The Third Man

No one seems bothered with fill in matches anymore, attractive or not. Still should save me some money

Yes a GP rider can double up but not Nichols, you couldn't make it up, except the BSPA have wonder who he has upset

In the past Sheffield used to have a WC qualifying meeting, the occasional British Final, a Northern Riders Qualifier and the final, and usually at least one other individual meeting i guess our preferences for the type of meetings we like to watch must have changed

Crazy rule, Scott helped us many times last season with varying success, to ban him is stupid, Use his guest bookings to give him an average, he must have ridden enough as a home and away guest to qualify

Neil Machin used to make a profit at Sheffield because he built teams to win at home, he once said that is more profitable to have a team that won at home than a team that was high up the league but not doing so well at home

You win titles with a solid number 1 and riders that can improve their averages, Howe is not one of those riders

Hope not or i might not be going next season

Would prefer to stay on Thursday and I cant understand why three championship clubs will have to change race nights as opposed to on PL club. Sundays would be the only viable opportunity for me but it would need to be evening not in the afternoon to ruin the whole of Sunday there would also be clashes in the early and late season with football potentially being on a Sunday as well So if we swap to Wednesday I will only be going to the odd match and to rearranged matches that are on a alternative race night

It's a no for Sheffield

and i am the opposit, but i dont want Sundays either

Agree i am afraid he is not a number 1, second heat leader maybe

Sorry but it isn't 2008 next season, Ben Wilsons time came and went many years ago, why would you want him instead of either of this seasons reserves?

From a selfish point of view they don't for me

Look at Sheffields team in 1973, I think our lowest average rider was about 6.75 and everyone in that team could beat anybody, no reserves there just to make up the team

So Barker was not fit Monday but is tomorrow, and Lambert was fit enough for five rides on Monday but not fit tomorrow that virus is getting around a bit

Going to be like an old end of season challenge match with two league select select teams riding against each other Thinking about it I suppose that's been quite a lot of matches this season

can those two be at reserve?

Yes apparently injured for two weeks a week ago but this injury apparently cleared up in a week so he could earn a lot more money in Poland than he could have earned last Monday Obviously the leg injury was caused by his celebrations after the meeting last Sunday In a nothing meeting but missing the meeting that actually meant something I would not want him riding for my team again, and certainly would not be making excuses for him

You wouldn't have needed a replacement if he had ridden

and you are happy about the two week mystery injury clearing up in a week so he can earn a lot of money in Poland?

Time really flies at the moment, one week for the price of two He should be banned tomorrow for missing Mondays match, cant believe any Newcastle fan would want him to ride after costing you the cup match

Well done to Ipswich, you deserve to win something this season. Think the Howarth injury was the final straw for us

Couldn't agree more, cant understand the knockers, hopefully both teams will still be here next season

Understand it all now

he was limping in the bar after, banged his left knee I would rather have him fit for Thursday / Friday than tonight Just seen on BSPA web site that Kyle needs a weeks rest, so could miss Thursday / Friday as well
