I wonder how much they charge the casino customers maybe a way around paying 2 quid.
-
Or might even be a Taylor Poole. If you look at past winners there has been some really good riders won the Top Gun. And imagine if you offer a contract for the following season, surely you are going to attract the best of the young riders from GB and any Aussies who are over trying their luck.. And lets not forget the club have made a big play about rebuilding the asset base at Sheffield.
-
Maybe the club could make one of the prizes a contract to ride for Sheffield in 2014.

And Tom Cruise.

Had a good nights drinking?

I think that once the team is declared I don't think that you can swap the riding order around. Will be interesting to see who the Promotion decide to promote inot the msin body of the team. Whether it is Koppe or Albin remains to be seen. My personal preference is to go with Koppe at reserve, as I think he has the more potential to score more points than Albin and can take on the extra rides. But lets see where the Promotion goes with this one.
-
A rider can be as mardy or not smile at all as long as they get the points I don't care. There was a rider in the 60's and 70's who never smiled and was mardy called Charlie Monk never did him any harm.
-
Wells I usually do.
-
Wells spotted Now edited.
-
Had a look and yes he does as does Klaus Jakobsen, but not many others, the only other way to go is by signing one of the Scunthorpe Junior riders.
-
Would totally agree with what you say about Richard Hal. The one thing that bugged me about last season was the fact that he rode the number 4 position last season. For me he has to ride at number 5 next season at home. My riding order would be. Home (1) Stead (2) Haines (3) Wells (4) Albin (5) Hall (6) Knight (7) Koppe Away (1) Stead (2) Haines (3) Hall (4) Albin (5) Wells (6) Koppe (7) Knight.

Actually surprised myself how much I am looking forward to it myself. Be interesting to see how the team actually go on.
-
That has too be a hammer blow to the Scorpions, looking around there is not many riders out there who could possibly replace him.
-
Well that is it then Sheffield Speedway team starting 7. Not the best starting 7, but better than the previous one. The final signing Ricky Wells is a good one, I think he took time to get his set up right for Sheffield but certainly got that sorted towards the end of last season. But I think that he has proved by his Elite League form that he can beat good riders and I think that we will see have a far better season in Sheffield colours this season. Of the rumoured riders that were set to take jump in place of Ricky Wells if he did not sign. Stichauer, is more of a 2nd string than a heatleader. Poole; Might have been worth a shot, but seems to fall of a lot and get injured fairly easily, but would have been exciting. Nedermark; Not too sure if he would have cut it riding Sheffield week in week out, but Squall would have loved it. I think we have gotten the best option left to the club with Wells. The rest of the team. Stead will lead the team well, and should score decent points Hall will do it around Sheffield, but definitely needs to do the business away far more than he did last season and previous seasons, and this has too be his very last chance. Haines, completed what was a bit of a rehabilitation season last season, and the winning of the British Under 21 title gave him loads of confidence and it was noticeable that he was a better rider after that meeting. I can see improving on his starting average, not massively but I think he will make improvements. The other three will be unknown quantities nobody really know what is going to happen with them. Albin has a riding style that I think will excite the Sheffield speedway public, but I think he will struggle on some of the smaller tight tracks. Koppe, is the one that I have a feeling might be the better of the three. Kinight, the one that I worry about, but he has good people behind him and this is big chance lets hope he takes that chance. At present things stand we are probably looking at mid table at best, but how many times do we see teams finish with the team that they start with, a few changes in the riding personnel and things could be a bit different.
-
I think that mid table at the moment is the best we can look forward to. The problem is with three riders on assessed averages we don't have any form guide to look at to give us an idea how they possibly might go on.
-
I don't think that we have to wait long. I think that the time extension for signing Ricky Wells has been extended which suggests to me that they are coming close to agreeing a deal.
-
Argue back then.
-
Where in the statement does it say he is going to score loads of points?
-
Shadders fat. Bloody Hell, the rest of us better get on a diet. Perhaps you should change your name to Bean Pole if you consider Shadders to be fat.
-
Don't think it helps.
-
Depends what you mean by the end of the week, for the end of the week means Saturday.
-
The one thing I hope that the Team Management get the riding order right home and away. I think at home at least we have to go with Joe Haines partnering Simon Stead at 1 and 2. Why Joe at number 2? Think of the riders that have been best riders at number 2 in recent years, Skidmore and Wilson, the one thing that Joe has in common with those riders is an ability to gate very well. That would give Joe gates 1 or 2 which especially in the earlier heats when the track has had chance to settle means that gating is important. I also think that at home we need to have Richard Hall riding at number 5, and then move him to 3 or 4 for away matches. The one thing that they must do next season is play to the riders strength and be prepared to rotate rider riding positions.
-
Thought that myself when I checked it out,.Nedermark would give you a solid top 5. Mind you how long would Charlie last before he hurt himself.
-
Lodge an appeal. They could go with Nedermark and Charles Wright too replace the two Aussie's.
-
This work permits issue seems to be a real nightmare, and I just wonder why the applications of these two riders has been turned down. Sheffield have gone down the same avenue as Glasgow and signed two foreign 5 point assessed riders and a 3 point British rider, wonder if we are going to be faced with the same problem.
