For me it’s definitely a watch on the TV job.

For me it’s definitely a watch on the TV job

See Kyle Howarth has also had to pull out of the British Final tomorrow with after effects of his crash at Glasgow on Friday, hopefully he’s back fully fit for Thursdays meeting

Just saying that a lot of the riders now have the one month rolling contract rather than signing for the whole season, know at anytime the club can bin them off but this gives rider more control if they either don’t fancy the league or get a better deal to ride in Poland after signing a Warsaw contract

He’ll more than likely have the same rolling one month contract like Kildemand has at Berwick, can drop Championship speedway when it suits

Any news on Howarth after heat 13, updates just say been seen by paramedic?

Glasgow need the big 3 to fire to have a chance tonight, hopefully Kyle Howarth is fully recovered from his illness from Sunday toll and that it’s another closer one for the fans

Didn’t Lewi Kerr say at start of year he’d got brand new engines for this season? If that’s the case could just be testing problems

Didn’t expect the meeting to be that one sided. Sheffield rode pretty solid from 1-7, as has been said earlier both Holders looked slower than usual, Pickering was his usual Owlerton 2025 self, Rowe again picked up good points unsure if he got a knock on the arm when Flint didn’t look who was behind him in Ht8 and unintentionally fenced him, Sedgmen a lot better than his afternoon performance and the Kerr/Flint reserve combo outstanding again. As for Belle Vue Lemon must be scratching his head,does he leave the 1-7 as it is or make a change(s). Bewley did his job looking ultra quick on a couple of races, Zischke did well for his first visit, think it helped him there was an outside line as that seems to be his go to style, Mulford was always going to struggle against the in form Sheffield reserves, but the combo of Kurtz, Blodorn, Lidsey and Cook scoring 15 from 16 rides was shocking, Kurtz especially poor as he basically rode at Owlerton for a season when guesting for Simon Stead so knows his way around the place, thought he was on for an Audi badge at one point. As other posters have said scores in May mean nothing come October, Sheffield have turned Belle Vue over in the league meetings on many occasions but failed in the important ones at the end of the season, hopefully that curse can be lifted this season.

The bank holiday lunch time meetings do Belle Vue no favours, track will always be different for those than the usual Monday evening conditions, which nibbles away at the home track advantage. It might make the club a few more quid with extra fans making the journey but racing Isn’t as good and puts home team on back foot also.

It was £27 to sit (£25 to stand) at Belle Vue earlier today so tonight is £3 or £5 more to watch 15 more heats if both Sheffield and Belle Vue junior teams, don’t see why Belle Vue fans should be whinging about that

Lemon was quick to drop Mountain last season wonder if he’ll be as quick dropping an Aussie in Zischke? He looked poor for Workington on Saturday and even worse today, if the outside line doesn’t work he looks lost. For me Belle Vue need to change it at number 6 now and can always bring Zischke back in later in the season if he regains some form in the Championship

Should be some good battles this evening, Harris v Cook, Thompson v Kemp and Howarth v Kildemand, plus Smith wanting to prove a point down at reserve, could be very close if Tigers top 5 aren’t all at 100%

Always a risk signing Cook as Leicester have already experienced this year, all in all think Leicester have the better deal with Kemp

When MJJ goes this month (when Swedish season start) watch Zagar’s visa be OK and him come back like a rat up a drainpipe wanting his £3k a meeting increasing to £4k holding Birmingham to ransom to ensure they have some sort of team to put out

From when I’ve seen Boughen ride live and on tv he’s never wanted to ‘mix it’ in the first bend rolling off seems the be the common thought process for him If he hasn’t gated, being fast tracked after his moto-x and not having much opportunity to go through likes of NDL and get used to the hurly burly first bends it’s sort of biting him in the arse now with riding with better riders generally it’s 3 or 4 riders all there wanting similar space at same time. Think it’s going to have to be a patience thing with him and just know he could be a 0,3,0 type of rider until something clicks with him with the tough first bends. If he gates as people have said he looks fast as, so there’s definitely something there to work with

See Max Perry has withdrawn after two rides tonight for Kings Lynn Young Stars, hopefully nothing too serious and just precautionary

Anyone know what the revised line up is for this meeting? Heard there’s been at least rider pull out who'd been seeded direct to the British Final itself. Be good to know whose been ‘promoted’ from the semi

Very much gate and go last night and think scoreline flattered Sheffield a bit, most races all over by exit of turn 2. Good points for Flint although still doesn’t look quick out front, but suppose that’s the more experienced riders know how to shepherd home a younger rider. Decent Tigers (2nd) debut for Kerr only dropping points after a ‘love tap’ on Kildemand. Sheffield’s top 3 did what they needed to with Jack looking fast all night (did he jump in ht15?) As for Oxford surprised Wright didn’t get Ht15 having scored more points that Janowski in less rides, suppose it depends what riders have written into their contracts (example being Musielak for Birmingham at Ipswich !!), Riss, Kildemand and the reserves didn’t really show up so was only a 3 rider fight.

End of season only if it finishes in June

No reason for it to be extended, it’ll be a case of replacement or R/R / Guest at reduced average, Sheffield need to use this chance to strengthen bottom order by replacing Woffinden and Hume with Worrall and Sedgman (or Kerr) would take a bit of pressure off Rowe and Flint making two changes

Gilkes incoming for Hagon if Leicester want any chance of competing when it comes to Rising Star

Wonder when we’re going to hear some news on the replacement(s) at Sheffield?

If Doyle and Emil can recover their usual away form after Birmingham blip then can see an away win 40-50, Thompson should be getting a good haul points if current form is continued as can’t see either home reserve beating him. The Becker/Douglas/Howarth v King/Ellis/Brennan will be key if Leicester are to get anything as can’t see Masters picking up much against the Witches 1 & 5 during the night

If the tracks are flat and slick like NSS as an example Cook generally OK, once there’s a bit of dirt on there or a bit of an uneven track he generally struggles (his away average wasn’t great last season), he should really be a number 2 or 4 for Kings Lynn but unfortunately for him the team wasn’t built with out and out heat leaders
