Looking forward to watching this later on sky, Could be a close meeting but think Stars to win by 10.

Hopefully the weather forecast improves, If on i think another 20 point win could be on cards !

Great opening performance by the Tigers, one of best i have seen in years ! We do look very strong outfit around Owlerton and hopefully we can go unbeaten this season at home. Simon Stead - Starting the season in style and looking unbeatable around Owlerton ! Andre Compton - Great to see him starting the season well, his partnership with Stead in heat 1 will always give us a good start to meeting. Ashley Birks - Solid performance from Ash and will no doubt improve more. Ty Proctor - Good start, plenty more to come i think. David Bellego - Great to see him blasting around Owlerton for us, just one mistake in heat 13 allowing Auty easy run around outside and that was it. Josh Bates - Postive start and his style much better compared to last season, trip down under done him world of good. Arthur Sissis - Didn't get the points his effort deserved, once he works out the line around bend 1 & 2 then he will do well, scrubbed a lot of speed off in middle of 1 & 2.

With Air Fence now in place at every track riders do try more risky moves which i am sure many appreciate but with that risk comes reward but also bad injuries and more of them. I don't think the bikes are the problem, yes they are quick but more often than not it is the rider trying way to hard and get all out of shape and often it is the same riders getting injured over and over.

I am confident we will take maximum points but every meeting against Scunthorpe are tough, We do have a team of Owlerton specialists so we could take some stopping !

£50,000 is a brilliant effort so far and i am sure it will not stop there. It was a great day and the Speedway Family really did everything they could to support Ricky ! Massive well done to all who organised Ricky's big day, proud to be a speedway fan.

I will be going, they still do quite a bit ! They did same last year had a behind closed doors session day before.

I think main problem for Speedway and have mentioned this before, people want value for money and they quite simply get that elsewhere ! I go to Ice Hockey it costs £15 i get a comfy seat, i know it will be on and the night runs smoothly with plenty of choice for all ages. Football is expensive each game but they don't play a home game every week so kind of balances itself out cost wise. Speedway needs to offer more and be at a more affordable price, more so for newcomers, i don't need to be won over ! I love Speedway and will go until day i leave this planet but that won't help speedway in long run. We have to entice people away from the alternative options and give all ages a good night at the speedway, maybe a home meeting should be just every two weeks to make it easier to afford. If your a family trying to afford £50 quid a week plus i can imagine it would be hard and they no doubt pick and choose.

Well I would hope the old averages for qualification are used for this year but then next year the new averages needed are brought in.

Great to see Andre Compton back for us, didn't expect him to be back after the accident last season but before that he was showing the Andre of old and hitting good form so hopefully he can start off like that and have a great season. We look very strong around Owlerton, I would be surprised if we lost at home this season with a side built heavily in favour or winning all meetings at home and hopefully with that confidence we can pick up some good results away from home at same time. Here is to an injury free season and hopefully a very good one for the Sheffield Tigers.

Think I read somewhere that he does not have a team in Poland after his club was axed, so maybe he would give up PZM licence to ride in PL.

1. Kings Lynn 2. Poole 3. Coventry 4. Belle Vue 5. Lakeside 6. Swindon 7. Leicester 8. Wolverhampton Going to be an interesting season in EL, always depends on injuries but on how teams look at moment I don't see Swindon doing as well this year and 4th and 5th I think could be a close battle between Belle Vue & Lakeside with I hope the Aces winning that battle. Bring on the new season.

Well now decision is in I hope Darcy has finally learnt his lesson and hopefully be much better for it in future, I think 10 months is fair but would not have disagreed with a 12 month ban either. He is a top class rider and no doubt when he returns he will be scoring big points wherever he is.

- Press & Practice Day - The first race, and at same time a successful meeting for Ricky Ashworth which hopefully helps him and his family out big time. - Sheffield to have a great season with no injury nightmare - Simon Stead to retain his PLRC title and Josh Bates to retain U21 title.

Maybe Coventry just didn't want to loan him money for kit if he is just going to quit in middle of season or whatever and not knowing for definite of getting money back. It is a shame and hope Lewis does return later on this season or next year, think if he does return he needs to race in premier league and work his way back up.

I think that tag goes to Leigh Adams !

Lee Complin, mainly to see how far he could have gone in the sport if took it serious as a full time career !
