are all pretty evenly matched and for me the 4 other play off places could go to anyone in the league.. The last two signings I think will be Andre Compton, and if I am hoest I would love to see Stefan Nielsen grab the last spot would give us a good balance of experience and youth.

And at Sheffield Adam Roynon.

That was Stefan he finished with a 4.90 average, but would qualify for a 2.5% reduction for been a young Brit.

Bearing in mind we have given most teams two or three months start in team building I think that the Promotion have done an excellent job regarding the team. There is an excellent balance of experience ad youth, and something that no one else has mentioned none of the top three are tied into racing for an Elite League team.

Very happy with the way things are going regarding team building, got the makings of a tidy team that I think will do well.

Not so sure that there has been doom and gloom, one person makes a point that a good competitor in a sport does necessarily make a good Manager, which is true, but who knows whether or not Joe will make a good Manager. My feeling is that alongside Simon Stead as captain we have for me and other Sheffield fans the Dream Team, and put a bit more life into the team and give us something to cheer about which for the last couple of seasons which has been hard work supporting the team. I honestly believe that the the new Promotion have there finger on the pulse and have picked up on what the fans want and so far they have delivered with the changes to the Team Management and the Team its self.

You are right in what you say, and there are no guarantees in sport, but I think the combination of Screeny as Team Manager and Simon Stead as captain I think that they will be a cracking combination, and I think that they will work well together. It could be construed as been a bit of a gamble but I think it might just pay off for the club.

Screeny the new Team Manager, and Josh Bates added to the line up. http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sports/speedway/speedway-legend-joe-passes-tigers-screen-test-1-6386738 Wonder if he will treat the riders to ride like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUw_cs6CsEs

I wonder if Screeny has heard about the chicken wraps that they sell in the cafe on Thursday.

Thought you might know Sparky.

Even Biker FM presenters Griff and Scott joining in the guessing game as to who the Sheffield mystery rider is.

The Return of Jason Crump!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Good Luck to lad if that is the case and we move on. End of the day it was an option that we had to sign him, and according to the Swindon Promotion he asked to ride for Sheffield.

Looks like we have Good News coming our way soon.

To be fair I think that fans of the club have been pretty patient, and I think that Dave Hoggart and the unnamed consortium recognise that. The main problem appears to be all the legal problems, but fans have been told that this should be sorted very soon. Like I have said there are still riders out there for the new promotion to go for that would make up an exciting team. The league this year looks as good as ever with every team been pretty even with the exception of the two stand out teams for me Scunny and Workington. Two ways the team build ing can go; (1) Bring in Nick Morris who appears to want to ride for club and would give us not only a powerful top three but one that would excite and entertain the fans. or (2) Build a team around Simon Stead and more depth to it. Either way I think that we could still be in with a chance of a play off place with the other 10 teams chasing Scunny and Workington.

Maybe but his Girlfriend lives in Chesterfield, so I would guess that he is going to be living with her, and Sheffield is closer to Chesterfield than Manchester, don't forget he is asking for a Sheffield based mechanic, he has not stated that he is living in Sheffield.

Yeah with Belle Vue looking for a rider of 3.13 and not a doubling up rider Mr Palm Toft could be signing for Belle Vue.

Don't Quote me but I think it was yesterday.

Not Bonky, Barrie.

The idea is a good one, but the problem is the strength of the top 5. For instance to get Andre at reserve and to get strong effective heatleader you would be looking at two second strings between the averages of 5 and around 5.50. The problem there is that those types of rider are not available or you are looking at assessed riders and to be frank we went down that line last season, and I don't think that we really want to go down that line again. Having Andre at 2nd string and 2 3 point riders I think you have better options for an example. Nick Morris and Dakota North. or Nico Covatti and Leigh Lanham.

I would more than welcome the lad back, and I think that the majority of fnns would. But I suppose its if the numbers fit, and the Promotion have sent out an appeal for accommodation for lad nearer to Sheffield. There seemed to be quite a few if and buts to whether or not he would be asked back.

I would not be against having both Damo and Facu at reserve although I get the feeling Facu might not be back. If we were to have Damien another 3 point reserve plus Andre in the side, would leave us with 15 points for the last two riders.
