Far from impressed TBF, Broc Nicol looking at updates sites has only scored points in the UK when in NL challenge level meetings, never scored points in World U21 meetings or similar levels... Too much of a gamble in main body of the team untried and untested at this level, We needed to strengthen and this i see as a totally backwards step. Happy to be proven wrong or if someone has better knowledge happy to be told. With regards Georgie Wood happy to see him back as i thought he was very unlucky not to make the starting 7 at the start of the season but really feel sorry for Jack Smith who has put half a point on his average. The whole shambolic situation for me comes down to poor team management as they should have replaced Josh properly when he was 1st injured.

meeting preview is out and no changes to team lineup

Im not sure how Sheffield can strengthen as we are currently over the 42.50 average limit unless there is something in place that we can drop Jan and replace Josh upto his average which would mean we can replace Jan with a rider upto 6.54... Im confused though how this could happen as Jan has ridden for more than the 28 day temporary replacement period.

If Holder couldnt ride for Australia in the Speedway of Nations why would he be allowed to ride in Cardiff ?

I was more intimidating at the home fixture as Newcastle, Redcar and Berwick have not got riders who go well at owlerton hence the one sided meetings...

Not just the lack of fixtures but also for me a few teams that will not be competitive.. I make a 80 mile round trip to Sheffield and I'm not making the effort to watch redcar and Berwick, already avoided Newcastle and redcar already.. I also miss 3 meetings in August due to holidays so pretty fed up this year already as I've been to 3 league meetings and steadys testimonial..

What a shambles of a meeting and i can only feel sorry for the poor folks with season tickets who have paid for this, I certainly wont be wasting my time and money. one 7.95 average rider and a 5.95 then the other 4 riders averaging 4 or below. Surely in the interest of the paying public and speedway in general this meeting should be called off and rearranged when redcar will be more competitive. Yes i like winning but not at all costs as anyone who goes tonight will probably never return.

My understanding was it was a 28 day facility but looking at the new averages with everyone increasing there starting average we do not have enough points to bring Josh back in, I think we can only swap now on the current averages, please feel free to advise if I'm incorrect

I would have swapped Jan and Todd around Jan has heat 9 and 14 which we look very vunerable with. I actually think if Campton goes well we will lose this meeting.

Simon Stead makes perfect sense.... Fairly local, Knows the Bates/Machin promotion, Also was heavily involved in the Vaculik deal...

Howarth, Kurtz, Wright, Bates, Bjerre, Shanes & Smith

I sat laughing to myself whilst reading the press release about media and keeping fans informed then advising we going to tell you nothing for a further 3-8 weeks... great PR

That was my thought for last 3 but i believe Howarth, Kurtz and Shanes fits also ??

Josh Bates fits !!

Looks a decent side... would be very happy with that

Are we going to build very top heavy team with reserves that would be ok at home but with new rules on tactical moves we have big hitters away Promoters have also listened to fans’ feedback and have scrapped the tactical ride for double points and rolled back the years by bringing back the traditional tactical substitute when a team is six points or more behind. This applies between Heats 5-14 excluding Heat 8. Away meetings we keep it close with 3 heat leaders but have the option at 6 points down to replace a reserve with a 8 point plus rider as we would have 3 then hit teams hard in heats 13 and 15.

Well thats unexpected.... Im guessing a rider came available who changed the team building options Happy with it though

Just seen Nathan Greaves has been told he is not in Ipswich plans.. would be happy with Nathan at reserve with Georgie

Right its sorted for 2018 : Josh G 9.47 Dan Bewley 5.95 Josh Bates 6.54 Kyle Newman 6.10 or David Howe 6.18 Kyle Howarth 8.62 James Sergeant 3.33 Georgie Wood 2.31 For me every rider would maintain there average but i feel 4 could possibly put a point on there starting average

We have only released Lasse as josh and Kyle are committed.. So far we have : Josh G Kyle H Georgie I would then assume Josh B Next it comes a choice of Todd or Jan After that its anyones guess.. If you looking at lower average reserves : Sergeant for me is a good shout especially if the starting regulations help.. Robert Branford? JPB Middle order : Lewis Kerr Kyle Newman Paul Starke Charles Wright

But that rules out All premiership clubs , surely his tweet would have been need a club championship only ?

I can understand Sheffield going with Josh & Kyle, Best mates and ride together well plus they will retain there average , Not sure Lasse would be as reliable although was awesome last year and once he got dialled in at Owlerton he was nearly untouchable. Biggest shock is it looks like the Bates have also released him from Leicester, i would have thought that maybe if they couldnt accommodate him at Sheffield they would have given him a sweetener and got him at Leicester
