The Third Man

Very nice of the promotion to offer free admission to the first match celebrating my 50th season watching speedway Thank You PS very good gesture

Would have had Garrity back at Sheffield in a flash, most of the times worth the entrance fee on his own

not saying they wont, but if we win what have we beaten, its going to be advertised as a match against a PL team when it isnt

I think the track was where the athletics stadium / go cart track now are. easily see on google earth

i think Bob Paulson rode there a few times as well I think the track was where the athletics stadium / go cart track now are. easily see on google earth

so we have a challenge match against another championship team, would have hoped we could pit our team against a premership team to see how strong we are

Hopefully Josh G for us and a guest to his average for Somerset, lets see how we can go against a full team

Thanks

i agree, but surely the meeting needs to be held in a central location to get as many supporters there as possible, holding it in Glasgow, not a dig at Glasgow by the way, will not maximise the support is there anyway you can make a donation on line for the supporters who wont be able to attend?

Just said the same in the Leicester thread, please make it happen, get him away from here

Yes please, keep him away from Sheffield

No thanks, we have an excellent team for the league we are in, never know might get promoted at the end of the season

So its three teams in isolation this year. next year lets say two more teams in isolation and so on, how long before these isolated problems mean there is no speedway. These problems are a problem for the whole of speedway, not just for the three teams

Waiting for Belle Vue?

and they will changed as soon as possible, usually when people have already booked their away trip

Merry Chrismas from the more famous tigers as well

Even if that was true it would be irrelevant, you cant hold up a meeting because someone is having bike problems, unless after a crash,

Never thought of him staying with Stead as team manager, but as you say nothing to say he has gone, heres hoping though

I have to say that every time Boocock gets involved with Sheffield he upsets riders and the track gets slick, hopefully with him gone next season we can get back to normal

Yet some tracks do it on a regular basis, and Sheffield actually managed it on few occasions last season, the best meeting being against Newcastle in the league cup

Just to put the record straight, they didn't throw a match, they bet that their team, Sheffield Wednesday, would lose, in fact one of them got the man of the match award after the game, still a serious offence but not match fixing

Would want to risk your life for no pay, that's what you are saying he should have done I can understand someone going through the motions and staying safe, after all it is the promotion short changing the fans, by collecting their money and not paying the riders who therefore did not put on a show for fans

A lot will depend on who has first call on the riders when there are fixture clashes, this could be just as important as any injuries we may get

Great news, potentially, hope this works out, and with team as it is should be a good year. As long as we get the track sorted out.

the name change is irrelevant, it wont change anything at all The strange thing is on radio Sheffield before the play off final they said the winner of the play off final would be "Promoted" to the Premier League (they don't do speedway normally) how ever as it happens they were correct, Somerset won the play offs, moved up a league and will ride in the premier league So maybe they knew more than the speedway experts knew after all.
