It will be interesting to see how this one pans out.

Cook's away average will be 0 0 0 3 or 1 1 1 3 depending on which Kildemand turns up.

Would Aces have won with Kurtz & Blodorn.. who knows. Guessing we hope Lions get aggregate win over Tigers. Strength in depth teams can prevail but isn't great having a Bewley. Hope he was as entertaining tonight as he was at midday. Jeppeson is an untidy uncompromising sort, but he's much more useful than I gave him credit for.

Decent meeting, Leicester about what I'd expect not knowing what Morris would do apart from Masters & Kemp who were disappointing. Masters passed by both Cook & Kildemand in one heat for not moving off the inside. Almost felt sorry for Douglas he was damned whatever he did in the final bend Bewley was coming through be it inside (as proved) or outside. Bewley wasn't gating, not sure he'd have got past Masters in his opening ride if Cairns hadn't hit the front which made Masters try to do something. Kildemeand's first two gates were utterly woeful but he looked good towards the end. Personally I thought Howarth was unlucky to be excluded but haven't had the benefit unlike those who have watched the stream, Zischke certainly enjoyed getting the better of him in heat 14. For the record I think Kemp completed 4 laps in each of his rides! Jeppesen obviously far more suited to NSS than Perry Barr.

Is that Stonehewer doing the track walk?

Why wait for the riders to start warming up the engines before playing the team manager interviews?

Difficult to predict this meeting as I have no idea how Jeppesen will do. He was appalling at Perry Barr when I saw him but others have said it was just Perry Barr where he struggled. Also can't remember how Morris fares at NSS if indeed I have ever seen him here before. Can't imagine Bewley being troubled but Kemp could be a trump card. 47-43 without any conviction. Masters & Douglas always did better for Wolves on midday BHM's than they did on regular 7:30 starts.

Well Brennan is doing the track walk, so obviously not had any issues getting to NSS in time. It's strange to think the last time I saw him was riding for Bydgoszcz v Gorzow.

Because never once have I been to Owlerton and the away team have won the toss!

Kildemand very hit & miss, looked faster than C Holder in his first ride after passing Flint then was utterly anonymous in his next two rides, looked fast enough in his fourth but had to yield to Bewley's hunt down of C Holder, which was good. Cook was disappointing, won his last ride when the points were decided gave it a go at forcing his was past Etheridge on the run in to the line, but didn't manage it. Cairns score looked reasonable for an away RS but only beat Kileen twice, once in heat 2 when Kileen was off the graveyard gate 3 and in heat 4 when Bewley was on the graveyard gate 3 so Bewley kept Kileen at the back after getting past him. Thomson, Zischke & Harris were largely anonymous. I witnessed Harris score 19 points from 7 rides at Sheffield in 2021, 5 years on maybe its beyond him now. Bewley cut back scything between Pickering & J Holder in heat 13 was a joy to watch.

Dan Bewley take a bow, he was tremendous. The rest of the Aces may as well have not shown up. Best racing I've seen at Owlerton for some time. Shame gate 3 is still a graveyard in the early heats.

Just got to Owlerton to hear no Kurt's, great. Belle Vue to get the graveyard gate 3 for 3 of the opening 4 heats... Tigers 10 points up by heat 4.

Well I was hoping someone would post a reasonable report of the action of the meeting, rather than 3 pages of Cairns chat but hey ho. Will be at Owlerton for an inevitable Aces humiliation on Thursday.

Last rode in 2019. So 6 years ago. Looking froward to visiting a new track.

Is there a list of previous winners anywhere?

2022 Overall Tobiasz Musielak 9.04 Jack Holder 8.67 Away Tobiasz Musielak 8.42 Jack Holder 7.22

Sheffield 2023. Overall. Jack Holder 9.40 Tobiasz Musielak 9.35 Tai Woffinden 9.12 Away Tobiasz Musielak 8.50 Tai Woffinden 8.33 Jack Holder 8.00 That doesn't suggest if motivated and in a competitive team that Musielak will struggle to win heats home & away.

I like the new badge.

I haven't read it fully but I believe Wright said that without a Premiership berth if he didn't have a ride in Polish League with Landshut he'd have quit speedway because he couldn't make it pay.

Don't think BP's were removed from GSA's until early 2000's so I'd imagine those Ipswich averages include BP's.

Erik Gundersen 10.23, Simon Wigg 8.86, Lance King 8.74, Alan Grahame 8.69, Phil Collins 7.98, Peter Ravn 7.97, Jan O. Pedersen 6.78 Tony Rickardsson 10.35, Tomasz Gollob 9.38, Chris Louis 9.35, Scott Nicholls 6.41, Antonín Šváb Jr. 4.98 Savalas Clouting 4.19. Really,? No one ever mentions Oxford 86. But that doesn't compare either

I applaud Sheffield for sticking with Flint & Rowe. Why Etheridge & the elder Holder who is 15 years past his best I don't know.
