spin king

Maybe. I would not be surprised to see an announcement for at least one signing this Thursday. Looking at the Sheffield Speedway Facebook page it seems that the consortium are asking fans for their views on the all different matters regarding the club, which is pretty refreshing, and claim to have a few new ideas of their own.

Have to say Rob Godfrey has done it again with an excellent looking team. The fact that he stuck with the lad Douglas has to be a major coup for this season, the lad looks as though he could put some serious points on his average. With the exception of the lad Williamson you can see a team of 6 riders who have the potential to average between 6.5 to 8 points. For me they are the team to beat.

Or maybe Sean already has his hands full with his own business. http://www.seanwilsonracing.co.uk/

Again would rather go with a proven experienced Team Manager. Both Sean Wilson and Stoney were excellent riders and captains, but that does not mean that they will be great Team Managers.

Would rather go with someone who has a proven track record as a Team Manager.

Jack Lee is at present the Team Manager at Buxton, has a wealth of experience as a Team Manager.

I think it is highly unlikely that Garry would be interested always said that Team Managing does not interested him plus he has a thriving business that keeps him very busy. But Jack Lee could be and has a wealth of experience, and would be a good call.

Why not wait for this thread when all of the teams have been completed.

Bridger not worth taking at the average he would come in on. It leave use with 14.86 for the remaining 4 places, which simply is not enough.,

Cannot disagree with those finishing sentiments. The last two seasons have been hell, and I have gone to meetings more out of habit than enjoyment.

As I said I don't know merely pointing out how it effect the group that go to speedway with. Anyway with the Eagles now using Sundays for Rugby matches that effectively rules out Sunday racing. One of the reasons for mentioning Wednesdays is that the stadium would be far more accessible on a Wednesday than on a Thursday, giving the Promotion more time to work on the track and don't forget that they now have an air fence to erect. But of course the main thing is that we get a winning team that we can be proud of.

i don't know. For me its not a problem these days I can go any day of the week, but in the group of 4 that I stand with SKJ, Squall and Roynon Fan. Sundays would rule out Squall due to work commitments, which in turn would more than likely rule out Roynon Fan. That 50% of our group ruled out. I don't think that Sundays is a great idea, there are lot of the top boys who ride Polish lower leagues on a Sunday. And as you have pointed out the above are now booked to use Sundays.

Sunday afternoons were basically thrown out by the fans last season. I am thinking along the lines of maybe going with Wednesday nights.

Got to be honest I much prefer the 20 heats everyone races everyone once, and the rider who scores the most points wins the meeting. Not keen on the Semi Final and Final type system.

Who knows. Could it be that he is about to change his Elite League club. Maybe Sheffield could change their race night. Who knows. Nick did state on his Facebook page some fans will be disappointed with his next announcement.

With Ollie signing for Coventry and the Coventry/ Peterborough connection there was every chance that Ollie would finish up at Peterborough. I am actually surprised that Somerset did not take him/ But you know what if Nick Morris is doing Premier League, there is only one club that can now fit him in.

Saw him a few times Guesting for Sheffield last season. Very promising rider, even won a heat 14 beating Lewis Blackbird, Jason Bunyan and Tyson Nelson.

Home is Australia to Rob Branford and where his family lives. He has already stated his preference to ride as a Brit. Whether or not he makes the grade remains to be seen, no argument that he has not done it yet, and maybe yourself and SCB could be right in that he may never. But listening to Team Managers and Promoter that have had him in their team they have all said his equipment is poor.

I would prefer to see a programme rather than the race card.

Leigh Lanham would fit into the team nicely. Would leave us with 18.21 for the remaining 4 places. Maybe throw in someone like Dakota North. That would leave us 11.66 for 3 remaining places Add Andre Compton. That would leave 7.30 for 2 remaining places Stick in Facu Albin as one of the reserves. That would leave 3.68 for the last position. Then add either Ollie Greenwood or Damien Koppe. Not a bad side I don't think.

I think with Rob Branford the talent and promise is there, the missing element is his equipment, for some unknown reason he has neverquite got any decent sponsorship. Maybe spending a season back home working hard to gt himself some decent kit and coming back over we might see the rider that does have that talent and promise.

Spot on Third Man. 10 years service deserves a meeting for Ricky Ashworth especially when you see riders Kasperzak getting a meeting. Nice to see the new owners have been sorted out, would be nice to know who the consortium is but suppose we will find out in the near future. Hopefully we can now move on and build a team to be proud of. Personally don't want to go Elite, much prefer to stay with the Premier. And I suppose its a case of dusting down trainers for a sponsored walk. Wonder who will the one to volunteer for their sponsored chest wax.

About time, even I was starting to get a bit twitchy and impatient.

I don't know, never been to a meeting where he is doing centre green duties. But he sounds a bit of a character, and I like characters and there a rare in the sport at the moment.

I have always like Marmite.
