Manifesto

Played out pretty much how people thought it might of except the poor performance of Kurtz at Owlerton was a surprise. solid scores 1-7 from Sheffield which is a huge positive going forward. Chris and Jack looked abit down on power tonight the track seemed a lot slower then the 3 previous meetings, all the same though a fantastic heat 15 from Jack and Picko. Bewley was very fast too real quality from him. the national league meeting provided some entertaining races especially the ones involving Rushon and Cairns, these 2 will go far in the sport

I see it as the opposite actually I think 30 quid for 2 meetings is good value for fans. The NDL riders are raw but will provide some entertainment

Unlucky not to come away with the win Sheffield. The tac sub in heat 12 won it for the aces. Good performance from Jack Holder and Flint in particular. Aces reserves a lot weaker than ours which should see us through for the bonus point later on, can’t see Pickering dropping that many points

Double post*

Seen Jack Holder have more good rides than bad round NSS, don’t write off Rowe and Flint they have both stepped up a gear this season expect Flint and Kerr to better the BV reserves

30 races for 30 quid is good value in my book. I can understand people who go to the BV meeting finding it a bit of a long old day. think Sheffield will take the bonus point, Cook and Blodorn not great round Owlerton and Lidsey can be very hit and miss. Kurtz and Bewley will have to score 12 each to keep it tight

Looking forward to a great day of speedway, think both teams are well matched. For me the most exciting fixture in the league this season (so far) BV 48 Sheffield 42

Who we losing?

SHEFFIELD: Jack Holder, Anders Rowe, Chris Holder, Justin Sedgmen, Josh Pickering, Lewi Kerr, Leon Flint OXFORD: Rohan Tungate, Erik Riss, Charles Wright, Peter Kildemand, Maciej Janowski, Francis Gusts, Luke Killeen A very different looking lineup for Sheffield compared to the last 2 meetings. Kerr and Sedgmen drafted in makes us stronger at reserve but weaker in the main body. Picko put at number 5 makes sense as he’s been our best rider so far. think Riss and Wright will be the main threat from Oxford they can both ride Owlerton well and could get some points on board. Janowski looked good in parts last season so he could give the Holders a race or two. Tungate is horribly out of form but seems to like Sheffield. 51-39 home win

If the Craig Cook who scored 16 points for Oxford last year could show up every week I’d have him. Unfortunately that was a flash in the pan

Rowe has looked far better than a reserve as I expected he would, Flint has held his own as rising star (which we didn’t have last year), Sedgy and Kerr more than capable of scoring 10-11 points between them at Owlerton which is around what Tai and Hume would of returned. We have lost a huge rider and personality in woffy but we have to be real about the situation. If we can stay strong at home and pick up those bonus points that’s all that matters

I expected Kerr and Worrall myself but the management have likely gone with the best options they had available. Kerr can perform at number 2 in the team if he gets his gating gloves on, Sedgy will drop to reserve once averages change and he will be a big improvement on Hume. big pressure on Picko to keep up the good start he’s had to the season. I still see us easily making play offs

He was cruising last lap because he was that far in front. Probably the fastest on track last night barring possibly J Holder. Not many will beat those 2 round Owlerton on that form

Another really solid home performance for Sheffield. Pickering has never looked as fast literally coasting round last lap every race to an easy win. Jack Holder provided some great entertainment in heat 10 and 15 after missing the gate, felt Klindt and Lawson rode a great line in each race but just couldn’t defend against a world class rider. Harris as usual was 100% effort looked very good in parts, heat 9 was a great race between C Holder and Bomber. Lawson and Klindt showed some fight and speed for the away team, but Cook and Kvech were nowhere which was always going to result in a heavy loss for KL. only weak link for Sheffield is Hume who doesn’t look comfy at all riding Owlerton. Feel for the guy he’s trying his best doing laps after the meeting but feel like he’s already on borrowed time. If we can’t find a like for like replacement for woffy can see a double change coming

I’d be more worried about Kvech and Cook on tonight’s showing

Don’t think team changes will be made even if Sheffield hit 60 tonight. Who are they going to fetch in? They need to win home meetings this season and keep away meetings close as possible

Heard a couple weeks ago a rumour a corporation has bought the stadium and plans to refurbish it, run the speedway team and also greyhound nights

Wasn’t wrong though was I? 😂

Think if Harris is on it tonight KL win this

Think if Harris is on it tonight KL win this

After the demolition of Birmingham I’m expecting a tougher test against KL. Harris, Lawson, NKI all ride Owlerton well so will be some closer racing. Flint and Rowe had pretty much perfect Sheffield debuts hoping for more of the same. Ben Cook at number 1 is an obvious weak point for KL in this meeting fully expecting Harris to have 7 rides. No signs of a temp signing to cover for Tai guessing it will be R/R again. 52-38 home win

Brum were woeful apart from heat 12 and 13. Really was a shocking performance. Expected the heat leaders and Rew to be banging some points in. It was all too easy for Sheffield, Flint looked like a different rider than I’ve ever seen him round Sheffield. Rowe showing exactly why we signed him, he’s really on the up as a rider he will be one of the signings of the season. Picko and the Holders fast and smooth as ever. that was for Woffy ❤️

Fancy it to be close possibly last heat decider without Tai in the team. If one of Holder brothers has a slight off night its going to be a struggle, Picko is very close mates with woffy and I have a feeling this will have an impact on him next few weeks. 46-44 home win

No stream. Sheffield been given 28 facility to cover Tai but will be R/R on Thursday. Can’t help but feel down about Tai and I’m sure the team are the same but hope they put in a performance for him. Not sure who could come in and cover him? Lambert, Laguta, Lindgren Thorssell?
